-
The upright standby behavior is called out as convenient: when locked upright it can shut motors off and resume when you tilt back into cleaning.
-
Floors are often described as drying quickly because the machine suctions up excess water, which is especially appreciated on laminate and sealed wood.
-
The base is described as doubling as storage for accessories like the cleaning brush and spare filter/roller, keeping the kit organized.
-
The main appeal is doing vacuuming and mopping together, plus a water-absorption mode for spills; multiple reviews still emphasize it complements rather than replaces a standard vacuum for carpets or upholstery.
-
Cordless operation is a consistent highlight, making it easy to grab for quick daily messes without managing a cord.
-
Most reviewers highlight a generous kit: charging/cleaning dock, cleaning solution, cleaning brush, spare roller, and spare/washable HEPA filter, making it usable out of the box.
-
Overall sentiment is strongly positive for hard-floor homes, with reviewers impressed by how much dirt it collects and how much time it saves, tempered by limits on carpet use, noise, and ongoing upkeep.
-
Liquid pickup is repeatedly praised: milk, dressing, and other spills are absorbed quickly without pushing liquid around, making it useful for kitchens and pet areas.
-
Pet owners repeatedly note it picks up fur, kibble, muddy paw tracks, and occasional pet messes efficiently in a single pass, though some hair can still collect around the roller.
-
Battery life is a recurring strength, with typical sessions fitting within a charge and charge times described around 3-4 hours (though one reviewer experienced faster). Removable-battery charging options are also mentioned.
-
Runtime in smart/default modes is typically described around 45-50 minutes and is often enough to cover a full level of hard floors in one go.
-
Across reviews, suction is described as strong for a wet/dry floor cleaner, with smart sensing audibly ramping up in dirtier, high-traffic areas and pulling surprising amounts of grime from hard floors.
-
One-button self-cleaning is widely liked and can rinse internal lines and the roller, but it does not eliminate all maintenance: the roller may remain damp and tanks/filters still need periodic rinsing.
-
The self-propel drive is widely appreciated for reducing effort, but it can feel forceful and makes backward passes require pulling against the drive.
-
Edge performance is a frequent positive: reviewers note it cleans close to baseboards and corners when you guide the head along the wall, helping with crumbs and pet hair that collect at the perimeter.
-
It handles larger dry debris (cookies, oats, kibble, leaves) well in a couple of passes, though extremely messy food pickups may increase the cleanup work afterward.
-
Handling is generally described as easy to guide thanks to steering and a pivoting head/handle, though the forward pull can surprise new users and the unit may feel cumbersome when lifted.
-
At least one reviewer was happy using it on stairs and landings due to the weight/handling, while others caution that carrying a wet, filled unit can feel heavy.
-
Mopping results on tile, vinyl, laminate, and sealed wood are consistently strong, leaving a clean sheen and handling everyday dirt well; for the deepest clean, some users still prefer an occasional traditional mop.
-
Hard-floor hair pickup is repeatedly strong for pet fur and human hair, especially in kitchens and entryways, though some hair may still cling to the roller until cleaned.
-
Value is generally viewed as strong for the feature set (self-cleaning, long runtime, smart sensing), with several reviews comparing it favorably to pricier alternatives.
-
Build quality impressions are mostly sturdy, with satisfying clicks when attaching parts; however, a few mentions suggest potential minor leaking or fit/docking quirks in some cases.
-
Most users find operation straightforward with simple buttons and automatic modes, but a couple of reviews mention initial confusion and that the app adds complexity without much payoff.
-
Fine dust pickup on hard floors is praised, including flour and light debris, with reviewers noting a visibly cleaner feel after a single pass.
-
Design feedback is mostly positive: a modern, futuristic, sometimes quirky robot-like look with a prominent LCD. One reviewer noted the plain packaging undersells the product visually.
-
The large LCD and voice prompts are praised for showing battery, modes, and tank/roller alerts, but a few icons can be confusing and the voice can be too loud unless muted.

The dirty-water system is described as having a filter/basket that separates solids from wastewater, which helps keep emptying less gross than a typical mop bucket.
-
The dual-tank design (separate clean and dirty tanks) is widely appreciated, with capacities described as sufficient for typical sessions; however, running multiple self-clean cycles can noticeably draw down the clean-water tank.
-
Comparisons to Bissell, Tineco, and even high-end cordless vacuums generally favor the AC1 for hard-floor wet cleaning and runtime, while acknowledging the category tradeoff of no carpet/above-floor coverage.
-
Reviews mention HEPA filtration and an easy-to-remove filter that can be rinsed, but it is another part you will need to keep clean after wet pickups.
-
Reviewers report it can handle tougher floor grime (including tile grout) and concentrated spots, though it is still not a substitute for a true deep scrub with a traditional mop.
-
Smart dirt sensing is a standout, with the machine adjusting suction/water output automatically and reducing the need to constantly change settings; the companion app is often seen as optional and sometimes finicky to connect.
-
Setup is often described as quick with click-in assembly, but manual quality is inconsistent and one video review showed a steeper learning curve for first-time users.
-
Boost/max runtime is commonly cited around 25 minutes, which is adequate for spot-heavy jobs but shorter than smart mode as expected.
-
For small homes, reviewers like that it replaces separate vacuum-and-mop tools, but the dock still needs visible floor space near power.
-
Emptying is easier than dumping a mop bucket, helped by a debris filter, but can still be messy and is best done immediately after each session to avoid odors.
-
Maintenance is manageable but not zero-effort: you will still empty and rinse the dirty tank, occasionally scrub parts, rinse filters, and sometimes remove hair from the roller.
-
The included detergent and dosing guidance are appreciated, but some reviewers recommend sticking to the brand solution and others note it may be difficult to buy replacements in some regions.
-
Packaging is usually protective, but experiences vary: some praise recyclable materials and neat packing while others complain about oversized shipping boxes and some plastic.
-
Sanitizing/sterilization claims (UV light and a sterilization or disinfection mode) are mentioned, but reviews focus more on cleanliness and convenience than on verified sanitation outcomes.

Weight impressions are mixed: some call it lightweight for the category (around 9.5 lb), while others find it heavy when lifting or when the tanks are full.
-
The unit can stand upright (and, in at least one review, stand on its own), but the charging/cleaning base needs a dedicated spot near an outlet and some users found docking alignment a bit fiddly at first.
-
Support signals are limited in the reviews beyond mention of a 1-year warranty; reliability is mostly positive, but there are scattered reports of app issues and occasional dirty-water leaks if left sitting after cleaning.
-
One review notes the app can be used for firmware updates and settings, but overall sentiment is that the core experience does not depend on long-term app features.
