The Award: What the IFA Innovation Award Means
The IFA Innovation Awards are presented annually by IFA Berlin and honor products that, in the jury’s opinion, push the boundaries of consumer technology. Entries are evaluated based on four criteria: innovation and originality, technical sophistication, user experience, and practical everyday utility. For UWANT, the Honoree Award in the Best in Home Appliances category is the highest honor the company has received since its founding in 2020. At the same time, it sends a signal to the European market, where the brand has only recently begun to expand actively.
Space Chen, Global Head of Product at UWANT, commented on the award: “This recognition is both a validation of our commitment to innovation and a motivation to go even further. As we drive our growth in Europe, we will continue to invest in technology and product innovation to offer consumers better cleaning experiences. This is just the beginning.”
The Swift Series: Two New Models in Detail
At IFA 2026, UWANT is showcasing the Swift series outside of China for the first time. According to the manufacturer, it is designed to combine high cleaning performance with minimal effort for users.
SwiftVac V700 Pro
The award-winning SwiftVac V700 Pro is a self-emptying, cordless vacuum cleaner with a rollerless ShakeSweep brush: Instead of a traditional rotating roller, it swirls up dust and hair at 1,000 movements per minute without trapping hair in it. The charging station uses a dual-chamber separation system to prevent clogs, and the Active HEPA Shake Cleaning function, with 5,000 tapping motions per minute, is designed to clear the filter of trapped dust. Emptying and charging are done via a “push-in” station with a simple press, without having to lift the vacuum cleaner at all.
SwiftWash N600
The SwiftWash N600 combines vacuuming and floor mopping in a single device and, according to UWANT, is lighter and more stable on the floor than the V700 Pro. The padded ErgoArc handle, angled at 52 degrees, is designed to reduce strain on the joints, while a lower-set dual AquaBase tank lowers the device’s center of gravity. As with the V700 Pro, the Dual-Scraper system automatically cleans the HEPA and stainless steel filters with every emptying cycle.

Already available: V800 and DX800 Steam
In addition to the new Swift series, UWANT is also showcasing its two flagship models at its booth, both of which are already on the market. According to the manufacturer, the V800 is considered a pioneer of the rollerless ShakeSweep brush and the Dual Scraper system, both of which are now also featured in the Swift series. Anyone generally interested in cordless vacuums with self-emptying features will find our buying guide for cordless vacuums helpful in understanding what to look for in terms of suction power, battery life, and maintenance.
The DX800 Steam, on the other hand, focuses on disinfection: 160 °C hot steam combines with 80 °C hot water and, according to UWANT, is designed to remove 99.9% of bacteria without chemicals. The body, which is only 9.8 centimeters thick and can be tilted up to 180 degrees, is designed for use even under furniture and in low-clearance areas.
UWANT by the Numbers: Growth Trajectory in Europe
UWANT was founded in Suzhou in 2020 and, according to the company, achieved over 500 million euros in revenue in 2025, as well as selling more than 15 million devices worldwide—including over 7 million anti-dust mite vacuums. According to the company, over 30 percent of its workforce is employed in research and development, and more than 10 percent of annual revenue is reinvested in innovation. In Europe, UWANT already maintains local teams, offices, warehouses, and customer service centers in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, and Hungary, and plans to expand its support to additional countries over the next three to six months.

Conclusion
With the IFA Innovation Award for the SwiftVac V700 Pro, UWANT reinforces its ambition to become more than just another Chinese provider among many in Europe. Whether the Swift series lives up to this promise from a technical standpoint remains to be seen in independent tests. On paper, however, the combination of a brushless design, automatic filter cleaning, and push-to-empty functionality showcased at IFA represents one of the most comprehensive implementations of the self-emptying trend currently being pursued by several manufacturers. Journalists can test the Swift series for themselves through September 8 at Booth 103 in Hall 9; UWANT will arrange interview appointments with Space Chen upon request.
