Dreame - Aqua10 Ultra Roller

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.

Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller Complete is available in [Amazon](http://Amazon.fr) with Prime 100€ difference between Mova Z60 and Aqua10 Ultra Roller Complete...

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

The best robots I've had so far are the Roborock Qrevo Curv and Qrevo Curvx that I use on a daily basis. Roborock is just consistently good and they are my default brand now. The curvx got off to a rough start that required a reset and two remaps but it finally got it together. I had a Dreame X50 Ultra that died on day two and a Aqua10 Ultra Roller that was beyond terrible with tons of issues and their support was horrid so I won't be inclined to try them again. I had a eufy x10 omni pro and it was okay until it wasn't and right after that I tried a Samsung Bespoke jet bot ai and it went crazy on its first cleaning run and died in the hallway. I also had a shark matrix and it was okay until it went crazy spinning against the couch in the living room.

I've noticed that mine struggles underneath the dining table and doesn't handle the chair legs very well. It wastes a lot of time bumbling around them while my Roborock Qrevo Curv zips around them and moves on. The battery life on mine is okay if I turn off 2nd cleaning otherwise it will kill it mid schedule and it won't be able to start the next task. The mop wash takes too long and consumes too much water. Mine uses more resources washing the mop than it does cleaning the floor. At this point I wish that I'd just bought another Roborock spinner and I still might send this one back.

In my experience Roborock is the more reliable brand. Recently I've had a Dreame x50 ultra and aqua10 ultra roller and they had terrible performance, the x50 died on day 2 and the aqua couldn't even navigate my dining room or follow the schedule among other things. Dark colored rugs and mats trip up the Dreame sensors causing them to error. Battery life is an issue on the newest brushless Dreame models. Do you have any thresholds that the robot would be required to cross? Most robots can cross from hard flooring to carpet and back without issue. Thresholds that are taller than 1" can trip them up if they don't have the ability to lift their chassis. Tiered thresholds can only be crossed by this type of robot. If you have ramps only the Dreame app will let you mark it on the map. I've seen people create a ramp in the Roborock app by setting invisible barriers to create a path to it. IMHO the Roborock app is miles ahead of everyone else even though it lacks ramps and the ability to rotate the map. Currently I have a qrevo curv and qrevo curvx and they are the best robots I've ever had. I run them daily splitting the house between them. Research whatever model you decide to get so you understand the maintenance required for it. Good luck with whichever one you choose.

Don't believe the marketing hype. I had an aqua10 ultra and it was a disaster so I bought a 2nd spinner.

Roborock Qrevo Curv has been the best robot I've owned. I recently tried a Dreame X50 ultra which died after 2 days and a Dreame Aqua10 Ultra roller which I sent back after a week because it was so terrible in a multitude of different ways. With pet hair the main brush must have antitangle properties or they will become a mess.

X50 ultra died on the dock on day 2 but when it was working the battery drained fast and navigation was sporadic. Sent it back and got an aqua10 ultra roller that would error out when approaching dark colored rugs and mats stalling forcing a person to physically rescue it. Mop cover generated random errors which would stall it out and again someone would have to go rescue it. It also suffered from rapid battery drain like the x50. Unit could not navigate in the dining room using its own lighting and had poor navigation around the house overall. Used more water cleaning the mop than actually cleaning the floor. Tech support was less than helpful so back it went. My Roborock 2024 Qrevo Curv has been the best robot I've ever had. Navigation is great and it is consistent day in and day out. Its even better than the upgraded model I have the curvx.

Interesting would be narwal flow vs z60. The aqua10 is significantly worse

Different tests showed it has worse mopping

My main hesitation with this current release of robots (just bought the 10 roller ultra from dreame,) is the 6400mAh batteries. Ultra thin seems to be in, as well as ultra gimmick. Really we need larger better fitting batteries, with more extending tech, and slightly more powerful - pressure causing components and these things will actually be able to clean floors. In light of it being the ‘best’ currently the best deal on any top model is likely the best right now. In the next year there should be some opportunities as they situate the new spinning claw mechanisms (rotates both directions) and do mop / roller combos.

It arrives on friday. I use an Omni S1 pro in my garage; it has a roller mop and has kept things very clean! Maintenance is a bit more involved in the roller mops, where you clean out the onboard water tank and remove debris from the roller mop housing on the robot. The dreame, and why i chose it over the roborock was due to the 20% off early purchase deal and that it’s focused on being hygienic with hot water spray built into the robot and a highly hygienic hot water cleanse at the base station. I’m suspecting it’s going to be a quick replacement once the robot arms are improved on another model, and even faster if we can get larger batteries! get the best deal you can on any of the flagships except the Z70 which might be a comedy bot in disguise.

