MACH represents a major breakthrough for the eufy brand," said Steven Yang, CEO of Anker Innovations. Most smart home devices work in conjunction with an app, which should, for the most part, make it easier to access and personalize settings as well as go hands-free when turning features on and off.

However, my six-year-old daughter and 69-year-old father were both able to push the Mach V1 Ultra around without too much trouble. Even with the mop and steam functions, chances are you’ll still need to reach for another vacuum to do a proper clean of your space. The extra added steam cleaning power made it easier to get my floors cleaner quicker, and the self-cleaning feature meant I didn’t have to do anything after I was done cleaning except place it on its base and press a single button. In fact I feel faintly embarrassed that I’m eulogising over a floor cleaner, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more stylish looking model.Even better, the screen shows you the current cleanliness status of your floor via a colored light bar: red indicates the floor is dirty, blue that it’s clean, and a mix of both colors means it’s somewhere in the middle.

On Auto-Mode the V1 Ultra detects when the Cordless SteamWave Technology is needed and prepares the steam within 20 seconds. Putting the Eufy Mach V1 Ultra into its steam mode, I found that it effortlessly picked up this kind of mess, clearing away the stains quickly. PRNewswire/ -- eufy, Anker Innovation's smart appliance brand, today announced the launch of MACH, its new premium cleaning brand.I’ve reviewed countless stick vacs, vac-mops and steam cleaners but I’ve never used anything quite like the MACH V1 Ultra, which fits all three cleaning specialities into one very stylish looking unit. The SteamWave™ technology works by first dissolving the stain and then vacuuming and mopping the surface. This is because all detritus ends up in a simple catch filter at the top of the water tank and it’s so moist and sticky you can’t just empty it like a normal stick vac in the bin – you need to use your fingers or rinse the top filter section under a tap which means most of the hair goes down the sink.

it is the heaviest vacuum we have reviewed, at over double the weight of the Samsung Bespoke Jet and the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. While the vacuum/mop/steam mop itself is an innovation, it isn’t as flawless as it may seem in a well-curated 60-second video - but as the first of its kind, that is entirely to be expected.A muffled, unintelligible voice prompt let’s you know which feature has been selected, but you can thankfully turn it off. On the plus side, this do-it-all machine really does excel at vacuuming hard floors, from treated wood and polished concrete to vinyl and tiles. With its three compartments and a filter, the V1 Ultra requires more attention than your typical vacuum after using it.
