Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I can confidently say on LVT that roller/track mops work MUCH better than the older spinning mops! Iâve been through an L40, Eufy E25, Mova Z50 and now the Aqua10 track. I can echo the battery situ on the Dreame Aqua10 - 20-30mins of cleaning and it goes down to 49% battery.
If the Aqua10 comes on Blk Friday deal Iâd say itâs worth a punt! Its nav is superior to even the Mova Z50 I had. Itâs just overall smarter - Iâve not had to set where carpet/rugs are, it just sees them and deals with it 𤪠Curv models seem highly rated, Iâd look at those too!
You can use one of the European Amazon sites and import the Z60! Not many available for import at the moment though, Iâve been watching for the Flow, Curv 2 and dji. Think Iâm going to send the Aqua10 pro track backâŚitâs mopping is great (edge cleaning not so much). Hoovering; itâs struggling to navigate our low like rug and last few runs itâs unable to self-position!!
They are probably the same in the end. The ultra track allegedly has 45C mopping and dreame swears it works but I have yet to actually see the mop at that temp. May be just a firmware bug perhaps. The diff between the 2 is probably just the mops. I changes from the 2 mops style to the track and I quite like it, it can dry the floors even
Get a good robot vacuum, and then have a plug in vac to complement. Hand stick vac can then take over quick pick ups. I have a Sebo E3 Iâd buy again in a heartbeat. Bagged vacs are better in terms of dust recirculation, the Dysons absolutely piss out smaller particles. And a Dreame Aqua 10 Track, which I got on sale and was 100% worth it both in terms of cleaning performance, and just generally having a tidier house day to day. My older Dyson stick vac comes out for quick crumbs, car cleaning, occasional diy clean up. If you have mostly hard floors or a split then Iâd add a roller mop to the roster too. I have a Tineco, but when mine breaks Iâd be looking at Narwal to replace.
Yep the track mops better.
There also is the dreame Aqua 10 ultra track (also called the pro track in south east Asia or track S in Australia). It exerts 18N of downwards force when mopping. MOVA did send me their z60 ultra roller to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program. The Z60 ultra roller exerts 17N of downwards force when mopping. Both robots exert higher downwards force when mopping. The roborock QRevo Curv 2 Flow also exerts higher downwards force at 15N but it currently is only in Australia and mainland China.
There arenât enough reviews on the Curv 2 Flow so I canât say anything about it. The Aqua 10 ultra track also isnât released as widely as the Z60 ultra roller. I am noticing that some people are reporting the base station is leaking and canât autoempty. I do have the Z60 ultra roller complete and did run it rather extensively (43,000sqft/4000sqm). The floors do feel more squeaky clean. It could clean up ice cream splattered by my dog with most of it gone in 1 pass and the stragglers being picked up the second pass. With dried on mustard ( about 10mL), most of it was rehydrated in the first pass, mostly removed in the second pass, and completely removed and grease free after the third pass. My review of it should come out before Black Friday is here :)
The Aqua 10 ultra track is good too, itâs just that itâs not widely as available and the leaking base station makes me hesitant to recommend it. I do see people say that the z60 ultraâs autoempty port clogs but Iâve never experienced this.
The MOVA z50 ultra advertised 36°C and the Dreame Aqua 10 pro/ultra track advertises 45°C with onboard water heaters. The Narwal flow advertises filling the onboard water tank with 45°C water.
If only dreame actually spent more time on the robotâs software and quality control before release⌠I found the MOVA app to be easier to use with them actually implementing suggestions from users (the ability to customize how often the z60 models autoempty from once every 5-15sqm was suggested by a beta tester and was quickly implemented) but I do not believe any of the Dreame Aqua robots have such a feature in the app.
The roborock models with Adaptlift can only cross a single threshold up to 3cm and a tiered threshold up to 4cm (3cm + 1cm). Only dreame and MOVAâs robots with their threshold climbing features (ProLeap and StepMaster) can cross higher single thresholds.
