  • M1 preserves the straightforward manual operation of traditional scrubbers while introducing autonomous cleaning to drastically reduce labor costs. What's more, the proprietary water absorption technology empowers scrubbing operations in wet environments without requiring water spraying, eliminating the risk of secondary moisture accumulation.
  • Ideal for commercial indoor scenarios such as office buildings, universities, hospitals, shopping centers, factories, and subway stations.
  • Compatible with:
    • Delicate floors: such as marble.
    • Rough floors: litchi-textured floors, rough stone floors, concrete floors, etc.
    • Regular floors: tiles, terrazzo, artificial stone, wood-grain bricks, plastic floors, epoxy resin, etc.
  • Both dry debris and wet debris can be cleaned:
    • Dry debris: paper balls, cigarette butts, melon seeds, toothpicks, etc.
    • Wet debris: sewage, footprints, beverage stains, food soup, and other wet garbage, etc.
  • Dry mopping: 8 hours / Scrubbing: 3.5 hours
  • Beyond matching the powerful suction of conventional vacuums, K1 VAC integrates sweeping and dust mopping in a single unit – with significantly quieter operation.
  • Ideal for hotels, office buildings, retail stores, cinemas, clubs, and churches. Cleaning coverage includes lobbies and pathways in public areas.
  • Compatible with:
    • Short/Long-pile carpets
    • Hard surfaces (marble, tiles, etc.)
  • Only clean dry debris:
    • Dust & paper scraps
    • Small solids: cigarette butts, toothpicks
    • Nutshells: sunflower seeds, peanuts, pistachios
  • Dry mopping: 8 hours / Vacuuming: 4 hours
  • K1 VAC (compact) specializes in carpet cleaning with vacuum-sweep-mop functions. M1 (larger) focuses on hard-floor scrubbing with scrub-sweep-mop capabilities.
  • Mainly including:
