If buying a sweeping robot is an interesting experience, the feedback of buying a floor washer is generally regret - regret not buying it earlier.

The floor washer is a semi-automatic enhanced version of broom+mop, which can complete "suction, sweeping, washing and wiping" in one step. Besides cleaning up the ground garbage and mopping, it can deal with the sewage that the vacuum cleaner can't handle, can enter the toilet that the floor sweeper can't help, and can also help in case of stubborn stains in the kitchen. The effect is obvious and decompression.

I will understand why the market of floor washing machine has grown 82 times in two years, becoming the cleaning appliance second only to the sweeping robot, and putting the vacuum cleaner into the dustbin of history.

However, the market of floor washing machines is still too young, and there are many market segments in vacuum. There are few products for small family and rental housing. Now mainstream floor washing machines are designed for large families. They are not only expensive at the beginning, but also heavy and noisy.

And the Bisheng Floor Washer Lite we experience today is a floor washer specially designed for a large number of single white-collar workers, young couples, fitness experts and other users, and is also the first batch of floor washers for small area cleaning market.

Low profile victory and lightweight floor washer market

The model name of Besson Floor Washer Lite is BISSELL CrossWave Lite HF3, code 3598Z, 300x55x1160mm, weight 3.8kg, height of floor brush 5.5cm, maximum noise 65dB, and equipped with Besson's SteinBuffer sewage recovery system.

what? Haven't you heard of the winner? That's normal, because the top brand in the floor washing machine industry is really understated and exaggerated.

BISSELL has a very "grounded" Chinese translation, and its model naming system is probably the most concise among its peers. Most users do not know that BISSELL is an American brand with a history of 146 years. It is one of the earliest carpet cleaning tools manufacturers in North America. It holds the first report card of American floor cleaning tools for four consecutive years (data source: NPD Group's retail sales share tracking data from 2017 to 2020, including full-size vacuum cleaners, non electric carpet cleaners, and professional cleaning appliances).

The rise of the floor washing machine category is also the recent two years. When Besheng made similar products, the name of the floor washing machine had not been invented. And the famous "egg instant noodles" washing machine test is also a must win work.

Besheng's product lines are all home cleaning solutions, such as floor washing machines, cloth washing machines, mites removers, air purifiers, pet cleaning equipment, etc. Besheng has been operating for 146 years, and now there are no fancy product lines and businesses. In addition, Beston has its own pet foundation, which is the only one in the floor washer company. Adopt a pet and clean it yourself. The ecology is closed.

The advantage of the floor washing machine is that it is suitable for local, temporary and high-intensity cleaning scenes (on-site cleaning after parties, even after side stoves, barbecues) in pet homes, multi-storey homes, and spaces with many sundries.

If the floor sweeping robot is aimed at mild cleaning scenarios that users do not want to do at all, the floor washing machine audience is those who really do housework, and their goal is the same as the Olympic Games - faster, higher, stronger. The cleaning speed is faster, the efficiency is higher, and the effect is stronger.

For single white-collar workers and young couples working outside, the core cleaning feature is that the cleaning area is relatively small and there are no large pets. What they need is a light, quiet, worry free and affordable floor washer.

Simple modeling, defining new aesthetics of floor washer

From the appearance design, it can be seen that the difference between the Pitsun Floor Washer Lite and the common floor washer is that the main body of the machine is a circle smaller. The black body+aluminum alloy rod, together with the silver ornament in the middle of the body and on the handle, is low-key and lightweight.

Clean water tank and sewage tank ↑

The handle is the core switch and mode switch button, with power supply and various status lights. There is a self-cleaning button on the top, which faces up when the machine is put back into the base. From all these "simple but unexpected designs with better solutions", we can see that this is a product line that has been iterated many times.

In addition to the charging base, the accessories also include a brush with an integrated telescopic cutter. However, it was found in the later test that the Lisheng floor washer Lite has the hair 0 winding function, and the secant knife actually has little chance to appear.

3.8kg lightweight design, "physical load reduction" for household cleaning

The floor washer is of the structure of fan+electric roller brush+clean water tank+sewage tank+battery, so it is generally overweight, and more than 5kg is the mainstream weight. Note that this is still the empty weight. When half a liter of water is loaded into the clean water tank during operation, the entire scrubber will be 5.5-6kg. Not to mention that female users, male users are all laborious. If you encounter a multi-storey villa again, you don't need to go to the gym.

The design of the Besson Floor Washer Lite focuses on weight reduction. It is the lightest floor washer in the history of Besson - 3.8kg. It has completely reduced the weight of a bottle of household cola, which is a physical "burden reduction" for household cleaning.

In addition to the 3.8kg lightweight fuselage, the roller brush of Bestway's Lite scrubber rolls forward and will generate forward thrust by itself, which can further reduce the resistance of pushing forward. When you go back, the ground is already wet by the roller brush, and the friction force is obviously reduced, and it does not require much force.

In the actual use of the scrubber, it is mainly to overcome the resistance of the support wheel and the inertia of the body. "Light" is just like the ruthless law of "the bottom is bigger than the bottom" in the camera field. The 3.8kg weight reduced and the low center of gravity design make it much easier to drag and move the Bison Floor Washer Lite than common products, and women will not have too much pressure to use it.

Sweeping and dragging effect of big mouth whale swallowing

The floor washer is an enhanced version of the Pro Max Plus of the vacuum cleaner. Because of the existence of the roller brush, solid and liquid can be solved without discrimination. The cleaning effect can be described as "big mouthed".

Let's start with a simple fine powder garbage cumin powder, which is easy.

