What Reddit says about Dreame

“If I can make a suggestion, as you are dealing with a ton of hair, I would recommend a Dreame or Xaomi robot vacuum, and upgrading them the compatible tricut brush. The hair puts a ton of strain on the robot vacuum motor, and the tricut brush literally cuts the hair as it spins so it can easily be sucked up. If you aren't prepared to get an expensive commercial grade robot vacuum, I would recommend getting two robot vacuums to ease the load and to provide backup in case one fails. If you had two Eufy L60 SES models for example, with each robot only being responsible for 1/2 the building each then there is a higher chance of both units surviving long term. I've seen multiple non commercial grade robot vacuums in salons, rental storage facilities, and offices with each robot in charge of a limited amount of space.”

“A vacuuming focused option is best for thick and dense carpet. There’s also the dreame d20 pro plus/mova e30 pro plus which are fur focused vacuuming options and will do well with lots of fur.”

“Please correct me if I am wrong, but this actually looks like Berber carpet, not high-pile. Think of high-pile like a shag rug. It's long and can get tangled or damaged by beater bars and the long shag pieces can stifle the suction of vacuums. Berber is thick and dense but this kind of rug would be good with any mid range robot. We love our Dreame L40 ultra!”

“I bought the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete on Prime day and it cleans really well. Had a significant issue getting it to work the first 3 days because it wouldn’t perform a firmware update, but once we got past that it’s been excellent. It’s my first robot vacuum though, so I have nothing to really compare it to in terms of quality.”

“We got the Dreame X60 Max Ultra about a week ago and have been super impressed. All hardwood with tile in kitchen and bathrooms, mop works really well. We schedule daily cleaning for the middle of the night, so nice to wake up to clean floors every day. Plus it’s funny seeing pics of our cat supervising it in the middle of the night.”

“If your house isn't nasty (so no huge spills or dog poop/pee etc) then spinning pads are fine. We have 2 cats and a child and we use the dreame x50, after a mopping session everything looks clean no swipes or nothing. If you're a cleanfreak a rolling map will most probably be better in terms of absolute hygiene”

“I bought a L10S Ultra last month for my wife. Works infinitely better than the old Roomba with just a bump sensor. I flashed Valetudo on it because IoT vendors are incompetent when it comes to security and I don't need any IoT device talking to the internet. I have mostly hard floor with a few area rugs. It vacuums and mops well, doesn't get stuck on dumb shit like the old one, and is significantly quieter and well. I have mine hooked into home assistant so I can automate cleaning when we're not home in addition to running on schedule. I don't have anything negative to say about it after about 45 days of ownership”

“Dreame and valetudo”

“Have a dreame l20ultra Works perfect, my house is always clean”

“Dreame”

“Mova V50 for homes that are primarily carpet. Mova z60 for mostly hard floors. Dreame also makes great robots such as the L40. The l40 ultra goes on sale for around $300-400 frequently, it was one of the flagship robots back in 2024 and it still cleans as well as the flagships today. The Mova p10 pro ultra is also a great option and comes in around $300-400 as well and is identical to the L40. The l20 and l10 from Dreame are really old at this point and aren't great options.”

“LOL, I agree with that. We ended up with the L40 ultra and are happy so far.”

“Dreame L10s gen 3. Recently released and very powerful.”

“I know the dream x50 is over $500, but I just bought it and upgraded from roomba i4. Holy crap… Roomba i4 isnt even a vacuum.”

“I would add Dreame L10s gen 2 or gen 3 kit: excellent”

“Dreame L40 Ultra is $360, not $400, on black Friday. Case closed.”

“This stood out to me as the best dollar-for-dollar value this Black Friday, and I know if I have issues down the road they’ll take care of me better than Amazon or Dreame.”

“Just did the same. For those looking, it’s branded the Dreame Govac 508 at Costco. Costco return policy can’t be beat.”

“I went Costco x40 as well.”

“I went Costco X40 for $499 with about $150 worth of extras.”

“I noticed something similar with a tripod stand at home and my MOVA V50 Ultra (a souped-up Dreame X50)! It would hump the stands on day one, either hump or correctly avoid the stands (50/50 chance) on day two, and it perfectly navigated around the legs and followed the edges well on day three. This tripod stand is often moved around so I was pleasantly surprised when it was still able to recognize it was the tripod stand and deal with it appropriately (yet it still doesn't register as an obstacle as a base in the app).”

“Remember roller mops require more maintenance and don't do as well to get under cabinets if they don't swing out and from what I'm understanding they don't get under as well because of the plastic casing.. did have e25 eufy but sent back (Amazon doesn't give you your money back right away) .. just FYI.. I've been chatting with somebody that works on these robots and says the pads are going to be the lower maintenance of the two.. and I am not unhappy with my current model freo z ultra.. not real thrilled with the vacuuming of it I preferred dreamies a little bit more and eufy e25 was better at vacuuming.. and if you have lvp which I do which is expensive you need it to have less water on the floor and it can't be real hot or you can ruin your floors and I paid a lot of money for my floors!”

