About Lest C8 Netwayaj a Vapè

Lest C8 se yon aparèy netwayaj a vapè ki fèt pou netwaye lakay. Konsepsyon an konbine karakteristik aspiratè ak aparèy netwayaj a vapè, li mete ansanm mobilite ak manyen ègonomik avèk pèfòmans vapè nan yon kò konpak. Wou entegre yo ak yon manch pou leve fasilite deplasman ak transpò. Yo regle vapè a nan plizyè nivo atravè yon entèfas tactile kapasitif, ki adapte pwodiksyon vapè a selon diferan sifas. Yon bèk avèk yon jwenti fleksib amelyore pòte ak konfò. Rezèvwa dlo a ka retire e li plen pa kouvèti anwo a. Netwayaj la fèt san pwodui chimik.

Cleaning is performed without chemicals and removes up to 99.999% of viruses and 99.99% of common household bacteria from hard surfaces.
Dimensions & Packaging: 220 x 295 x 115
Tags: steam, cleaner, floor
Production Technology: ABS injection molding
Design Challenge: This steam cleaner explores the convergence between vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners, redefining usability through a hybrid typology. The design research focused on mobility, ergonomics, and product perception, introducing integrated wheels and a lifting handle to enhance maneuverability and transport. Benchmark analysis highlighted gaps between bulky steam systems and agile vacuum cleaners, guiding a compact, balanced architecture. Prototyping and 3D validation refined proportions and user interaction, resulting in an intuitive, domestic-friendly steam cleaner that bridges two established product categories.
Research: The creative challenge was to achieve high ergonomic performance despite the product’s compact dimensions. Design research focused on simplifying the user interface to ensure immediate, intuitive interaction, reducing visual and functional complexity. At the same time, the project aimed to maintain a clean, essential design language while conveying a modern, refined, and well-equipped character. Careful proportioning, surface continuity, and functional integration allowed the steam cleaner to appear visually light yet technically complete, balancing clarity, usability, and contemporary aesthetic appeal within a reduced footprint.
Inspiration: The design inspiration comes from both vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners, combining the best qualities of each category. From vacuum cleaners, the project adopts mobility, compactness, and ergonomic handling; from steam cleaners, it integrates effective cleaning performance and functional robustness. The creative intent was to merge these strengths into a single, coherent product that is visually appealing, simple to understand, and highly functional.
Project Duration: June 2025 to december 2025 Italy and China
Operation Flow: refill the removable water tank on the bottom from the top lid, set temperature by the touch UI, clean with steam.