Then came the ravaged cheese biscuit, with irregular and light particles, which was easier to clean than cumin powder.

The soil mixed with small stones should also not be placed in the eye.

During the test, we purposely spread the brush wider than the roller brush, trying to achieve the clear effect before and after cleaning as advertised. As a result, the soil that did not touch the roller brush on the edge was also sucked in by the Lisheng Floor Washer Lite, which showed little suction than expected.

Then there is the sewage cleaning of the "main floor" of the floor washer. We used the nightmares of Guangdong housewives - the solid liquid mixture of two bags of summer, mulberry and chrysanthemum. As a result, the floor washer Lite of Besheng responded more calmly than when dealing with solid waste. Because the sewage is continuously sucked away, the ease of sewage cleaning by the floor washer is never achieved by any ordinary mop/rag.

The chili sauce is indeed a "ground destroyer". Even the Triumph Floor Washer Lite can't pass through it. It has to be sucked back once, but this is also the "height" that all cleaning tools can't reach in the past  

In the official test of "eggs+instant noodles", we can also do it, but this test is more to show the cleaning ability of the floor washer. In actual use, we also need to consider the cleaning problem of the floor washer itself: better for the floor washer, and it will be better for later maintenance.

StainBuffer sewage recovery system without water stains

As a matter of fact, the cleaning ability of the floor washers has long been no problem, but they are still the hardest hit areas with water stains and leaks. As long as you have used mops or sweeping robots with mopping function, you will understand how painful it is to leave water stains: many products have too much water to roll or wipe cleanly, resulting in too much residual water on the ground and leaving water stains; For some products, even after the fan stops running, the sewage not sucked into the sewage tank will leak out along the pipeline

This kind of functional details can best reflect the manufacturer's details. Although the Besson Floor Washer Lite is a lightweight model, it is also equipped with the unique StainBuffer sewage recovery system of Besson. There are water blocking spacers behind the ground scraping strips and serrated scraping strips on the clean water outlet. In addition, the water stop valve set inside the Lite machine of the Besheng Floor Washer can effectively prevent the sewage from flowing back, and will automatically lift the suction to absorb the residual water before shutdown, while improving decontamination and preventing secondary pollution, it also achieves 99% water stain recovery (data source: certification test report of Nande Certification Testing (China) Co., Ltd.).

Water mark on the ground after strong mode ↑

Ground effect after 1 minute ↑

In the actual test, the water drops left on the ground by the Lisheng Floor Washer Lite in the strong mode are also very shallow. It was dried in less than 1 minute at 27 ℃ and 66% humidity. The mopping is clean and fast, and technology is really the first productive force.

Hair 0 winding pain point design

Whether it is a floor sweeper or a floor washer, the roller brush structure is most afraid of long hair. They will wind and rotate on the roller brush, affecting the cleaning effect, and it is difficult to take it down. This is why the broom or the floor washer usually has additional small cutter accessories.

In order to solve the hair problem, there are plans to add an automatic cutter to the roller brush to cut and wrap the hair, and there are plans to give up the roller brush structure directly. But the actual effect of the former is very skinny, while the cost of the latter is a little high. The "hair zero entanglement" of Shengdi Floor Washer Lite is a solution that focuses more on "prevention of entanglement".

In addition to the serrated scraping strips on the roller brush cover, the long tray behind the roller brush also has a special structure, which can actually provide a very good anti winding effect. It can even intercept hair into a ball on a removable tray, which is wonderful. Now even long hair can boldly rush through.

After the 3.8kg lightweight design, the maximum noise of Beson Land Washer Lite also dropped to 65dB, and the peak volume was lower than most hair dryers. As a reference, the noise of most products on the market is about 75-78dB. DB is an index value. When converted into energy, the difference of 10dB is about 3.16 times.

This makes the Besheng Floor Washer Lite more suitable for users in rental environments or small apartments. As long as it is not midnight, you can start cleaning at any time, and you don't have to worry about disturbing neighbors.

When switching between working mode, water tank, self-cleaning and almost all other states, the Lisheng Floor Washer Lite will have voice alerts, and the volume is still high. It may be that I can hear the prompt tone clearly when I am working hard, but I think the prompt tone is a little too big.

Finally, there is a detail. The height of the roller brush is only 5.5 cm, so the height of the mop is much lower than that of most of the floor washers. It can drill deeper under the sofa and bed, further expanding the cleaning range.

Because the core audience is single or double person scene, their cleaning area will not be large, so the clean water tank is set as 0.42L and the sewage tank as 0.53L by the Lisheng Floor Washer Lite, which can actually support 3.5 times of self-cleaning and about 7 times of full force irrigation. The amount of water is enough to clean one room at a time, but if it is a large villa with hundreds of square meters of clean area, it is still the flagship model.

summary

The positioning of Besson Floor Washer Lite is a lightweight floor washer, which is a textbook style "step back and expand the horizon". The core selling points are weight, 65dB noise control and Besson's unique StainBuffer sewage recovery system, which has brought a variety of effects such as no water stains, zero hair entanglement and solid waste interception. Of course, it also makes the price "lightweight".

Personally, I am more optimistic about this type of lightweight floor washing machine. After all, except for sweeping, most users cannot use the huge water tank and endurance on the heavy-duty floor washing machine. A more common cleaning scene is to suddenly feel that the room, living room and bathroom are dirty, and then take out the floor washer to clean them. The extra endurance and water tank of heavy products are idle most of the time. Moreover, such positioning does not conflict with the flagship model of sweeping robot and house cleaning, and it may even be the one that is used more frequently.
