Foreword, what has the S10 upgraded compared to the previous W10 Pro?
Hello, I'm Mr. Lin, and we meet again!
Recently, I've been very busy with work, and I've written very little, but I'm still very interested in the customer base and products I'm familiar with, and I don't want to give up on my favorite things at any time, so I've been working a lot lately, but I've also been working a lot with customers in the healthcare, consumer goods, industrial, and power industries.
This is the first time I've ever seen a product like this in the marketplace.
Nowadays, the sweeper market is said to be the red sea is not an exaggeration, whether it is the stone, after looking for, Corvus, Rui Mi, cloud whale and so on are trying to compete in the market first, at the same time on the side of a Mijia tigers eyeing, thanks to the strong supply chain advantage of the Mi system and the brand advantage, the sweeper is now basically the so few players!
First of all, my opinion of the market for a few players!
Idle words, I recently chased the new S10 and S10PRO for some of the analysis contains personal views, in the end worth buying, to say that the price of sweeping machine is now higher and higher, if there is no real configuration, so that the user to pay out of pocket also set of pain. In today's sweeping and dragging washing and drying dust collection sweeper market. Low-end machines and high-end machines have their own consumer groups.
Although it is said that the pursuit of the W10 PRO was released not long ago, but this does not delay the pursuit of the new release of the S10 series, the spearhead of whom, naturally, is the stone and the mainstream model of the Corvus, as for how to choose, to everyone to organize a table. Do it briefly and concisely.
Comparison What is upgraded in the W10 Pro?
In addition to the appearance of the downright change, this new flagship S10 in the function of the upgrade is also a lot, the main points are as follows:
These parts of the above and the performance of the W10 Pro is similar, but the S10 outward ornaments do not continue the appearance of the design of the W10 PRO, but the use of and the previous L10 PLUS dust-collecting sweeper design, the D-shaped The appearance of the short and wide base station is abandoned, and the short and wide base station is designed to be a tall base station. Gold (S10 Pro) / Silver (S10) adopts a color clash design, which makes reasonable use of vertical space and does not take up floor space. Easily shuttle through narrow indoor spaces.
Flagship and just one step away, is the extra money worth it or not?
If the W10 Pro plus a dust collection on the achievement of the S10 is not incorrect, indeed, nowadays one step away from the sweeping robot is characterized by the greatest savings in our physical strength, such as the recent very hot automatic water, dust collection dust bag, built-in water tank, built-in detergent, automatic cleaning of the base station, and so on, these features are not become the standard configuration for us as a lazy person, the perfect solution to our daily mopping, the perfect solution to our daily mopping. Perfect solution to our daily wash mop, manually clean dust, manually add water to pour sewage pain points, you know every time you pour sewage odor really sad. The design of the All-in-One model has changed the way we think about things.
S10 built-in water tank micro 2.5L, although compared to the W10 PRO 4L slightly smaller, but the S10 host comes with a 80ML water tank, the role of this built-in water tank is mainly to reduce the sweeper back to clean the frequency and number of mops, reduce the time of sweeping and mopping, the design of this design, regardless of the stone, the Corvus, have designed the same function.
S10 dust bag capacity 3L, this dust bag is designed in the center of the sweeper, just the location of the S10 decorative parts, open and close are relatively simple, with the design of the built-in dust bag, the S10 can be easily replaced once every 2 months no problem at all.
In fact, regardless of S10 or S10 PRO, the two models are supported by the host of automatic water replenishment, automatic addition of cleaning fluid, as well as the realization of the automatic dust collection, as for the mop automatic lifting and automatic up and down the water function, one has not shrunk, and the difference between the S10 and S10 PRO is the 5 years of service accessories, while the PRO supports fast charging at the same time configured with a 6800mAH, compared to the S10 5400mAH, the S10 5400mAH, the S10 PRO, the S10 PRO and the S10 PRO. S10 5400mAH battery. Personally, I still think the S10 is more affordable and cost-effective.
True flagship S10 Pro, how is the actual experience?
When it comes to the biggest difference between S10 and W10Pro, I think that in addition to the increase in dust collection and built-in water tanks, the obstacle avoidance principle of the two machines is also slightly different, as opposed to coming to chase the W10Pro: 3D ToF surface array laser than to chase S10 Pro: 3D structured line array to be more practical, but in the actual test found that the S10 obstacle avoidance effect of the gap is not big.