Due to my rusty english and lack of time - translated by chat gpt. Believe it or not ;D updates on the bottom. I rarely write anything on the Internet, but since Iâve spent the last month reading user reviews on Reddit, I decided to contribute my own experience â maybe it will help someone choose the right robot vacuum during Black Week. Over the past month, against my will, I basically became a tester of robot vacuums. I had the Dreame Aqua Roller, Dreame Aqua Track, Mova Z60, and now the Narwal Flow. Some I bought, some I borrowed. TLDR â to my surprise, the Narwal Flow won by a landslide (even though Iâve only had it for 2 days). On paper, the Dreame and Mova products look much better. Iâm also sure that roller technology is the future, because it *should* mop best. Unfortunately, the released models are underdeveloped and you really should wait until the hardware and software are improved before buying them. **Dreame Aqua Roller** was defective â the base was leaking. Iâm quite forgiving, so I decided to put it on tiles and just let it leak. Shortly after, it started scratching my laminate floors badly because the brush cage stopped lifting evenly â after just 5 days of testing, the entire underside of the robot was full of scratches. I decided it made no sense to keep it, especially considering the price. I returned it. Still believing that Dreame was the right choice, I bought **Dreame Aqua Track**. The mopping was worse than the Roller â it left a lot of streaks, and you could see lines on the floor from the tracker. Fine â I would have tolerated that because I was already tired of swapping vacuums. But the robot started leaking â drops were falling from the back every second while it was moving. I checked everything possible and concluded that it was a common issue, so I would have had to send it in for repair. This was a big problem not only because the entire floor was covered in water droplets, but because when the robot got stuck on a sock, the entire water tank emptied onto the floor. If I hadnât been home, I probably would have had to replace my floor. Total deal breaker. I returned it and lost another âŹ50 because it was classified as a used return. I didnât give up, still believing Dreame was superior to other models. So I ordered the **Mova Z60** â reviews were decent, no complaints online about leaks, only about navigation. Fine â if it drives well and mops well, Iâll be satisfied. At first, I was delighted (except for the look â it looks cheap, not premium). It mopped nicely and left a fresh feeling. From time to time it left behind too much water, because it was starting to mop with too wet mop roller (probably to be solved with firmware upgrade). Its downside was noise, but still tolerable. It didnât get stuck, I had no complaints about navigation. It didnât heat the water for mopping, but that didnât affect quality â if anything, it was an advantage because it could run longer on a single charge (Dreame Track couldnât vacuum + mop my house on one batteryâŚ). However, during cleaning, when the suction power increased, you could often smell plastic. Unfortunately, after just a week of use â while cleaning the base (which itself was a downside, because Movaâs base doesnât self-clean the mop pad platform, so lots of sand accumulates and you basically need to clean it every two days) â I found a failure. Or rather, a small failure that would certainly turn into a big one: the part of the robot inside the roller was completely scratched, discoloured, and clearly smelled like burnt plastic. The roller itself also looked terrible â after just one week of use. I assume it was due to increased suction and mopping intensity, which led to excessive wear. The underside was also quite scratched. Again, only a week of use, and not even daily. Angry, I returned that robot too. Not wanting to miss current Black Friday deals, I had to choose something else. I considered the Saros 10r because my Roborock S5 still works after 9 years. I thought about the Dreame X50, but by then I already disliked their products. I also didnât want round mopping pads â I still stubbornly wanted a roller/tracker. I chose the **Narwal Flow**, even though there arenât many user reviews and positive opinions. I assumed thatâs simply because people rarely bother writing online when something *actually works*. Narwal Flow turned out to be exactly what I was looking for â a hassle-free, trouble-free robot that really mops well. The base isnât beautiful, but it's made of hard plastic and looks stable and durable. The robot reminds me of R2D2, which is a plus. Nothing leaks, nothing smells like plastic. A downside compared to previous models is that you have to add detergent manually into the water tank â but on the other hand, every robot I tested earlier had auto-dispensing with two detergents, and yet the liquid never actually decreased in the tanks! So maybe this