“Vacuum Wars is legit. Go Dreame L20 Ultra or Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. They're great for LVT, rugs, clutter, and low maintenance. Should last 3–5 yrs with basic upkeep.”

“I agree. Love the X50 so much!”

“I bought an L30 in 2023 and it's DOPE. It still runs great and customer support recently sent me a replacement part for free. They're legit. I'm buying my GF one for Christmas.”

“Solid review! I’ve been eyeing the X50 and your take on the thresholds + mop washing sold me. Price still stings but sounds like it’s actually worth it compared to the usual “premium” bots.”

“X50 is a beast!”

“Love my X40 Ultra. Hard to go wrong with the majority of these Chinese robovac flagships these days.”

“I have a long haired corgi who I suspect is part alien for how big he is! I sometimes check the dustbin before it autoempties and wow that’s a lot of fur that would have choked my old robot up which is why I’d run my old one twice a day. I can now run my new one once a day. I use a similar model too, the MOVA v50.”

“YES! I have 2 French Bulldogs and they shed like crazy! I love that I can vacuum hard floors and carpets first, then mop my hardwoods after.”

“Add the L40 to the list. I upgraded a month ago from the L10s and the ONLY thing I need to do is refill/dispose water. The pads still look and smell fresh and the self-cleaning base is amazing. If you want low maintenance, detachable mop pads are crucial. I returned the dreame aqua 10 and ecovac x11 because the amount of maintenance required, which will likely apply to any roller style mop.”

“L40 ultra depuis un an. 2 ados, pas d’animal. Maison 132m2 1 fois par semaine : 5 minutes grand max pour ranger la maison, ouvrir les portes, mettre certaines chaises sur les tables afin de faciliter le travail du robot. Lancement du cycle complet de toute la maison au moment où je pars de chez moi. Le robot mets environ 2 heures. Quand je reviens, 3 minutes pour : Vider l’eau sale et rincer le fond à l’eau chaude. Passer un peu les doigts au fond pour le dépôt. Remplir l’eau propre. remettre les chaises, fermer les portes. Donc chaque semaine, 8 minutes de « travail » Et une fois tous les 2 mois : Environ 20 minutes pour : -taper le filtre -nettoyer le petit bac à poussière -nettoyer la base sous les serpillières -démonter la brosse rotative pour sortir des cheveux -chiffon sur les capteurs -démonter le roue avant pour sortir les cheveux Donc tous les 2 mois, 20 minutes de travail Et c’est tout !!! Il y a aussi tout le temps perdu à me dire : cet engin est mon meilleur achat de ces 30 dernières années. C’est fantastique, mes sols sont propres et je ne fais quasiment plus rien.”

“My Dreame X50 or L50 are pretty low maintenance. I fill up the water tank and dump the dirty water every 5 days or so. That’s about it.”

“Dreame L50 Ultra”

“My Eufy C10 is super low maintenance (but it’s also vacuum only). I change the bag maybe once every two months and the roller and brushes as needed (every few months). My Dreame x40 Ultra is really low maintenance. The most often thing I do I change the clean and waste water tanks (once a week). I also wipe the sensors at the same time.”

“Roborock Qrevo Curv and basically any Dreame robot + TriCut brush 2.0”

“I got the Dreame L40 Ultra for 400 during Wintertime and it's been surprisingly great. I spent a long-ass time reading the entire Valetudo website, picked one that I knew worked with Valetudo, then decided not to install the firmware lmao. :s”

“To add to this, the Dreams X40 is the most feature rich vacuum that supports Valetudo.”

“I got a d10 plus cheap about a year and a half ago, she's a champ! Not super duper feature rich, but it's been robust being that it runs alongside all the xiaomi stuff. Map and everything sets up nice with home assistant also!”

“I have dreame l10s ultra but other commenters have their own suggestions as well”

“I have the dreame x40 ultra. I call it Optimus prime. I love my vacuum. Software is easy and the robot does a pretty good job. I still have to vacuum and mop every now and then, but my apartment is always clean.”

“I have a Dreame L10S Ultra. the only other robovac that I had was an old eufy that didn't have a base. I really like the Dreame. it mops and vacs, but doesn't mop super well. it's good enough to keep it looking nice but I definitely need to manually mop like once a month or something”

“Xiaomi own Roborock, Dreame & Mova so you don’t actually get as much choice as you think. I went Dreame as they can be easily rooted to make them local only.”

