Dreame - D10s Plus

Here in Australia we have a Q10V plus. Similar situation where I couldn't find a review on it but decided to go ahead with it. Absolutely love the device. I did a quick this vs my dreame d10s plus (previous vacuum) after my usage with the device. Here's the subreddit if anyone would be interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1kidons/roborock_q10v_vs_others/

None that fulfil all your requirements. The really good vacuum-only robots are relatively 'dumb' bots compared to the combo robots. Dreame has improved a lot from the D10S Plus too.

I highly recommend combo robots if your parents walk around the house barefoot, it greatly improves the feel! The combo robots I found best for keeping itself clean are the dreame and MOVA robots with the filter self cleaning function and the flat washboard. I was able to get away with making my MOVA V50 run everyday for 3 months without a noticeable change in cleanliness. After that it’ll be and the roborock Curv 2 Pro and the Narwal spinning mop robots which generally consume more water than the other options. The app is going to be a challenge for them but you can set it up for them and put it on a schedule so they won’t have to open the app at all.

Thanks for sharing! I hypothesize that the X50 Ultra's poor battery life is likely due to the more power-hungry computer chip it utilizes. My own experience with the L40s Pro Ultra (mainland Chinese version) had a *worse battery life* that struggled to finish cleaning my home whereas my much cheaper combo Xiaomi robot (also mainland Chinese version) that has the same battery capacity and is also made by Dreame would be able to vacuum first and then mop my small apartment and finish with 50%. Other reviewers have reported that the L40s Pro Ultra (non-mainland Chinese edition) had a bad battery life, just like me :( Hopefully, this issue will be fixed soon. I hope the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track doesn't suffer the same battery life issue, especially because it'll need a more powerful chip to process all the information coming from the HD binocular RGB cameras and the dot projector, and a power-efficient water heater in the robot to heat the water up.

For some reason, every high end vacuum seems to have a bunch of mopping stuff. But I don't need (or particularly trust) automated mopping. I have a cat who has lots of toys and loves to spread litter everywhere. The dream would be to be able to get something with all the bells and whistles---auto empty dock (of course), really good obstacle avoidance with an AI camera etc., decent with corners ... but without paying for mop features. Is this possible these days? Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks!! (I don't trust Dreame. I currently have a d10s plus---never used the mopping feature, lol---and it's super unreliable, has to be reset constantly and seems to just have gone totally haywire this morning. Not buying anything from those crooks ever again. But open to roborock, Roomba, Eufy, Ecovacs, etc., and had good experience with an old )

We’ve been running a Dreame D10s for 2yrs now, it’s been excellent, haven’t had a single issue with it, navigation round a quite complex downstairs map is great and it is able to detect rugs / carpets and hard floors correctly. Consumables are readily available from aliexpress. I was slightly sceptical of buying a random Chinese brand but even if I died tomorrow I’d quite happily buy the new version of it.

I started with a dumb bump around Eufy 11s refurb years ago. Ran it for years, replaced one wheel and a battery (super easy, love the support parts). Just got a refurb Dreame 10s which adds mapping and mopping. I’m sure the latest models does more, but there are so many models and updates, I’m perfectly happy to be behind the curve, save the money, and still have a clean house. 

The D10s Plus is a two year old+ budget robot vacuum. A ton has changed in two years, a ton has changed in one year, really even in the last six months. Build quality, sensor reliability, mapping, cameras, etc. has improved. You can't really compare anything available now to your D10s Plus including what's available from Dreame. There's nothing wrong with trying out another brand, but they have at least three of the best reviewed robot vacuums on the market, plus the Mova budget line is killing it.

Check Bestbuy.ca, surprisingly their deals on robot vacuums have been wild lately. Good portion of them are on for 66% off or more. There was a high end bObsweep vacu/mop combo that was $1599 down to $399 just last week. I also abused the sale to get myself a Dreame D10+ Self emptying for $199 down from $599

Dreame D10. Does a real good job of mapping and being diligent about covering every square inch. Self emptying. If you take the time to set up the map, you can give it no-go zones, set up rooms and zones, etc. Pretty good. I will say, running it on the lowest (quietest) vacuum setting does not do a great job of picking up dog fur & dog dirt. You gotta step it up to the top 2 loudest settings to get good vacuuming. At that rate, the battery lasts about 1500 square feet. Also, when the base bag is only 3/4 full it stops self-emptying, which annoys me every time.

I have an old cheap Eufy and a newer Dreame D10. The old cheap Eufy is not smart, it just bounces around randomly and has a habit of getting stuck behind closet doors. And every 4 weeks I have to flip it and cut all my wife's hair off the roller. The Dreame is smart, so it has a map of the floor of the house and I mapped rooms and zones, and no-go zones. It has schedules , and a mop attachment I have yet to use. It is also self-emptying. I have dogs, so the challenge level is pretty high. I like having them both run every day, the remove a lot of dust, dander, and pet hair every single day. However, the mopping on the D10 is pointless, it just moistens the dirt. The vacuuming is very good, when set to maximum vacuum level it does a decent (but loud) job of getting stuff of the floor. Regardless, I still have to do an actual manual vacuum every week or two anyway to finish cleaning the floors. Still, I appreciate the fact that so much junk is removed without any effort on my part. Each of these units fills their bin every day, so I know they are removing a big pile of stuff.

Dreame D10 are solid mid-range picks for pet hair