In the previous generation of W10Pro, we used the 3D ToF surface array laser + AI vision camera for the first time to realize the active obstacle avoidance, and in the actual use of the mother's words, this sweeper basically has not been stuck, and the use of collision with the obstacles in the chances are not a lot. I can say that the 3D ToF laser + AI vision camera is really powerful.
When I use the sweeper at home to avoid table legs and toys, I find that the robot has more advantages in recognizing these obstacles, and the design of the structured light and visual obstacle avoidance allows the sweeper to effectively avoid linear and easy to tangle objects, allowing the robot to work more efficiently.
S10 and W10 PRO, Chase has been using a single-brush head design, and compared to the dual-brush head design of the Corvus, the single-brush head is not inferior to the dual-brush head in terms of performance in dealing with particles. When dealing with particles, a proper reduction in the speed of the roller brush can reduce the phenomenon of particles being ejected.
In and a few other models such as the stone Corvus, basically used 3D TOF laser and AI visual recognition. It can be said that 3D structured light + AI recognition has become the standard configuration of the flagship sweeper. And this technology is also a very practical technology that has been verified by the market today.
Sweeping robot hardware configuration on the one hand, but also need to cooperate with the software, the robot algorithm in each home, each has its own algorithmic standards, in my previous use of a variety of sweeping robot, the stone and the algorithmic design of the pursuit of a more scientific, while the cloud whale algorithm is more random. The algorithm of Corvus also has its own characteristics. Excellent algorithms can make the sweeper in the sweeper more scientific planning map and sweeping way.
I looked at several flagship models now on sale, the design of the built-in water tank are designed, whether it is the stone's G10S PRO or the X1 of the Corvus, have a body with a water tank (80ml), the stone's self-tank is the largest, but the stone's G10S is derived from its own family of T7S machine design, and simply retained the tank, the built-in tank of water. The benefit is that it reduces the number of times the sweeper has to charge back to clean the rags when sweeping.
At the same time, the built-in water tank can also better keep the rags humid and automatically replenish water, while the S10 series has a built-in 80ML water tank, and is also designed with a rotating rag that can be lifted. This feature in the sweeper After recognizing the carpet, back to the base station, over the threshold and other scenes automatically lift the wipe, will not let the wipe dirty sweeping completed the ground, the design details of this feature is now only stone of the G10S series and the pursuit of the S10 series of two machine configuration.
As the design of the S10 design using the height of the design to reduce the floor space occupied by the sweeper, so now the sweeping and towing washing and drying dust collection all-in-one machine due to the built-in of a high-capacity dust bag, so in the capacity of the water tank of the base station to make some improvements, generally a few have adopted the design of the 2.5L, and the range of this 2.5L tank is enough to use, let's test it. Let's test it. A maximum of 200 square meters of household cleaning; and S10 series water tank built-in silver ions slow-release particles, you can keep the water quality for a long time to effectively sterilize.
In fact, many students think that the size of the water tank of the sweeper is related to the area of sweeping and dragging, of course, so that roughly is not wrong, but change the humidity of the mop on the water consumption is not much impact, clean water is mainly consumed in the mop self-cleaning time. Therefore, if you want to improve the duration of the water tank, you can reduce the frequency of back washing according to the actual situation. This can better improve the sweeping and mopping area of the sweeper.
The S10 also adds the built-in cleaning fluid to the design, and I've seen a few machines before, except for the Cloud Whale's J2, which has this feature, and this time, the S10 didn't skimp on it, and the built-in cleaning fluid is a good way to avoid the cumbersome operation of dumping the cleaning fluid every time.
For the automatic water design that everyone cares about, the current official cost of the automatic water component is 699 RMB. In fact, the S10's water system is relatively compact. The advantage of the automatic water is that it can perfectly free your hands, and you no longer need to worry about the problem of dumping sewage, so we suggest that lazy students can take into account the actual economic problems, as well as the installation conditions and other constraints, and once in place to buy the installation service.
