It is one of the most powerful robots on the market, has advanced gyroscope-based navigation and a large tank with a good filtering system; In addition, it has good autonomy, it can be controlled via app and remote control, and all of this at a very reasonable price, so the quality-price ratio is high.
Box contents
Start up
The Tesvor M1 comes partially charged, although it is advisable to fully charge it before putting it to work for the first time. A full charge takes between 4 and 6 hours, and its 5.200 mAh lithium battery provides you with Long autonomy of up to 150 minutes, enough to clean a medium-sized or even large home.
It is recommended to place the charging base in a clear place, in which the robot has space to detect it and to maneuver comfortably; As a guide, it should be left free between 1 and 1,5 meters, both to the sides and forward.
Once charged, we can put it to work, always starting from the charging base and leaving the doors open for him to access the rooms, clearing the floor as much as possible, to make his work easier.
To start cleaning we have several ways: using the button on the top (it also has another one, shaped like a house, to send it to the base), using the remote control, using voice commands (compatible with Alexa and Google Home), and using the application, which It is the most comfortable and practical way to access all functions.
Simple commands can be given through voice assistants, such as starting cleaning, stopping it or returning to the charging base.
For its part, The controller has several basic functionalities, such as turning it on and off (the red button at the top), starting the systematic cleaning (top left), sending it to the base (top right), directing it by hand (with the arrow buttons ), change the suction power (the button with two blades, lower left), select the edge mode (also lower, left), or program the robot.
Tesvor M1 remote control
With the application, we can perform all the functions of the controller and some more, among others: change the power between four different levels, see how the robot is progressing, know the cleaned surface and the remaining autonomy or see the cleaning history, for example.
Installing the app
The application is the most convenient method to operate the Tesvor M1, providing access to all its functions. The app is called WeBack and it is very well known in the world of robots, since it is used by different models; It is available for iOS and Android, and can be downloaded directly from these stores, or start the process by scanning the QR code that the robot brings.
Once the app is installed and an account is created if you do not have one, We will simply have to follow the process step by step that the application itself indicates..
Once the connection is configured, we can operate the robot whenever we want and wherever we are (on the street, at work, in a cafeteria...), providing great comfort and versatility; This way, when we get home we will always have it clean (we can also program the robot to work on certain days and at certain hours).
How the Tesvor M1 works
The Tesvor M1 is a mid-range robot that stands out especially for its high suction power, which places it among the most powerful devices on the market.
Navigation system
The Tesvor M1 has a gyroscopic navigation system, which provides orderly, systematic and efficient movements, allowing you to cover up to 100% of the surfaces.
This system is not as precise as the laser system mounted, for example, by the S6, (which also allows you to save the map and interact with it), but offers a better result than robots with random navigation.
This technology allows you to move quite fluidly, so its autonomy of between 80 and 150 minutes (depending on power) is enough to clean a medium sized home.
On the other hand, its profile, lower than that of robots with laser navigation (due to the absence of the turret that characterizes these) allows it easily sneak under beds and furniture.
Power
this robot It is one of the most powerful on the market, not only within its price range, but it also surpasses many high-end models, with a price that multiplies yours by two or three.
Its powerful digital motor rotates at high revolutions to achieve a 4.000 Pascal suction power, a figure that allows it to very effectively capture all types of dirt, dust, hair, crumbs, sand, cereals and other heavier particles.
Brushes
The Tesvor M1 It has two side brushes (it comes with two other spares), with a design that captures the dirt that usually accumulates on edges and corners. They fit by pressure (each side, in its corresponding color) and are removed by pulling outwards.
For its part, the rotating central roller is a classic multifunction brush, which combines rubber and bristles (with good density), to effectively capture dirt on all types of surfaces, both on hard floors and on carpets and rugs.
Deposit and filtering
The Tesvor M1 dirt tank is one of the largest in the segment, reaching 600 milliliters, a figure that allows you to clean a medium-sized home even more than once.
Optionally you can buy a water tank with a microfiber mop to turn the Tesvor M1 into a multifunction robot, but it is not included as standard.

Opinions on the Tesvor M1
The robot comes very well equipped, with various spare parts. The suction power is adjustable, so you can set it to the lowest setting daily and it is very quiet, or set it to the strongest setting when dust has accumulated.. The construction quality is high, the glass surface looks great. The filtering system is effective and easy to disassemble. The remote control is also practical for me to start cleaning without depending on my cell phone, but I use the app a lot to start it from work, and that way I have a clean house when I arrive. Its battery lasts a long time, it is a clear purchase recommendation.
After a lot of looking around, we decided on the Tesvor M1 and we don't regret our decision. It has a very high suction power, 4.000 Pa, double that of many competing robots, but it is not very noisy, it has four power levels (quiet, low, normal and strong) and in normal mode, the noise level is very reasonable, only at full power it is a little noisy. It easily vacuums any surface and every time you pass by, you see the dust container quite full. We are delighted.
Tesvor M1 cleaning between the chairs
I am very happy with it. Before buying it I was comparing various models, and in the end I decided on this one and I am very satisfied. It has 4 selectable power levels, it can also be controlled with a remote control and with Alexa. Carefully clean between the legs of chairs and tables, and when finished return to the charging base. We are delighted!
After a few years with it, it was time to replace the Roomba and after exhaustive research, we opted for the Tesvor. Its rotating brush works well on both hard floors and low-pile carpets, its appearance exudes quality and the tank is a large size and opens easily to empty dirt. The power is just fantastic, I didn't think it was that good. In short, a great, visually attractive and high-quality robot, at a very good price. We highly recommend it.
At home we are five people and a dog, and we saw the Tesvor M1, which indicated great suction power. Even at medium power level, it absorbs more than the robot we had before, and at maximum power it does a great job on carpets. The tank is very large, 600 milliliters, which is important if you have pets at home that shed hair. A clear purchase recommendation.
