Hello everyone, I'm Wenwei.
Today brings you an in-depth review of the beautiful dust-free floor scrubber GX5 Pro.
Compared with traditional handheld cleaning products, floor scrubbers are more capable and easier to operate, and some models can also meet sterilization needs by adding detergent/electrolyzed water.
Thanks to these advantages, the category of floor scrubbers has become more and more popular in recent years, and there are more and more brand models on the market.
After the industry is hot, it is inevitable that some people will mix water and fish, which is also the reason why some people praise and complain about floor scrubbers, it is recommended that you buy well-known brand floor scrubber products, and at the same time pay attention to after-sales service policies to avoid problems in subsequent use and no one solves.
Of course, choosing a floor scrubber does not mean that choosing a well-known brand is all right, if you want to have a good experience, you must choose the right model.
Floor scrubber purchase recommendations pay attention to the following points:
1. Appearance design.
The appearance of the floor scrubber depends on personal preference.
Here we should focus on the weight of the product, whether there is a drive assist, which is related to whether it will be tired after a long time;
In addition, whether the joint design of the connection between the head and the fuselage is reasonable, whether it is convenient to clean the coffee table and the ground under the TV cabinet.
2. Cleaning ability.
Need to pay attention to the size of the motor suction power, whether it can be adjusted in multiple gears, whether it can meet the daily cleaning;
Brush head design is particularly important, focusing on whether it is optimized for hair wrapping and whether it can be cleaned with edges.
3. Cleaning convenience.
Floor scrubbers are self-cleaning, but is the brush head easy to clean and what is the cleaning effect?
It is also necessary to pay attention to whether the base station cleaning is convenient.
4. Battery life:
It is necessary to pay attention to the capacity of the water tank, the capacity of the battery, and how much space can be cleaned at one time.
Whether it is convenient to add water to the tank.
Basically, by focusing on the above 4 points, you can choose an excellent floor scrubber product.
Next, through the in-depth evaluation of Midea's dust-free floor scrubber GX5 Pro, we will share with you the purchase of floor scrubbers.
First, Midea's GX5 Pro appearance & ease of operation.
1. Take a family photo first.
Midea's GX5Pro accessories are relatively simple.
● Clean water tank, sewage tank, main unit, charging & self-cleaning base, self-contained roller brush*1, equipped with a cleaning brush.
The color scheme used in the Midea GX5Pro fuselage is black and gray color, which is more versatile although it does not look bright enough.
Buy home do not pick the environment, you do not have to worry that the machine color matching will not match the home environment.
2. Operation design.
The ease of operation of the floor scrubber is very important, whether the touch area is convenient for one-handed operation, and whether it is convenient to switch suction gears during use.
Midea's GX5pro floor scrubber has a very good human-computer interaction design, and the operation button is located at the handle, and the operation can be completed with one hand.
The operation is two buttons, one switch button and one mode switch button.
Mode switching can be switched between automatic/sterilization/quick suction.
The automatic mode is to drag while suction, and the machine will adjust the suction power and water output through the automatic sensing system of dirtiness, so it is normal for the suction power to be large and small when working.
The sterilization mode machine will produce electrolyzed water in real time to meet the user's sterilization and cleaning needs, which is more convenient than adding sterilization solution on the one hand, and has no health risks on the other hand.
The quick suction mode is the maximum suction power, and this mode is set to dry suction without water, which is more suitable for carpets and the like.
Personally, I think that the more concise the mode of the floor scrubber, the better, and it is not easy for users to get started with more operating modes, and many mode users do not use it at all.
Overall, Midea's GX5pro design is excellent in terms of ease of operation.
3. Introduction to joint connection.
Joint connection is a very important purchase index of floor scrubbers, and joint flexibility of floor scrubbers has a direct impact on the use experience.
Midea GX5Pro's joint design is very good, you can put down the fuselage with a light brush, and you can stand upright by gently pushing the fuselage up, which is very convenient to operate.
During the mopping process, the fuselage will enter a pause state when it is upright, and there is no need to turn on and off frequently to do something else during the mopping process.
The joint opening and closing angle is also very good, and most of the areas of our house can be cleaned except under the bed.
The importance of joint flexibility is best demonstrated when cleaning table legs and narrow corners, and it is very easy to operate.
Some users will worry that the floor scrubber is too bulky for women at home to operate for a long time, and there is no need to worry about Midea's GX5Pro.
● First of all, its fuselage has been designed lightweight, and the whole machine is only 3.7kg;
● Secondly, it does not need manpower to push when working, the machine is self-driven, you only need to control the direction.
The fresh water tank, waste water tank and roller brush are very convenient to disassemble and install, and female users can easily complete it themselves.
Second, Midea's GX5 Pro cleaning ability test.
1. Hardware introduction.
Midea's GX5Pro adopts BLDC frequency conversion motor, with a suction power of up to 15000pa, strong suction power, and stronger natural cleaning ability.
Many people may not have a concept of 15000pa, simply put, the suction power of many handheld vacuum cleaners on the market is also in the range of 12000pa-13000pa, and 15000pa is considered to be a strong suction in the field of handheld vacuum cleaners.
