MIKO H11 PRO: An affordable wet/dry vacuum cleaner with a roller dryer and water sterilization

The next new product to review is the MIKO H11 PRO upright vacuum cleaner. Compared to a regular one H11 versionCompared to the previously reviewed "Pro," the Miko H11 Pro features a roller drying function on the base and a sterilization mode for clean water in the tank. Furthermore, the device boasts a larger water tank capacity, 18,000 Pa of suction power, and a relatively affordable price, which at the time of writing starts at $190. So, below, I'll thoroughly test the Miko H11 Pro, highlight its pros and cons based on the test results, and then express my own opinion on it, as well as compare its real-world performance with the smaller H11 model. So, let's get started!

Equipment

The vacuum cleaner arrived in a branded box like this:

The package includes:

1. The main block itself.
2. Removable handle.
3. Base for charging and self-cleaning.
4. Power adapter.
5. Vacuum cleaner cleaning tool.
6. Branded cleaning product.
7. Operating instructions in Russian.

I was pleased to see that the kit included a cleaning solution. Let's move on!

Appearance

Now let's take a look at the MIKO H11 PRO's design. Let's start with the cleaning module. It's a familiar fluffy roller. It's not offset to the edge of the body, like the regular H11.

The top cover is removable. A metal plate is installed behind the roller for self-cleaning the roller of dirt, hair, and other debris. A squeegee and a suction port are also included for collecting liquid residue from the floor.

The tanks are arranged in the usual way. The clean water tank is located at the back and holds 700 ml. A water sterilization module is installed inside.

The dirty water tank also holds 700 ml. It contains an H13 generation HEPA filter with a mesh screen. There is no coarse filter. The water level is detected by electronic sensors.

The Miko H11 Pro is controlled by buttons on the handle. There are three buttons: power on/off, switching between operating modes, and activating the self-cleaning function on the base. There are three operating modes: automatic, intelligent water sterilization mode, and high-power mode, in which the Miko H11 Pro only vacuums without supplying water. All information is displayed on the informative display.

As for the water sterilization mode, when it is turned on, bacteria and other dangerous microorganisms contained in the liquid are destroyed.

There's also a button on the back of the handle to turn voice notifications on and off. The Miko H11 Pro has built-in voice prompts in Russian.

The base is where the vacuum cleaner charges, self-cleans, and dries the roller. The roller dries with room-temperature air, without heating.

Technical specifications

The main characteristics of Miko H11 Pro, as stated by the manufacturer:

• Battery: Li-Ion, 4000 mAh
• Power consumption: 250 W.
• Suction power: up to 18000 Pa
• Operating time: up to 38 min
• Charging time: 3.5 h.
• Clean water tank: 700 ml
• Dirty water tank: 700 ml
• Noise level: 75.5-78.5 dB
• Weight: 3.9 kg.

The increased battery capacity, increased suction power, and larger water tank capacity stand out compared to most similar products. The noise level, which I personally tested, is in the range of 75.5-77 dB. This is slightly higher than similar products, but not critical.

Testing

A detailed video review of the MIKO H11 PRO, including all tests, has already been prepared and published on the channel:

And finally, let's move on to the tests. The Miko H11 Pro performs well in everyday floor cleaning, both on laminate and tile. It doesn't leave streaks and, when used correctly, won't damage delicate flooring.

This device can be used not only for cleaning floors but also for vacuuming liquids. And, as in my case, the vacuum even passed the now-traditional test of picking up a mixture of raw egg and flour.

The Miko H11 Pro can also be used to clean floors. As you can see, there are no marks or streaks left behind. The floor is perfectly clean.

The only caveat is that the roller doesn't extend to the edge of the cabinet, leaving a strip of unwashed material along the baseboard. The width of the blind spot is 2 centimeters.

This vacuum cleaner was able to remove even the toughest dried-on coffee and sauce stains. As with similar products, it took some time to remove the sauce stains. In my case, it took about 8 minutes to remove all the stains. This was done using the manufacturer's proprietary cleaning solution included with the vacuum cleaner.

I also tested how this wet/dry vacuum cleaner can pick up various types of debris from the floor. And the Miko H11 Pro is even capable of picking up large debris like cat litter pellets. This leaves only a small blind spot in the corner where the roller can't reach.

While it's possible, it's not practical to clean carpets with the Miko H11 Pro. The roller structure isn't ideal, so it only picks up debris superficially. While cleaning performance is generally acceptable on low-pile carpets, its effectiveness on fluffy carpets is minimal. Furthermore, without water, the suction system, including the HEPA filter, quickly clogs, damaging the motor and reducing suction power. For such purposes, I recommend using a dry vacuum cleaner with a turbo brush that's compatible with the design. Even the Miko line includes devices like these, which I recommend. compared In a separate article. I left the link in the description.

The final test is to check the self-cleaning performance after all the tests. In this regard, the Miko H11 Pro self-cleans on par with most similar products. It's not perfect, but acceptable. Some traces of sauce remain on the roller. However, the testing conditions were also quite challenging, admittedly.

In a domestic environment, after daily floor washing, self-cleaning does a better job, as the roller is not in such a bad condition.

Regarding drying, the roller isn't completely dry in the base, as the drying time is about an hour, and the air isn't heated. Ultimately, this solution is better than no drying function at all, as some moisture is still removed from the roller. However, drying isn't as effective as similar devices with heated air in the base.

Personal opinion

The Miko H11 Pro upright vacuum cleaner has been thoroughly reviewed and tested. I'll share my thoughts on it.

I liked the following:

1. Capable of effectively washing floors and removing dirt.
2. Suitable for dry cleaning on hard surfaces and low-pile carpets.
3. The tank is equipped with a sterilization mode for clean water.
4. A roller drying function has been added to the station. While it's not perfect, it does help dry the roller a little.
5. Informative LED display on the body.
6. Capacious battery.
7. Voice notifications in Russian.
8. Branded cleaning agent included.
9. Availability of warranty and service.
10. Optimal price.

Among the disadvantages I would like to highlight:

1. There is a blind spot along the baseboard because the roller does not extend to the edge of the housing.
2. There is no air heating when drying the roller.
3. Not suitable for cleaning carpets.
4. There is no way to regulate the water supply level.
5. There is no suction power adjustment.
6. There is no coarse filter in the dirty water tank.
7. Non-removable battery.

Ultimately, I can say that most of the Miko H11 Pro's shortcomings are inherent to its price range, given the current exchange rate. Therefore, for budgets under $200, and with a $10 price difference compared to the lesser H11 version, I consider it a preferable and generally quite good option compared to its competitors.

For a visual comparison, I've included all the differences between the Miko H11 and H11 Pro in a table:

	Miko H11	Miko H11 Pro
Clean water tank capacity	500 ml	700 ml
Volume of the dirty water tank	600 ml	700 ml
Clean water sterilization mode	Absent	Eat
Drying the roller at the station	Absent	Eat
Operating modes	Automatic, floor washing without suction, liquid suction mode without water supply	Automatic, water sterilization mode, liquid suction mode without water supply

As you can see, the Pro version has significant differences, considering the slight price difference. It performs its primary function well and is significantly cheaper than premium models.

On this note, I'd like to end this review. Happy shopping, everyone. Bye!
