Dreame - L10s Pro Gen 2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop

# TLDR: Get the **L10s Pro** if it's within budget. If not, **D10 Plus** is the best bang for the buck **with a base**. Auto-empty is a game-changer in a dusty home. # Model Rundown: # ✅ L10s Pro * **Best cleaning performance** of the group (top-tier suction + obstacle avoidance) * **Does wet mopping well** with rotating pads * No base, but solid overall * **Best for large apartments** if you don’t mind emptying it manually # ✅ L10s (non-Pro) * Older, still solid * Has AI navigation and **comes with an auto-empty base** * Slightly weaker suction than Pro, less smart avoidance # ✅ D10s Pro * Decent suction and basic lidar nav * **No base** * Good for smaller or simpler homes — not ideal for large, dusty spaces unless you’re OK emptying it often # ✅ D10 Plus * Similar to D10s Pro but **comes with a base** * Very basic navigation (bumps into stuff sometimes), but **great value** for the price # Why the Base Matters (especially with dust): If your place gets dusty and you’re busy (or just hate emptying bins daily), the base makes life *so* much easier. You can go a couple of weeks without touching the robot. Totally worth it if that’s a pain point. # 🏆 Recommendation Based on Budget Priorities: * **Top pick overall**: L10s Pro (best clean + navigation, even without base) * **Best value with base**: D10 Plus * **All-around balance**: L10s (base + decent mopping) Let me know your price ceiling and I can tell you exactly what to grab and what to skip.

Ah, got it — thanks for the context! If you’re choosing between the **L10s Pro** and **Roborock models**, it really depends which Roborock you're comparing against. But here’s how they usually stack up: # [Dreame L10s Pro](https://tin.al/L10sPro) * Strong suction (5300Pa) * Reactive obstacle avoidance (3D structured light sensor) * Great mop with rotating pads * No base, but good bin size * Excellent value *if* you don’t mind manual bin emptying # Comparable Roborock Models: * **Q7 Max/Q7 Max+**: Great suction, but no rotating mop. Avoids L10s Pro-level mopping. * **Q8 Max**: Similar cleaning to L10s Pro, slightly better app features. Usually lacks mop rotation. * **S7/S7+**: VibraRise mop is cool, but suction weaker than L10s Pro. * **S8/S8+**: Stronger than L10s Pro but likely more expensive in Armenia. If prices are close, **Roborock has slightly more refined software**, but **Dreame gives you more raw performance per dollar**. **Suggestion:** If the L10s Pro is affordable locally and you don’t need the auto-empty base, it’s probably the best choice right now. If Roborock S8 or Q Revo is somehow similarly priced, then it’s worth a second look. Happy to compare model vs. model if you let me know which Roborocks you’re eyeing!

Thanks for the extra details — that helps a ton. You're right to focus on mopping performance, especially if you don’t have carpets. In that case, *rotating mops* (like on the L10s Pro) usually outperform the VibraRise vibration pads on the S8/S8 Pro when it comes to actual scrubbing power on hard floors. The Dreame setup is more aggressive and consistent for stuck-on grime. Quick breakdown now that I know: ✅ **Dreame L10s Pro** * Rotating mop pads = better for homes with mostly hard floors * Suction is excellent (basically tied with S8) * Great overall hardware for the price * Main limitation: no auto-empty base, but you already accepted that tradeoff ✅ **Roborock S8 / S8 Pro** * Strong suction and dual brush system * Vibration mop is solid, but less effective than Dreame’s rotation in most daily use * Cleaner UI, smarter map features * S8 Pro adds auto mop lifting, which is helpful *only* if you had carpets (you don’t) ✅ **Q8 Max+** * A little newer than S8, cheaper, and adds some S8-level features (like dual brushes) * No rotating or vibrating mop * You’d downgrade mopping if you switched 🎯 **Bottom Line:** You made a solid pick with the L10s Pro *for your use case* — no carpets, hard floors, care about mop quality, and don’t need the base. Suction is more or less tied across these models, but Dreame gives you better scrubbing where it counts. If you’re still tempted by the S8 Pro, ask yourself: Would you pay extra *just* for map interface, firmware polish, and base compatibility? If not, stick with the L10s Pro and don’t look back. You got the right tool for the job.