“I used the Dreame X50 back when it came out. It worked pretty good for a while but it kept getting stuck underneath one of my beds because the floor was uneven lol so I upgraded to the X60 since my sales rep said it was slimmer and better than the X50. She gave me a pretty good deal on it too. I can share her contact with you if you’re interested! For reference: I have 2 small dogs that shed occasionally and both my sister and I have long hair. We share a 4,500 sqft home with hardwood floors, tiles in bathrooms, and a bunch rugs in some areas for our dogs lol”

“I've been using a Eufy e25 for the last 3 weeks now. It's been running really well without any issues. It uses the dual brush anti tangle design that the Dreame use. I like that for around 500$ it has a roller mop and the anti tangle design. I inspected everything on it last night and there were no hair tangles or anything on it that would have happened quite easily on my older roborock s7 max ultra with my wifes hair. People are also recommending the Dreame x50 or x60 of which I would say to also go for.”

“The x50 is really good. Its got dual tangle proof brushes. 0 hair wraps in 6 months of use.”

“Our Narwal is fantastic in not getting any hairs stuck in its brush. But as a general point. Our experience is that the type of roller material is not as important regatding hair tangles. Silicon mihht be easier to get stuck hair off than one with bristles but what you really need are brushes that either have their own cutters fixed to the robot (Dreame seems to use such solutions) or bruahes that are only fixed on one side so that the robot can push the hair to the open side and suck it up from there”

“I got the Dreame X50 Ultra and I really like it. It offers great suction power which is more than enough to tackle pet hair and dirt. The mop works great too.”

“Best model for 2025 release in the US is probably Dreame’s X50 Ultra as it seems to best meet all your needs. Currently, I do not think any current models will sufficiently meet your requirements as the current models have some drawback in the requirement you have mentioned. Dreame X/L40 Ultra compared to X50 Compared to the X50 Ultra: Double brush system has worked much better on carpets than with the TriCut brush. Both approaches perform just as well on hard floors. Dreame’s X50 Ultra’s double brush performs better on carpet. For some reason, the bristle brushes on all the older models (rubber and bristle combo brush and the TriCut brush) liked to eat some of the fiber on my low pile densely packed carpet. I’m not sure if this is universally applicable to all carpets as I haven’t seen other people report this issue. However the second bristle and rubber combo brush on the X50 Ultra did not do any of that on my carpet. It can’t clean its own filter like the X50 and the X50’s AceClean mop cleaning system with water jets are much better at self cleaning the washboard than the X40 Ultra’s washboard with wipers. The X40 washboard also has some difficult to clean areas and little nooks and crannies that I didn’t really like cleaning If you have furniture with low clearance (under 10cm): the X40 cannot make it under there whereas the x50’s retracting lidar can. If you have high thresholds above 24mm, you’d appreciate the Dreame’s new threshold climbing legs No ability to compress the fur in the dust box while it is vacuuming to maximize the use of the dustbin volume. Roborock’s obstacle avoidance isn’t as good as dreame.”

“Stay away from these no-name brands. Stick with Roborock, Dreame, Eufy, Irobot, and Shark. Roborock Q5 is a great deal at the moment. The no-name brands are almost always worse in functionality, much harder to get spare brushes and filters for, impossible to get other parts for etc.”

“Both Roomba and Shark are years behind the market leaders in almost every single aspect. Try looking at Roborock, Dreame or Eufy.”

“Narwal Freo Z Ultra is the best robot mop but an ok vacuum. It does not have an internal water tank so this means it’ll have to frequently go back to the station to rewet its mops. This shouldn’t be a problem if your house isn’t very big. If it is, consider the other two models with an internal water tank. I’ve also heard mixed reviews about NarWal’s customer service. As for the app, I’m not so sure but I think it’s on par with the other brands (please correct me if I’m wrong). As the robot’s home is behind furniture, I’d recommend a model that has a self cleaning base station. Narwal doesn’t have this but I believe the next two models do. Dreame’s L/X40 has similar computer vision smarts and can extend and swing its extended mop under areas like the fridge where stains tend to accumulate with better vacuuming performance than the Freo Z. There’s currently no other model in the international market that can do this (NarWal’s 001 Max is still only available in mainland China). I’ve heard mixed reactions when it comes to its international customer service. The app is feature rich but means the UI will be more complicated. The QRevo Curv/Edge can also be considered but won’t have as amazing computer vision smarts as the previous two models. However, I heard the app has the best UI and that customer service can be mixed.”

“We have a Dreame X40 Ultra with the Tricut brush. 3 dogs, 2 cats. Working great with no issues so far.”

“Nice thanks. Recommendation if you want a roller mop (can clean wet spills, applies fresh water during mopping, but has more moving parts and more maintanence) Mova v60 ultra complete Narwal flow If you want a spinning mop: Dreame L50 Ultra Roborock Qrevo Curv X Mova V50 ultra complete All good options. Can’t go wrong here”

“I will say I got a Roborock s7 MaxV and had it since April 2022 and it was rock solid. I sold it this month and it still worked just fine. I have a Dreame l40 ultra which is really good for the price but I may return and go back to Roborock.”

