🌟 First Impressions: Unboxing the T8S felt like meeting a new roommate—sleek, compact, and promising to handle my messes. The 2-in-1 vacuum/mop combo had me at "3200Pa suction," but real-life testing revealed both gems and flaws.

🧹 Pros That Shine: The mopping function? Surprisingly decent! The electronically controlled water tank left my tile floors streak-free, and the app scheduling let me wake up to clean floors. Pet hair? Gone. The slim design (3.27'') slid under furniture like a ninja, and the 120-minute runtime covered my 1,200 sq ft apartment without dying mid-clean.

🤖 Navigation Woes: The "intelligent" obstacle avoidance? More like a bull in a china shop. It repeatedly rammed into my floor registers and got tangled in shoelaces. One day, I found it stranded on a bath mat like a beached whale. The app’s no-go zones helped, but it still needed babysitting.

🔊 Noise & Suction: Quiet mode is library-approved, but max suction (great for carpets) sounds like a tiny jet engine. The 3-layer filter trapped dust well, though larger debris (like leaves) often escaped its grasp. Pro tip: Removing the HEPA filter boosted sawdust pickup—a hack I discovered during a DIY disaster.

💧 Mopping Real Talk: The 260ml tank needed refills for larger areas, and Pine-Sol mixes worked wonders. But avoid carpets—it treats them like lava and either avoids or gets stuck on them.

📱 App Quirks: Tuya Smart’s interface is user-friendly, but the 2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi requirement feels outdated. Voice control via Google Assistant was hit-or-miss; sometimes it obeyed, other times it pretended not to hear me.

⚡ Final Verdict: For the price, it’s a solid starter bot—especially for hard floors and pet owners. Just don’t expect Roomba-level IQ. If you’re patient with its quirks (and occasional rescues), it’s a decent sidekick in the war against dirt.
