Dreame - Aqua 10 Pro Track

It's already looking bad because I downloaded the Dreame app and not seeing the device in the list, I contacted customer service. They informed me that the release is only planned for the end of September and that the application will only be available at that time... They originally told me that it was not possible to have ordered the item on Amazon and that it was a scam and after checking, they changed their minds and do not understand how it is that the item is available and in Prime Amazon... They reported the problem to the technical service to find a solution so that I can use the vacuum cleaners upon receipt (tomorrow unless there is a delay...)... In any case, I told them that it was unthinkable to end up with 2 unusable bricks due to a logistical problem... I also looked on Amazon IT and DE and they just appeared in stock for delivery on Friday now... EDIT : oh Aqua10 Ultra TRACK Complete just appear on Amazon. For the moment, delivery with Prime at 6 october. Ref number white RLR81CE-1

Yes, it's been running every day since Wednesday. It's a good robot overall, but I'm still a little disappointed with the mop's performance on stubborn stains compared to my Eufy S1. Watching the Smartassitant review on YouTube, we can even see that the Mova Z60 is better than the Roller in this area. I did notice a difference, however, that it wasn't as good on stubborn stains (dry ketchup). Probably because the Eufy S1 Pro has almost the same pressure but rotates at 170 rpm compared to 100 rpm for the Dreame. The stain recognition algorithm largely compensates for this difference (as soon as it detects a stain, it slows down as it passes over it in several pass). I ordered an Aqua10 Ultra Track Complete at the end of last week to test the mop's performance with hot water and a pressure of 18N (instead of 9-11N for the Roller). On paper, it should be better. Afterwards, it loses a little in suction power and perhaps in navigation... It just shipped and according to Amazon tracking, it should arrive very soon. I hope to be able to try this out on Wednesday by doing side-by-side tests between the Roller and the Track.

Yes, it works for pets. Even the Aqua10 Track with 25kPa works. I have a short-haired dog and I use the Aqua10 Roller and Track daily, and for that part, it works. However, I don't know if the vacuums produce 25kPa and 30kPa. In any case, I don't see any greater improvement than a Eufy S1 Pro with 8kPa at MAX suction. I didn't understand when you were talking about it stopping if it blocks the way? If you're talking about if your dog goes in front of it, yes, it will go around it (and take a video of it if you activate the animal monitoring option) and if you activate the option to return at the end of cleaning on the blocking places, it will come back to clean this area at the end

Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track **

If in Singapore, mainland China, or Taiwan, I’d go for the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track as it’s the most pet friendly robot keeping the onboard fur compression feature and the antitangle dual brushes debuted on the X50 Ultra. My favorite feature would be the duosolution detergent tank where. If in the EU, UK, and Australia, the MOVA Z50 Ultra is a close second and will be able to clean closer to edges if you turn on MopSwing as the edge of the mop is really close to the edge of the robot so there’s a few mm uncovered from the edge.

I like how Jamie Andrews tests aspects that are advertised for quality of life (self cleaning the dock and using hot water) whereas vacuumwars simply rattles them off like a sales brief checklist. I can confirm Dreame does reach the advertised hot water temperature listed (I tested myself with an electric thermometer connected to the area on the washboard where the water would flow from the pipes) and it usually hovers at about 5-10°C below the advertised temperature before reaching it for a second or two. Don’t know about the new AceClean dock as I don’t have it but Dreame told me any misplacement of the temperature probes will result in measuring errors of more than 10°C.

Narwal flow’s release seems to have been delayed due to faults discovered by beta testers. I’d recommend waiting for the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track if you want to wait. Below is a comparison photo testing how the Narwal Flow (top panels) compares with the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track (bottom panels) when cleaning carpet with the optimal carpet settings turned on (cleaning twice in a checkerboard pattern and Narwal flow’s pressurized cleaning head being activated). Dreame’s track type roller mop (which was fine tuned over time with MOVA’s G20, G30, and the Z50 Ultra) also seems to be the leading solution since it can exert 18N of pressure when mopping (the most exerted by a roller mop robot and MOVA Z50 Ultra does the same) and can mop with warm water thanks to an onboard water heater heating it up to 45°C (Narwal’s 36°C claim is from the warm water filled at the station). https://preview.redd.it/ej07u60mjk5f1.jpeg?width=1436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d20f83c2d8b38f54734ef4980fa94c1ff31bde87 Since you live in a home that is rather dusty, I’d check out the dreame L40S Ultra, L40S Pro Ultra, L/X50 Ultra and the MOVA V50 Ultra for the filter self cleaning function when autoemptying. Due to size constraints and the addition of a track type roller mop, the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track uses a different autoempty system and lacks the filter self cleaning function. If there’s a threshold higher than 3cm, I’d recommend the MOVA V50 Ultra, Dreame X50 Ultra, and the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track. If choosing between the MOVA V50 Ultra and the Dreame X50 Ultra, the MOVA V50 Ultra is the better flagship for near-identical models as the vacuuming performance was improved over the x50 Ultra and has the duosolution detergent tank which is well suited for homes needing odors to neutralize since there’s another tank for odor neutralizing detergent. The fact that it can dry the dustbin and dustbag is also a plus for mildew control. The mopping has been improved with tilting mop pads (up to 5°) to automatically adjust to the floor level and can spin up to 260RPM over the X50’s maximum of 180RPM if it detects a liquid or dried on mess. If you want a roller mop robot right now, the eufy E25/E28 or the MOVA Z50 Ultra is a good choice. The MOVA Z50 Ultra will mop more thoroughly though and will know when to clean its mops better with the onboard turbidity sensor facing the mop. If you want to compare the MOVA Z50 Ultra to the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track, the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track should be slightly better for raw mopping performance (only difference is warmer water when mopping), better edge cleaning with an extendable mop (still not as good as spinning mops which is common for roller mop robots with an extending mop), better at antitangling with the double anti tangle brushes (both models’ mop scrapers are comb shaped to help with any potential tangles and I haven’t seen this on roller mop robots from other brands), much better self cleaning (100°C mop cleaning with a PTC plate, dustbin and dustbag drying, and the duosolution tank), better vacuuming, much better obstacle avoidance from the binocular RGB cameras that avoids obstacles without needing to backtrack like all other Dreame and MOVA models and it seems Dreame’s obstacle avoidance is now on par with the Narwal Freo z based on Chinese KOL reviews, and much better obstacle climbing with the ProLeap system .