Xiaomi models made by dreame would be good. I had the Xiaomi S10+ as a housewarming gift and it worked great. You can use it with the dreame TriCut brush so fur will no longer get tangled with the brush. It’s cheap to get the real one on AliExpress. The price varies a lot by region though. It’s not very good at avoiding cables but good at mopping up my dog’s drool (you have to clean the mops afterward and dampen it before any mopping run). You could also consider the S20+ if you’d like it to be able to lift its mops. Both aren’t the best at obstacle avoidance as they are dreame models with some features castrated like a RGB camera for AI computer vision. It worked well at avoiding my dog’s decently big toys (4cm tall on the ground). If you want better obstacle avoidance you can look to the original dreame models like the Dreame L10s Pro Gen 2 Robot Vacuum (LDS only and 299). If you want an auto empty dock (recommended for shedding friends), you could look to Roborock’s Q5 Max+ or the Dreame L10s Plus. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-robot-vacuum/

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.

Wow, what a detailed comparison! Since you're the dream guru, do you happen to know if the app is the same for the L10sPro Gen 2 and the D9 Mac Gen 2? I ask because I recently got the L10sPro Gen 2, and I really love the app—it has some awesome features. However, I'm not too impressed with the mopping; it leaves round streaks. I'm considering switching to the D9 Mac Gen 2 since it has one big mop pad, but I don't want to lose the app's features. Thanks in advance!

Good to know it would be a downgrade. I did have a Bobsweep pet slam with static mop pad and it cleaned amazing well (until the machine died) but i do like the L10s' ability to switch to vacuum when it encounters a door mat. From your comparison sheet, i looks like the D9 does not have as good object detection. I'll try your suggestions.

using the low water option helped a bit. can still see swirl pattern. i'm going to get another set of pads (i was handwashing the one set i have) hope that will help.

I don’t understand what is compelling you (& others) to disagree here. Dreame devices and rotating mop heads apply only enough pressure to really wipe something down (not scrub), the warranty is voided if you use cleaner in them, and they in no way disinfect or disappear bacteria. like I’m glad your floors look sparkling, mine do, too (the L10s second gen, the one I chose, has upgraded features and a stronger motor compared to the L20…that is, before it gave up on doing anything) but they are not actually clean lol

I really like my dreame L10s pro gen 2 … it is the upgraded dreame model (stronger than their ultra model with a base) with rotating disk mop pads, but it comes with no base. This does mean - cons: - that you have to manually wash mop pads - I bought a few extras - you have to refill the water tank/empty dust bin more often (I’ll pause a mop cleaning to rinse pads between big rooms) but pros: - under $350cad at my time of purchase - much smaller square footage / no ugly base in my tiny apartment, and less plastic waste in the event the tech craps out - no deep cleaning or maintenance needed for a base … personally for me, regular maintenance and attention to machine while it is going is easier than remembering to deep clean a base filled with water and chemicals and weeks-old grime. Plus it keeps the mop head wetter/cleaner/more efficient during sessions when I do it myself vs machine kinda rinsing it every so often. This might be the exact opposite of what other people need, but idk. the fancy ones were also just straight-up outta my price range so it was the biggest factor for me ultimately, but I have no regrets. would choose this version again even if I had the funds in future (until the primo versions that connect to water pipes and have self-emptying bases and a rolling mop bar.. like the SwitchBot… become the norm and more wallet-friendly, maybe) God I sound like a walking ad (dreame plz pay me) but it’s been a game changer sooooo…

I recently bought this and am very happy with it. Alternative model for me could have been the dreame l10s pro gen 2 which also has mop lift and carpet detection, but it’s way more expensive. There is nothing with these features in this price range except the s20+