“Have had two, dreame and Xiaomi. Both broke within warranty period. Dreame just took it back with no questions, the Xiaomi is still being repaired…must cost them much more than the machine itself”

“I've got Dreame L40 Ultra for a couple of months already and I'm blown away. It has a rather bulky main station but hey - it's mopping up nicely, you add clean water and forget about it for some time. Same with dust - it auto empties into a bigger bag. Plus, the app has lots of settings with smth that was important for me - setting a different levels of moisture used for mopping for different rooms - having wooden floors in some of the rooms I'd rather avoid having floors too wet so I can set up a routine where everything is cleaned the way I want it.”

“I own a dreamme X50 ultra. It’s pretty great, cleans most of the stuff, including corners. Very thorough. I wish the battery capacity was much bigger. It took a while for it to understand and map the whole house. Although it should go underneath the sofa because it’s height is within range but it doesn’t. It can step up and step down a little. So far so good. I haven’t really communicated with the customer service team so no idea how good or bad it is”

“I love my dreame, it doesn't get stuck and really really cleans. it can both vacuum and mop and the floors have never been cleaner.”

“L50 gets 100 out of 100 as the only one”

“dreame x60 ultra or the master when it comes out if you want to be able to plumb it, really not much better than that”

“Some observations: A number of robots advertise a headlight of sorts for night cleaning. I would recommend one of these. Other models advertise that they don't need visible light, but I would be skeptical. Obstacle avoidance tends to be a feature where you get what you pay for. Dreame, Narwal, and Eufy seem to have better obstacle avoidance than other brands, though I would still check reviews to be sure. You're almost certainly going to do better with a newer model for longevity than your Roomba. Until last year, iRobot robots were known for poor navigation and poor efficency due to their lack of LIDAR. Any newer robot with some form of LIDAR will almost certainly do better. That said, 4000 square feet is huge. Look for the biggest battery you can find. Averages these days are around 5000 milli-amp-hours (mAh), which for you should be considered a lower bound. Also, you might look at Ecovacs models with their PowerBoost feature; it fast recharges the battery during routine stops for mop washing and the like, which both extends the cleaning time for the first cleaning and reduces the downtime for the inevitable recharge. Pretty much all robots these days have a quiet mode of some kind. Mops have come a long way since your Braava. Many have single flat pads on the rear half of the robot; these are not very good. An exception is Roborock's flat pads that vibrate. Generally, you'll want to stick with either two round-ish spinning pads on the back, or a roller-style mop. (I include robots like the Narwal Flow in this category, with more of a flat track than a round roller.) Each kind has advantages and disadvantages, so you'll want to look closely to see what you prefer. Nearly all self-empty stations will let you ignore the dustbin for at least a month at a time. I've replaced the bag in my Eufy S1 Pro three times since I bought it a year and three months ago. Cleaning the filter and dustbin on the robot is still important, though, so you'll want to check how often the vendor recommends doing that. Note that bagless vacuums are the norm today, but bagless self-empty stations for robots have drawbacks that you should be aware of; since the bag acts as a filter, bagless models need regular filter maintenance on the dock as well as the robot. You mention water hook-ups. A few models from Roborock, Dreame, Eufy, Narwal, and SwitchBot support direct water lines for both filling and emptying. In some cases, the vendor makes special models that support the lines; in others, the vendor sells a water hook-up kit. I would be skeptical of third-party kits, but kits designed by the vendor for the vendor's robots should be fine. Everyone seems to be recommending the robot they like/have. That's fine, but don't let it confuse or overwhelm you. In particular, I wouldn't buy a robot that hasn't been on the market for at least a few months, and that has few to no independent reviews. Most robots have problems when first released, which the influencers and paid reviews won't tell you about.”

“There is no best robot but I recommend the Narwal flow, Mova z60 ultra roller, or Dreame L50 ultra”

“I recently got a Dreame X40 Ultra on sale from Amazon for about $500 (it was $1900 when it first came out in mid-2024) and am so far thrilled with it. It’s a meticulous and smart robot that seems to learn quickly and detects everything well thus far. I was actually surprised at how good my floors looked after the first global cleaning, and it picked up so much! While it self empties into its base, I had the opportunity to see its internal bin twice during the cleaning because once it sucked up a screw and washer that I needed to remove, and another time it got string caught many times around its roller, and I was shocked at how much dust and lint and hair was in the bin, pretty tightly packed. I emptied it into the trash just to save it from having to do so at the base. I believe our house is about 3500 sf, and until very recently we had a cat, so I expected the first time to be a lot. I’ve now set it to vacuum and mop the kitchen and den (most used areas) daily in the early morning, and I’ll figure out how often to do the rest of the house over the coming days. Because it does handle itself so well, I trust it to start working before I get up. I also WFH so will be able to see how it’s doing and make any necessary adjustments as needed. I bought the tri-cut roller ($19) to replace the roller it comes with, and I recommend that for anyone with pets or long hair because it cuts hair into small pieces. Last I checked, Amazon also had the L50 Ultra on sale for $850. I had not had a robot vacuum/mop in years and the last one I had was really crappy, so I didn’t want to pay that much if there was a risk of it being crappy or only good for a couple of months (they are almost all made in China; I think of it like playing Russian roulette), but that one currently has top rating on Vacuum Wars, if cost is no issue. But the X40 has everything I wanted, good obstacle detection, swing out brush and mop to get edges and corners, self emptying and cleaning, with hot water. It is also my understanding that the X series is a bit better made and has better AI and sensors than L series, so hopefully that means more durability/longevity. They are also so customizable! Like, you can tell it to use extra or intense suction on carpets, or to go over areas more than once, or to concentrate more on particular areas, etc. it will take some time to customize it perfectly for my home, but I find it to be really fun and interesting to change the settings and see how it responds. X40 Ultra also has headlight for dark, Lidar/2 lasers plus a camera, optional remote control, takes pictures, etc. Lots of features.”