https://preview.redd.it/h0sz6lzme36f1.jpeg?width=1436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28d4dff158a114d2e6d1f4f074d1b0e30dddb273 Here’s a photo from a Chinese reviewer who tested their carpet cleaning settings at the robot’s optimal settings. The top is the Narwal Flow and the bottom is the Aqua 10 Pro Track

Eufy is not mentioned because it does not have this capability. Best mopping: Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track and the MOVA Z50 Ultra has the best raw mopping performance. If your pets are stinky, the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track or the MOVA V50 Ultra will be my recommendation as it has the duosolution detergent tank which means it can use a special odor neutralizing solution or your regular floor cleaning solution based on your preferences set in the app. The MOVA V50 Ultra does mop better than the Dreame X50 Ultra because it can spin its mops up to 260rpm when it detects dried on stains and liquids and because it has a new mop pad holder that basically has suspension as it can go up 2mm and down 1mm downwards and tilt up to 5° to put as even pressure as possible on uneven floors. Honorable mention: Narwal Freo Z Ultra. Shame it cannot lift its side brushes. Variable mopping pressure of 8-12N but pales in comparison to the 18N of mopping pressure by the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track and the MOVA Z50 Ultra. Best software for detecting liquids and appropriately dealing with them: Dreame L/X40 and newer including the Aqua 10 pro track based on reviews. The MOVA Z50 ultra and the other MOVA models mentioned are also pretty good too at detecting liquids. Previously mentioned Roborock and Narwal models also seem to do well. I think all the models I mentioned should be on par for automatic remopping. Hardware: All models I mentioned should have a solid build quality.

It depends on tall your thresholds are: For single thresholds: Up to 2cm: most modern robots can cross with no difficulty Up to 2.2cm: Dreame L/X40 Ultra. The dreame models with the EasyLeap wheels (L40S Ultra/Pro Ultra and the L50 Ultra) can cross the first threshold up to 2.2cm and a secondary threshold right after up to 1.8cm Up to 3cm: roborock models with the AdaptLift chassis. It can cross a single threshold up to 3cm and a secondary threshold right after up to 1cm. Up to 3.5cm: the MOVA P60 Pro Ultra (mainland china only for now) has active suspension like the roborock Adaptlift chassis and the EasyLeap edge climbing wheels to climb a single threshold up to 3.5cm and a secondary threshold up to 3.5cm. Up to 4.2cm: Dreame X50 Ultra, Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track, and the MOVA V50 Ultra all can cross a single threshold up to 4.2cm if the threshold is shorter than 9-10cm (5.2cm if the threshold is sufficiently long enough) and a secondary threshold up to 1.8cm.

For carpet, the dumber models like the Dyson VisNav 360 do much better but you’ll sacrifice a lot. Yes I’m seeing ads for a robot carpet cleaner. If you mean mopping with warm water, yes it’s worth it as it helps get break down tougher stains easier. As far as I know, only the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track and the MOVA Z50 Ultra heat up the water to be dispensed on their track type roller mops. Other robots fill it with warm water or in the case of Dreame’s S50 (not L50) and the X50 Enhanced Edition, uses thermally insulated mop pads and heats it up at the base station with a PTC plate that can heat it to 100°C so the mopping temperature is about 30-40°C for a few minutes or so.

This is the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track or the Narwal Flow. It can extend the mop but won’t be able to clean into corners as well as a spinning mop. It’s just a tradeoff.

