Dreame - L10 Pro

Maybe it's the robot that doesn't perform well, I never heard that brand but I live in Italy and maybe that's why. I own 3 Golden Retrievers and live in an apartment, so they are 24/7 inside the house except for the walks, and let's also add the wife with long hair. My Dreame L10 Pro Plus (and my previous roborock qrevo as well) runs once or twice a day, vacuuming and mopping the floor of a 100 sqm apartment, every Sunday I clean the main brush from a few hair that gets tangled and I wash the mops and the washing pad. So, from my experience, if it's a well built robot it can easily clean the house daily without having to remove chunks of hair from it.

My journey so far: 2019 Roborock S5 or S6 2021 Dreame L10 Pro (moved to new apartment and gave Roborock to my roommate) 2025 Roborock Saros 10R Didn’t have any issue with any of them (although just recently bought Saros). Old Roborock is still working my fine in my friend’s apartment. Roborock and Dreame were considered solid, but now there are new companies like Eufy, Nawal or Mova. Cant say much about them. Didn’t have a need to buy replacement big parts, only filters, brushes and other things that require replacement from time to time. They are very cheap. You need to clean robot from time to time and empty dust bins. If it has a dedicated water compartment and you use it for moping, you will need to refill it and empty dirty water compartment (I do it every day, takes 2 minutes).

https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html This is one of the best ways to get full local control of robot vacuums. I would keep to ones from this list. I have only ever owned one of these, the Dreame L10 Pro. Its pretty good for sweeping up dust and small stuff. I run it daily and its bin is nearly full after about a week or two. Its not great for mopping or picking up large items. I have fully tiled floors.

It depends on your needs… I wanted Valetudo and personally I like compact vacuum cleaners and I don’t need/like any mopping so my go to model is the Dreame L10 Pro

Could be worth rechecking. Im using the integration with my L10 pro and using it with my dreame home account!

That bad? I currently have a Dreame L10 Pro that is not much use for mopping but has great job obstacle avoidance and isn't bad for the price point but I now need solid mopping capability and improved suction and corner cleaning.

Seconded for the Dreame bots + Valetudo. I’ve got an L10 Pro that is adorable and 100% locally controlled.

- Dreame robo vacuum flashed with valetudo: cheap, private and clean - Automatic blinds with HA control to automatically close/open on sunny side on hot days: always cool and no need to think about - esp-devices like wemos d1 Mini with esphome: super cheap all-round devices, generic base software with crazy variability and perfect HA integration

Did this and it’s perfect. The install is VERY involved and there’s some text that says “your thousand dollar robot is waste if you fuck up this part of the install” but once it’s done it’s amazing. All the advertised (by dreame) features work great including mapping, virtual zones, single room cleaning, schedules, etc are all great. You do definitely need to know what you’re doing though.

I have this one as well, but the version without the self emptying deck. I'm always scared of bugs climbing in there and nesting before I get to empty it. This being said, I love it, and it's not even my first Dreame: I've never been able to find a better quality/price deal.