is better â I can add more detergent myself and be sure it will actually be used. Navigation is excellent â the Narwal is decisive, doesnât hesitate, and moves surprisingly fast. Most importantly â it is extremely quiet in every mode (yesterday I vacuumed and mopped with my 3-year-old asleep nearby). It is noticeably quieter than all previously tested models. Cleaning is much faster then in Dreame and Mova. Another big advantage â low battery consumption and excellent cleaning time. On its very first run, the Narwal had 50% battery, and it managed to map the whole house (\~100 m²) and vacuum all of it (barely finishing, but still). Something completely impossible with Dreame or Mova. I just finished a full wet mop of the entire house â it took 1.5 hours and used 50% battery. No streaks, no water drops, even though it was done in the highest water-usage mode. The robot never got stuck, never fell into any trap. When it detects more dirt, it doesnât just re-mop the spot, it re-mops the entire room â and on the second pass it moves in the opposite direction, giving better results. Iâm honestly surprised how good this robot is. Of course, Iâve only used it for a short time, but so far the first impressions are excellent. If youâre hesitating, I wouldnât risk Dreame or Mova â too big a chance youâll get a unit youâll end up returning, like I did (three timesâŚ). If you have any questions, Iâll try to answer when I have a moment. Narwal didn't pay me anything , im random user. if Narwal fails on me too I'll edit my post. And probably will return to my old Roborock s5 and hand mop... But for know, fingers crossed. ps. One last thing, price. When i bought Narwal i thought it was cheapest of all the models I tested. But i didn't check one thing - almost no accesories added to robot. So overall Narwal is more expensive then newest Dreame and Mova. Still - for me it's the best robot so I don't care. Edit: height of each model is similiar, narwal has 9.5cm, dreames and mova 9,7. Apparently this 2mm does the job because narwal cleans under all my furniture, just like my old roborock , and dreames were not able to do that. Base cleaning - not as good as i thought, found hair and mud there after 2 days of stress tests. Luckily its easy to take platform from the robot and clean it under sink (in mova it was similiar). update 2: im using flow for 4 days now. 2 problems found, annoying but not deal breakers for me. \- tracker started generating squeeky noise. thought before it was wheel, but no. Cleaning helped for a bit but 2 days later sound was heard again. Maybe wd40 will help, but this is part that cleans floor , so it sounds problematic. Flow advantage was that it silent, now i have doubts. \- flow keeps detecting carpet where there is no carpet - only tiles with some colors. Sometimes it detects carpet in whole room, sometimes 1m2 etc. Theoretically it should be no problem, but flow on default ignores carpet, dossnt clean it. In app only fix is to pit manually carpet in whole room - but then it only vacums room, doesnt mop. So for now 2 rooms in my home will not be mopped. Annoying as hell. Rather not deal breaker for me, hope it will be repaired through upgrade... but still annoying.

The roller and track mops are awesome and totally replace mopping. The disk mop type do not. If you get a Dreme Aqua, do not get one with the roller guard/drip guard. The roller has this. The "track" does not. Get the Aqua 10 track. Or the ecovacs omni roller. Or eufy e25. Reason..... The aqua 10 roller guard can drag and scratch the floor. It doesn't scratch tiles, but it will scratch urethaned or wooden floors. I'm about to take mine apart and remove the roller guard. I wish I got the aqua track model or a roller but a different brand that doesn't have the guard, like eufy e25. The Dreame app is slow and takes patience, but hey once it's set up and tweaked, you don't have to use it too often. But a snappier app would be nice
Rollers and tracks are great, but stay away from any that have a roller guard that deploys when on carpet. It's just another thing to go wrong. Ours (Dreame roller) dragged the guard on the hardwood and scratched it all up. Not cool. Returned. Plus the Dreame app is super slow. My Ecovacs has been great. Some rollers and all/most tracks don't have a guard, which is what you want. Newer ecovacs are bagless. Pretty cool. Worth looking at are models with self filling and emptying base station tanks. Plumbed in. No constant filling and draining of tanks. OR I've seen one that has a built in dehumidifier so it pulls water out of the air to fill up the tank. But also it dries out/distills the water from the dirty water tank and puts the residue in the dustbag. So it functions like a plumbed in one, but it's not, and you can put it anywhere in your house. However again it's more things to go wrong, and worth looking at reviews. That one was called the 3i s10