Thank you! I eventually ordered a Dreame l10s Pro, but I have some doubts, particularly after seeing videos like this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XebDiGqY5MM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XebDiGqY5MM) It's also an Ultra version of Dreame so not entirely accurate for my case. But I think that suction power is more or less the same for l10s Pro and S8. Not sure if it's accurate. Actually Roborock S8 and even S8 Pro would have comparable price in Armenia, and I could stretch a little bit and order Q8 Max+. But I thought that rotating mops would be somewhat better in most situations. Also, I don't have carpets.

From my experience. Roborock Q8 very good for the price, S7 Maxv little better than S8, both great, Dreame L10S Pro as great. The newer more expensive stuff is even little better like X40 Ultra, but it has the docks.. Electrolux i9.2 had suprisingly good obstacle avoidance, could even avoid small cables, but god did that robot suck in anything else.

I have 2 Dreame L10S, the gen 1 and the gen 2. about $400 each. they work very well and integrate into HA.

My x50 is great!! 😊 best robot vac I’ve ever invested in. Owner for a 4 months but it’s suction and mopping ability really help maintain home cleanliness and we love all the app featrues. I still use a cord less z20 when I need to do more deep carpet cleaning. Also places the bot can’t go I do need to grab my z20 to do places that robot just can’t go. Upgraded from a L10sgen2 which was great for about 4yrs. We almost bought the x40 ultra but really wanted that extra suction and dual detangle brush.

I will 2nd the dreame L 10. I’m fucking amazed at how well it works. We have two dogs and three cats and my wife back moved, prior to buy a mess, daily as well as mopped a couple to few times a week. We wake up every morning with gorgeous clean floors. Like I said, I’m truly amazed. Recent cleaning https://i.imgur.com/BXWtZEn.png

I just bought a L 10 second generation and I’m blown away.

I read this stuff and wonder to myself did I get the only properly functioning robot but then I remember I have 2 and both of them function just fine. L20 Ultra and L10S. Is it just people with no issues say nothing? Are people not doing regular maintenance? I am not doubting anything said here but am genuinely confused as to how there can be so many issues.

L40 Ultra with current in store promotions will definitely make the decision a lot easier, since it can be had for $399 before tax, plus they throw in free gifts with purchase. It's a better overall model than the L10s with more suction, battery, better self washing and washboard cleaning as well. It's a steal for the price and if you were considering one over the other, I'd say overall L40 Ultra is a great value product in the market right now. Hope this helps narrow down the search a little for you, and if any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. happy hunting!

I've never checked mine empties great - L10s

Dreame gen2 is better ;)

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.

I don't recommend Dreame if you use an Android phone. I bought an L10s last year. It was connecting at first but after a reset it wouldn't connect to my Pixel at all. It did seem to work with my mother's iPhone but that wouldn't be useful for me so I returned it. The other big thing was that when I went to leave a negative review due to all the frustration, the review never got posted. I was fair and simply stated that for me it didn't work well with Android. I rewrote and submitted a few times; there was always a review waiting period but it was never posted. The fact that most of the Chinese robot vacuums are rated so highly on Amazon, and the fact that these companies are connected to Xiaomi has left me very suspicious that the reviews are being manipulated or bought. Many of the YouTube reviews also seem paid without any declaration of being sponsored. In contrast, the reviews from Rtings or news sites were so much more critical. I don't want to support these type of shady companies so instead I bought a Shark which I have to try soon.

