ATVEL F16 Ultimate Cordless Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner & Mop with UV Sterilization, Self-Cleaning, HEPA-12 Filter, LED Display, Removable Long Battery for Hard Floors & Carpets

I’ve been using the Atvel F16 Ultimate for a few weeks and it has made everyday cleaning much easier. Wet and dry cleaning now takes very little time. The vacuum is light, easy to handle, and simple to clean after use. The build feels strong and it works exactly as described. It is perfect for Indian homes as it handles tiles, wooden floors, and light carpets very well. Even my house help finds it simple to use. Only may be on a very thick carpets it needs a bit more effort but that is not common in most Indian homes. Overall it saves a lot of time and effort. Definitely worth buying.

Imagine a massive construction site right next to and opposite your house. The constant barrage of loud sounds and mud and cement-laden dust everywhere. It's a definite cleaning nightmare for any house. That’s us. We have a V11, an N10 robot vac, a slew of manual mopping accoutrements and zero maids at our disposal. The robot vac wasn’t the most effective as it would leave a lot of areas out if it encountered an obstacle, its mopping was dismal, the app was unpredictable, and the intricate cleaning job after every use made it quite a bit of a headache rather than help. The V11 of course, is great, but just vacuuming wasn’t keeping our floors clean. Mopping had to be done separately and this became a two-person job, given the size of our residence. We could not keep up with the dust and it was frustrating, to say the least. This Republic Day sale, I decided it was time to marry the mopping with vacuuming and make it a one-man job. Thanks to the immense dust in the air, my floors needed a daily wash more than a mop, and a wet and dry vac fit the bill perfectly. Now, I had never heard of Atvel before and found out only now that it’s an 8-year-old American brand focused on the Eastern European market and is now in India. I had been eyeing the popular S5 model of its rival brand for a while, but their non-removable batteries made me shy away from investing in an expensive gadget. The F16 Ultimate was the perfect choice with its swappable battery, powerful suction and clean and no-frills features. I let my house go unswept for 2 days, knowing the vac was on the way. I was going to put this unit to a harsh test right away! I’ll share some observations/tips to help you get the best out of this amazing appliance. The vacuum is supposed to be charged for 12 hrs before the first use. The right side of the head has excellent edge cleaning, while the left is about 1.5" away from the edge. Just like I wouldn’t start mopping with a dry cloth/mop head, so too I wouldn’t with a wet vac. I make it vacuum up a decent puddle of clean water first to get the roller nice and wet and then proceed to work it around my house. The vac by default will dry vacuum unless you press the trigger button on the handle, which will release water and start the mopping work. This button needs to be pressed every time you resume cleaning and in extra dirty/dusty places. My kitchen needed the most aggressive cleaning and to make the washing/mopping process easy, I poured a little water every few feet while concentrating on the high-traffic areas. The vacuum sucked it all up and did an excellent job. I could finally walk barefoot and not feel any dust/residue on the floors after a long time. My neglected balcony that faces the construction site was the last cleaning hurdle. I poured a little bit of water again all over the floor and after the vacuum did its job (it switched off in the middle as the dirty water tank had filled up), the balcony shone like new! I could roll with joy on those sparkling-clean floors! Unlike its rivals, Atvel doesn’t require any cleaning solution for its job. My floor has never shone so bright and felt so squeaky clean in ages, and that too with JUST water! The self-cleaning cycle will not start if your battery is low. When you put it on the charging station, you need to see at least 2 bars of battery on the display for the self-cleaning cycle to start. The first time I used it, I had to run the cleaning cycle 5 times to get the roller clean. Of course, I judge it by the colour of the water in the dirty tank after each cycle. Each cycle lasts 2 minutes and will use half of the water in the clean water tank. I always make sure it’s full before I start. You’ll have to empty the dirty water tank and top up the clean one every 2 cycles. On the 3rd day, the rollers were cleaned in 3 cycles. To deep clean the roller, especially after picking up a nasty/oily spill, I first do a self-cleaning cycle to get it clean, then remove the roller and wash it under a tap using a medium bristle brush. You’ll be surprised how much deeply embedded dirt comes out and I continue until the water runs clean. I then air-dry it near a window. I’ve now started doing this every 2-3 days to keep the roller squeaky clean. It makes a big difference in the mopping quality and your floors will be even cleaner, versus just doing a self-cleaning cycle only. Air drying of the roller happens in the cleaning cycle lasts for 2 hours. Pressing the On switch for 2 seconds will start/stop the rolling of the brush. Make sure to remove the top roller cover when it starts the drying cycle. When you start charging, the fans switch on by default. Press the fan button once to switch it off if you’re just charging the battery. A fully discharged battery will take 6 hours to recharge. I just about finish my whole house before the battery drains out. A spare battery would be useful. I’m told it will be in stock along with other accessories in a few weeks. Make sure you go at the natural speed of the vacuum and don’t rush it forward or back. When going over a spill, go extra slow to avoid any liquid getting into the motor. If you’ve just cleaned a spill that had oil/fats in it, can you continue mopping the rest of the house? Ideally, you should not. Run a self-cleaning cycle or two, and then resume. The roller doesn’t get any hair tangled on it, which is a huge relief for me. Yes, you can use it to mop bathrooms. But no, it will not clean deep-set grime in the grout lines. It’s a good idea to purchase the Onsitego extra warranty for extra peace of mind. The vacuum is on the heavier side and is also louder and not as fluid in its turns compared to my V11. But it’s still good and gets the job done well. It also won’t go very far under the furniture. The low placement of the battery pack makes it touch the floor when you tilt it to go under furniture, and I think this is by design, as wet vacuums are not supposed to be titled more than 140 degrees. The clean water tank needs a wedge-like handle design to make it easy to pop off the machine. It’s a little hard to pull it off with no grip provided. I hope the design teams take note of this. If I'm covering the whole house in one go, I stop the vacuuming in the middle, remove the roller, wash it thoroughly under a tap with a brush and then resume. The mopping results are even better. All in all, although other big brands boast many additional features that are not present in the Atvel, you will not miss anything much with the F16 Ultimate. It offers a simple and complete solution to keeping the floor clean. It doesn’t claim anything fancy, but for its competitive price, it does its job EXTREMELY well. I’m so glad I gave this new brand a try and I would happily buy this again and again! I’ll edit my review as I learn more about this vacuum and my overall experience. Meanwhile, I cannot recommend it enough to anyone looking for an all-in-one floor-cleaning solution!

