Design and Features
Before I received ILIFE’s EASINE W100 Wet Dry Vacuum, I had never owned a device that could pick up wet splashes from the floor. Given that I only have 2 uncarpeted rooms in my house, I haven’t considered anything other than a traditional broom and mop for regular cleaning. So I’d love to see how a cordless wet vac affects my normal cleaning cycle, which is no doubt slack.
The overall look of the W100 is sleek and modern, with a shiny black and clear plastic body and bronze accents. At just 14 pounds (probably 15 when the tank is full), it’s pretty light for a vacuum, and isn’t actually much heavier than a water-soaked traditional mop. The fact that the ILIFE is able to reduce weight and keep the run time at 30 minutes is impressive.
There are two buttons on the top of the handle, one to turn the device on and off, and one to toggle between high mode and normal mode. I usually use high mode since none of my floors are that big and might as well get the most out of my time.
I like the LCD display on the W100, it keeps track of how many minutes you’ve used, shows battery life, shows whether you’re running in high or normal mode, and also shows if the fuel tank is full or dirty.
The only problem is, when using the device, it’s really the only time you care Regarding these statistics, the whole display is upside down. I can understand that looking at the front of the vacuum cleaner from the front and seeing this information is more aesthetically pleasing, but in actual use standing behind the vacuum cleaner with all the relevant information flipped and looking a bit annoying.
To better understand how the W100 performed throughout the review period, I reached for it every time I encountered a scene where I usually use a broom, mop, or even a tissue.These are what I consider “normal use” cases, not extreme What you’ll see in ads, like sucking up a whole 12-ounce bowl of cold cereal.
dry vacuuming
The W100 is quicker and easier to use than a broom and dustpan when you need to sweep up hard surface areas quickly, hands down. Usually when sweeping, I get these floating dust and hairs that stick to the bristles of the broom or blow off the broom. With the W100, it picked up most of the loose debris, which is really great. I have to say this is the most useful aspect of the vacuum.
I have a very low carpet area next to the kitchen and it can get really messy due to the litter box in that area. Just have two cats. But the W100 can actually suck up litter, dust and cat hair. The roller itself is mostly a soft microfiber surface with dozens or so of bristle tufts that help pull some of the larger bits on the floor.
I’ve noticed that the W100’s plastic case tends to attract hair and dust due to static electricity, so it needs to be wiped regularly. In fact, cleaning dust, litter, and cat hair from hard carpeted areas can cause a considerable buildup in the area after the HEPA filter and before the “dirty tank.” I think this is less of a design flaw than a poor use case for the device.
But if you think about it, if I only had hard floors in my house, there would be Ton Hair, dust and debris are just floating on the surface, and a long dry vacuuming process with the W100 ends up being about the same…
So I’m a little disappointed with the W100’s use as a strictly dry vacuum. On the one hand, it’s better than using a broom and dustpan, but I’ve never been exposed to dust and dirt as often as I have with this device. The vacuum cleaner cleans the floor, I clean the vacuum cleaner, so who is the real hero?
wet vacuuming
I didn’t actually get a chance to clean up any big messes, like the whole coffee mug stuff, and honestly, I wasn’t in the mood to intentionally turn a bowl of soup upside down to see if I could suck it in the W100.I do use it for the occasional overflow, and, don’t you know, it works great for something like this. if You really want to take a vacuum instead of simply grab a paper towel and wipe it clean.
Again, I am divided on this idea.
Personally, we don’t have a lot of floor spills in our place. As well as the time and effort it takes to get a vacuum, run it to suck out the mess, double clean the floor with some cleaning solution in a wet container, then run a self-clean, disassemble the dirty tank, pour the dirty into the sink to rinse it out, and finally take the brush Come out and set it aside to dry…comparable to simply grabbing a paper towel, wiping it clean and throwing it away.
For a lot of leaks, there doesn’t seem to be a clear definition of what the W100 can handle and what you don’t even want to try. Milk and cereal? Maybe. I don’t want to clean the dirty tank after that. I don’t have a garbage disposal in my sink, so the thought of dumping a whole bowl of cereal down the sink and mashing soggy fruit rings down the drain seems really gross.
Furthermore, having any Even after a good self-cleaning cycle, a lot of milk on a microfiber roller can seem repulsive after a few days.
And how about something more viscous, like a cup of chili or a bisque? Is that something you can smoke? Again, considering cleaning the inside of the vacuum after that seems like a lot more work than working on a mess on the floor.
Wet mopping
If you’re considering replacing your traditional mop with the W100, this is the use case that seems to make the most sense. ILIFE includes a vial of concentrated cleaning solution to mix with the water in the cleaning tank. A large trigger under your index finger controls the spray of clean water while the unit is running, allowing you to spot clean, dirty areas on the floor.
This trigger is a little too big in my opinion and can easily be pressed by mistake.It is not bad, especially if you normally use the W100 on hard surfaces, but keep that in mind if you’re trying to do a quick dry vacuum run. Any amount of accidental dampness can cover the roller, spread it on the floor, and mix with dust and hair, forming damp clumps inside the dirty tank.
But, forget that for a moment. In the battle between traditional mops and buckets versus the W100, I have to say that the W100 wins. The trigger causes a fine mist to spray onto the floor, and the fast-spinning microfiber roller wipes away goo, grime and wear marks. It works at least as well as a regular mop and doesn’t wet the floor, reducing drying time.
As long as your floors are relatively free of visible debris before mopping, the mess created in a dirty tank can easily dump down the drain and be flushed away.
Self-cleaning mode
The W100’s charging station includes a fast self-cleaning mode. Just press a button on the unit to set the timer to 60 seconds, at which point the water from the cleaning tank will saturate the drum and suck up the resulting mess. After this, you still need to remove and rinse the dirty tank, and remove the wet roller. There is a convenient stand to place the tumbler for drying.
Trust me, you must remove the rollers to avoid mold growing inside. I neglected to do this at first, oh the smell…that pungent old sponge smell. That’s why I’m reluctant to clean anything that might fester deep in the cloth roller.
what do I like
- wireless and lightweight
- Filters and brushes are 100% cleanable and reusable
- Self-cleaning mode is good
- It actually does work on some low-height rugs
Areas for improvement
- Quite expensive!
- Brushes for better contact with the floor
- Hair/crumbs can easily get caught in the filter
- Lots of cleaning equipment itself
final thoughts
Through many of my tests, the W100 performed well, but overall I wouldn’t say the W100 would be necessary Replace the mop or broom, especially at the asking price.
In addition to cost, W100 Do Preparing for mopping a lot of Faster, and increases the likelihood that I’ll be mopping the kitchen and bathroom more regularly.I have to say, the value really shines if you happen to have Hardwood floors only In your house, you want to vacuum and broom with the W100.
I just hate having to clean a mess with a device itself Almost as much time to clean up as a mess without it. Using the W100 is faster, but I no longer need to post-clean my regular carpet vacuum or broom.
