3i - P10 Ultra

Hello Amandainpdx! I’m deciding between: 1) Dreame L40 And 2) 3i P10 Ultra I would go with your recommendation for the Dreame, but it’s not Prime shipping. And I have 2 dogs, and not sure what they will think of it. With the 3i P10 Ultra being Prime with free returns, so you think this makes better sense? Thanks in advance!

No problem. Thanks again for all of your posts, comments, and quick responses. You really helped me, and I’m sure a bunch of other people too!

Amanda, I hope it’s ok to reach out to you. I purchased the 3i P10, and it’s been fantastic!!! Thank you!! Here’s my question, do you have any insight into ordering replacement bags? The only option I can find is 3 bags for $25 on Amazon. Thanks again for all your reviews and help!!

P10, and honestly, its not that close. The P10 is a fantastic machine that I have no complaints over. I have some issues w the Freo Z, as outlined above, but still think if you are not going to be bothered by them personally, its too good a price to pass up. but on the whole? The P10 is a better machine.

Hey. I've listed every [single price](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nvsulx/every_robovac_on_sale_for_amazon_big_deal_days/) for the Big Deal Days sale, and my recommendations [per price band](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nzbtex/big_deal_day_recommendations_by_price_band_these/). However, I'm getting the same questions over and over, so here's some additional context. # Best Robot for Long Hair (human or pet) Hair is the foil of all robot vacuums. It doesn't just wrap around the rollers, it also gets wrapped around the sweeps and the wheels, and while it doesn't hurt the robot, it will make it less effective, and require you to clean it more often. This isn't a problem with short haired pets (they have a different problem). Yes, having high suction is important, but it doesn't always translate to getting more debris up. In the case of long hair, nothing beats a razor cutter on the robot, and the only line that has one that I recommend is the Eureka J15 line. I like this line a lot for other reasons, too, but if you've got a long hair problem, this is the answer. There are J15s at a number of price points. [Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY) [Eureka J15 Evo Ultra](https://amzn.to/42tMbQF) [Eureka J15 Max Ultra](https://amzn.to/46UkK3x) # Best Robot for Short Haired Pets Now, you have a different problem, which is sticky hair. Short hair sticks to the floor, it climbs the walls, and you need a sweep that will effectively get it off the ground and move it toward the roller, where the vacuum can capture it. The sweep plays a critical role here, and the sweeps that are most effective are large, in constant contact w the ground, and move in opposite directions. Eufy e25/e28 have the right design for this, but I don't recommend them for other reasons. The models that I've found that do this best are the 3i G10, P10 and S10. I love these models for other reasons, but those sweeps seal the deal for me on short hair. It's just a bonus that they are also the only models that can suck up cat litter without clogging. [3i G10+](https://amzn.to/48znS7N) [3i P10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h1Sy3y) [3i S10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4o7hKIe) # Best Robot for Carpet If you've got a whole house of carpet, I like the Dreame X50, Dreame L40, Eureka J15 Ultra, and Switchbot K11+. That's not to say other robots suck at vacuuming, they don't. But I like these models specifically on carpet, and if you've just got one room with carpet, consider getting the K11+ for that room alone. Its cheap and great at navigating under beds, etc. [Dreame X50 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h77Wfa) [Dreame L40 Ultra](https://amzn.to/48Rswhk) [Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY) [SwitchBot Robot Vacuum K11+](https://amzn.to/4mOxq1O) # Best Robot for LVP Lots of people have LVP and want something specialized for it. In truth, there's nothing special about it. A robot good at hard floors will work for LVP. There aren't really robots that leave a lot of water behind anymore. # Best Robot for Area Rugs This is not a model specific problem, its a rug problem. Rugs have to be well anchored to the ground (a grip pad isn't going to cut it forever), and the lower the profile, the better. Think Ruggables. If a rug starts to roll up on an end, the robot is going to have trouble. If a rug has fringe, its a bad match for a robot. Even bathroom rugs are rough for robots. All that said, a robot with a lifting chassis is going to have an easier time getting onto a rug. Think X50, Saros 10/10r, CurvX. [Dreame X50 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h77Wfa) [Roborock Qrevo CurvX](https://amzn.to/48PvS4j) [Saros 10/10r](https://amzn.to/4nyiwy5) # Best Robot for Small Spaces Get a Switchbot K11+. That is all. It's a vacuum only, but costs next to nothing, and is shockingly full of premium features. It also is a effective vacuum, getting into places no other robot can because of its size. [SwitchBot Robot Vacuum K11+](https://amzn.to/4mOxq1O) # Best Robot for Corners This doesn't exist. No robot is great at corners. In fact, most robots aren't great at the "edges" of rooms, they're mostly good at the main open area of a room. You have to let this go. The best you can do is get a robot with extending sweeps/brushes. A lot of robots have these now, and they're one of the best features. # Best Robot if You're Hellbent on a Roller Mop Everyone in this Reddit forum is convinced rollers are the end all/be all of mops. I disagree. They're fine. But if you're just absolutely determined to get one, get the Flow. Eufy's e25/e28 models were riddled with errors, and Dreame's roller mop leaks and streaks. The Flow was easily the best of the bunch. [Narwal Flow](https://amzn.to/3IxMoLX) # Best Robot for People with ADHD Also, my favorite robot. The point of a robot, for me, is autonomy. I want it to do the damn job, with as little required of me as possible. Otherwise, I might as well do the job myself. While most robots do help, they also require upkeep and new, consistent input. Change the water, change the filter, unclog it, find it where it got stuck on a cord, etc. And then, I tried the 3i S10, which i had zero expectations of, because I'd never heard of the brand. This is the robot to get if you're overwhelmed and just want the job done. It vacuums EVERYTHING without clogging. Does it silently. It mops well, and both makes its own water and sanitizes the water it recycles so you never have to change the water. It's got downsides: its effing HUGE and heavy. It looks like an exhibit at a science museum. Its expensive, and some people say it smells musty (it makes water via a dehumidifier, so that makes sense). But readers, I would marry mine.