I received my Atvel F16 Ultimate on January 14, 2025, and after using it for over three weeks, I can confidently say that I am fully satisfied with its performance. It does exactly what it is meant to do, and in that regard, it delivers well. This is not my first mop and vac—I previously used the Eureka Forbes Zero Bend, which recently stopped working. That’s when I decided to upgrade, so my review is based on prior experience with a similar product. One of the standout features of the Atvel F16 Ultimate is its self-cleaning function, which works efficiently. However, I had to run four to five cleaning cycles, each lasting about two minutes, to achieve thorough cleaning. I am sure other brands also require multiple cycles for deep cleaning, so this is not necessarily a downside, just something to be aware of. The one area where Atvel lags behind is edge cleaning. While the overall cleaning performance is impressive, the edges could be better handled, as competing brands have already made significant advancements in this aspect. I really hope Atvel invests more in R&D to improve this, as it would make the product even more competitive. For this reason, I am giving four stars instead of five—not because the product is lacking in core functionality, but because innovation is an area where it can improve. That being said, I am completely satisfied with the product and hope that their after-sales service lives up to expectations. I deliberately waited three weeks before posting this review to ensure I had enough hands-on experience. After using it extensively, I can say with confidence that the Atvel F16 Ultimate is a good, reliable product. Would I recommend it? Yes, with the hope that future versions bring even better innovations! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)

1. Buying & Package Experience: Ordered it on Oct 24, 2025. Recieved it on Oct 29, 2025 well before the est delivery date of Nov 4 2025. Delhivery was the agent who deilvered it promptly and with good sturdy packaging. All parts were neatly cushioned and packed so as to not be damaged. There were two layers of packaging. 2. Product: We bought a corded Atvel F40 with dry vacuum, wet mode and steam mode options. Each of these modes can be operated separately (a function not found in other brands). The suction power is good and build quality of the product is far exceeding our expectations. The user manual (original print) comes in different languages and easy to follow. The noise level is very low as compared to some other brands that we reviewed. Before making this purchase, we researched automatic bots, cordless versions of various indian and foreign companies before choosing this product. Our research time lasted for about a month as we went to physical stores as well as online platforms to choose this product. Not your average Chinese product which is flimsy and of poor build. This brand is sturdy to handle. 3. Functionality: Has 3 modes that you can operate separately, which the display panel shows individually. It also shows the temperature. There is an indicator for dirty water removal and clean water refill. The controls for all these are on the handle itself, which makes it easier to operate. In other brands, this switch is usually given on the panel and you have to bend down to operate it. Clean water tank capacity is 750ml. Dirty water tank is separate on the front side and capacity is 650ml. There are two rollers - a roller brush for wet mopping and hard brush for carpet vaccuuming. another important facility is that there is no need that you must use a specific cleaning solution or liquid that will be sold by the product manufacturer. You can use any tap water directly and it does the job. Self-Cleaning is very effectively done. It is advisable to go in for 2 cycles for a cleaner feeling. Corner cleaning is decent, and way way better than what the average maid does. An area of 27x16 used to take 12 litres of water for mopping, with a long sulky face of maid, and unsatisfactory result. But now with this product, it took 750ml of water, clean edges, and mopping time of 20mins and priceless satisfaction. When we started out, we had this doubt as to how 750ml can clean such a big area well. But upon using the wet-mopping mode, our doubts were laid to rest, when we saw it with our own eyes. Any water tank that is lesser than this would be no good for Indian conditions. For 3-bhk-house of 1800 sft, you need to change water thrice. The highlight is that we dont have to sweep separately and mop later. Atvel gets the job done at one go and a huge relief for anyone with backache. The steam mode also works well. The height of the machine is neither too high nor too low even for someone who is 5 feet tall (or short!). The maneuverability of the machine is very good and doesnt hurt the wrist or shoulder. The HEPA filter catches most of the fine dust and dirt on floor, and needs to be cleaned after each use. The dirty water tank doesnt spill as in other brands. Cleaning this manually is the only task post usage. The removal of both clean water and dirt water tank is fairly simple without strain. A very thoughtful feature is the provision of 2 hooks for hanging the cord after usage. Under-furniture cleaning is possible only if furniture has a gap of about 6inches. Any 3-pin adapter will suit for this product (a supply of less than 16amps switch is not advisable). Our usage of this product has been only on hard floors. It cant be used on table tops or other elevated surfaces. Only word of caution: Do not use it near wires which are at floor level as there is a metal plate behind the roller brush. 4. Price: The functionality of this brand matches the price point and we are happy about it. We got this for INR 17,700 on Amazon with an EMI facility. 5. Post usage care: We remove the roller brush, dirty water tank and lay it out to dry outside. Till now there is no mould, bad smell or wet smell in the place where we have stored the machine. Overall, we are happy with the product and its functions. It is timesaving as well. Before bying this product we had lot of hesitation becaue there were not many reviews from indian consumers or no one had bought this before in india. This review has been posted after 2 weeks usage. If you want a spick-and-span home and a maid-free solution, this IS the brand to go for! Amazon allows to upload only one video per review unfortunately. So we shall update this review with a full functionality soon.