A much better CleanGenius please with the ability for it to remop/revacuum areas more if needed. Better carpet cleaning, imagine if a dreame robot could vacuum carpets just as well as the robot by another D-name brand (Dyson) and be able to mop (either with the new hydrosync track type roller mop or just spinning mops). Variable mop pressure and that could work with CleanGenius depending on the types of flooring and if it’s facing dried on stains or liquid messes. Better battery life especially when just cleaning at the normal settings. I hope the Aqua 10 Pro Track doesn’t have the same issue as the X50 Ultra especially since it has an onboard water heater. I love the cute eyes on the Aqua 10 Pro Track and especially the station’s design! Would be awesome if it could somewhat blend into my furniture like iRobot’s J9+’s base station which looks like a small bedside stand. Pets like to sleep everywhere, would be nice if the clean missed areas function was automated if it detects a pet is blocking the way/area (user should have the choice to choose if this is the case).

In Singapore, I’d totally recommend the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track Ultra if you want heated mopping and the vacuuming performance from the MOVA V50 Ultra and the mopping from the MOVA Z50 Ultra.

The MOVA Z50 Ultra is NOT the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track as the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track is a better all around combo robot. If you’re in Singapore (1699 SGD) or Taiwan, I’d recommend this model over the Z50 Ultra. The self cleaning, vacuuming, and mopping capabilities have been improved and the new features on the dreame one are better for pet owners~ The Z50 Ultra is also not in the US market but the Matic is.

I think the Narwal Freo Z Ultra is the “smartest” of them all for smart cleaning but won’t do so well for vacuuming as mopping is its key strength. The Matic seems to be rather smart too but it is US-only. Object avoidance: Dreame, eufy S1 Pro, and the Narwal Freo Z ultra will do the best. Narwal’s binocular RGB cameras mean it avoids them smoothly. Dreame’s own binocular RGB cameras on the Aqua 10 pro track show similar smoothness when avoiding obstacles. Hair and fur: Dreame and MOVA’s duostream brushes, eufy E25/E28 DuoDivide dupe brushes, roborock DuoDivide brushes, Narwal’s conical brush, > dreame TriCut brush

Firstly, try to find consumables on Taobao or AliExpress. These are widely available and cheaper The Aqua 10 pro track mops and vacuums better than the Narwal flow and will be better suited for pet households because of the fur compression feature and a bigger dustbin. The MOVA z50 ultra will mop better than the Narwal flow but not so sure about vacuuming. Both should have the same obstacle avoidance capability.

Dreame's Aqua 10 Pro Track will mop much better than the current ecovacs/eufy roller mop options, and vacuuming seems to be better than the Narwal Flow. Autorefill kits should be available from aliexpress when released in the US.

I think waiting for the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track is a good idea, current reviews in China show it's the best vacuum and mop robot with a roller mop (no clue about carpet cleaning) with the best self cleaning but it seems like other roller mop robots, it can't clean the filter as well as the dreame x50 line as the autoempty airpath has changed and has a smaller dustbin but has the fur compression function on the x50 ultra to compensate. Alternatively, you could check if the MOVA Z50 Ultra can be shipped to the Netherlands.

I'm not a fan of the side mop and the rather ugly base station, too. The Dreame Aqua 10 Pro track and the MOVA Z60 Pro comes with the fur compression feature which is good since their dustbins are much smaller than the X50 Ultra at 200mL and 210mL respectively.

The Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track is better at mopping since existing reviews of the MOVA Z50 Ultra (Z5 Pro) can be used a substitute since the only changed thing about the mop is an increased water temperature for mopping (36°C to 45°C) heated by the onboard water heater and the ability for the mop to extend. Here’s a grimy toilet tile floor being cleaned by the MOVA Z5 Pro in a Chinese KOL review where the reviewer tried to give it tests harder than other robot roller mops (they have an ecovacs bias likely due to a brand deal). After 2 passes, only the edges weren’t clean since the edge cleaning option wasn’t turned on (other KOL reviews found the butt wiggle option for cleaning edges cleaned well and was time efficient). The photo shows the robot in the middle of its first round. https://preview.redd.it/ngznw3eo9v5f1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=325cdb20d9ce5b3949004e6a1b6ade81f62cd379 For edge cleaning, do not expect any roller mop robot to clean closer edges as well as spinning mop robots due to the plastic casing on the side. Dreame looks like it leaves about a few mm uncovered because of the cautious algorithm with the Narwal flow being slightly closer to the edges. For corner mop extending, the Dreame Aqua 10 pro track does better. The algorithm for roller mops extending is much more cautious out of fear it’ll damage furniture with the plastic casing.

There’s also the dreame Aqua 10 ultra track coming out with an onboard water heater that heats the water up to 45°C when it is mopping.

