The emergence of robotic vacuum cleaners has made them essential members of many households. Their presence allows more and more families to avoid spending too much time and effort on cleaning, achieving both convenience and practicality.

As one of the leaders in the robot vacuum market, Stone held a new product launch event on March 29, 2024, introducing three heavyweight products: Stone V20, Stone G20S, and Stone P10S Pro. RayTech was invited to witness the birth of these three new products at the event.
While robot vacuums are born to "clean," most of the robot vacuums on the market today fail to meet consumers' cleaning expectations. Many corners and edges still require users to clean manually, which seriously goes against the "original intention" of robot vacuums. Therefore, Stone has put a lot of effort into this most "basic" aspect, incorporating algorithms, radar technology, powerful suction, and a mechanical arm sweeping and mopping system to truly meet users' cleaning needs with Stone robot vacuums.

For instance, the newly released V20 sweeping and mopping robot by Stone today is equipped with dual-source solid-state laser radar navigation and obstacle avoidance technology. The dual-source design allows for the instant emission of lasers, enabling simultaneous clear viewing of nearby and distant objects, thus achieving more precise mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities. Combined with Stone's self-developed Stone Matrix obstacle avoidance algorithm, the V20 can identify up to 73 types of obstacles and navigate around them accurately, eliminating worries about the robot messing up objects at home anymore.

In addition to its cutting-edge obstacle avoidance technology, the Stone V20 sweeping and mopping robot boasts a slim body of only 82mm. This means that the Stone V20 can penetrate areas such as behind refrigerators, TV cabinets, and under sofas, where users typically cannot clean. Paired with its 11000Pa super suction, dual spiral rubber brushes, and dual mechanical arm sweeping and mopping system, it can effectively clean these hard-to-reach corners.

In addition, the Stone V20 has made some minor improvements to the rubber brush section. The design of the double spiral rubber brush, coupled with high suction, not only quickly cleans up various dust and garbage but also ingeniously designed an "automatic cutting machine" to automatically cut off hair, fundamentally eliminating the situation of the roller brush being entangled by hair.
It is worth mentioning that currently, some sweeping and mopping robots on the market only carry a single mechanical arm. Although they can also clean corners such as wall corners and table legs well, there is still a possibility of incomplete cleaning. Therefore, the Stone V20 has comprehensively upgraded the mechanical arm sweeping and mopping system, using the method of brushing and mopping simultaneously to achieve the cleaning of dust, hair, and particle garbage, thus achieving super strong cleaning efficiency.

In terms of pricing, the Stone V20 sweeping and mopping robot starts at ¥4799, while the intelligent version with water tank goes for ¥5399. These prices align with the current market pricing for flagship-level sweeping and mopping robots.
The second product to debut is the Stone G20S sweeping and mopping robot. The G series has always been popular among consumers in Stone's product lineup. It's fair to say that each generation of G series products has led the development of the entire sweeping and mopping robot market, making these robots increasingly practical.

The Stone G20S naturally continues the advantages of the G series. Firstly, it features a newly upgraded four-zone dual-vibration floor wiping technology, with a high-frequency vibration reaching 4000 times per minute. The wiping area has also increased by 16.5% compared to the previous generation. The ultra-high vibration frequency, combined with a sufficiently large wiping area, can quickly and efficiently clean various dirt on the floor. Even tough stains like oil and ink can be removed effortlessly, leaving no trace behind.

If the Stone G20S detects particularly stubborn stains in a certain area, it will automatically perform repeated mopping on that area until it is completely clean. Additionally, the Stone G20S is equipped with a self-developed Flexi Arm flexible robotic arm system, which, coupled with self-maintaining dual spiral brushes, can effectively clean various hard-to-reach corners.

On other fronts, Stone's G20S mop module supports intelligent control lifting, with a lifting height of up to 20mm, the highest in the industry. It can clean carpets without wetting them. Stone's proprietary RR Mason algorithm has also been upgraded and optimized. When AI worry-free mode is activated, it can quickly analyze the specific situation in the user's home and provide scientific cleaning solutions, without the user having to worry about it. Additionally, features like Pet Mode and TÜV Süd Baby-Grade Certification will not be elaborated on here.

The biggest highlight of the Stone G20S, however, has to be its brand-new high-end fully automatic charging station. It supports features such as high-temperature hot water mopping, automatic dust collection, automatic water tank refilling, self-cleaning base station, automatic drying, automatic drainage, automatic addition of cleaning solution, and comprehensive antibacterial treatment throughout the entire cleaning process, freeing users from manual intervention for up to 60 days. Moreover, the height of the water tank version is only 30cm, making it easy to fit into various corners and significantly reducing the footprint of the robot vacuum's charging station.
The price of the Stone G20S with a water tank is 5399 CNY, while the automatic drainage version is priced at 5999 CNY. As a robot vacuum equipped with an ultra-low versatile charging station, this pricing is quite reasonable.
The third product to debut, the P10S Pro, strictly speaking, is not a new product. However, it still features core functions such as the self-maintaining dual spiral sweeping system, dual telescopic mechanical arms, and versatile charging station. It is priced at 3999 CNY (standard version) and 4599 CNY (automatic drainage version).

Without exaggeration, the two new products launched by Stone this time can definitely meet the cleaning needs of the vast majority of users. Both robotic vacuum and mop cleaners are equipped with the industry's top-notch obstacle avoidance and cleaning technologies, enabling them to handle various complex situations with ease. Following this, ReTech will also provide a sufficiently professional and detailed experience with the V20 robotic vacuum and mop cleaner. Stay tuned for more updates.
