Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • Lightest spot cleaner here at 3.4 kg, easy to carry up stairs
  • Self-clean flushes the hose on its own, so it doesn't turn smelly
  • Sealed 1.2L dual tank stops dirty water mixing with clean

✗ Cons

  • Costs more than the Y200-S while drawing a smaller 600W motor
  • 1.2L split across two tanks means frequent stops on a full sofa

The UWANT Y100 is the lightest spot cleaner in this list at 3.4 kg, with 18kPa suction, a sealed 1.2L dual tank, and an automatic hose flush after every use.

How well does it clean?

The Y100 pulls at 18kPa, the same headline suction as its bigger sibling, so it lifts most of the water back out of a cushion. The PH listing quotes 100°C steam and 60°C hot water, which covers the everyday mess: spills on the sofa, a car seat after a road trip, a rug the dog got to.

Where it gives ground is the motor. At 600W it works through set-in stains more slowly than the 2000W PerySmith. For fresh spills and general upkeep you won’t notice; on a stain that’s been there a year, you will.

Is it easy to live with?

Two things stand out. It’s light, genuinely so, and that changes how often you reach for it. A machine you can carry one-handed up the stairs or out to the carport gets used; a heavy one stays in the cabinet.

And the self-clean runs automatically, flushing the hose so it doesn’t turn sour. The 1.2L dual tank keeps clean and dirty water sealed apart, so you’re never spraying back what you just pulled out.

The catch is that 1.2L is split across both tanks, so a full three-seater means a mid-job stop.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱8,000 as of August 5, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Here’s the honest problem: it costs more than the Y200-S, which lists a stronger system and a faster heat-up. You’re paying a premium for the lighter body. Across three years, an assumption rather than a published lifespan, that’s roughly ₱51 a week.

Who should buy it

Buy this if portability is the thing you care about most: a two-storey house, frequent car cleaning, or if you’ll be carrying it between family homes. It’s the right choice when weight decides whether a machine gets used. For most people, the Y200-S is the better buy from the same brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the UWANT Y100 and the Y200-S?

The Y200-S lists a 1750W system with a 35-second heat-up, while the Y100 runs a 600W motor and weighs less at 3.4 kg. The Y100 is the lighter, more portable one; the Y200-S is the stronger everyday machine and usually the better buy.

Is 1.2L enough water for a sofa?

For a two-seater or a car interior, usually. That 1.2L is split between clean and waste, so on a full three-seater expect to stop and swap water partway. Every spot cleaner this size works the same way.

Does it clean itself after use?

Yes, it flushes the hose automatically after you're done. That's the step people skip on cheaper machines, and skipping it is why those machines start to smell within a couple of months.

Is it heavy to carry upstairs?

No, and that's its selling point. At 3.4 kg it's the lightest here, so carrying it up to a second floor or out to the car is easy compared to the bigger dual-tank units.