1. It really depends on your purchasing region. Costco is a popular choice given its generous return policy but choices are rather limited compared to buying from Amazon which has an easy return policy within 30 days. For other purchasing regions, buying from a reputable retailer with a good return policy and an optional protection plan would be good. In Australia, I heard Harvey Norman is nicer with returns compared to JB HIFI. 2. The robots with the best self cleaning will be Dreame’s L/X50 Ultra/L40S Ultra/Pro Ultra and MOVA’s V50 Ultra P50S Ultra > MOVA’s P50 Ultra/ Pro Ultra > Roborock’s models that have spinning mops with the Multifunctional Dock 3.0 (roborock models with a vibrating mop have a washboard that is more difficult to clean as you can’t remove it) ≈ Narwal Freo models (completely detachable base) > Dreame’s models with the mop-driven wiper mop washboard (cleaning the wiper washboard is rather difficult since there’s too many nooks and crannies and you’d still have to get down to clean the areas the wipers can’t reach) > other combo robots with an all in one base station As for combo robots with roller mops and have an all in one base station, the washboard is generally flat with a few grooves so it’s pretty easy to clean. I believe most of their washboards are removable. However, it’ll require more cleaning in the mop compartment and dirty water tank. Most roller mop models have an annoying cylindrical component which drives the roller mop like an upright wet dry vacuum but you can’t remove or move it to give it a deeper clean even if gunk is stuck on it. The only combos that are close to the level of self cleaning for spinning mop models are Dreame’s Aqua 10 Pro track, the MOVA Z50 Ultra, and the Narwal Flow since both have self-cleaning mechanisms that are made to also clean the dirty water tank and the mop compartment while also having a very easy to clean mop compartment since the thing that moves the mops is also completely removable. If you want to support a US startup, you could look at the Matic since it’s a vacuum and mop robot but taking care of it looks rather easy since it lacks a base station. The maintenance involved is replacing the bag, refilling the water with a cleaning solution of choice, occasionally cleaning the roller mop, the roller mop filter, cleaning the brush roller and de clogging the mop tubes if needed.

The dreame Aqua 10 pro track only washes the mops with 100°c. It can mop with 45°C water.

Mopping capability: the MOVA Z60 ultra and the Dreame Aqua 10 ultra track Vacuuming: they should all be about the same (the Aqua 10 pro track is more prone to picking up debris with the mop though) Mapping and navigation is going to be firmware dependent.

As far as I know, only the Dreame Aqua 10 pro track, x50 ultra, l50 ultra (not the l50 pro ultra, confusing I know), the MOVA V50 Ultra and the P50S pro ultra can climb a single threshold up to 4.2cm unassisted with a second threshold up to 1.8cm.

Yep the track mops better.

> I also remember seeing that some docks run hot air through the bag to stop odors, although I can't find anything about this. That’ll be the Freo Z ultra, Narwal flow, Aqua 10 ultra track, Aqua 10 roller/ultra roller (widespread leaking base issue due to a design flaw), and the MOVA V50 Ultra.

The Freo Z ultra is a great mopper as a spinning mop robot but it uses quite a bit of water so I’d connect it to my plumbing and it’s vacuuming isn’t as good. Its antitangle brush is pretty good.

Narwal’s the first to add a little blender in there but MOVA’s G20, G30, and the Z50 pro with the new dreame Aqua 10 pro track also flush the dirty water tank with clean water with a sprinkler like outlet.

For a combo model, I’d recommend the Dreame or MOVA models with fur compression since they do much better with dealing with fur than the older dustbin design where fur would get clogged in the middle but still have empty space on the sides.

Jesus, please stop posting comments. They asked for the best vac/mop and you show them a shitty vac only roomba with no lidar or base station. If you aren’t going to at least try, please don’t comment. As others have said the E25/28 and the X9 are both probably top that are out currently. The X9 probably has better hardware/carpet performance but their software is very error prone. I have an S1 and love it but it also has its faults as does Eufy as a whole. If you really want to buy once cry once I might wait a couple months for the dreame aqua 10 pro to come out. It’s a track style mop that can actually keep the onboard water hot at I believe 45C and cleans the rollermop with 100c boiling water. It’s also supposed to have made a big leap in self cleaning the onboard dirty water tank which is huge (speaking from experience there lol). But if waiting isn’t an option, I would go X9 if performance is all you care about and you don’t mind the app/map needing to be redone here and there, and the E25/28 if you want a more stable app and better obstacle avoidance.

Hi all. Just wanted to share my experience with the Aqua10 Ultra Track after three weeks of usage and wondering if there is anyone with suggestions. Because currently I am thinking about returning the device. My situation: 50 square meters of living area and kitchen. Hardwood floors and one low pile carpet in the living room. 4 people in the family and one short haired German Shepherd dog. The map created is divided in 4 areas and the vacuum start cleaning the carpet in the living room first and then does a combined vacuum and mopping session for the whole house. Initially we were pretty impressed by the vacuum, mainly because of the mopping capabilities. Although I got a bit worried seeing some droplets throughout my house, especially after the report in here about the roller version. But at least the dock stays drie and the drops do not leave any stains or whatsoever. However we were a bit amazed by the amount of dirt still found everywhere in our house. Especially near edges. Since we have quite some furniture with indented skirting boards. So all the dirt was basically moved over there. After the second session I noticed that actually there was more dirt in the corners and edges than before and I figured the Aqua10 was just not vacuuming anything at all. So I opened the vacuum and actually found out the bin was completely full. Although it did regular emptying sessions at the dock. So then I found the outlet to the dock was fully blocked with hairs and I cleaned it. After a second run in blocked again. I cleaned it. Added extra zones to the map and put the empty frequency to the highest setting. This helped getting the bin correctly emptied, but now a new issue was introduced. The hairs started getting stuck between the rollers and the inlet of the bin. So I removed the hair and was amazed by how small the actual inlet is. Coming from a iRobot S9+ it feels like the Aqua10 is designed to only vacuum breadcrumbs… now basically each run the hairs clump up in the inlet. Sometimes already at the start when doing the cleaning of the carpet, sometimes halfway through the whole session. I am quite frustrated now with the results. Especially since my old iRobot is outperforming this way more expensive new machine. Next to that it is also advertised as a pet friendly device. I saw that older Dreame models had the option to buy cutting rollers, but they don’t exist for this model. I added a picture of the result during one session. Is there anything I can do to reduce this. And if I future the vacuum and would exchange it with something like the Narwal Flow wil I run into similar issues? Thanks!

