Introducing MACH R1 Always-Clean




MACH Tech X RKBY Collaboration




Vacuum, Mop, and Self-Clean Simultaneously.




Unique Design Language

At a glance, it is evident that the design sets itself apart. We have achieved a design language that transcends to a whole new level in the robotic vacuum cleaner market.

The visual identity of MACH is to keep simple and iconic silhouettes while expressing the powerful performance gently by using transparent materials. Even in iconic silhouettes, within users' reach, there are breathtaking details. Every detail, button, display, and water tank is crafted with extreme care and deep thinking to deliver the best experience and ergonomics to everyone.




Re-Organized the Key Components Layout

We started with the fundamental question: Why should the water tank be hidden inside like all other competitors? Is there a more intuitive way for the product and the user to interact? So we designed the product to expose the water tank outward, providing users with a wealth of information at a glance and allowing for a much more intuitive interaction between users and products.
With aesthetically pleasing proportions, the compact All-in-One Station helps users to take in and out of the heavy water tank easily, without the need to bend over.




Intuitive Design

Even from a distance, you can instantly access the complete status of the product. There is no need to go and open a flimsy lid every time to tediously check the clean water tank and the dirty water tank.

We have identified the optimal ratio between the clean and the wastewater tanks, allowing users to instantly know the water levels of both tanks just by looking at the clean water tank. Additionally, through LEDs, users can receive feedback in case of issues, and there is even a captivating effect when the Eco-Clean Ozone is activated.




Deliver the Best Experience

Minimal interaction, but a thoughtful layout. Filling and emptying water tanks, replacing detergent or dust bags, and controlling with or without using the app, process is simple. We took one step closer to fully autonomous cleaning by giving back users time.




UV Verified Cleanness

R1 eliminates messes while remaining fresh. Picking up debris and contacting the floor with fresh clean mop only. This structural design results in a significant difference in cleaning performance compared with other competitors on the market.

The R1 Always-Clean is the first vacuum and mop robotic that truly delivers effective cleaning.




Like a Human Being

It maximizes cleaning area while adapting to the layout and obstacles of your domain. The Matrix Eye allows the R1 to think in three dimensions, like a human being. This gives the R1 the intelligence to recognize hundreds of obstacles and navigate around both stationary and moving objects as well as smaller obstacles that often go unnoticed.




Market-Leading Object Identifying Technology

The R1 is equipped with the ability to distinguish at least 55 different items on the floor, including toys, scales, slippers, charging cables, chairs, sofas, beds, and more.




Triple Cleaning Solution

Even from a distance, you can instantly access the complete status of the product. There is no need to go and open a flimsy lid every time to tediously check the clean water tank and the dirty water tank.

We have identified the optimal ratio between the clean and the wastewater tanks, allowing users to instantly know the water levels of both tanks just by looking at the clean water tank. Additionally, through LEDs, users can receive feedback in case of issues, and there is even a captivating effect when the Eco-Clean Ozone is activated.
