@@JeremyTryit2 it could be but he isn't going to get that at $155 which was his point. with it being closer to that starting point he might give it a try
@@markburton5292 That's basically my point. The convenience is very nice, but ultimately it can't do anything much cheaper solutions couldn't do just as well. I've had my cheap vacuum for 4 years now and it still works just fine, it even uses a HEPA filter.
The steam generator is already full of either corrosion or mineral buildup. If you don't use distilled/demineralized water it's going to plug up instantly, and I see no way to clean it other than total disassembly. I don't think there is a self clean for that. It should've been somewhat accessible from the outside. That together with the voice synthesizer/recording sounding like cheapest chinese bluetooth speakers are the two main drawbacks. Oh, and the biggest, third one, is the unreplaceable battery. At least not for someone skilled enough.
@@heyholetsg0 No typical scale off an aluminium alloy heater. Only issue is that using pure water will cause the heater to corrode fast as well. No real way to get around that, as aluminium id always going to corrode when in contact with water and heat. You would have to make it out of another more inert metal to get better results, but this makes it more expensive to make, on an already expensive unit. That heater block is best regarded as a throw away unit, as it will leak after around 2 years of use, and shorter if used infrequently, or with hard water. Ideally should be made from some better more corrosion resistant alloy, but none are easy to cast, and especially to cast with the ceramic heater element inside it as well. You do not want to see what the inside of a cheap water cooler looks like after a year, the sludge build up is rather gross, and the fins are normally rotting away.
This is definitely something you will want to use distilled water in to greatly reduce/eliminate buildup in the steamer coil. It will lose its effectiveness and potentially cause the coil to overheat if not kept clean. You may want to look into getting a water distiller if you don't want to keep buying jugs of it from the store. To speak from personal experience: I found it much nicer for me to distill my own water for my two hot steam humidifiers this past winter. Went from cleaning the heating elements weekly to going the entire Minnesota winter with nearly no buildup at all. Before using distilled water, the elements would overheat and shut down the humidifier before it used all the water in the tank due to buildup. Now I only have to deal with (my much easier to clean) distiller. Tip: Use a timer with your distiller that is appropriately rated for its wattage and set it to shut off about 45 mins to an hour before it runs dry. Wait at least an hour for it to cool, and the left-over water can help make it slightly easier to clean.
Yes. Definitely would use distilled water. I just see so many easy points of possible failure. This may be a nice cleaner for a short amount of time, but wouldn't expect it to last long. Small water pumps are horrible to deal with. Specially inside electronic devices. My first thought, "Do I really need this? No. Could I get better, and long-lasting cleaning solution at the same price? Yes, much better!"
At 2:15 the arrows are pointing in the wrong direction, if I'm not mistaken. The input should be the one on the left, as the tesla-valve part would block flow on the left one, in the direction you have indicated.
If you slather all the PCBs in conformal coating, it will make repairs more difficult. Instead of simply resoldering a part, you have to remove the coating as well. Granted, a coating will prevent some external damage from happening in the first place, but it doesn't prevent component failures in general.
clever stuff, lots of plastic though which will definately break after a few months of use with zero possibility of getting spares to replace broken pieces. Repairability is usually something you are keen on, you may want to add this to your commentary, i know its not in line with what the sponsor wants but there is your integrity to consider too.
Curious as to why you think just because it's plastic it's going to break? Ya know if you're careful with your investments and take care of them properly they tend to last a lot longer lol.
I would be concerned with buildup in those valves which we already saw some in the steam block. People with heavy mineral deposits in their water will likely clog this up quickly.
Battery will wear down over time , along with the squeegee. I assume they aren’t going to tell you to fill the steamer reservoir with distilled water so you can just fill it with tap and ruin it over time so you have to replace it. I wanna keep thinking but that should be enough to never buy this dumb ass product

Do you have any thoughts on that? I'm sure also they've learned from the "mistakes" of the likes of Epson, HP, Brother, Lexmark, etc. and built-in "consumer protection" features to ensure we can't use off the shelf cleaning products we can find at our local stores too, right?

