Xiaomi Vacuum Cleaner T10 handheld vacuum cleaner

I'm sure many people are wondering, so is this vacuum cleaner from Xiaomi or from Dreame? Let's go back to 2015 - that's when Dreame Technology was founded, an innovative company with the goal of "improving the lives of users around the world". The company specializes in high-quality cleaning products using aerodynamic technology. At the end of 2017, Dreame joined Xiaomi's ecological chain as its driving force and leading company in smart cleaning products. As a result, Dreame today belongs to the Xiaomi brand and produces its products under both the Xiaomi and Dreame brands.

Xiaomi Vacuum Cleaner T10

It has a classic design, at first glance it is no different from other devices of its kind on the market, this cordless handheld vacuum cleaner from Xiaomi in white and silver colour will perfectly fit into the vast majority of our private living spaces, but that is not everything this vacuum cleaner is good at.

So let's start with some hard data: space 3.0 motor with 400W and a 2500mAh battery and 25.2V voltage, generates 100,000 revolutions per minute which gives us, according to the manufacturer, the suction power up to 120AW and a working time of about 60 minutes in ECO mode (we'll try to test it by additionally using an extension tube and a brush for surfaces such as panels or carpets with short and medium bristles, a set that is used most often), and charging time is 3.5 hours. The vacuum cleaner does not seem heavy, it weighs about 1.6 kg depending on the extension cords and tips used. The size of 1221 mm x 202 mm x 202 mm also does not differ from those that we find on the market. The cyclone method of separation of dust and other dirt and the use of a HEPA filter with a simple way to clean the container makes emptying it very convenient. The manufacturers made sure that not only the cyclone and HEPA filters can be removed from the main nozzle, but also that the entire container can be easily detached from the main station.

Another advantage of this vacuum cleaner is the battery, which is not permanently attached and can be easily removed and replaced, as well as attached to the rack.

With this cordless upright vacuum cleaner we can work in three modes and times specified by the manufacturer (we will check it during the tests)

ECO - the lowest power and suction power, choosing this mode the device will work for no more than 60 minutes
MOD - medium power and suction power, in this mode the device will work for about 30 minutes (due to the increase in suction power working time will be shorter)
TURBO - the highest power and highest mode of this vacuum cleaner, which also translates into time and energy consumption, the battery will allow us unfortunately only up to 10 minutes.

So let's collect and systematize this technical data for better transparency when deciding to buy this vacuum cleaner:


Lithium battery capacity	2500mAh
Rated operating voltage	25.2V~
Rated power	400W
Suction power	120AW
Colour	Silver/white
Charging time	3.5 hours
Noise level	73dB
Dust container capacity	0,6 L
Hepa filter	Yes
Washing function	No
Operation mode / time	ECO - 60 min Mod - 30 min Turbo - 10 min

The manufacturer has protected the equipment very well in the packaging. In separate cardboard boxes you will find each component of the device packed individually, along with the user manual and information/safety card.

With a system of easy disassembly, which also means easy cleaning, the disassembled roller can even be washed under running water (just remember to dry it well before re-attaching to the brush mechanism, the manufacturer recommends drying for at least 24 hours)

All these elements compose a sizeable set which will be useful in every house, apartment and office.

Thanks to the elements that can be dismantled, we can use rollers, cyclone and HEPA filters and the water container during cleaning. All these elements can be washed under running water only after removing them from the brushes, the main nozzle and the container. After washing, remember to dry them thoroughly for no less than 24 hours and not with too much heat (it is best to pre-dry with a cloth and leave them at room temperature until completely dry).

Elements of the vacuum cleaner are connected with each other in a very easy way on the so-called "click" that is, we take the inserting tip and connect it with the main nozzle until you hear a characteristic click.

What should we pay attention to before using the device for the first time?

The first rule is to read the manual included in the kit and familiarize yourself with it to the extent that the use of the vacuum cleaner does not pose a danger.
The second cardinal rule is to charge the battery to 100%.
Third, use each tip as intended.
And fourthly, we keep away from wet surfaces, spills of hazardous liquids such as flammable ones or dangerous chemicals, glass and large items that can block the nozzle or pipe. The vacuum cleaner is switched on with a button on the handle and thanks to a button marked with a padlock, we can lock in the eco mode, mod or turbo. The vacuum cleaner does not have a touch screen or an LCD display, so any changes are made manually.

During the next charging, remember to let the battery cool down for about 30 minutes after work and only then connect the device to the charger. Also, under no circumstances should you use the vacuum cleaner while it is charging.

Tests of Xiaomi Vacuum Cleaner T10

In order to achieve a reasonably reliable test, we set up a test area in exactly the same place as for other cordless handheld vacuum cleaners, choosing the most common type of surface: wood flooring.

We will apply 50 grams of ground coffee powder to the test field; this will be the first test for the vacuum cleaner. Then try to vacuum everything that is scattered.

From a spill of 50 grams, the vacuum collected 47.12 grams. It should be added that the brush used and dedicated to flat surfaces only collects dirt in one direction forward, so we must remember to return to the back in the same line on which we moved forward, otherwise we will rake up the dirt on the way back or simply lift the vacuum cleaner up.

Test number two, here we put 20 grams of flour in the test field to see how the device will cope with such a granularity of dust which imitates everyday dust very well.

The vacuum cleaner collected 18.62 grams of flour from the 20 grams spilled.

Cleaning the individual elements was not a big problem, except for the gasket in the closing lid, but since it is not permanently attached, it could also be pulled out and cleaned without damaging the closing lid. It is divided into two parts and dirt that gets there is very difficult to remove.

The vacuum cleaner, despite the suction power of 120AW and real working times in individual modes differing from the manufacturer's claims, the equipment behaved much better than many other similar devices with almost identical parameters. I can safely recommend it to anyone with furry animals at home.

The charging process also does not deviate from the standard that we can find in the description. The test of the amount of energy needed to fully charge a completely discharged battery is as follows:

An additional test that we also carried out on this type of vacuum cleaner was accurate (with a stopwatch) to measure the working time that the manufacturer provides for each mode.
The times for each mode were as follows each time the vacuum cleaner additionally had an extension tube with a brush for wooden flooring, which has an additional drive mechanism: (we tested with a stopwatch). They differed in the basic eco mode significantly from the manufacturer's claims.

ECO mode actual time 39 min - manufacturer's time 60 min
Med mode actual time is almost 30 min - manufacturer time 30 min
Turbo mode actual time is almost 8.5 min - manufacturer time 10 min

Summary

In conclusion, the Xiaomi Vacuum Cleaner T10 did a very good job of removing dirt of various weights from the flooring. Taking into account the parameters, it should fully perform on a daily basis in small and medium-sized apartments.

Pros:

ease of fitting the individual tips
convenient to use
easy cleaning of the container
0.6L container
modern design

Actually hard to find, but if we were fussy:

A really good vacuum cleaner and worth recommending will work on many surfaces and places with different dirt.