Moreover, floor scrubbers do not work entirely on suction.
The floor scrubber mainly fills the roller brush with water through the fresh water tank, cleans the dirt through wet wiping + suction, and the dry and wet dirt are sucked into the sewage tank at the same time during the cleaning process.
In fact, the suction power of today's floor scrubber products can meet the demand, and many users' pain points are mainly concentrated in anti-entanglement here, and the roller brush can only be manually cleaned after winding the hair, and the use experience is very bad.
Midea GX5 Pro has optimized for this pain point, using a flat anti-winding design, and solves the problem of roller brush hair entanglement through the combination of comb teeth + flat double scraper.
In addition, edge cleaning is also a pain point problem, Midea GX5Pro has also optimized for this, its body and roller welt design is very good, you can look at the fit of the roller brush and the wall seam in the work, the performance is very good, the specific cleaning effect will also be tested later.
2. Demonstration of cleaning ability.
The first is solid particulate matter.
Here's a demonstration with cookie crumbs.
The one-time cleaning effect is very good, and we said above that Midea's GX5Pro has a large suction power of 15000pa, which is just verified here.
Then there are liquid contaminants.
Here with egg liquid, old soy sauce to give everyone a demonstration, the cleaning effect is very good.
Note that my operation is dragging back and forth, in fact, the general floor scrubber is not recommended to operate this way, especially when there are many fluid pollutants, such operation will leak everywhere, easy to produce mud phenomenon.
Midea's GX5 Pro performs very well here.
Egg liquid cleaning ↓
Old soy cleaning ↓
Finally, there is the edge cleaning capability.
At present, floor scrubbers are optimized for edge cleaning, but most of them are unilaterally optimized.
Midea GX5 Pro has made a 3D welt design for this, and the sides and front can do a good welt cleaning effect.
In the actual test, the performance is also very good, the cleaning effect of the edge on both sides is very good, and the effect of the front edge is slightly inferior.
3. Sterilization design.
At present, there are two main types of sterilization designs for floor scrubbers: electrolyzed water sterilization and water tank plus sterilization liquid.
Although the sterilization solution is now more labeled for babies and children, but there will be concerns in the hearts of parents, electrolyzed water does not have this problem.
The principle of electrolysis of water is not complicated, the electrolysis of tap water can produce hypochlorous acid, hypochlorous acid for E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and other common bacteria in life has a sterilization effect of 99.99.
Midea GX5Pro uses real-time electrolyzed water, compared with traditional electrolyzed water, the advantage is instant water, real-time point solution, how much to produce the corresponding electrolyzed water volume, which can ensure that the sterilization performance of electrolyzed water is not attenuated.
Third, Midea's GX5 Pro cleaning convenience.
Midea's GX5Pro supports self-cleaning function, which needs to be done by cleaning the base.
Put the main unit into the cleaning base, and the stand-alone handle function key can start self-cleaning.
Water is sprayed three times throughout the cleaning process.
● After the first spray, the machine will detect the dirt and adjust the subsequent cleaning process.
● The second water spray machine officially cleans up the dirt;
● The third spray is similar to rinsing, which is equivalent to rinsing the roller brush after cleaning.
Finally, the roller brush is air-dried, and the cleaning logic of the machine is more reasonable.
Here is a small detail, GX5 pro also made a comb tooth design in the cleaning base, with the body comb teeth + flat scraper, completely solve the trouble of hair entanglement!
Show the comparison before and after the roller brush self-cleaning, the cleaning effect is still very good.
The waste water tank is also very convenient for cleaning.
The filter screen and the machine are separated design, and it can be rinsed directly after removing the filter device.
Fourth, Midea's GX5 Pro battery life.
Battery life is very important for floor scrubbers, and the experience of frequently adding water during use will be poor, and the lack of power during cleaning will also be annoying.
Midea's GX5ProD water tank capacity and battery capacity are relatively large.
Clean water tank 800ml, waste water tank 450ml, battery capacity 2600mAh.
The official propaganda battery life can reach 30 minutes, 200㎡ without hurry.
My house has an area of 110 square meters, the actual area is 92 square meters, and a tank of water in automatic cleaning mode can complete a single cleaning, and the power consumption of six blocks only goes down two blocks.
One tank of water for a large square meter house is definitely not enough, two boxes of water are definitely no problem, and it is still very convenient to replenish water in the middle + clean the sewage tank.
5. Midea GX5 Pro evaluation summary.
The appearance design depends on personal preferences, and I personally think that the color matching of black + silver gray is more versatile;
The operation is very convenient, and the operation can be completed with one hand in use;
The joint connection is very flexible, and the operation is very easy when cleaning the corners;
The cleaning ability is excellent, with a focus on cleaning fluid contaminants without spillage;
The anti-entanglement design is well optimized, and the unique edge brush design greatly improves the cleaning ability of the edge.
The water tank removal and roller cleaning are very convenient, and the use experience is very good.
Overall, I think the GX5Pro is a very good floor scrubber.
If you need a floor scrubber with excellent performance and affordable price, I recommend taking a look at Midea's GX5Pro.
The only drawback of this machine is that there are fewer accessories, at least give the user an extra roller.