Use a magic eraser that is slightly damp. Just don't scrub too hard or you'll remove the paint from the walls and need to touch it up later. Works well for any marks on the walls.
1:47 All those washers and springs go all springin-sprongin, this will lead to some tactical weight reduction upon reassembly. To the wife, this is why it doesn't roll right and makes noises; it's all part of the plan.
That steam generating body looks like its made out of aluminum, it is already collecting minerals and has some corrosion crystals forming. I bet that thing wont last for a long period and will cause issues in the long run Maybe if they make it out of stainless steel, they can further slow down the corrosion
i like to watch these video of new products (unknown to me) and figure out the price, this time i've nailed it to the dollar, teardowns does not make it look overpriced at all.
A cloth and a bowl of warm soapy water will achieve the same result. This cleaning system can be purchased for about 5 bucks. It is also very reliable.
the tesla valve flow chart is in the wrong direction. the yellow would be the outflow with the green being the water inflow. The entire point of the valve is when it goes in the wrong direction the water sprays back at itself. No one explained this to their marketing team apparently.
My concern with the steam is that it loosens the glue holding the tiles to the floor! Right now, if I need to replace a tile, I just heat it with a hair dryer. Remove the bad tile a place a new one in its place.
On my second one. CS is horrific. Now I have a expensive paper weight. Going old skool, I'll have my clothes and dishwasher wash the floors going forward.
I'm coming from the recent LTT video, just wanted to say I made the background you're using, when I saw it pop up in the video it brought the biggest smile to my face! Honored you're using it
i like that you are wearing the vintage casio watch. That particular model was owned by the most of my generation during childhood, as it was affordable and widely available.
I have it and I love it. Battery life leaves something to be desired though. On steam it lasts barely 15 minutes if you are lucky. BUT overall a really mazing product as it cleans great, and it self cleans itself properly.
it's not really a big deal, most of the time it's a lacquer like substance which you can easily dissolve, and then you can use all the acids to recover gold and other metals. SMD components you can desolder with heat. People recycle them for profit all the time
5:25 - That's low-power Wifi and Bluetooth module. 2 Year warranty is very little for a household device like that... I hope they have plenty of parts available for easy acquisition by repair shops
So thy are using a Tesla valve backwards to mix the soap? Or was your animation backwards? Fluid normally flows the other way through a Tesla valve. EDIT: I see their website has that flow direction as well, seems more of a gimmick than some revolutionary way to inject / mix two fluids.
I would be shocked if it's not recommended in the owner's manual to use distilled or ro/di water (0TDS). Anything that evaporates water whether using a nebulizer (ultrasonic) or heating past boiling should ALWAYS be using purest water possible or the risk of scale build up and failure is very much a reality.
@@cpufrost The "ozone generator" is really a water electrolyzer that hopes to generate bleach from chloride, so it will be utterly useless with pure water.
Very impressed with the vacuum cleaner. For those who can afford it, seems it does as advertised and looks reasonably well made. The way my mind and budget works, I'd rather have a regular vacuum cleaner, a steamer and a bucket and mop because if one breaks down, it doesn't mean replacing or getting the whole package repaired. They would take up more space, though! Impressive product.
2:49 While it’s true you can destroy bacteria with steam, it’s not instantaneous: It takes _at least_ 30-60 seconds of exposure to work, with less time required as the temperature goes up and more time if the surface is porous (e.g., untreated wood vs glass).
Were you using tap water? Looks like there’s already mineral buildup in the steamer. You should use distilled or you’ll be taking it apart again in a few months to try and CLR it out
That moment when you realize that you either jerryrigeverything or get to sleep in the couch for a few nights for breaking the vacuum/mop 😂🤣 Good luck there bud
Looks like it was designed by an engineer. I was looking at it and its hard to have any problems with it outside design/styling, which is of course personal preference. I'm almost sure many of these parts are pretty standard, everything nicely laid out, cooling of batteries accounted etc.
I use a version of ozone sterilization for my aquariums, looks very similar to this unit. Really neat tech that destroys all sorts of algae and bad bacteria

Edit2: Replaced "wrong" with "opposing the tesla valve" for better clarity and to fix unintended interpretation.
yep. Classic Zack video where he didn't check the science. Which makes it very hard to trust what he says in general. EDIT: I think the tesla valve has a different reason to be there. Not to stop backflow like Zack said but to stop the tank from emptying itself. Meaning the pump forces the liquid through the restrictive part of the tesla valve but with the pump off, the water won't flow on its own.
@@_aullik After thinking about the design requirements. I came to the conclusion in my edit, that the valve's purpose must be to mix/stirr the two flows together. Hence why the direction of flow is opposite the direction of low impedance.
@@baksban74 I think you misunderstood something. There is a "cleaning solution" in the handle that gets mixed with the water. The self cleaning just runs the system and sucks the water back in.
Their website seems to imply the purpose of the valve is for mixing only, and he used their animation in the video. They must be using the valve backwards for turbulent mixing of the fluids.
Dont expect anything less from Anker. FYI They own Eufy. Anker will also make this cheaper over time or will open it to other companies which they do with some of their products.
Pretty cool little gadget! Probably not going to replace my full sized machines, but if you live in a small space where storage space is at a premium. I can certainly see the market for this.
Hmm, can someone explain to me what exactly the tesla valve is there for? Usually, the loops would be the other way around considering the same direction of flow in the animation and in this orientation, it doesn’t seem to be doing anything other than causing turbulence to the water flow. Would love to know more about this design.
Lol true! I was wondering the same thing. It's basically opposing the combined flow for no reason! Either a marketing gimmick or maybe someone messed up animating it.
@@tomclanysI see, thank you. Although I do think that if they just used an inverted Y-splitter it would achieve the same effect. Seems like just a marketing gimmick.
5:25 the blue pcb looks like a wireless communication chip. is there a companion app available for this device? can you still use all features of the device if the manufacturer decides to discontinue the app support?
Interesting, at 2:11 the flow animation through the Tesla valve is in the checked direction. It seems that they're not using it as a check valve but rather as a mixing device.