“X40 master is probably the only one out right now that would fit in the cabinet like you want. American markets weren’t deemed good enough for a X50 master and it looks like the same is happening for the X60”

“L50 pro ultra seems to be able to do it. Battery wise not at once. But it can even follow the grain of your floor. It has avoid and silence modus. There's an option to add it to plumbing”

“We just got the dreame aqua10 roller So far: It has a pet mode (we haven't tested yet) that is supposed to avoid pets as well, but alas, our dog avoids the vacuum already It avoids humans - worked It detects risky obstacles - so far it hasnt gotten stuck yet and has correctly put locations where cables are on the map, once I forgot to put shoes on top of the stairs and it detected and pinned those on the map too, it avoided running them over. It also detects when it goes from hard floor to rugs and when it goes under a tight lower space It did cover considerable floor space without charging first time we ran it was 57m² at normal speed + mopping, we ran it a second time in sequence but it then did 42m² and had to charge. During its normal process it will go between the dock and last place cleaned to empty and rinse. It has various levels of sucking you can set it to and you can chose to mop + vacuum, only mop, only vacuum, and choose rooms or specific spots. It has its own light so even with lights off or under the broader corner couch it will just keep running without issues. We did worry bc it did a test run and tried to go up our (cross shaped) table legs but once it had done all mapping, it perfectly avoided it. With more complex tighter spaces it will attempt to go clean as closely as possible, at various attempts but didnt get stuck. It also did a software update immediately once we connected it after unboxing, I assume it will also keep its detection AI updated. We read reviews that the roller dock did leak in some rare instances, but another review mentioned a newer run doesn't have the same issue, so we bit the bullet and ours is still leak proof at least. You have to refill and empty the water reservoirs after each use as recommended, but it does save a lot of effort. Only downsides so far: expensive refills - but it's like once 6 months roughly according to the manual... Well see, fiancee thinks it is worth it Spot cleaning by hand for sticky spots still works best, and you might want to do manual cleaning of tight corners and spots it can't come every once in a while. But it def saves in upkeep, I don't think other vacs do it better probs When it vacuums rugs it vacuums a bit louder It is reaaallly loud when it vacuums the robot reservoir in the docking station.”

“We got a dreame ultra last month for Christmas and it's the best thing that ever happened to me. No joke. We have two cats and carpeted bedrooms. It even has a cat cam and meows to them like?? Hands down great investment”

“Dreame L40 S pro ultra”

“I just unwrapped the Dreame D20 Pro and it’s love. 3 kids, 2 dogs + a cat - mostly hardwood with 3 low pile mats. It’s so quiet when it’s running I was shocked. The self empty is canister vacuum loud for the 15seconds it runs. Has no issue with obstacles. We don’t have huge sq. ft and it copes fine.”

“We have the dreame matrix 10 ultra and absolutely love it. But it is pricey but worth it to us. We got it on sale for $1399…very lucky 🍀 it does everything as advertised however we just got it (this model came out in September).”

“I got the Dreame X40 from Costco and love it!”

“mine is the drreamee x50 ultra. our kitchen gets sticky spots pretty often, so i have it go back to wash the mop frequently. that keep the pads from dragging the same mess around, aand it goes around dog toys and marks them on the map too. ive seen a lot of robot vacuum deals lately, so it might be a good time to see where this one lands”

“Not sure I'm much help, just got the x60 Ultra and I'm really impressed with it's performance (more so vacuuming). 90% of my flooring is hardwood, the rest is tile. We have 3 dogs of which one is a heavy shedding GSD. 2100 sqft home. It sucks up dog hair and empties the dust bin very well. Can't speak to long term reliably just yet so we'll see. And the obstacle avoidance is superb!”

“I prefer to use only distilled water for it to run. Maybe the limescale kills it?But I have pets and carpets and it manages to suck it all everyday. At 30000Pa suction I don’t know what other robot can compete with it. And it can climb steps up to 4cm”

“I know some people complain about Dreame robots but I have 2 and I am very happy with them. The last one being L50S Ultra Pro and it does a great job, running daily.”