Dreame Aqua 10 Roller if budget isn't a concern, it has some of the best obstacle avoidance with its dual camera set up so you won't need to worry about rushing around picking things up after your kids! It's vacuuming ability is great too and the mop is the real stand out feature. That's what I'd buy if I were you ! :)

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.

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 Dreame Aqua 10 Ultra Roller will be much better than the X9 mainly because the app actually works when dividing spaces into rooms. But I’d also consider the MOVA Z60 Ultra because it can apply more downwards force at 17N.

The Aqua 10 ultra roller?

From what I’m seeing the Dreame Aqua 10 roller/ultra roller has a design flaw which will make it leak water from its base station. The MOVA Z60 Ultra roller has a different mop washboard and hence doesn’t have this issue and I did not notice it in my extensive testing.

> 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.

I’d definitely bring the station up. Do note that the station is rather heavy and the water tanks should be removed before carrying them up and down. I wouldn’t go for the matrix 10 as the mop swapping simply seems gimmicky. The dreame x50 ultra will be more hands off and easier to clean and the Aqua 10 ultra roller/track should mop better but cleaning it will take more effort and it should be louder.

Hard to judge longevity, but I recommend the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller and the eufy Omni S2.

Yes: Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller and eufy Omni S2.

I tried the aqua 10 roller and I was surprised by the results. In a bad way. My guess is that there is not enough pressure on the floor with this system. The robot is not heavy enough and the result is really less than average. As comparison I also have the X40 from Dreame and it is way more efficient. I sent the aqua 10 back.

If noise is your priority, the Narwal Flow is by far the most quiet and pleasing sound to be around. The Aqua10 annoyed me greatly. Here is a comparison review I did of the two and I include a sound comparison. [https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nnmoi5/dreame\_aqua\_10\_ultra\_roller\_vs\_narwal\_flow\_ama/](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nnmoi5/dreame_aqua_10_ultra_roller_vs_narwal_flow_ama/)

The [Aqua10 Roller](https://amzn.to/47xkedl) (not [ultra-roller](https://amzn.to/47gOoR1)) uses the same [MOVA Z60](https://amzn.to/49hll22) navigation, I thought that was interesting they offered that variant. I dont think it fixes it's other issues, though. I think this go-around, the MOVA is just a better engineered robot, seems like they took some chances with the Dreame variant that didnt work out. Even the dust bin functions better on the Z60.

Not at all, the Aqua10 clogged twice in 3 days running the same floors daily as the Flow, the Narwal Flow hasn't clogged once in a month. Just be aware that if you check the dust bin after the Flow returns from cleaning it will still be full, it dries the dust bin after returning to the dock and only empties before it goes out for its next job. At first I thought this was odd but it actually works very well. Also its dust bin design is excellent with its pre-filter screen. The Aqua10's filter required cleaning after a week, the Flow lasted all month.