I reported a leaking water tank on 16 October 2025. After a video-call verification (yes, they made me prove it on video!), The only contact for the entire country, promised to send a replacement tank. Since then, it has been the same story every week — “sending today, sending tomorrow.” Two months later, it’s 11 December 2025, and nothing has arrived. He has now stopped answering calls altogether. This review is purely because of the terrible customer service. The product itself is average, but if anything breaks, you’re stuck — 1. No spare parts available for purchase, 2. No escalation path 3. Only one email and phone number 4. No Twitter or other social-media support. Avoid Atvel unless you’re ready to deal with endless excuses and zero accountability.

Great Vaccum Cleaner. Definitely Worth! It's very handy and easy to use. Loving the Steam Mode!! Perfectly cleans and disinfects the floor. The Self Cleaning Mode is also a life saver. No need to clean manually. Saves Time!!

I have used this product for almost three months now. I had a Dyson before, and this was an end-of-life replacement for it. I thought this would be a good replacement. First, the pros: 1. It is super lightweight and easy to maneuver 2. Sounds less shrill than the Dyson and doesn't scare my pup as much 3. Lasts longer than the Dyson in Eco mode 4. Has a docking station that allows you to tuck it away neatly in a corner without having to hunt around for the attachments. I have to use most of the attachments to keep away the pet hair 5. Good follow-up from the seller. I had issues with the stick attachment, and Atvel CS promptly replaced it within 24 hours. No questions asked. I was in touch with them through WA, and they're pretty responsive. 6. Cost-effective relative to Dyson; if I am comparing features vs price, this vacuum wins hands down. Now for the cons: 1. The body of the stick vacuum is aluminum, so it gets scratched easily and seems almost flimsy compared to the Dyson 2. Middle of the road performance compared to a Dyson. That being said, it is probably unfair to compare anything to a Dyson, and I mentioned this to the customer service person with whom I was in touch. Comparatively, Dyson has better suction. I was told that this was a wet and dry mop, and hence this performance - not sure how one is related to the other 3. A lot of DIY and figuring it out on your own - first, the vacuum stick would get stuck on the motor attachment, and it needed two people to pull it apart. But to be fair to Atvel, they did replace the machine. Though even now it is a little hard to pull the stick out of the motor attachment - I guess this is because they don't want the two pieces to fall apart while vacuuming. 4. When I mentioned the suction power to the CS, they mentioned that I had to remove one filter inside the motor attachment. Again, there is no way I would've known this unless I talked to CS. How much time does one have in their day-to-day to go about trying to figure out what goes where? I can also see why they might be stretched thin. It's not a big brand like Dyson with too many resources at their disposal. 5. The mattress cleaner head stops running on its own with the error code that something is stuck on the suction head, even if nothing is there, and I am just cleaning a mattress. Not sure why it happens. Even the regular vacuum had stopped twice with the same error message, but it happened only twice. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. TL;DR - This is a middle-of-the-road vacuum at a decent price point, and if you're not too particular about the suction, then it could work for you. I feel it is a little flimsy, and I am not sure how long it will last. I will use it till it gives out and maybe move on to something else. I am giving it a 3 based on the responsiveness of the customer service.

The ATVEL F16 has made cleaning so much easier! It’s powerful, and handles both wet and dry messes effortlessly. I also appreciate the cordless convenience and strong battery life. Their customer service is also very responsive and helpful. The only minor cons I noticed are the noise during self-cleaning and that it can sometimes be tricky to make it stand upright. But overall, it's a great cleaning tool that saves time and does the job really well.