“I got a Dreame GoVac 508 and it’s fantastic. App works well. The vacuum and mop features both work shockingly well. Little maintenance. Whatever Dreame vac/mop combo is available will be great. Highly recommend.”

“Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 or Mova P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2 which ever is cheapest.”

“I love my Dreame L40S Ultra. Refurbs are $300 or less with full 2 year warranty on Dreames eBay store. It does both vac and mop well and has the heated cleaning for the pads.”

“Only had it for 1 month but the Dreams L40 Ultra has been doing really well with my golden retriever hair. In the UK it came with the cutting brush and it’s had zero tangles”

“Dreame D10 Plus with tricut brush”

“My Dreame F9 has been running since 2021.”

“Have had the L40 ultra for a year and a half now and still love it. Doesn’t have a ton of crazy features but it just works for what we need it for.”

“I got the L40 ultra a few weeks ago and I am SO in love with it. Two cats and a dog and it’s made such a difference.”

“We've got the Dreame L40s Ultra AE and it's been practically lifechanging. We could never keep up with our 2 large dogs and cat's constant shedding and tracking crap in from the outside. I run it every night on the higher traffic areas so it's always a nice feeling to wake up to clean floors.”

“I've had Mova, Dreame, Roomba but my favorite so far is Dreame L60 Ultra. Very slim and gets under my furniture where the others don't. None are perfect and I don't think one exists.”

“Dreame L10s Pro Ultra Heat Robot Vacuum and Mop with Auto Empty and Mop Self-Cleaning - Love this guy. A lot.”

“I would recommend my Dreame X50. Minimal issues after 8 months.”

“Dreame X60 Pro Ultra ftw!”

“my l60 pe mostly handles cat hair around our place. my cat sheds a ton, and my old bot had me cleaning the roller every couple of days. now i check it about once a week, and there's way less hair to deal with”

“Didn’t watch, but I bought a Dreame Aqua 10 roller and I am very happy with it. The house is cleaner than it ever was. The mopping works great and with the dock you don’t need to empty the dustbin every day. In my opinion it is worth the money. It saves me a lot of work and house cleaners are much more expensive, even though they can do more chores.”

“Dreame L40s Ultra Pro. Don’t get me wrong, it has quirks and issues but all in all I was surprised at how good it was.”

“I have all 3. Dreame x60 mova p10 mova p50. I'd say if you don't care about budget at all then get flagship. But you wouldn't be asking reddit . So get mid tier or the p10. They are really good now and the x60 is not 5x better than p10. Or 2x better than p50. Buy the x60 if you absolutely need thee extra clearance underneath your furniture. Otherwise get something cheaper. The p10 is just too good of a value.”

“Picked up an X40 Ultra on sale for $500 about 6 months ago and put Valetudo on it. Complicated process, but it's working great, and I love having a locally controlled vacuum”

“It’s not the best model and probably not the best brand out there, but I’m very very happy with my Dreame E30 Ultra that I got from Costco. Self-emptying, decent cleaning, vacuums + washes. It takes a few hours to do my 900sqft condo, but it kinda just goes to charge, refill and do whatever else on its own. I just start it and forget about it unless the tanks need tending to (empty dirty/add clean water)”

“easy peasy. its beteen the saros and dreame, the roomba is laughable, and the e28 has a lot of errors. I prefer the Saros.”

“I am in the same boat. I've stood by Shark, but after three units in as many years, third strike you're out. I see the concesous here is Dreame or Roborock so I'm on day two of researching here while utilizing ChatGPT and honestly, I have no idea what I want based on so many options out there, but I don't want to break the bank on this either. I need something reliable as we live in the AZ desert with 1800 sqft of LVP/tile, four humans, two dogs (pitty and yorkiepoo with their dog door), a long haired hamster who gets bedding all over the house.”

“If having the best mopping performance is one of your main goals then e28. If you want the best balance of performance and reliability with great suction power, Saros 10r . If you’re not in a rush, wait for Roborock or Dreame to release a roller or tack mop option. I couldn’t bring myself to spend that much on a device with spin mops. Just save the money and get a Mova p50 pro ultra or Dreame l40 ultra in that case. The roomba shouldn’t even be on your list.”

“Roomba isn't the best at combo robots compared to Roborock and Dreame which make better all-rounded combos. Roborock seems to be rather reliable. I'd also consider MOVA's V50 Ultra which is better suited for pet households since there's the ability for the robot to choose between regular cleaning solution and a pet-odor neutralization solution! I consider the V50 Ultra to be an upgrade over the X50 Ultra. Alternatively, I'd wait for Dreame's Aqua 10 Pro Track to release, as it appears to be the best overall combination robot vacuum and mop with a roller mop. :)”

“yeah a few newer ones have the mop extender style now, not just dreame. tried eufy, looked at dreame, wasn’t blown away long term. ended up switching to a mova and the mopping’s been more consistent for me, less streaky on tiles. not perfect obviously, but solid for daily runs. under $800 you’ve got decent options tbh”

“I had a Roborock that died and we decided to swap to Dreame since it gets good online reviews. I don’t think we should have shifted. Maybe the Dreame is better on paper but I know the roborock’s quirks.”

