GoVac 600

I’d go for the GoVac 600 mainly because it’s from Costco and will do better with pet fur since it has the fur compression feature.

Definitely the GoVac 600, costco is pretty worry free

In your list, only the Narwal Freo Z ultra and the Dreame GoVac 500 have an RGB camera for obstacle avoidance. If avoiding things like cables, socks, towels, etc is a priority I’d consider those. The Narwal Freo Z ultra is a great mopper but likes to use a lot of water and the Dreame GoVac 500 is better at vacuuming but the mop washboard has more nooks and crannies.

The GoVac 600 is a better bang for buck robot mainly because it has a detergent tank it can use to wash the mops.

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 MOVA’s robots with their threshold climbing features (ProLeap and StepMaster) can cross higher single thresholds.

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.

Dreame if you care about obstacle avoidance. Roborock still eats cables even on their flagship models. The govac will perform better

We bought a Dreame GoVac 600 from Costco about a month ago and haven’t been super happy with it. Our house is mostly hardwood and we are finding that the mopping is not great considering it’s not a low-end robot. We also found that it becomes very loud when moving quickly on the floor (ie when returning to dock) which is super annoying and something others have also had issues with. Ended up ordering a Narwal Flow 1 on sale and just waiting for it to arrive this week. Based on reviews we are thinking it will be much better at mopping and also supposed to be very quiet.

You mentioned some Canadian Costco models what do you think about the Dreame Govac 600 (supposedly a L50 ultra) and the Roborock QX Revo Ultra. Currently I have the Dreame and it’s not able to get in its dock... I think I got a bad one and am debating getting an exchange or I just go with the Roborock. I have 2 double coated dogs and 80% hardwood flooring. If that help’s.

I just ordered to Dreame Go Vac 600 from Target on sale for $799. With my target card 5% back I get an $40 off. I sent an email to Dreame and they said it's the same machine as the Dream L50 Ultra (currently top of Vacuum Wars top robot vac list). The L50 Ulta is on sale for $999 on Dreame website and coupon code Guru10 knocks $100 off. I plan on not opening until all black friday sales are done in case it drops lower.

We have the dreame govac 600 or whatever it's is called and very happy with it so far.

If wet spills is an issue, you need a roller style mop. You can get the Eufy E25, Ecovacs X9 or ideally the Mova Z60. If roller style mops are not a requirement I would recommend the Mova P10 Pro Ultra. It's an amazing robot, but the suction and mopping are not the best. I recently grabbed the Dreame GoVac 600 (L50 Ultra) from Costco at $400 off. Both it's cleaning and mopping are a cut above the P10 Pro Ultra, but at the expense of battery life. Use the Roborock pads in Mova/Dreame for best results on hardwood.