This is my review of the [Narwal Flow](https://amzn.to/4pShxu5) and [Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller](https://amzn.to/48X1HrY) *Last updated: 10/6/25 -- Updates throughout* *tld;dr -* ***Dreame Aqua10*** *has slightly better navigation and raw scrubbing power with the roller mop, vacuum easily clogs with dog hair and very poor battery life.* ***Narwal Flow*** *has a better vacuuming and mopping system, very efficient with water usage, quiet, great battery life and more refined. Narwal App runs much smoother, Dreame App has more granular settings.* ***Verdit: I prefer the Flow's package over the Aqua10. The Flow provides an all-around better, more refined experience with slightly less floor scrubbing power but still excellent mopping.*** # Intro I’ve had the Narwal Flow for a couple of weeks now, and I’m currently testing out the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller. My plan is to see if the Dreame might be a good fit for a second space, rather than just picking up another Narwal Flow. So far, the Flow has been working really well and has been a huge upgrade from the Eufy X10 Pro Omni I was using before. My main focus on this test will be how it handles dog hair and mopping as these are the two main things I use my vacuum for. If anyone has questions or would like direct comparisons between the two, let me know and I’ll do my best to answer. I’m not a reviewer, I’m not sponsored, and I don’t have a bias toward either brand—just sharing my own experience. [Narwal Flow \(left\), Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller \(right\)](https://preview.redd.it/x5zb3yewrpqf1.png?width=1473&format=png&auto=webp&s=578c5107047457f7e76b921ce96694fcbc6f7df3) # Initial thoughts Both docks share an excellent build quality. The Dreame leans toward a sharper, more angular design for both the robot and dock, while the Narwal favors smooth, rounded edges that give it a sleeker look. The LIDAR tower on the Dreame raises and lowers with a louder motor than I expected—nothing problematic, just worth noting. The Dreame’s water tanks appear smaller at first glance, though their different shape makes a direct comparison less straightforward—I’ll need to confirm actual capacity later. At the moment, the Dreame is charging and updating firmware on both the dock and robot before starting its first mapping run. One noticeable difference is in the voice guidance. The Dreame’s prompts sound more natural, as though recorded by a native English speaker, while the Flow’s voice has the cadence of someone speaking English as a second language or perhaps AI translated. Both are understandable, but the Dreame’s voice is more natural. # Build Quality At first I was going to give this a tie but the more I use the Aqua10 the more little clunks, rattles and vibrations I hear from its operation. For example when it stops, it stops with a thud not smoothly. When turning, I'm not sure if its the wheels skipping or what but it makes a vibrating sound. The Aqua10's vacuum sound is very high pitched compared to the Flow which is more pleasant to have running in the same room. It seems like Narwal put a lot of effort into refining the experience of being around the vacuum. ***Verdict***:  **Narwal** for build quality. It's more refined and more pleasant to be around while its running. The Aqua10's fit, finish and materials are good. The dock is well made. But the sounds it makes while operating doesn't scream quality, it just screams. (okay a bit dramatic but here's a [video ](https://i.imgur.com/dVItzO5.mp4)of the difference). # Mapping/Map Editing [Mapping on the Dreame went smoothly](https://i.imgur.com/nxiz5kz.png), and it was able to identify all the rooms without issue. It did make some different choices [compared to the Flow](https://i.imgur.com/mJJa8q7.png) when defining walls. For example, the Flow mapped around a side table—recognizing it couldn’t pass under but still showing floor space behind it—while the Dreame treated that same table as a solid wall. Not a problem, just a difference in how each robot interprets obstacles. Merging and dividing rooms worked fine, with slightly different controls than the Narwal app. I didn’t find either approach better or worse, and both were easy to use. I am still searching for some of the map settings the Narwal app offers—those options may exist in the Dreame app, but the layout is different so I’m still exploring. I’m also trying to locate the equivalent of the Flow’s “meticulous” clean setting, which vacuums in tighter lines. It may be the “deep cleaning” option in the Dreame app, but I haven’t confirmed that yet. One issue I can confirm with the Narwal Flow is that it doesn't like Black rugs, it thinks they are the void of space and can get stuck on them thinking its floating. I was able to work around this by changing out my small dog water bowl rug to another but if you have large black areas rugs against a light colored flooring you might have trouble here. There have been firmware updates since I got rid of the black rug so I can't confirm/deny if its still an issue. Additional note, the Aqua10 also doesn't like black carpets so thats a wash between the two. The mapping drawback on the Narwal is that after you split a room, you can't use the split line to split it further, you have to split only full rooms. Not sure for the choice there but it does affect some users. It didnt bother me in how I have my rooms setup but worth nothing. ***Verdict***: No clear winner here, both have features the other does and doesn't have. Both provided a useable map that was easy to edit, divide and merge rooms. I am more used to the Narwal's app at this point so I still need to explore the Dreame one further. I like that the Narwal app updates the robot position quicker and more smoothly compared to the Dream but I liked that the Dreame provides options for bin emptying frequency even if it got clogged with a lot of hair. In general, the Narwal app is again more refined and runs smoother. The Dreame app has a lot of jitters and delays. # Vacuuming My initial impressions here aren’t great for the Aqua10. The Aqua10 [clogged](https://i.imgur.com/Sk5EI1D.png) [with](https://i.imgur.com/c9vyN7i.jpeg) [dog hair](https://i.imgur.com/89kw8ME.png) even with the high-frequency emptying setting [enabled](https://i.imgur.com/wo7ZoRa.png)—which was one of my main reasons for wanting this robot in the first place. [This](https://i.imgur.com/vzuXLzz.png) is the typical amount of dog hair on the floor before vacuuming. Not excessive but it was enough to clog the Dreame on a full house clean. Subsequent runs have been fine now but I would have hoped the frequent emptying would have caught this. **UPDATE**: Clogged again the following day. It really doesn't like dog hair. For reference, I have 1 German Shepherd and 1 Beagle. It looks like the clog happened pretty early because I found [crumbs](https://i.imgur.com/o5tZwq7.png) scattered throughout the house. The Narwal Flow ran into a similar situation on its first run but that was after multiple days of not being vacuumed and the Flow's case the dustbin simply filled up during a full house clean, the chute into the dustbin did clog like the Aqua10. The key difference that I can find is that the Aqua10’s opening into the dustbin is [noticeably smaller](https://i.imgur.com/01xsZxF.mp4), which makes it more prone to clogging. What’s disappointing is that the Flow doesn’t even offer mid-clean emptying, while the Aqua10 does—so in theory, this issue should have been avoided with that feature enabled. It’s also worth noting that I had the Aqua10 set to the **standard vacuuming mode**, not the deeper clean setting, which could have filled up even more. At first I was having an issue with Aqua10's edge cleaning but I was able to achieve tighter edge cleaning that matches the Narwal Flow with by changing the Auto-lifting LDS setting to Extreme coverage with Collison-Avoidance turned OFF. This allowed it to clean under the cabinets, the dishwasher and the edges of furniture as expected. With these settings turned On or set to Balanced, the Aqua10 avoided bumping into walls and furniture but has worse edge cleaning. ***Vacuuming Verdict***: **Narwal Flow** for a few reasons. First is sound: the Flow has a more [pleasant vacuuming and navigation tone](https://i.imgur.com/dVItzO5.mp4), staying noticeably less high-pitched than the Aqua10 across all suction levels. It