Well mine was just picked up this morning for a return. A lot of useful tips in this thread. But ultimately they are just silly workarounds for something that should work out of the box. I created workflows for cleaning with smaller zones, this kind off worked. But it drained the battery twice as fast and you cannot say just vacuum or do a combo or do a thorough clean. You then need to create separate workflows for each type of cleaning. And at the end of the day my wife just wants to press the clean button. So no back to the iRobot for a while. And looking for other options. Might go Eufy E28 or the new S2. Since they allow for emptying after a certain amount of square meters vacuumed. Or the Roborock Saros 10R since this robot has a much bigger inlet / outlet in the dustbin. I also saw the DJI Romo unboxing on YouTube and this one has a vertical dustbin positioning with a large in and outlet, but DJI has no track record on robot vacs so don’t really want to jump on board to soon 😀

I have three large dogs and lots of fur. I run the vacuum every day and had this issue especially because I was trying to clean the rug in my bedroom and it takes multiple passes to get the fur off the rug. I eventually got a very very knowledgeable and helpful person at Dreame to help. She suggested setting up shortcuts. I now have a shortcut for a zone that includes that rug with three separate tasks all to clean that zone. It goes back to the base and empties the bin after each run. It didn't do that when I had it set to clean the same area multiple times. The issue is there is no sensor to tell the robot that the bin is full. So, try the shortcut option. It really made a difference for me.

That's not what I did exactly. My main issue was a large 8' x 10' rug in my bedroom. It's a fur magnet. So I have a shortcut which has three tasks each one a single clean of the rug. That then sends the robot back to the base to empty each time. I have a second shortcut to clean the rest for the room and the closet and bathroom a single time but I vacuum and then mop. That shortcut is just for convenience because I don't need the rug cleaned again. I could have included it in the first shortcut. You will need to experiment with how much area the robot can clean before filling up the bin and then add each of those areas as a task in the shortcuts. The whole point is to get the robot to return to the base before it gets too full and can't empty properly or overflows into the rollers. You can have the entire area split into separate tasks in a single shortcut if that is how you plan to use the robot every day or have separate shortcuts for different areas if you don't think you want to run it everywhere every day.

Actually, here are the exact instructions I received and they may be easier to follow than my description: Given your multiple pets and likely spacious home, high hair density may cause the dust bin to fill up mid-clean. To solve this: When mapping your home, divide large rooms into smaller zones (e.g., split the living room into Zones A, B, and C). Assign each zone to one of the 3 tasks in Shortcut “X”: Task 1: Clean Zone A once Task 2: Clean Zone B once Task 3: Clean Zone C once Result: Scheduling the “X” shortcut will make the device clean each zone sequentially, emptying dust after every zone. This prevents overfilling even in hair-heavy areas. You can fully DIY the number of tasks and zone sizes to fit your needs—this flexibility is key to reducing clogs. For step-by-step setup, please refer to the attached guide on shortcut operations（Shortcut Setting Guide )

I have the exact same problem and same dog as well :) it is very frustating as this is a super expensive machine... I have 4 days to return it and I'm serious planning to do so. The issue is with both the inlet to the bin inside the robot and the door of that bin to the base station bag that is too smal.

I have a dreame aqua 10 pro track. My mova z50 mopped better. It’s really bad at mopping and the battery is weak.

Aqua 10 pro track is also roller, large difference for pickup messes. Edit: sorry realized you said z50 not v50, z50 is still fictional for most of us (US) so yeah if that person can get one it’s a good option.

The Dreame aqua 10 pro looks promising, it has all the latest features including a tank track style mop and threshold climbing which is very important if you have an older house with tall thresholds like me Vibrating and spinning mops are old news, they leave the dirty water on your floor and cause it to become dingy over time (ESPECIALLY if you have any texture to the floor all the little dimples turn black) Otherwise I'd go with a Eufy or Ecovacs with roller style mop. I personally didn't have a great experience with my Ecovacs but that was years ago when mopping robots were in their infancy, don't know if they've improved since then

The most effective anti-tangle for robot vacuum now is the conical brush, currently only available in Dreame, Mova, and Narwhal. I would recommend you Dreame or Mova because they use dual contra-rotating conical brushes (similar principle to iRobot Roomba AeroForce), which are known for better carpet agitation. Also, Dreame/Mova obstacle detection and avoidance is much refined than Roborock. Or you could try Matic, which has better camera resolution and a stronger AI model than any current smart robot vacuum on the market. But Matic is very tall and bulky so it won't be able to go under your low furniture. Btw, Mova is Dreame's sub-brand selling a cheaper and competitive version of Dreame's expensive lineup.