EDIT: I think the tesla valve has a different reason to be there. Not to stop backflow like Zack said but to stop the tank from emptying itself. Meaning the pump forces the liquid through the restrictive part of the tesla valve but with the pump off, the water won't flow on its own.
Maybe you missed the part about the cleaning solution at the end? I assume it goes in the middle, while water goes on the outside.
@@_aullik After thinking about the design requirements. I came to the conclusion in my edit, that the valve's purpose must be to mix/stirr the two flows together. Hence why the direction of flow is opposite the direction of low impedance.
@@baksban74 I think you misunderstood something. There is a "cleaning solution" in the handle that gets mixed with the water. The self cleaning just runs the system and sucks the water back in.
Their website seems to imply the purpose of the valve is for mixing only, and he used their animation in the video. They must be using the valve backwards for turbulent mixing of the fluids.
Im pretty confident that the steam generator seal is not meant to be resealed.
Dont expect anything less from Anker. FYI They own Eufy. Anker will also make this cheaper over time or will open it to other companies which they do with some of their products.
Why would you buy a new Dyson when this does so much more? It looks pretty advanced on the inside. Nice features and good run time.
Is the tesla valve not facing the wrong way, according to the graphic there?
If you coat a board in the waterproofing stuff it does act like insulation and keep in heat so it'd be cool to see how you'd cool it well
That feeling is when it sucks it is actually good.
That seems like it would be fairly expensive, but I want one. Impressed.
Never saw something awesome stuff like this before, very helpful device in fact life easing.
That displays behind you is soo cool
Give us your desk tour, will love to see what devices you use.
Pretty cool little gadget! Probably not going to replace my full sized machines, but if you live in a small space where storage space is at a premium. I can certainly see the market for this.
Smartphone manufacturers do use a conformal coating it's just not as thick because it can't interfere with the connectors
nice ad, would be cool to openly disclose that
did they use their water lines for battery cooling aswel?
Is it safe for use inside? Ozone generator and all?
If I had to guess, it's the cables around the 5:07 mark. Quite possible you've mixed them up?
That’s quite a bit of lime scale already accumulated in that steamer. May be a good idea to use reverse osmosis water.
Hmm, can someone explain to me what exactly the tesla valve is there for? Usually, the loops would be the other way around considering the same direction of flow in the animation and in this orientation, it doesn’t seem to be doing anything other than causing turbulence to the water flow. Would love to know more about this design.
as he explained it's to help mixing the cleaner with water, but using tesla valve design for that is more of a marketing stunt
Lol true! I was wondering the same thing. It's basically opposing the combined flow for no reason!
Either a marketing gimmick or maybe someone messed up animating it.
@@tomclanysI see, thank you. Although I do think that if they just used an inverted Y-splitter it would achieve the same effect. Seems like just a marketing gimmick.
@@sean0611 Hey, thank you for actually being a nice person on the internet!
Mr Rig's Would love to hear a update what went wrong on reassembly
As a parent of 5 kids ,Who have killed shop vacs, I laugh at this unit,But I'm sure it would be great as Toy for the kids after it breaks.
Protection is always a good thing

5:25 the blue pcb looks like a wireless communication chip. is there a companion app available for this device? can you still use all features of the device if the manufacturer decides to discontinue the app support?
i wanted to buy this product less after watching the video than before 😂
If I'm not mistaken, the animation of the flow in the Tesla valve appears to be flowing in the wrong direction...
Interesting, at 2:11 the flow animation through the Tesla valve is in the checked direction. It seems that they're not using it as a check valve but rather as a mixing device.
Yes, that's kind of the whole point
