Stain remover

Pleasantly stupid: Tineco’s iCarpet Spot put to the test

Can't do much, but it does it quite well: the iCarpet Spot from Tineco.(Bild: Krone KREATIV/Sebastian Räuchle)

With the "iCarpet Spot", Chinese household appliance manufacturer Tineco launched a stain remover on the market just before Christmas that suggests intelligence but is anything but smart. We think that's pretty clever. Find out why in our test report.

Carpets are a great thing, especially in winter, as they keep your feet nice and warm. Unfortunately, however, they also trap all the dirt that is brought inside from outside - especially if you own two dogs, who are only partially familiar with the concept of hygiene, cleanliness and table manners. Reason enough, then, to test the new iCarpet Spot from Tineco - a subsidiary of Ecovacs Robotics, one of the global pioneers in the field of "intelligent cleaning robots".