Well, in that case, Saros 10/10r would do a good job on most hard floors. About the multiple floors, almost all robots nowadays have multifloor features that could save the map of different floors. But, you can only have one dock, and you have to pick the robot up from one floor to clean another floor and carry it back to the floor where its dock is placed after it's done cleaning. Like I said before, if your home is mostly carpet like in an older house, an expensive Dyson Vis Nav would beat all models from Chinese brands because it is very optimized for carpet cleaning. Chinese brands that specifically state their carpet cleaning ability currently are Dreame/Mova with their Vormax TM system (in all their models) and Ecovacs with their BLAST TM system (in T50 Max Pro and X9 Pro). I haven't seen Roborock state their carpet cleaning focus other than increasing suction power. Both Dreame/Mova and Ecovacs have different approaches. The Vormax is more focused on the cleaning head design and strong suction, while Ecovacs focuses on redesigning its turbine blade and motor power. But, there is one feature in Dreame that other brands (except Narwhal) don't have! A fur/hair compression in a dust bin. It uses air pressure to compress fur or hair in the bin so it would be packed and the robot could vacuum without needing to empty the bin many times. They are also releasing new models that have 3 mopping solution cartridges, one of which is for pet odor solution. No other brand has this feature yet. Dreame's latest Aqua 10 Pro Track now supports 100°C hot mopping with track mop instead of roller mop, but this model is now only available for the Asia region. EU and NA are coming soon. You could try Dreame/Mova! Their product are more tailored for houses with carpet and furry companions than Roborock. In fact, their websites discussed a lot about this. Also, their AI object recognition and avoidance are slightly better than Roborock's. See Dreame's website about their pet hair solution: https://www.dreametech.com/pages/robot-vacuum-for-pet-hair

A lot of what you’re seeing on Aqua 10 Roller is software/map logic, not hardware. Quick fixes that usually help: • Add **Low Area** zones under furniture so the lidar retracts, and approach them straight on. • For thresholds, set **Hurdle** for bars / **Synchronized** for steps; sadly it’s global. • If carpets get wet, set **Carpet protection → Avoid during mopping** and delete any bad carpet shapes, then re-add. • “Ghost walls”/missed corners: **turn off obstacle avoidance**, then **backup map → remap once** (or restore a good backup). • CleanGenius skipping wash/history: run a task in **Custom** mode once, then re-enable CleanGenius. • Damp smell: lower water level, run **Self-clean + Dry**, empty/rinse the dirty tank/roller trough, and leave dock doors open to air out. If you’re still fighting it on 4.3.9\_2995 after a clean remap, I’d return/exchange it.

Ciao! La mappa è utile — grazie per averla condivisa. I punti cerchiati mostrano zone non raggiunte, e questo è spesso causato da uno o più di questi problemi: * **Evita ostacoli attivo:** Disattivalo temporaneamente e rimappa per correggere “muri fantasma”. * **Forma della stanza irregolare:** Aggiungi *Area Bassa* sotto i mobili per far ritrarre il lidar e assicurati che l’entrata sia libera e diretta. * **Zone tappeto disegnate a mano:** Se il rullo si ferma troppo lontano, cancella e lascia che il robot li rilevi automaticamente. * **CleanGenius o Modalità Personalizzata:** Per test seri, usa *Personalizzata* con tutti i parametri manuali.

Here’s what’s helped others: * **Manual fixes:** Set *Low Area* zones to force the lidar to retract under furniture, and approach those zones straight on. * **Threshold climbing:** Make sure to set *Hurdle Mode* or *Synchronized Crossing* (it’s global, not per-zone, unfortunately). * **Missed zones or ghost walls:** Turn off obstacle avoidance, back up the map, and do a clean remap. * **Carpet issues:** Delete and re-add carpets using *automatic detection*—manual carpets stop the roller early. * **CleanGenius skipping cleaning:** This usually gets fixed after running a full *Custom Mode* clean once. * **Damp dock/smell:** Lower water usage, use *Self-Clean + Dry*, and open dock doors to air out. If you’ve done all that and you’re still on firmware 4.3.9\_2995? That’s supposed to fix a bunch. If not, I’d recommend returning or exchanging while you still can.

The Aqua10’s dual rollers and small intake can clog fast with hair, especially if the bin is full or the auto-empty gets blocked. Try this: * Vacuum-only pass first (no mopping) * Split your map into zones * Crank up the emptying frequency * Check the intake port manually every few runs Older Dreame bots had cutters in the brush — the Aqua10 doesn’t, so it needs more babysitting if you’ve got serious shedding.

Most robots that are excellent at moping do a poor job with the rest. Some have great vacuuming but poor obstacle detection. Absolute top of the line right now is probably the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro but it’s so new there are not many reviews yet. Roborock Saros 10R also performs very well. My answer. Get the dreame Aqua 10 Pro

I returned my Roller (water leakage under the dock) and ordered the track.

