In the field of smart cleaning, EZVIZ has pioneered the world's first dual-engine steam mopping robot. This event unveiled a breakthrough product in this category—the Stella Star 10 Series AI Steam Mop Robot (including Pro/Master models).Among its features, the Star 10 Master is equipped with Yingshi's self-developed dual-engine dual-heat water cleaning solution. Its core consists of two major technologies: the BiCore Suction dual-engine zoning direct suction system and the HotSteam Wash powerful steam dual-heat cleaning system. The BiCore Suction system innovatively uses high-powered dual fans operating independently at 36,000pa, achieving dry-wet separation from the source and effectively solving the problem of mixed dry-wet waste cleanup. The HotSteam Wash system combines 190°C dual-pump pressurized steam with 95°C hot water cleaning, along with a 100°C high-temperature drum self-cleaning system, accurately tackling solidified stains and heavy grease for more thorough cleaning.
In addition, the Star 10 Master innovatively incorporates a lifetime purification self-circulation system, enabling water-free replacement for life. Its active water self-balancing distillation system uses 95°C active water distillation technology to heat wastewater, separating water vapor from solid impurities. The condensed water vapor is recycled into the clean water tank, while solid residues are automatically dried, crushed, and collected in a dust bag. At the same time, the air self-adaptive condensation system can automatically activate the dehumidification water generation function when indoor air humidity exceeds 30%, extracting water molecules from the air to replenish the clean water tank. These dual systems work together, allowing the cleaning robot to operate without relying on external water sources. Additionally, the Star 10 Master is equipped with a five-layer full-chain high-temperature sterilization system and an all-day maintenance-free cleaning system, balancing cleaning efficiency with user convenience to ensure a smooth and efficient cleaning experience.
In terms of AI capabilities, the Star 10 Master integrates Yingshi's Star World model and EZVIZ Auto-vision 3.0 multi-camera visual perception technology. It not only accurately identifies obstacles and furniture types but also deeply understands the flooring materials and dirt levels in different areas. This allows it to intelligently plan cleaning routes and adjust cleaning intensity, achieving personalized deep cleaning that becomes more attuned to household needs over time.
