Alright, let’s be REAL; cleaning sucks! And I am VERY sure you would agree too because the problem does come down to having the RIGHT equipment for vacuuming and mopping. While there are excellent types of equipment available, the issue is that it is usually ONLY good at doing either vacuuming or mopping well and NOT BOTH.

Well, that’s until I discovered this K18 Cordless Vacuum Mop from the Malaysian brand Corvan, so let’s find out why this could be the real problem solver for our cleaning issues.

Unboxing

But first, let’s quickly see what comes inside of the box.

So the unboxing sessions were quite elaborate in the number of accessories which are available, which was really nice to know, where in no particular order, you will find:

• The User Manual
• Below that, there is the Long Crevice Tool
• The 2-in-1 Dusting Tool
• The Bed Vacuuming Tool (which, as the name suggests, makes it great for vacuuming your bed and sofa as well)
• The Extension Rod
• The Motorized Mopping Head & The Mopping Pad
• The Charging Stand base & The Clip Accessories for it
• Underneath that, there is the charging stand pole
• The Charging Bracket
• The 3-Pin Power Adapter
• Then there is the Measuring Cup (to add water into the mopping head easily)
• Some Screws
• The Interchangeable Battery Pack
• The Motorized Floor Brush
• The Main Body (together with the warranty tag)

#1 Design & Handling

So the essential things about any cleaning gear to have do come down to just three things…

The first is how the overall design is and how it is handled when using it daily.

To my surprise, although the vacuum felt really solid, the weight of this K18 was only at a mere 1.5 kgs, making it significantly lighter compared to lots of similar style form factors of vacuums in the market today.

And this means that cleaning and maneuvering at every corner and underneath furniture are extremely easy.

What’s extra sweet is that with the K18’s drive-assist, it even helps you further to give you that “extra drive” when moving the vacuum around as well, so you can literally glide away with the K18.

And because of this, there wasn’t any point of time where I felt any fatigue on my shoulders, especially on my forearm, which usually carries the weight for a heavier-sized vacuum.

.

#2 Suction Power

Now we all know how vital the power suction is as that is essential and will separate the vacuum from the rest because there is no point in having a lightweight vacuum that does not do an excellent job at suction, right?

The good news is that the K18 has an Ultra Strong suction power of 201AW, which is currently the strongest in this segment and even surpasses Corvan’s own K9 model of 115AW, which was already doing an excellent job at the overall suction capabilities.

And yes, this clearly means that Corvan has got two essential cleaning conveniences settled by having a lightweight vacuum and also an ultra-strong suction power with the super-efficient digital motor, with the highest power to weight ratio, that is not only satisfying, but it also makes cleaning your floor quicker as well.

.

#3 Convenience

Next, let’s dive into how convenient it is to use the K18.

Remember I talked about saving time earlier? Well, this vacuum is the ultimate time-saver as it can vacuum AND mop at the same time!

And I am not talking about vacuuming first and then mop after; I am saying that you can just attach the Motorised Mopping Head, fill it in with water, set to the unlock position, and vacuum and mop on a single movement; it’s THAT simple where a full tank can mop up to 20 minutes continuously.

Now yes, if you are dealing with going against heavy grime and dirt, then it’s best if you vacuum first and then mop later, but when it comes to daily cleaning, trust me, guys, this combination of a one time clean is way more sufficient in keeping your place clean and it’s one of the reasons I love the K18 the most.

And speaking of cleaning heads, what’s extra sweet is that the Motorised Floor Head comes with an LED headlight to make it easy to vacuum in the dark, which I tend to do most of the time as it does help tremendously to detect the dirt. I feel that it’s even better than having a typical natural light shined on the floor.

As for the next convenient factor is simple yet lots of other vacuums then not to have, which is the continuous turn on function, as some vacuums still need you to press and hold the on button while cleaning all the time, which can result from finger fatigue.

And thanks to the K18’s super intuitive touch Digital Control Panel, everything is simple and clear just at a glance where you can also easily adjust the three suction levels just by touching over at the Control Panel, convenience at its best!

 

Another thing that really stood out to me was how easy it is to maintain the cleanliness of the vacuum because first of all, it has the Ultra Cyclone design, which removes fine dust from clean air 15 times more efficiently than a regular cyclone that will save you 93% of your time on cleaning your filters alone.

Then when it comes to cleaning off the dirt, with the 1-hand Dirt Disposal method, it means that you can just expel all the dirt and those heavy dust just with a single click without worrying about getting your hands dirty.

And speaking of dust, if you are like me, who is hugely sensitive and allergic to dust, the good news is that the K18 has a 6-stage air purifier grade H12 HEPA filtration, which only allows clean air to be released, so when the vacuum is being used, you are not breathing the dust again and again, as you will be breathing cleaner air while cleaning where everything else will be in the dirt bin!

Then the final convenience standpoint, which is essentially one of my biggest pet peeves, is the battery life on vacuums.

Because with our fast pacing living situations, being able to be up and running to clean at any point of time is a huge must, as not only the K18 can run up to 50 minutes, which is perfect even if you have a medium to big sized home.

And since the battery is interchangeable, you can just swap the batteries immediately once it’s running low, where you can even charge the battery separately from the vacuum on the charging stand.

(charging the battery pack separately from the vacuum)

And speaking of which, I absolutely love the neat little touch that Corvan has done to make charging the vacuum very easy by providing the Auto Charging Stand, which means that other than the so-called “traditional” wall mounting the stand or drilling the stand on the wall to charge, will not be necessary as this Auto Charging Stand is cleverly designed to look aesthetically pleasing and blend very well with your furniture as well.

Conclusion

So yes, there you have it, all the three core elements all being fulfilled, and this clearly shows that Corvan’s K18 Cordless Vacuum Mop is indeed a very compelling option to be a vacuum that is capable of being a new household name for a vacuum and mop combination at your home.

Also worth mentioning is that since Corvan is a Malaysian brand, I have to say that the after-sales service has been excellent since its establishment in 2014. There is also a 5-year warranty for the vacuum turbine and a 1-year warranty for the body and the included battery, so don’t forget to register your warranty for your K18.

And speaking of which, Corvan also has an official YouTube channel where they have some instructions on how to clean and maintain the K18 and feature other products as well, so I will link their YouTube page down below, and if you are interested in getting the Corvan K18 I will leave a link below at the description together with the promo code to enjoy a further discount on it.