I believe that many if the sweeper is not familiar with the students for the pursuit of this mop lifting and not much experience, to know before the design of mop lifting first appeared in the stone on the sweeper, the early sweeper with a mop, back to charge the floor after the need to lay waterproof mats, to avoid wet rags soak the floor, but also easy to senior bacteria, and then later on the design of sweepers, and then the design of the sweeper, and then the mop lifting. The mop is designed to lift and lower the mop, and the mop automatically rises after it is recharged.
At the same time, the rag lift can also be a good way to avoid such as carpet, back to the charging rag pollution mopping clean ground, so the rag lift is a very good function, before this, similar competitors only use vibration flat mopping stone "mop lifting" function, which has become a stone sweeper a huge differentiation selling point. This has become a huge differentiating selling point for the stone sweeper.
The mop component of the new S10 has changed from the previous design of sewing the mop directly onto the bracket to the mainstream Velcro fixation; the Velcro design makes it easier to replace the mop.
In addition to the S10, the W10 and W10 PRO have long been equipped with ultrasonic sensors as standard, because the ultrasonic sensors used to detect the ground material are located in front of the machine in the direction of travel, and when the sensors detect a change in the ground material, the machine is judged to have been under the carpet, and the mopping assembly begins to rotate to clean. The ultrasonic sensor also makes quick work of building a map for the first time; I often got stuck on carpet during my early mapping sessions with robots that didn't have ultrasonic sensors.
I was bored comparing the suction power of several sweeping, mopping, washing, and drying robots, and to judge a sweeper's sweeping and mopping capabilities, the suction power and press-on wipes became the main dimensions of judging the two capabilities, and the suction power of the Chase S10 5,300 PA is really the ceiling of the industry. It really does reject the "mud" type of mopping.
You can see that the S10 is very even in the daily cleaning of the ground, whether it is on light or heavy cleaning mode, the S10 can be very good to deal with the particles on the ground, but also for some of the dust has a very good role.
S10 when used at home for the carpeted areas directly can choose to wipe lift up to sweep, there is also an option to avoid the carpet, sweeper choose not on the carpet sweeping.
After the S10 is used and returned to the base station, it cleans up the sewage and dust, and starts washing and drying the rags to keep them clean during the second sweep.
For the video function, now many sweepers can add this function, in fact, the robot's vision system is early for indoor obstacle recognition used, and now on the market machine vision basically RGB and black and white, and the function of the video can be extended, in conjunction with the software based on the realization of the home and the scene for an interactive.
The S10 comes with a sound unit, so it can deliver voice messages through the APP when the sweeper is working, but the sweeper is not designed with a microphone, so it doesn't have a two-way call function.
S10 in addition to support APP internal remote control, S10 machine under the video function also added cruise mode and fixed-point pointing mode, you can choose any point, let the robot automatically go. This point is similar to the call sweeping of Corvus. The first thing you need to do is to get the robot to do the job.
When you actually use the S10's video function, it's easy to summarize the machine's wide-angle vision, with a good range of viewing angles and little distortion. It's a lot of fun to tease the family cat and puppy. In addition, the S10's camera is on and off is a louder voice announcement - this design is not for home guests to silently open the sweeper's camera to a privacy sneak peek to do a warning, the design of the same idea and the design of the Japanese cell phone back in the day, the photo can not be turned off when the beeping, a very thoughtful design! The design idea is the same as Japan's cell phone design back then, when taking pictures you can't turn off the beep, very thoughtful design. Obviously, this is for privacy reasons, (even if the machine is hijacked) there is a clear hint to the user when opening and closing.
The S10's all-purpose base station, compared to the previous W10pro's, uses water more efficiently, and can clean up to 200 square meters of a household at a time; the water tank has built-in silver ion slow-release particles, which are 99.9% efficient at removing bacteria, effectively killing mopping and floor bacteria, and preventing the sewage tank from smelling;
The most important difference is the automatic dust collection. The biggest difference is the automatic dust collection - antibacterial dust channel, 3L dust collection bag can be cleaned twice a day frequency can be 60 days without dumping garbage; built-in intelligent automatic filling cleaning fluid is also very convenient. In the future, in case there is no I feel I can also mix the cleaning fluid, built-in cleaning fluid according to the number of times each sweeping is very accurate, can be done in January for a change; really do the full intelligence.
