On March 22, Stone Technology updated the G series self-cleaning sweeping and dragging robot and launched a new G10S series self-cleaning sweeping robot.
As a sweeping robot that can "self-clean", the previous generation of G10 has received the attention of many consumers after its launch. The innovative "flat mop self-cleaning" also provides a new self-cleaning solution for the sweeping robot category.
Now, this stone self-cleaning sweeping robot G10S with a seven-in-one function "high-energy" base station has also come to the China National Grid Evaluation Center, and the following author will take you together to see what kind of different cleaning experience it will bring us.
"Quick Release" charging base station family color matching design
Stone self-cleaning sweeping robot G10S inherits the design language of the previous generation of G10 in appearance, the top and side are bright and white, simple and clean, and the overall appearance continues the simple style of the stone sweeping robot family.
The bottom and side of the 3D two-line structured light sensor uses black color matching, the whole machine black and white collocation, giving people a simple and atmospheric visual effect.
There are still three major buttons above the fuselage, and the child lock function is not absent, which is intuitive and clear. If you have a baby or a pet at home, you don't have to worry about the accidental touch.
There is still a small roller under the lower upper cover groove. The biggest change in the front compared to the previous generation is the addition of two new crystal texture designs in the grooves and above the keys.
The bottom is still a classic three-stage design, and the hole of the ultrasonic carpet recognition sensor next to the steering wheel, the main brush of TPU material in the middle part, and the mop bracket with a dual-zone design below are completely preserved.
The charging contacts are moved from the bottom to the sides of the front of the fuselage, using a recessed design that reduces the defacement of the charging contacts to some extent.
Due to the improvement of function, the self-cleaning charging base of this time has a great improvement in form in addition to continuing the color matching logic of the previous generation, which intuitively looks like a "charged base station" feeling in science fiction.
From left to right, the top is: sewage bucket, clear water tank with silver ion bacteriostatic module and automatic dust collection bucket, which can be quickly removed and placed. It can enable G10S to perform cleaning work to achieve automatic dust collection, water collection, water replenishment and other functions.
In addition, there are automatic drying accessories and automatic water supply and drainage two modules can be selected separately.
Continue to sweep the hard power and improve the ability to avoid obstacles
Before starting cleaning, you need to bind the product to the Mijia or Stone app. In order to experience all the functions for the first time, the author chose the stone App to link here. Once the binding is complete, all operations can be performed on the app without bending down and using physical keys.
In order to test the actual cleaning effect, the author has made some arrangements for the test environment in advance:
1. The floor house with seams on the ground is selected, and there is dust in the gaps
2. Pour the soy sauce juice at the ground part and scatter the melon seed skin randomly on the ground
3. Roll up a pair of white gloves and put them on the ground to simulate the situation of clothing such as socks and gloves
4. Set the hair in a specific area
5. Plug in the charging cable at the socket position to simulate the situation that the charger in the daily home has been plugged into the socket
6. The author randomly walks in the house to simulate the daily situation of people at home
After making the above arrangements, the author began to start the stone self-cleaning sweeping robot G10S for cleaning testing.
Judging from the actual cleaning results, the G10S still continues the excellent performance of the stone sweeping robot, and the melon seeds preset by the author and the original dust on the ground are cleaned. Thanks to the maximum suction of the main brush +5100Pa, when cleaning the hair, there is no case where the main brush is entangled, most of the hair is sucked into the dust box, and only a small amount is in the detachable storage bin on both sides of the main brush.
In terms of mopping, G10S inherits the structural design of the previous generation of fully automatic liftable mop plate + acoustic vibration wiping module and further enhances it, through the floating module design of independent suspension of four connecting rods, so that G10S can be more smoothly attached to the ground during the mopping process, enhancing reliability and improving the wiping effect.
The actual experience is very good, the soy sauce sauce on the floor is quickly cleaned up, and the vibration mop area can also see more obvious traces intuitively.
Thanks to the automatic water replenishment function of the charging base station and the built-in constant voltage electronic control water tank, the stone G10S can ensure continuous wetness for uniform water replenishment of the mop, and can also automatically match the corresponding mop humidity according to the floor of different rooms. The water control is more precise, and even the bottom plate surface does not have to worry about soaking the floor such as uneven water leakage.
When encountering carpet areas, the Stone G10S can be identified by ultrasonic carpet recognition sensors, which in turn raise the mop to avoid staining the carpet. Of course, users can also choose how to let the stone G10S clean when passing through the carpet area according to their own needs.