Quick answer: Yes Explanation: Whilst spinning mops were more of a "it maintains a clean floor reasonably well" deal. The rollers are a "I can clean the entire house properly without you doing anything" deal. Some will argue they are worse with dried on stains, which I guess is true, but reality is, with my Aqua 10 has rarely seen a stain which it did not remove on the first pass. Anything from like dirty shoe footprints to oil from cooking it picked up in one pass. (If that botters you, you can just quickly spray the dirty stains with some water before it passes over it, so it is a bit soaked I guess, but in my experience the X40 also had problems with such stains). Now lastly maintenance. And honestly, this is the main issue, right now we are using first gen rollers, which the manufacturers didn't really take time to consider how the products themselves would be cleaned. I found that having it vacuum, and then vacuum and mop was the best way to prevent any debris entering the mopping system, so no need to clean it every week, rather every 2 weeks maybe.

some thoughts. first, buy it next week since most are on [sale.](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nvsulx/comment/nhmjcxj/?context=1) Some thoughts on the models above: the p50 has a known hardware problem that they never seem to solve. Skip it. The S70 is a gimmick and separately, not a great vacuum. Trying to be too much. The Aqua 10 is fine, but leaks for a lot of people. I like the x9 or the 10R as options.... the Dreame models you noted aren't my favs.

But it is a damn good robot just a shame of these faults. I have now dreame aqua 10. VS Z50 1. Dreame is quiet and can jump thresholds but we do not need it in our house. The z50 is faster at cleaning and navigating, always empties the dustbin, uses less water, think the track cleans better then roller and has better battery life. All in all disappointed with the Aqua 10. Had the x9 for 2 hours before main brush stopped working. Fast at navigating and cleaning, cleans well great battery life but sidebrush sucks. Thinking of just getting x40 or x50 master hooking it to water and drainage and just call it a day and revisit the market again in tear or 2.

No stay away from the Aqua 10. I have x9 after the Aqua 10 just a more usable robot.

Dreame Aqua 10 will be better but Narwal should release sooner as it’s been announced almost globally

My Aqua10 Roller is not very convincing either. the navigation is really poor. I’ve had to remap the layout several times and it keeps ending up outside the mapped area (probably because it can’t handle things properly without the laser tower). Cleaning along the protruding edges in the kitchen is also bad, what’s the point of having that arm then? Right now there is not really much, thats better compared to my Roborock S7MaxV Ultra. The quality also leaves much to be desired. I had two DOA units, and the third one seems to be working… for now.

I think the battery would be ok if it wasnt so slow… 😅

Dreame is made in Singapore and won't do business with US cuz of Trump's tarriffs nonsense... or they will be frightfully expensive and i want one!

Dreame aqua 10 is 2600 with 30% off 1899 yikes 😬 😳

Your budget covers the top of the line robot vacuums. With hardwood floors you need one with a roller mop. Currently the Mova Z60 and Dreame aqua are your best bets, but if you can wait for a couple of months then wait for the Eufy S2 (I had the S1 pro for my hardwood floors and it was amazing, the S2 should be a significant improvement).

My acqua 10 has huge navigation and software problems. It doesn't pass under a piece of furniture over 17cm high, I managed to get it to go by manually setting the low area and in any case it doesn't travel well under there. Then, same mobile but in another position there is just no way to make it go. Same thing under a very high sofa. It says it can climb over at least 6cm but I have a deck chair which it avoids completely because it "tends to block the robot" In Clean Genius, once the vacuuming is finished, it remains still for a few minutes and then returns without washing and in the app, there is not even a trace of the vacuuming left in the history! So I don't even have to clean the roller or self-train, I have to start them by hand. Clean Genius, in practice, can only be used with the function that combines mop + vacuum cleaner. Voice assistance is dull in comparison to mova. I have to call him at least 3 times with different intonations to get him to arrive The clean carpets first function doesn't work, it cleans them whenever it wants Even the curtains function is useless, it detects curtains as obstacles and maybe if I'm lucky sometimes it puts the short blue woman on it and then it makes 50% of the space behind the curtain And last but not least, it leaves areas of 1\2 m2 uncovered, as well as detecting walls where there are none. DISASTROUS! The worst I've ever tried. It's not a product, it's an expensive alpha test. Oh and I forgot, sometimes it detects tiles as sheets of paper 😅😂

I'm definitely sending it back, there's no way I'm paying full price for this thing.

UPDATE: This morning I found the dust container clogged with hair and small pieces of paper. I tried to self-empty a couple of times but it didn't work and I had to empty it by hand. In firmware version 4.3.9\_2995 there is no setting for high frequency emptying.

I just got the Dreame aqua 10 after I tried Mova z60 and Narwal flow the best one ever is Dreame aqua 10 my tiles is so shiny and so clean it’s the best of the robot ever

No at all it’s amazing just noisy when empty the dust pan for 3-5 seconds but the cleaning is wonderful on my tiles

I’m an happy owner of dreame aqua 10 roller. No leak or navigation issue. It runs everyday with vacuum and mop. Some little issue with a low couch: every run is quite different than the previous one but for me it’s not a real problem

I usually use mop after vac with personalized clean. I have saw with clean genius that the time cleaning is shorther than custom. I dunno why. My version is: https://preview.redd.it/3yg9o5oq4uuf1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca6dfc4cdb4e16864eadd97e5a5b7c98c5d61050

My floor is parquet everywhere. My parameters: https://preview.redd.it/cz1kdrkeauuf1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7700b25771257c5b8db51fa422c15f322678702

The damp smell only in the dirty water can after a couple of cleaning. no meanwhile the robot is working.