I shared similar information and advice for [Prime Day](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1ljl8wd/prime_day_deals/), and people were generally pretty [happy](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1m0sjou/amanda_amanda_amanda_the_dreame_l40_is_amazing/) w the recommendations from the feedback.

I don't think anything compares to the S10. Honestly, I don't. A robot you don't have to change the water on? That sucks up giant debris? it's currently 800$ off, so compared to other $1000 robots, its not even close. BUT.... I still think their P10 is a good deal as well. its down to $46. i also really like the J15 lineup, and the Saros 10/10r. Lots of them are great robots, I just think this one is really different.

Hi. I also have long hair, and I'm from AZ so I get the DUST. So, at this budget, you're not going to get it all.... large debris like cheerios you might get away with, but you're absolutely going to have to do a sweep for big baby/kid messes before running the robot. Depends HOW shaggy the carpet is, whether it'll be problematic. But, since you're dealing with long hair, get a [Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY). it has a razor that cuts the hair so its not a problem. When you get it, stock up on extra filters. That AZ dust kills the filters on these vacuums, so change it out every 3 months, and clean it once a month.

Skip both. Get a [Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY) or a [3i P10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h1Sy3y). Short fur makes me lean towards the 3i, but since its half carpet, the J15 is also great. I like that both of these have giant sweeps that are in constant contact with the floor, and are smoking deals under $500.

Get a [Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY). Under budget, cuts long hair, and honestly, you don't need much. no pets, no kids, just dust? Almost anything is going to be great. But this is the one I'd get.

ok. that's helpful. FWIW, I know I stand alone on this, but I think the vibrating pad is much more effective at stain removal than the spinning mops. I'm also one of the only female reviewers and possibly, the only slob. I like the Slim. Have no complaints, but unless you NEED a short robot, get something else. I like [3i P10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h1Sy3y) a LOT. I think the P10 is fantastic if you're a slob (but still not as great as the S10). So, i'd say P10, all the way.

Honestly, you don't need much. You've got a clean floor and you're just looking to keep it clean. Get a [Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY) or a [3i P10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h1Sy3y), but honestly, you may be able to get away with a [3i G10+](https://amzn.to/48znS7N).

I mean, I don't know that's true. if you could stretch, man I'd love to see you w a 3i S10, but its $1100. I think it could handle it all including that maintenance in between. But yeah.... you're gonna need to do some manual work too. I mean, Roombas are not awesome. I'm sorry about the Roborock issue. For that much hair, I guess I'd say, go with a [Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY), but really, all of this is a temporary band aid at best.

nice small space, you just have a lot of hair. Get a [3i P10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h1Sy3y). Its a nice, middle of the road option.

180 hours on my P10 ultra and just one warranty repair. The thing works hard now it's hard to live without it

Was on sale when I woke up. Added a few things to my cart, and the vac was no longer on sale. Bought the P10 instead.

Too late, bought one already. It's replacing a 7+ year old $75 woot vac that barely vacuumed. Any modern vac will be a great upgrade. Thanks for all your recs, BTW!

Ot course p10 pro...it's better in every aspect..it's not really comparable to q5 max+ model.

After months of researching and putting things in-out of my Amazon cart I impulse bought the 3i P10 Ultra. Really wanted the one that cleans its own water but also can’t stand to buy anything that’s not a ‘deal.’ Also put a Mova P50 ultra in and out of my cart all week but decided the 3i sounds better. I did go back and find deals on the Roborocks but none in the parameters I’m looking for, but I might have just missed it. - dog and cat hair, country living (dirt), used daily, would like to have a camera for fun. - needs to be the best bang for my buck via prime day - hopefully vacuums so great I can finally let go of my noisy old Shark AI that I love. Have a missed a better deal? I am at the point where I’m willing to order one of everything just to see!

Following up, I did purchase the P10 Ultra. So far I am very impressed and you did not lead me astray! I followed your settings without ANY pre-cleaning and the P10 (affectionately named Dustin) ate it up. The mop handles my floor very well, and while it left some lines with the first 2 passes, has seemed to even out with more use. I have a schedule set now to do smaller more frequent cleans and its doing great. Had some trial and error with "no mop zones" ending runs but I figured that out. The app also just dropped a firmware update and its doing a much better job at object recognition now. I'll keep it going and we'll see how it goes! But thank you again.

I took a chance on the 3i P10 Ultra and it's worked really well so far.
