Overview
- Coverage shows a clear product shift where premium vacuum‑mop models now include heated self‑cleaning stations that wash and dry mop pads or rollers.
- CHIP named the Tineco Floor One S7 Max Pro its test winner for combining one‑pass vacuuming and mopping, an 85 °C self‑clean/dry cycle, strong stain removal and long battery life for a roughly €369 deal in tests.
- MOVA launched the V70 Ultra Complete as a flagship with manufacturer specs including 40,000 Pa suction, extendable side brushes and mop heads that reach up to 16 cm, 9 cm obstacle clearance and a station that claims 100 °C wash and 70 °C dry; the model debuted at a €1,249 list price with limited launch discounts and bundles.
- Vendors are advertising maintenance cuts through beutelless cyclone systems and claims of long maintenance intervals but independent long‑term verification of sanitization, durability and energy use is still limited.
- For buyers this trend promises less hand contact with dirty pads and simpler cleaning cycles but shoppers should weigh test results, price tiers and pending independent reviews before paying top prices or relying on manufacturer durability claims.
