examine – Since you usually walk around the house barefoot, it is essential to keep the floor squeaky clean. Vacuuming and mopping using the Ultenic MC1 vacuum cleaner is carried out three times a week. It looks great visually and you can barely feel the dust under your feet, but I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up Ultenic’s AC1 Elite Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner.

Design and Features
The Ultenic AC1 Elite Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum arrived in a large recyclable cardboard box.
The packaging was good and there were no lumps or bruises.
The AC1 requires some assembly. The handle is inserted into the main body and clicks into place.
The power supply is “wall” style and plugs into a socket on the base.
Keeping cleaning brushes, spare HEPA filters, and roller bar sand in the base will help keep your components organized.
Electrical contacts on the base automatically charge the Ultenic AC1 Elite cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner. It took about 3 hours from full charge to full charge.
A water tank containing clean water is fixed to the back.
Likewise, a tank to hold dirty water is attached to the front.
The buttons on the handle turn AC1 on and off, select mode, language and automatic cleaning.
Performance
The top of the body has a dazzling color display that makes the AC1 look like it was just transported from the Enterprise. The dust detection level ring surrounds the “Smart Mode”, “Maximum Mode”, “Absorption Mode”, “Silent Mode”, “Automatic Cleaning Status”, “Add Water”, “Pour Dirty Water”, “Roller Brush” indicators . ‘Clogged’ and battery level remaining. That’s an impressive array of information!
The Ultenic AC1 Elite Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner has the unmatched ability to pick up or move obstacles without having to lean it against a wall, lay it down, or place it back on the floor. Once fully upright and locked, the vacuum cleaner goes into “standby mode” and the motor turns off. Unlock the body by pressing the roller housing with your foot and the motor will start running again.
It is self-propelled and moves forward on its own, begging for more of the soiled food, spilled milk and cat vomit. I could hear a change in suction power, which confirmed that the automatic dust detection was working properly.
After filling the clean water tank, adding Ultenic cleaning solution, we set off on our first voyage. Earlier that day, both my robot vacuum and the Ultenic MC1 were on patrol and my floors looked clean, debris-free, and shiny, but one pass showed me that there was a lot of room for improvement. 30 minutes of cleaning removed a shocking amount of dust and debris. Wow!
I especially liked the weight and the ability to use the AC1 on ceramic tiles on stairs and entryways that are inaccessible and often ignored by our robot companions. Well done, Ultenik!
Although water will flow through the AC1’s components when you press the “Auto Clean” button after use, it’s still important to keep the internal parts clean. The roller brush and housing can be accessed by removing the cover using the opposite button.
The included cleaning brush can clean every nook and cranny.
Roller brushes rotate for rinsing and drying. This will take some time, so it helps to have it in the base.
Wastewater tanks also require cleaning. The top basket captures larger debris while smaller granules pass through with the wastewater.
Finally, rinse the filter.
What I like about the Ultenic AC1 Elite
- Cleans well
- It is light enough to be used on stairs or landings.
- self cleaning
- long battery life
- nice display
What needs to be improved?
final thoughts
I like to keep my house clean and everything helps. Even having multiple scrubbing companions can help remove some of the more unpleasant stuff. Ultenic’s AC1 Elite cordless wet/dry vacuum is powerful and light enough for use in often overlooked areas. It’s easy to clean, has an impressive display, and has excellent suction power to remove stubborn floor dirt. Thank you, Ultenik!