The base station is still designed to be detachable and washable, compared to the same specification of the fixed base of the Corvette, the daily cleanup is more convenient, in the actual test sweeper completed a few global sweeping, you can see that the sewage residue can be basically ignored.
Chase foraging as has been supporting Mijia support sweeping robot supplier, especially for me this chase for the old user, for chase for their own APP, I have not been how to use, or accustomed to use Mijia, but also can try.
Thanks to the Mijia App habit of use, the chase for the APP Dreamhome machine networking way and everyone is familiar with the Mijia APP is exactly the same, step by step operation can be . There is no need to adapt to new habits.
After entering the main interface of the machine, the icon and setting logic is also identical to the Mijia APP, and it is basically not difficult to get started. However, compared to the new "3D map" function, after clicking on it, it is really more stereoscopic and intuitive to look at the house model, especially when you can show the entire room in three dimensions, which is a novel and fun feature.
For the S10 AI barrier recognition function, after using the sweeper can scan the surrounding objects and identify them, you can in the Mijia APP and the pursuit of the APP inside the "AI intelligent identification" switch. The current APP can only display a rough icon of the object.
As for whether to choose the Mijia APP or the Chase APP, it depends on your own habits, if Mijia connects to Xiaoyi classmates more convenient, and you want to experience new features, you can try the Chase's Dreamhome, or if you don't have a Mijia device in your home, you can consider using the DreamHome APP.
After the flagships, there are still flagships, and there is no more flagships outside of the S10. Is there anything beyond the S10 that we users want more?
S10 series configuration is indeed a very all-round design, whether it is hardware or software can be a reliable choice for users, and now the market surface of several brands have similar products, as for who to choose, you can look at this table above. At a glance.
If you feel that the recommended models are slightly higher in price, you can also consider synchronizing the Mijia's all-purpose model sweeper, which is considered a vest model of the S10 series, in addition to not with automatic water up and down and a slightly lower suction, there is not much to be nitpicked.
When it comes to the core obstacle avoidance performance of the sweeping robot, the chase for the mainstream obstacle avoidance design, just the future will have more cash obstacle avoidance combination, need time to verify, at this stage, the structured light + AI vision camera combination, its obstacle avoidance performance is the first echelon level of similar competitors at the moment;
Liftable rotating mop although the early design of the stone, but also a very practical design. However, it is also a very practical design, for students who have carpets at home need to bar consideration, and at the same time for the floor to drag after the re-contamination can be effectively circumvented.
For the video function, the pursuit of S10 clarity and wide-angle lens viewing angle range is good, this function to use there is a certain degree of playability, but also depends on the needs of individuals, I use their own sweeper basically will not go to open the sweeper to reconnaissance indoor situation. In case the hacker operation is not fun, but now the video function has become the main configuration of many sweepers, as for this function just need not just need, is the benevolence of the wisdom of the people.
Automatic water suitable for home kitchen room or bathroom is relatively large, but also convenient to install the place, my home that small kitchen is not the opportunity to try the function of automatic water, so now basically various manufacturers of water components are optional, need to spend money to install, do not need to be able to spend this money.
How to choose between S10 and S10Pro? I recommend the S10 Pro Surely you don't have an immediate need for fast charging and battery?
How to choose between the S10 and S10 Pro, not bad choose S10 PRO, high-capacity battery and support for fast charging, while 5 years of consumables right to use, but also can once and for all to solve the subsequent use of the cost of the problem. However, for my kind of home area of only 90M user group, how to look at it is S10 lovely. In fact, to be fair, the S10 PRO relative to the S10 performance improvement is not obvious.
Chasing the difference between the S10 and S10 Pro, the official comparison table has been listed very clearly, the difference between the two prices of 1200 yuan, the function is exactly the same, the main difference is, the battery capacity is different and whether there is a fast charging; whether there is a 5-year accessory interests.
Let's take a look at what's included in the five-year accessory package: 10 accessory packages officially priced at $410 each, worth a total of $4,100. At that retail price, the S10 PRO is a good deal.
Battery, if the area of the home is less than 200M, then in fact in the use of the S10 and S10 PRO is not much difference. The fast-charging feature is a painless upgrade for cleaning twice a day, not to mention that I'd choose the S10.
