Verdict

The Ultenic AC1 is a 4-in-1 cordless wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner and mop designed for hard floors, featuring a 15 KPa suction power motor, a dual-tank system with generous 1-liter clean and dirty water capacities, and a detachable 4,000mAh battery that delivers up to 45 minutes of runtime. Key advantages include an infrared sensor for smart stain detection that automatically optimizes water flow and suction power, dual edge-to-edge cleaning down to 8mm for tight corners, and a multi-functional docking station that charges the unit while initiating a one-touch self-cleaning and air-drying cycle for the roller brush. However, major drawbacks include a relatively heavy build at 11 lbs, a noticeable 76 dB noise output during operation, and rapid battery depletion when forced into its maximum suction boost mode.