also avoids the random clunks and vibrations the Aqua10 makes when stopping, turning or working out a path. In addition, the Flow vacuums much faster. In a small test room, the Flow finished in about 5 minutes compared to 8 minutes for the Aqua10. It uses far less battery batter than the Aqua10, by a large degree and has not clogged once. **UPDATE**: I am now calling vacuuming clearly for the Flow. There are two main reasons here. The first, is that the Aqua10 has now [clogged for the second ](https://i.imgur.com/WkfQ8fz.png)time with dog hair after being run multiple times a day over the last few days. In the weeks of running the Flow, it has never clogged. The second, is that the dust filter on the Aqua10 clogs up incredibly fast. I've had to clean the filter in the Flow once since I've had it, with the Aqua10 it's been every other day. The Flow's prefilter screen and dust bin drying really does help with this and a feature that's the Aqua10 would benefit from. # Mopping The weather and my dogs gave me a perfect natural [test area](https://i.imgur.com/kLuF5sM.jpeg) with a fresh patch of dried paw prints across the floor. To make the comparison fair, I set up each robot to mop side by side. **Aqua10 Update:** My initial mopping test was more interesting than expected. I thought this would be a clear win for the Flow, but the results required more testing. I wasn't able to get my initial test side by side like I wanted --one advantage with the Dreame app is that it shows where obstacles were detected on previous runs, making it easy to set up a spot-cleaning zone right where I wanted. The Narwal app, by contrast, smooths out the room map and only shows borders, so I wasn’t able to place the zone as precisely. For the test, I [ran the Aqua10](https://i.imgur.com/vSeNBRg.jpeg) on [medium moisture](https://i.imgur.com/9L5KaNS.jpeg) **with high pressure**. The [Narwal ran](https://i.imgur.com/zxIngoV.jpeg) in [Freo mode](https://i.imgur.com/UhSCWCi.mp4) **with the floor type set to Tile** (for what I assume is the highest pressure). The [Narwal left behind](https://i.imgur.com/dTwZDDz.jpeg) [dried mud](https://i.imgur.com/H1qG0Ay.jpeg), dirt, and sand embedded in the faux wood grain after a single pass, while the Aqua10 removed that debris in one pass. To confirm, I let the Aqua10 mop the section the Narwal had already attempted, and it [successfully removed](https://i.imgur.com/gmJKqoC.jpeg) what [was left](https://i.imgur.com/yEglcoa.mp4). Both sections were equally soiled to start, so I believe the Aqua10’s additional pressure really made the difference here. ***Mopping Verdict***: Needs more testing, the Aqua10 outperformed the Flow tonight on dried paw prints so in my personal scoreboard that's big points for me. I am running a deep clean now and will check on the dirty water tank, mop roller, tray and all that tomorrow to see how it faired. I'm leaning towards the Aqua10 for mopping at this time but things like water usage, roller condition, dock condition, on board dirty water tank, etc could influence this still. **Some Thoughts:** * This test is making me rethink **roller vs. track-style mops**. Track pads may still shine on smooth surfaces like tile, but rollers seem better at scrubbing textured surfaces such as faux wood grain. * I’m also seeing signs of **more advanced navigation** from the Aqua10. For example, it was able to tightly maneuver around my tricky bar stools—an area where most robots either get stuck or avoid entirely. * ~~For vacuum + mop runs, I suspect adjusting the~~ **~~room cleaning order~~** ~~will help with dog hair management. In my initial test, the robot tackled three dog-heavy rooms first, which overloaded it with hair. Spreading those rooms out should let the unit empty before hitting the next high-hair zone.~~ **This had no impact on clogging.** * The Aqua10’s **vacuum sound is still one of the harshest I’ve used**. Quiet Mode isn’t bad, but I’m not convinced it provides enough suction at that level. * The Narwal app has so many nice little features, for example during the clean it tells you everything its doing in each room, Dreame just has a full task status bar. I much prefer the Narwal and knowing what the robot is specifically up to. **UPDATE**: Upon investigating more, the Narwal is setting the cleaning strategy for "Low Moisture, Soft Pressure" for some tasks which may be why the mopping performance is so different. I am reaching out to Narwal to see how to adjust this. **UPDATE 2**: Narwal was unable to assist, claims it is always set to the highest pressure despite that not being the case with no way to manually set pressure. A shame because if the 12N is to be believed with the Flow, it would rival the Aqua10 in scrubbing power if applying max force but I have no way to trigger it to use that. I have seen where it shows "soft pressure" being applied when running in AI mode, I have not seen "hard pressure". I also haven't noticed much of a difference in the wetness levels with the Flow where they were very noticeable with the Aqua10. # Maintenance After a deep clean over night with the Aqua10 here is how things are looking: * Used up all the water, app notified that clean water tank was empty (I took a screenshot of this but forgot to save it, it shows up as a notification and in the Dock section of the Dreame app) * Dirty water looks [nice and dirty](https://i.imgur.com/y0248Tn.png) * Cleaning tray has a small amount of[ dog hair](https://i.imgur.com/yZW3T56.png) * Roller area is a [little dirty](https://i.imgur.com/eZK4pUD.jpeg) with [dog hair](https://i.imgur.com/Pnx0jRo.png) * Dirty Water tank on robot is [soiled](https://i.imgur.com/3XSCrXR.png) * Mop Roller after cleaning was still [dirty ](https://i.imgur.com/1yEZjjX.png)\-- **This is a big deal in my opinion, if its not even getting the roller clean in the base station, what in the world is being spread over the floors?** ***Impressions***: Normal drip tray soil, would be easy enough to clean. It looks like it picked up a good amount of dirt from the floor based on the water color. The floors themselves look great after the deep clean. The mop roller area definitely collected some hair and debris, everything was run as "Mop AFTER Vacuum". The fluffer looks like it works well, roll was not matted down. The onboard water tank had some dirty water/sand in it still. I'd love to pull apart the Flow to compare this but I cannot. Was not happy with how dirty the roller was after mopping. And it only mopped what was shown above, nothing crazy like spilled soy sauce. Just general foot traffic dirt. # Other I kicked off a kitchen clean today using the voice assistant "Ok Dreame, Clean the kitchen". It did good with this, it came and vacuumed the kitchen, went back to the dock to empty the dust bin and wash the mop roller. Finally it came back and mopped the kitchen. No issues to report here, responded quickly and easily to the "Ok Dreame" trigger. I liked that it was built into the robot and not through Google Home. From my understanding Narwal is getting the featured later as its currently in testing. Battery life has not been great so far with the Aqua10. I haven't been using battery friendly settings but it's not able to do a full house vac and then mop on one charge which is disappointing. Roughly 700sqft of cleaning area. If I end up keeping the Aqua10, a water hookup would be extremely ideal for this bot. I'd love to crank up the moisture even further and not worry about draining the onboard water tanks. # Final Thoughts Upon further testing, I believe there is a fundamental issue with the ducting on the Aqua10 (and MOVA Z60 for that matter). They seem to have achieved their suction rating by narrowing the air duct where debris pulls into the dust bin and because of this it gets clogged easily with dog hair. This is showing up in testing on YouTube as well. I would be highly cautious with the Aqua10/MOVA Z60 if you have pets. It's just a poor dust bin design all around. The Narwal Flow did not experience any clogs like this. For floor scrubbing, the Aqua10 beat out the Narwal Flow, either through pressure or wetness. I wish I could replicate that with the Flow but even 3x passes on meticulous pathing and wettest setting the Flow still couldn't get the dirt out of faux wood grain like the Aqua10 could. However, since it cannot keep up with dog hair without clogging, (clogged twice in 3 days), I had no choice but to return the Aqua10.