“I have an x9 it never clogged my aqua 10 5 out of 10 times.”

“Just as an fyi for other buyers, my experience: this robot does a great job cleaning, when it cleans. It is 50/50 whether it gets stuck on a threshold ramp, and is 50/50 whether it decides it can extend legs and get over a 1cm threshold (which is designed up to 8, 4+4cm). Support has been useless re. Fixes and were looking to refund. Pathing is shocking and will spend a lot of time cleaning rooms in the most bizarre way. Lastly, when going to a new room it vacuums the entire way wasting charge (frustrating when it needs to charge twice to clean our house on minimum settings). With a dog it has jammed up the vacuum hole with dog fur even though running daily (seems to be a design issue). Overall I would NOT purchase again, even though my mum has one as well and it works perfectly (more open plan without thresholds). When it cleans though, it does a good job, but can just get stuck or not clean rooms.”

“I got the x50 ultra and it sucks..”

“Had a Roborockfor 5 years and when it bit the dust decided to try the dream ls40 or something. I hate it. Wish I would have gotten another Roborock.”

“The Dreame subreddit is full of posts that talk about how bad the robots are at mapping and navigating and how terrible their support is. All of those posts have comments from people talking about how wonderful their robots are. I've written various posts and comments about the issues with my flagship Dreame x50 Ultra and my issues are completely dismissed as being my fault entirely. So while on one hand the physical hardware seems great their software is absolute ass and I can't recommend a Dreame even if it checks all your boxes hardware wise. I will also not recommend a Shark because even though my stupid shark robots have been 100% reliable their support makes you actually call them, no email or chat. They also don't support matter, have any sort of API, and like to break shit without warning and are reluctant to acknowledge what they broke if at all.”

“We are proud owners of two very hairy Labradors. I’ve had two Dreame L20 ultra units in the last 12 months and both had the same issue of not emptying the collection box so it was remaining jammed full of dog hair. The second unit is now back with Dreame who have promised to replace it with a new unit (their customer support in the UK is seriously lacking. I had to fight every step of the way and it took over 3 weeks just to get a returns number from them. I personally found the rest of the unit good, but would never buy another Dreame machine because of their lack of customer support) Literally ordered the new Eufy S1 pro which has arrived today but I’ve not had time to unpack it yet. You mentioned above that you didn’t know the brand Eufy, they are a division of Anker (high quality chargers etc) so I have every confidence the build quality will be good.”

“I've been replacing my robot vacuums every month or so in the past 8 months due to all the issues it faces, trust me, dreame roborock and Eufy are by far the worse with quality control. I am pleased to say that it's been 2 months with my Ecovacs x11 omni cyclone and no major issues or fault yet! 🤞🏼 I dislike the fact that you cannot easily clean the roller mop housing and it needs weekly maintenance. The fucking side brush breaks like there's no tomorrow , thank god for AliExpress but it is definitely some form of design errors, but it's not as bad as others I've had. Otherwise everything else had been great, no more bag replacements too. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 PS: it is much slower at cleaning than most I've owned BUT it cleans well and it has that powerboost charging. ✌🏼”

“From what I've seen from my parents dreamme, I'll stick with my roborock.You cannot even set the name of a room to whatever you want, only choose from a predefined list.And you cannot vacuum your carpets first with dry mops before it vacuums and mops the rest.”

“The Roborock Curv, Dreame vacuums with the tri cut brush as the other person mentioned, and Narwarl Freo Z Ultra are probably the ones you want. Curv and Freo Z have brushes that are designed to pick up the hair and then the hair travels along the brush until it falls of the brush and is vacuumed up. The Dreame one cuts the brush, however the brush design results in weaker debris pick up.”

“Good question. I was testing the Dreame X50 and it was getting stuck on a particular chair, for no real good reason. It happened on day one and day two. On day three, it approached the chair differently, and on day four, it managed to get around the chair entirely. According to Dreame, this was an example of the AI in action, learning, rather than mere navigation. The ability to navigate a space over and over again is a good way to test the AI. Is it subjective? Sure. But that's my entire point- there's room for subjectivity in how we review these bots, not just objectivity.”

