Vacuum Wet & Dry| Handheld Mode | Electrolysis (HOCL)+UV Lamp Sterilization| Self Cleaning & Drying
It can effortlessly scrub, vacuum, mop, sterilize & dry pretty much any surface you can imagine, within seconds! It comes with an ingenious, instantly detachable cordless vacuum module that can be used as a stick or handheld vacuum for hard-to-reach areas around your furniture, your window frames, and even in your car!
Waste of time, money & downright frustrating!
Correct me if I am wrong, but don’t you spend AT LEAST 30 minutes per cleaning routine at home?
You know the problem too well: sticky and grimy floors after a single cooking session, disgusting pet waste and stains all over your carpets, and not to mention the non-stop requirement of mopping your floors to keep them sterilized for your loved ones. Let’s not even talk about the dust building up, every single day, in every single corner.
So far we were quite stuck (got it:P?) with the ancient method of sweeping/vacuuming and then mopping with a detergent, which is such a time-waste, money-waste and can literally drive you insane!
Skadu comes with 2 different modes and 5 different attachments, to cover a wide range of surfaces and levels of ingrained dirt and helps you clean a variety of surfaces.
This March, we sent the M1 to beta testers to get real feedback and work out initial kinks. The results were amazing!
We heard how it was super easy to clean up food spills by toddlers at the dinner table. We heard about how Skadu helped free up time from long cleaning routines to play with children. We heard about how it made cleaning fun and exciting instead of a boring chore. More than anything, we heard time and again how satisfying it was to watch Skadu clean a dirty floor in a single pass. We can’t wait to bring the convenience and power of Skadu to your homes!
A small study published in the journal Mindfulness found that participants who engaged in “mindfully cleaning up their home” reported a 27% reduction in nervousness, along with a 25% improvement in “mental inspiration.”Skadu is your dedicated everyday cleaning partner for all the tough-to-clean surfaces you face, and might just add some extra fun to that mental inspiration!
We also provide extra cleaning accessories as add-ons, including brush roller, replacement filters, and cleaning detergents for removing stains. You can add them to your pledge after selecting your reward, at the check-out page.

The first Skadu Power Scrubber was conceptualized by Hannan, who saw his great uncle and aunt struggle with keeping their kitchen clean. He reached out to his brother Juzer who immediately agreed to join him at the beginning of what would become an incredible journey.
Soon after they launched their first Kickstarter campaign and they got an overwhelming response from the backer community! They raised over $400,000/- from backers on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, BackerKit, and their own website hyperlychee.com
Despite the challenges of COVID-19 and the global logistic meltdown of 2020, the Skadu team has delivered 100% of their units to all backers who completed their shipping forms. They offered a 100-day money-back to all their backers and got 1 return from 2672 units shipped.
The Skadu team is focused and growing their portfolio, they recently took part at IFA Berlin 2022 and had an overwhelming response from the tradeshow visitors and wider media.
Skadu M1 is the natural progression of the company to keep innovating and creating products that will help people live better!

Risks and challenges
Unlike most Kickstarter campaigns, Hyper Lychee actually has a working, mass production-ready product (Skadu M1). We believe in making the best product possible and we ave made some big improvements to the design and functionality. This means that not only will we definitely deliver the product to you, but we will also deliver a product that has been perfected through all the feedback we’ve gotten from the early prototype.
We know you have to wait for almost 3 months to get your hands on Skadu, and that might be a long time but be rest assured we won’t leave you with a product that we wouldn’t give our own grandpa and grandma.
The Hyper Lychee team has been designing products for some of the world’s largest corporations, and we have gotten pretty good at it. We also have very reputable and highly qualified manufacturing partners that we are working with.
So we feel that the risk of us not delivering a great working product, as shown above, is close to zero. We are extremely confident and dedicated to delivering our products to everyone.
However, it is important to understand that unexpected things may happen along the way, which is very hard to predict now. For example, delays in shipping can occur due to factors like viruses, travel restrictions, or even, trade wars.
If any delays were to occur due to such circumstances, we will definitely consistently update all our backers with full transparency and of course, aid you with any of the doubts you have along the way.
Environmental commitments

Long-lasting design
We have designed Skadu with the highest quality engineering processes – We use recycle plastics wherever possible and refurbish electronic components wherever possible. We use an official license of Solidworks 2020 Premium (Entrepreneurship Grant) to run various simulation tests on the durability of the product. We check for stress on gear assemblies, and motor performances, and also for unexpected falls to the ground. We have also chosen the highest quality electronics in the market. We have tested a large range of electronics and ensured that the components chosen to build Skadu have survived and surpassed levels of usage that are way above that of the final product.
Reusability and recyclability
All packaging for Skadu is made using environmentally friendly fiber paper and we only use vegetable ink for printing. All Skadu units can be sent back to us once their life term ends so we can appropriately recycle and dispose of what is not recyclable in a responsible way.
Sustainable materials
Cosmetic plastic parts in Skadu are made using recycled plastic whereever possible. For instance, the main body & the attachment exteriors. All packaging Is eco-friendly fibre and vegetable ink.
Environmentally friendly factories
We have made sure that the factory that we are working with are all abiding by the rules and regulations of the government to ensure that all waste is either recycled or disposed off correctly.
Sustainable Distribution
Our distribution partner is one of the largest crowdfunding fulfillment companies that take into account various factors towards sustainable shipping practices, one of them being optimizing the best routes to the last mile delivery.