So far... **App - Narwal**, smoother and less lag, real-time robot location while moving. Dreame app has some hitches like when you tap a room for cleaning, if you tap too soon after doing something else it will select the room then deselect it. This caused me to start a "full house" clean instead of a selected room clean more than once. I am using an iPhone 16 Pro for reference. **Aesthetic - Tied**, I like both styles and they are very different from one another. **Build Quality** \- At first I was going to give this a tie but the more I use the Aqua10 the more little clunks, buzzing and vibrations I hear from its operation. For example when it stops, it stops with a thud not smoothly. When turning, I'm not sure if its the wheels skipping or what but it makes a vibrating sound. The vacuum sound itself is very high pitched as well. It seems like Narwal put a lot of effort into refining the experience of being around the vacuum. At this point I'm leaning towards **Narwal** for build quality. They both seem like sturdy robots built with quality components. **Vacuuming** \- If we're going by raw performance, they are basically tied with the Narwal being a little more aggressive in edge cleaning. Both do really well "mid-lane" where its just vacuuming with no edges or obstacles. If you needed something for just vacuuming, I don't see any advantage over the Flow with the Aqua10. The Flow gets into edges better by going closer to them, even with Aqua10 side brush. The Flow is also slightly shorter so its able to get under things easier. It's not much shorter but every MM counts when trying to squeeze under appliances and furniture. If you aren't going to be in the same room while they are cleaning then either would be a good choice. If you plan to use it in the same room or at night, I'd probably not recommend the Aqua10 for its higher pitched vacuuming sound **Mopping** \- I plan to test this soon, letting the dogs settle down so I can have an obstacle free test area filled with wonderful dry paw prints to mop up. I'm really interested in this text because its by far the main reason I wanted a good mopping robot. I may be able to forgiven some of the Narwal perks if the Aqua10 mops better. **Edit**: Mopping has been a huge surprise and I'm almost certainly calling this for the Aqua10.