I tested all the flagship models before deciding to keep the one I liked best (the Dreame Aqua 10). In my opinion, the Roomba 705 Combo Max was the best cleaner, but the side brush was too noisy. I really wanted to keep it, but ended up returning it because of the noise, otherwise my wife wouldn’t have let me run it.

Yes, after testing most of the flagship robots, I found the Combo 705 Max to be one of the loudest, even in quiet mode, mainly because of the side brush. I decided to keep the Ecovacs X9 since its sound is the least annoying for me. The Dreame Aqua 10 was okay, but the mop made a noise that, while not very loud, was still irritating (I tested two units—one was a bit better than the other, but both had the same issue). If you’re not sensitive to noise and don’t live in a cold place—where you’d need to keep windows closed—it may not be a problem for you. I also think the type of flooring makes a difference; for me, it was mostly hardwood floors.

I can confirm this: "It doesn't pass under a piece of furniture over 17cm high, I managed to get it to go by manually setting the low area and in any case it doesn't travel well under there" It isn't intelligent enough to retract the lidar on its own, you have to add a low area. And unfortunately the map doesn't allow turning the added area, it has to be square with the map, whereas my sofa is actually diagonal. In the end I had to add 4 small areas to try to map out the diagonal area. It gets hopelessly lost with the lidar retracted, you can see from the map that it thinks it is somewhere else entirely. I got this model for its ability to clear 8cm obstacles. Sometimes it manages to get up the 4cm + 3cm staggered step after the third attempt. I have 3 raised thresholds and it makes such a job getting over any of them - the crashing sound it makes on wooden floor boards is incredible. You can set the technique it uses: hurdle (steps over) or synchronised (single leap). Hurdles is better for a bar, and synchronised for a step - but it is a single global setting - you can't choose which to use for the threshold! I am also considering returning it.

Thanks, my firmware is up to date: 4.3.9\_2995. Yes, I restored my initial scan from backup and it worked fine (see my other comment).

I have resolved this by restoring the backup of the original scan. I was surprised it worked but clearly there is info in the map you can't see. Unfortunately it means I have a lot of tweaking of furniture and low levels to do again, but once I have I'll back it up soo that I can restore the working map when it inevitably goes wrong again.

I agree there isn’t a perfect model. Even the same manufacturer seems to have lots of good and bad robots across their line. I bought several dreame x50 Ultras recently and they all seem extremely good. This has been a flagship for a year so the firmware is matured and there are lots of reviews online. Meanwhile I just bought a newer dreame Acqua 10 and it’s buggy and giving me issues. I would recommend the x50 ultra or a soros 10r and upgrade when they fail.

The dreame aqua 10 lets you program tassels on carpet in the app and then it handles them

Same as you. Almost bought curv X but then for some reason decided on saros 10r and cancelled it after a day because I remembered I actually wanted to wait for a proper roller/track mop vac like mova z60, dreame aqua 10/x50s pro what ever you want to call it. I think z60 is imminent in Europe and it mops much better than the two spinny thingies. Considered z50 but it seems a bit tall and making weird noises and has station docking issues.

The new Dreame X50 autowash dock has had great praise, with people saying it effectively cleans itself and you will never have to maintain it outside of emptying the tray that catches larger debris. The x50 also can clear the thresholds supposedly. There is also the master version or even the ultra with the pipe hookups, then the only real maintenance will be the dust bag and the cleaning solution bottle. Then a weekly maybe even a monthly maintenance on it will likely suffice. I have a robovac that was released 3 years ago, and has voice commands, alongside scheduling, remote operation through the app, over the internet live video feed and control, voice calling through the robovac itself. Plenty of tools and features to help OP in their situation, and that is a much older model at this point

Nope, the q5pro /max does have the duo roller that reduces hair tangle, however long hair will still tangle around the ends of them and eventually stop them from spinning. This happens every third run if i don't clear them after the second run. The Dreame/Mova uses their "Hyper-stream duo brush" which pushes the hair out to one end of the roller where it gets sucked into the bin. Roborock duo-divide brush does the same but with a single roller plit into two. This design is not as good for vacuuming as the dreame solution.

No worries, there are so many different brush designs available now it's hard to keep track. I'm waiting for Dreame/Mova to put the Hyper-stream duo in a cheaper, vacuum focused robot without a mop, and maybe a bag dock. Around €300-500 would be good to compete with the q5pro

I've got a dreamtech which has self cleaning mops and it does pretty good. I've also got 2 kids and toys all over the floor and it barely gets stuck.

The Dreame robot mop system is our favorite new roommate! We have a new and an older iRobot Roomba vacuums and recently got this one for the main floor. We're very happy with it. It's available in many different price ranges.