“I have a couple of the older or really low end ones and wouldn't really recommend as someone's first vacuum robot because they're all missing some feature or built to a price point with major compromises. Its not worth buying something you can't just trust to do the job and ultimately won't use. I'd put all the current sub $250 robots in this category. There are several Dreame/Mova models that use the Tricut brush (add on) and that's great for a pet household and may push you to the lowest really good price point. Other newer technology by other brands to avoid hair wrap around the main rollers - like having multiple rollers work well too. Modern equivalent of what I have with daily and sometimes multiple route a day use. Eufy 11S - low price bounce navigation robot. I have a 7 year old model and parts are really cheap to keep it operating but it doesn't clean all that well. Using in a low traffic area and still requires daily emptying. Dreame D20 Air Plus - current sub $200 robot. Good vacuum and self emptying into large bag. Obstacle avoidance okay but not great. Not a passable mop. Vacuum very susceptible for hair wrap though, and for that reason hasn't been great in our pet household. Good, but still have to interact with it routinely to clear the roller. This is a daily interaction for me currently as well. Mova P10 Pro Ultra - $350 range robot. Tricut brush available in generic brand for another $20. This is the lowest price point for something that just works without interaction in my opinion. Base station vacuum bag is relatively small for a pet owner with a lot of carpet, but the robot will go without interaction for a week or more with no interaction. Mopping works well. Obstacle avoidance great. I do really like the Dreame/Mova integration with Home Assistant and ultimately that's probably what will keep me with their robots for any future purchases. Its been nice to automate sweeping the litter box area when cats clear out for instance.”

“Roborock dreame ecovacs I personally use Roborock saros 10R.”

“I have a dreame l20 ultra. It looks really well, but the vacuum gets clogged with dog fur immediately and then just rolls the rest around and forms clumps. It's still better than vacuuming manually because I can just pick up the clumps. I'm thinking about being in a second vacuum to help with the fur. I have one big dog. My old Roomba never had a problem with two big dogs (one was the same and the other shed waaay more). I'm interested in this thread to see which is best for fur.”

“I have this one, too, and the Home Assistant integration is pretty good. I don't need to use the crappy Dreame app.”

“As a warning from someone also looking into buying a robot vac. If you head over to Dreame’s Reddit page it turns out their customer service is diabolical and only around 80% of the units work. However the units that do work are very good”

“I second the Freo Z. The gals in my home shed 2' long hairs, that have brought every other vac to their knees. Haven't seen a single hair trapped on the roller of the Freo Z so far. And I did check the bin to make sure it was picking some up and it was full of hair. Very impressive. These single-ended roller designs seem to be more effective than cutting solutions from Dreame and others.”

“I’d say it’s mixed. I had a user say they had a great experience with only a few customer service support agents in the North American region. Customer service quality mainly depends on the purchasing region.”

“4K hours on my Roborock s8 maxV ultra, not one problem so far, I do biweekly maintenance. 1 golden retriever, and runs 2 a day! I love Roborock, still not impressed with the current saros lineup, if they not do a little more I will try a dreame product like the up coming aqua 10 pro”

“Only have had one, Roomba S9+, and after 3.5 years it has a wheel that is loose or something, and a scratched faceplate that prevents it from docking. I find it super frustrating that I can't see where it is until it ends a job, and that I can't get it to clean a specific area without creating a permanent new zone. I also have to be careful to pick everything up or it will get stuck after destroying my kids toys. I don't recommend it. I'm in the market for a new one and Roborock comes up a lot here. Dreame is supposed to be better for object avoiding but I also need good homeassistant integration and that seems to be lagging. So I'm at an impasse.”

“Thank you. I’ve been stuck between the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller, NARWAL Flow, and the DREAME Aqua10 Ultra for the longest time and have a 900sqm home. This excel made me the realize the NARWAL Flow is the obvious choice. Although I saw the Roborock Curv 2 Flow recently launched in Singapore and I’m curious to see how that compares, tho that means I’d have to wait for God knows how long cuz idk when they’re gonna release it in the EU.”

“This might be a dumb question, but why is Dreame the #1 pick when Ecovacs X11 is pretty much superior in every single category except for carpet cleaning and "best for pets"? Is it because of the price?”

“Thank you for this painting; The ecovacs seems to be the best, it would even surpass Dreame Aqua roller…”

“To be honest every brand seems to suck in different ways or at different times, and it's somewhat luck of the draw on getting a good unit and not having weird issues with navigating or the apps. For pet hair the roborock duodivide or Dreame/mova hyperstream brushes seem to be the best. Designed to funnel hair wraps to the ends or middle.”

“Heb een dreame x50 en een roomba (7 jaar oud). Roomba werkt nog als nieuw.”

“It’s an OK vacuum, but my mop pads stopped getting wet after a year of using them, despite priming the pipes inside both the dock and on the vacuum. Good obstacle avoidance and suction.”

“I feel mid range (no funky new tech) with grounded features are the best. It’s a good value proposition and I won’t be too mad if it misses here and there. About reviews - it can get tricky. Remember researching around Roborock, Dreame, Eufy, a year or so ago. Kinda landed on the Dreame L10s ultra but took a chance on the Xiaomi X20 Max as I didn’t want a camera. Worked out really well. I did end up buying the Dreame for my mum, and she absolutely hates the thing haha. Different people different strokes.”