Part 1 of 2 I agree, there is a lot of paid promotion across social media and where it isn't paid, people have taken sides to defend "their" company. Normally it's whatever but when supposed "impartial" YT reviewers do it, it feels bad. Let me try to address what I can: >Your App statement is good to know. I thought the Narwal app was good, though there are things that could be better labeled (**down pressure adjustments**) and functionality upgrades (mid-job dustbin option). I don't have experience with the Dreame UI, but that seems a usual knock against Narwal -- Dreame's app is much better. The Narwal app just functions smoother as an app. The menus and map respond more fluidly, the Dreame app has a lot of "jank" to it. However the dreame app comes with more granular settings. If you plan to use a robot to just vac and mop on demand, the Narwal app provides a better user experience. With that said, those settings on the Dreame made a world of difference in cleaning my specific house so I'm glad they were available. The actual map shows more detail on Dreame as well which is a big bonus. >The mapping is also enlightening. One of my biggest reasons for considering the Aqua 10 Pro Track this summer (when we still thought it was coming to the States), was the LIDAR tower vs the Flows rear mount. It doesn't sound like the stowable tower buys you much in mapping improvement, and it forces Dreame to have a smaller onboard dustbin. For navigation and obstacle avoidance I couldn't really see a difference at first. I've seen the Aqua10 navigates chair legs a bit more efficiently in areas other robots have failed. Mapping is more detailed in the Dreame app but I'm not sure if its that app for the LiDAR tower. I could see the bottom of chair legs and stuff on the map in the dreame app which was helpful for spot cleaning and dividing up rooms. Definitely a positive for the Dreame app. >I very much want to hear your experience with the mopping. Does greater down pressure give you a better clean over a track mop that has a larger surface contact area? And does the fact that the Flow uses warm water vs Dreame's cold water impact the pick up? Does Dreame's fluffing wheel seem to work? That does sound like a good design. I'm still writing this section for the review and going over the videos/pictures I took but I can say initial testing is showing the Aqua10's down pressure is noticeable. I'm going to make a bold statement here but I think roller mops *might* be better than track mops *in general* for scrubbing the floor. As you saw in the pictures, I have LVP with a faux woodgrain. My nemesis is dried on paw prints and dirt in the grains. The Flow cleaned the surface of all the LVP great but the grains I could still see dirt. The Aqua10 got the dirt out of the grains. Both in its own testing section in the test area the Flow was in. That's a pretty big deal for my specific case. If you have smooth floors like tile, I'd pick a track mop, but I think for textured/wood grain floors a roller might be better. I haven't had a chance to look at the fluffer yet, right now its drying after mopping. >Finally, along with the Flow's quiet operation, I'm very happy with the clean out. A lot of people find the built-in internal dirty water tank a hindrance for the Flow, but it is a strength.  I agree, if the Flow can effectively flush out the dirty water tank I think the no-maintenance design is the way to go. With that said, it highly depends on if its doing that. I see nothing telling me that it isn't, my dirty water tray in the base station has been caked up with dirt and hair multiple times, so I just hope none of that is sitting in the on-board tank. And a note on the sound, man Narwal really nailed the vacuuming sound. To be honest though, my Eufy x10 doenst have as much of a whine as the Aqua10 does either so not sure why the Aqua10 has such a higher pitch. It's not a dealbreaker but definitely a preference for the Flow vacuuming sound.

