Introducing the Tesvor M1 Robot Vacuum

With the M1, you can make smart cleaning plans any time. Control the M1 using the free app, remote control, or voice control.

Do not worry about the M1 while it runs its mission as it has collision-and-fall sensors in addition to durable bumpers. Even for recharging, it will return back to the base itself.

The vacuum’s paths usually involve S-shape movements to ensure thorough cleaning. The icing on the cake is the super slim body that allows it to go under furniture, but you cannot set virtual boundaries.

If the M1 gets stuck and you pick it up to place it somewhere else, it will likely restart the whole cleaning cycle, so be informed about that.

Is there mapping? Yes, but the map is unfortunately not saved. Also, after recharging, the M1 starts a new cycle rather than complete the one it lost its battery doing.

Important surface-coverage details

The M1 works best with light-colored hard floors and low-to-medium pile carpets. You can also use it on tiles and laminated floors. Avoid high-pile carpets and dark-colored surfaces at all costs.

  • Low-pile carpets mean less than 0.25 inches in height.
  • Medium-pile means 0.25 to 0.5 inches.
  • High-pile means 0.5 to 0.75 inches.

The M1 is almost guaranteed to get stuck if you use it on high-pile carpets, so again, avoid doing that.

Furthermore, avoid black carpets as the M1 will recognize it as a fall-off point and avoid it.

One more thing worth mentioning is that the M1 can be loud when the performance is maxed out. Of course, you can quiet it down, but that would also mean employing a lower performance setting.

More tidbits

Do not be intimidated by the previous details. Robot vacuums usually specialize in one area instead of spreading themselves too thin by packing as many features as possible.

That said, the M1 removes most pet hair, dust, dirt and crumbs. You can kickstart it by pressing one key.

Make sure to use a 2.4GHz or dual-band router configured to support a 2.4GHz frequency band, not 5GHz.