In terms of obstacle avoidance, the Stone G10S upgraded the AI Obstacle Avoidance 2.0. By invoking multiple sensing of the fuselage, the G10S can perceive the information of the home environment in real time and quickly make feedback. When an obstacle is detected, the G10S can identify the corresponding obstacle information and directly present it on the App, even at night or in other indoor dim light situations, the G10S can also fill the light through the infrared light of the fuselage, and achieve accurate obstacle avoidance under the blessing of millimeter-level 3D structured light ranging.
Judging from the actual test results, for the preset knitted gloves and plug boards, the G10S can be bypassed in time, and there is no involvement or dragging during the evaluation process. Facing the indoor foot of the bed and stool legs, the G10S did not have a violent collision, and the overall obstacle avoidance performance was good.
Seven-in-one comprehensive self-cleaning upgrade algorithm intimate experience
Compared with the previous generation, the biggest upgrade point of the stone self-cleaning sweeping robot G10S is the enriched self-cleaning function experience. Thanks to the charging base station with the "seven-in-one" automatic function, the G10S will automatically collect dust and automatic bacteriostatic functions on the basis of the G10's automatic backwashing and dragging, automatic replenishment, and self-cleaning of the base station, and additional optional accessories can be used to achieve automatic drying and automatic water supply and sewing functions.
Set the washing cloth and dust collection mode in the App, G10S can return to the charging base station after cleaning to complete the self-cleaning according to the settings, first carry out mop cleaning, and then perform dust collection and charging standby.
The actual cleaning effect is good, and the mop with ash and dirt can be cleaned.
Not only that, the stone G10S is equipped with a sustained-release silver ion module in the clear water tank, which can continuously release silver ions into the clear water. As the cleaning process progresses, silver ions are continuously transferred to the mop, the ground, and the sewage tank for full-link bacteriostatic.
On the automatic dust collection, thanks to the 27000Pa suction + double fan dust collection design, the dust particles in the fuselage dust box can also be absorbed more thoroughly.
It is worth mentioning that in the actual test, it was found that the G10S made a certain noise reduction design on self-cleaning and automatic dust collection, which reduced the noise situation of the G10S when working to a certain extent.
Now, in addition to regularly dumping sewage buckets, replenishing water and replacing dust bags, daily ground cleaning work can now be done automatically without getting started, if you install a water supply and drainage module, you even only need to change the dust bag regularly to complete all the specific cleaning work that requires actually hands.
In addition to the hard power upgrade, the G10S stone self-cleaning sweeping robot also ushered in a new upgrade of the RR MASON 9.0 algorithm system like the first release of the T8, and the soft power can be improved in all aspects.
In terms of map construction, the RR MASON 9.0 algorithm system brings rapid mapping, Matrix map and 3D map functions to the G10S.
In the previous generation of products, the construction of indoor maps requires the sweeping robot to actually perform the cleaning work, and the drawing time is long, while the rapid mapping function can only build the room map without performing the cleaning task, and the drawing speed can be improved.
In addition, the user side has added a new 3D map display, making the whole process of cleaning more intuitive, and setting up virtual walls, forbidden areas and other operations more convenient.
In terms of cleaning workflows, app also added intelligent hosting functions, users can customize different cleaning modes of independent tasks and save as fixed workflows.
For a series of command operations such as zoning and selection sweeping that are often required, it is now possible to start the execution operation with one click after only one setup is completed in the App.
Summary: Self-cleaning and then step forward without the need for hands
In general, as a new and upgraded self-cleaning sweeping robot, G10S has taken a big step towards the true sense of "self-cleaning without hands", which is a "self-cleaning sweeping flagship" that has evolved in an all-round way on the basis of continuing the quality of all aspects of the previous generation of products.
Focusing on solving the pain points of home ground cleaning and the pain points of the use of sweeping robots in the past, a complete set of cleaning experience closed loops is created through the "combination fist" of base station ability + sweeping ability + intelligent.
For consumers, a series of ex-ante and after-the-fact work such as dust dumping boxes, changing and washing mop cloths, and filling the fuselage with its own water tank in the past do not have to be carried out again. Users only need to use their fingers in the app to perform cleaning, or set up automatic execution in advance, and they can complete the home floor cleaning work that used to be carried out day after day. Not only does it free up the user's hands, but it also saves a lot of time spent on home cleaning.
As one of the few representatives of household consumer-grade automation products, the sweeping robot carries the expectations of consumers for liberation from repetitive and tedious housework. From solving the core cleaning to solving the pain points, we can see through the stone self-cleaning sweeping robot G10S that this expectation in the past has now become a reality, and will become a "cleaning weapon" that really solves problems and brings quality of life to users.