The Aqua10 scrubs better, so for me it worked better at lifting dried paw prints. The flow mops quicker and washes its mop pad better. If you have smooth tile, I'd recommend the Flow/Track style mop, if you have texture floor, like I have faux wood grain LVP, I'd say roller works better. It could be the pressure difference or roller vs track mop.

It looks like I'll be returning the Aqua10. I was able to get it setup in a way I was happy but I woke up to a other dog hair clog. In the weeks with the Flow I never had a clog. I know I mentioned it a lot, but I don’t have that much dog hair that it should be clogging a robot vacuum. I really think that the dustbin opening is just too small.

Yeah it's a nice robot for sure, this morning I woke to another dog hair clog though so this just might not work for me. 3 weeks with the Flow and it never clogged.

You might wanna check out the Aqua10 Ultra Roller. it does surprisingly well on rugs and transitions. Even in a small place, it really helps keep things clean

I’ve been running the Aqua10 Ultra Roller for a bit, navigation’s been great on my end. Doesn’t miss spots and handles my layout fine. Guess it depends on the setup, but it’s been solid here.

Thanks for the thorough review! I'm currently testing the Aqua10 and have to say I'm not very impressed. I experience some of the same issues. Mopping seems great, but edge cleaning does indeed need the settings changed to extreme LDS and disabling collision avoidance. Even then, mine seems hessistant to get into every corner. Dreame should fix the annoying select/deselect issue in the app. Have you tried crossing small obstacles (borders) with the Aqua10? It seems like this is the selling point for this model. Mine doesn't make it over a 1 inch rail under my TV cabinet 9 out of 10 times. The 1 time it does, it seems to be surprised by itself and forgets to vacuum. Resulting in a 'Cleaning finished!' notification.

So I've been putting off upgrading from my old Ecovacs for like 2 years because honestly, it still works fine and I'm cheap. But I kept seeing people rave about roller mops vs the spinning pad style, and curiosity got the better of me. Picked up the Dreame Aqua 10 Ultra on sale (thank god for sales because this thing ain't cheap). My setup: 550 sq ft apartment, mostly different tiles (went for variety to keep things interesting), a few area rugs, no pets because I can barely take care of myself. **What I'm actually loving:** - This thing has some serious weight to it. Feels solid, not like those flimsy plastic models. Makes me think of old German appliances that last forever - Setup was painless through the app, unlike my Ecovacs which took 3 attempts and a YouTube tutorial - Mapping was crazy quiet. I was expecting the usual laser disco but barely heard it working - The roller mop is legit different. It actually stays wet during cleaning (they call it AquaRoll or something) and doesn't leave those gross streaky marks my old robot used to. Plus there's this AutoSeal thing that covers the roller when it hits my rugs so they don't get soaked - 30,000Pa suction is no joke - picks up stuff I didn't even know was there - Auto-empty is clutch for a lazy person like me - The roller mop is legit different. It actually stays wet and clean during cleaning (they call it AquaRoll or something) and doesn't leave those gross streaky marks my old robot used to. Plus there's this AutoSeal thing that covers the roller when it hits my rugs so they don't get soaked - Edge cleaning is better with the extending brush and mop thingy, but it still misses some tight corners near my radiator -The brush is quite smart as I didn’t notice any hair entangled as it cleans -It moves around effortlessly over little bumps on the floor thanks to its hexalift 6d elevation upgrade **The annoying stuff:** - When it's on turbo mode, it's definitely louder than my old Ecovacs, but honestly not terrible for the cleaning power you get - The station takes foreverrrr to wash that roller. We're talking 15+ minutes sometimes with the hot water cleaning cycle. I get that the 100°C cleaning is thorough but damn, I could hand wash my dishes faster - Speaking of hot water - why does it take so long to heat up? My coffee maker is faster - The thing is heavy enough that I actually have to think about where I put it. Can't just toss it around like the old one - Edge cleaning is better with the extending brush thingy, but it still misses some tight corners near my radiator **Random observations:** - It does look sleeker than my chunky old Ecovacs, actually complements my space nicely - The app is packed with features - like, they really crammed everything they could think of in there. Takes some exploring to find what you actually need - Battery life is solid but the charging dock is massive. People with small apartments be ware. - The roller really does stay cleaner during use - no more gross dirty water trails Overall it's a solid upgrade, and the roller mop thing isn't just marketing hype - actually works better on my tile floors than spinning pads ever did. Anyone else dealing with the long cleaning cycles on these newer models? Worth it for the thorough clean or just overkill for small spaces?

Spinners are here to stay. They're going to make up most of the mid-range and low-end and people are going to keep buying them for years to come. I've tried the MOVA V60 and the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller. The MOVA does a better job than the Dreame, but I don't feel it's any better than the Eufy S1 Pro.

The Aqua10 Ultra Roller *is* Dreame’s first proper roller-style mop head in the robot line — their earlier models mostly relied on flat pads with vibration or rotation. So yeah, it's a shift. To break it down casually: **1. Self-cleaning while running:** That part’s true — the roller rinses itself with clean water during mopping. It’s more like how a wet/dry vac works than a typical robot. But it’s still not the same as having a hot-air drying cycle, which higher-end bases like X40 or X50 have. **2. Auto-lift on rugs:** Confirmed. The roller lifts up around 14mm when it detects carpet, so you won’t end up with soggy rugs. It’s actually better at this than some Dreame pad-style models that just pause instead of lifting. **3. Threshold climbing (60mm?):** 60mm sounds... optimistic. That’s over 2 inches, which would make it a parkour beast. Real-world performance is closer to 20–25mm. Maybe 30mm max. But it *does* handle transitions well. **Vs Ecovacs X9:** Different ballparks. X9 Pro has dual mop heads that spin fast with solid downward pressure, and it includes hot water cleaning + drying. But the Ecovacs app and mapping are a bit more fussy. **TLDR:** Aqua10 Ultra Roller is solid for first-gen Dreame roller tech. If you want hot drying, go higher up. If you want good edge coverage and a quieter roller-style clean, it’s a nice middle ground.

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.

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

Hey Guys, I have fully tested the Dreame Aqua 10 Ultra, ran it through every test and had it clean my house for 3 weeks. I listed everything WRONG and RIGHT with the unit in my video. Big one is the maintanence. The Dreame Aqua 10 Ultra has higher maintenance than I thought AND there have been lots of failed sessions for me. I keep it 100% honest with you so let me know your questions or comments. TD:LR Almost READY [https://youtu.be/livb\_r7bR\_Y](https://youtu.be/livb_r7bR_Y) https://preview.redd.it/nvklplrodyvf1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf395c76482ab933788928c577b5d0b3e5d52006

I have had many robo vacs over the years starting back with the first generation Roomba with the light towers that meandered in random fashion. I will say that while not yet perfect the aqua10 is so far the best cleaner I have had. I bought this to replace the Narwal Flow I had that was very good but I need a vac that will go back and empty when the dust bin is full and the flow would not do that regardless how packed it was in the bin. The Aqua does a good job at vacuum and mopping imo needs to be a roller or track anymore to get it clean. All my others just seemed to smear it out whether a spinning pad or the flat smear pads (what ever you call them??) The 3i S10Ultra, although a roller, was a downright disaster (reviews posted elsewhere). I had a couple Neatos, 2018 vintage Roborock and numerous Roomba vacs over the years. Still for now this one wins. Let’s see how it is doing in 6 months.

Main difference, branding - dreame vs mova (app, software, looks etc.) Dreame 30.000pa vs Mova 28.000pa Dreame ultra roller got the new obstical ovoidance like narwall, dual RGB depth camera and NVIDIA ai chip, mova “only” comes with the normal cross laser and single low res rgb Kamera. Price. 1299vs1499 in Germany atleast

Mova is a daughter company of dreame, they basically use the same model and do tiny differences! Also mova got always 3 years warranty I think, something to think about. I like new stuff, and the NVIDIA chip with the dual camera is where it’s at. So im going for the ultra roller :) But I guess you can’t go wrong with either!

Ofc it is good enough. :D we are talking about high end robots, you almost can’t go wrong! You don’t have to wait, the aqua roller is awesome! You gonna love it!

Saw a bunch of posts about these, so here’s my two cents.Looked at the Ecovacs X9 ,great suction and solid mop setup, but kinda bulky and not the best in tight spots. The Narwal Flow's track-style mop and self-cleaning dock are cool, but it still misses edges and sometimes needs a rescue. The Eufy E28 cheaper and smaller, but the suction and mop feel pretty basic, especially if you've got pets and litter. After testing a few, I ended up with the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller. Not gonna lie, it's on the pricey side, but it actually makes cleaning less of a chore. The roller mop keeps itself clean while running, and the carpet guard's clutch, no wet rugs, no stress. Maintenance's way easier than I expected too, which matters if you don't wanna deal with extra work every time it runs. For cat hair and litter, it just does the job. If you're choosing between these, think about whether you want something you can just set and forget or one that needs babysitting. For me, the Aqua10 Ultra Roller's been the best fit ,cleans well, no drama, and honestly just works.

I've been running both for a bit, so here's a quick take. Navigation:Flow maps fine, but I've had to rescue it a few times and the edge cleaning isn't perfect, it tends to leave a thin strip along the baseboards.Aqua10 Ultra Roller sticks closer to the walls and hasn't gotten stuck yet. It slows down more around furniture, but I'll take that over pulling it out of trouble. Mopping:Flow's track system really digs into tile and grout, but it feels a bit heavy on wood. Aqua10 Ultra Roller glides smoother on hardwood and mixed floors, and the floors look fresher after each run. It's easier to live with day to day. The roller guard is a nice touch too, it flips down over the mop when crossing rugs so the carpets stay dry. Flow doesn't have anything like that. If your place is mostly tile, Flow still makes sense. But for homes with wood or mixed flooring, Aqua10 Ultra Roller has been the better pick for me. It cleans more consistently, navigates better, and overall takes less effort to deal with.

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

Got the dream a few weeks ago. It's a game changer. I had a Neato and a few iRobots over the years. With those units, I spent more time pulling out dog hair and untangling rollers than actually using the product. This is a lot more advanced, and with the self emptying, it's pretty great. All I do now is swap out the water tanks every day. Gripes? The mop pad on the base station gets hairy. It has difficulty getting dirt between the edge of the rug and the hardwood floors. It's expensive. All in all, it's a nice machine.

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.