I'm between this and the dreame L10S Ugh

Ended up with Dreame

Dreame l10S or l20 if you are trying to save money Dreame x30 if you have a little more money to spend Dreame X40/L40 if you want the best. If you only have hardfloors, the Eufy S1 pro I also like the QRevo Slim if you want something from Roborock but I am disappointed with its Object avoidance capabilities when compared to Dreame and Eufy. Roborock in general is quite trash at obstacle avoidance and it makes it hard for me to trust their vacuums to run on a schedule without having to babysit them but their hardware is solid and reliable. Skip the Eufy x10 that so many shills like. It's got a lot of features that look good but in reality they aren't very well implemented. I had two of them and Eufy partially refunded me for both of them due to my experience with them. Good customer support, but a bad vacuum design that struggles to pick up anything on hardfloors. For the same money I would get a Dreame l10S or L20 instead. I posted my full review here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/s/AVD9Ph2eHK

Return both and get a Dreame L10S certified refurbished: [https://www.ebay.com/str/dreameinnovation/Refurbished/\_i.html?store\_cat=48519196012&\_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211](https://www.ebay.com/str/dreameinnovation/Refurbished/_i.html?store_cat=48519196012&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211) Dreame is running a sale right now and with the coupon code, the L10s is like $300 which is a steal. I have two certified refurbished X40s and they were practically brand new, no sign of previous use. Also comes with 2 year third party warranty so you don't have to deal with dreame's questionable warranty support team. Based on how much you get from returning the shark and roomba, you can get 2 L10s robots or maybe one x30/x40. The Dreame vacuums are far better for the money due to their advanced features like object avoidance and they have good vacuum performance. Roborock has good vacuum performance but severely lacks in the object avoidance realm. Eufy has good object avoidance but not so great vacuum performance. iRobot and Shark are in a tier below Dreame, Roborock and Eufy.

I love my Dreame L10S. They have higher end models but this was the most I wanted to shell out.

From what I’ve heard the mopping is more or less useless on the l60 whereas the dreame having the dual rotation mops would perform great if it’s anything like the other dreame’s. You could also buy the dreame tricut brush from AliExpress if the hair cutting tool that the l60 has is something you want.

Personally, I think the X40 is a better deal, but I've had good luck with the Dreame refurbs from the eBay official store. Just keep in mind, they usually come in a beat up box and the units are not always thoroughly cleaned either. One of my l10s models came with a smelly dirty water tank because whomever returned it, didn't bother to get all the water out.

So I bought a q revo and dreame l10s and compared them directly and ended up keeping the l10s because it seems to do a better job of mopping (and is willing to mop in skinnier areas of my hard floor around rugs). I don't mind the worse app with dreame, it's completely usable and reliable, just with weird translations. I genuinely like the roborock carpets first feature but I don't miss it with scheduling. If you can afford the l40 ultra, that's what I would buy for the best features (hot water mop washing, self cleaning washboard, water turbidity sensor, mop extend & lifting brush, hair cutting roller). How much more expensive are the premier q revo models in your area (the master, slim, edge, curv)? If theyre the same price (or you can afford the slight increase) I'd get those for the best of both worlds: premier features and the superior roborock app.

3" fibers but a little flat. All my robots this far have gotten bogged down on it. Roborock qrevo and dreame l10s at least made it off 🤷🏾‍♂️ I think the adaptilift robots may work for it.

Yeah with people making retail purchases like a robot vacuum, I would advise buying 2, trialing them, and returning one. It's a huge purchase so it should be perfect 🤷🏾‍♂️ If they have the credit/capital to do that ofc. I did that for the original q revo vs my dreame l10s. I didn't think the roborock commanded that $100 price difference at the time (for me).

Yes, I do. We have at home the Dreame L10S, very powerful, friendly with our pet, we have a dog that shed a lot of hair and it cleans like a champ. I think that the best features that could work for you and your family is that it's very quiet while working around, in addition to its auto empty feature. It's really a very good option.

Identify the features you want and go from there. Let the features drive the realistic price. For me that was Lidar, self-empty, mopping pads that spin and not just dragged behind. Those features ended up with me getting a Dreame L10s for around $700

Dreame L10s is what I have with 5 kids. I like it

I have the Dreambot L10s we don't have any tatami so I can't speak to that but I have had literally no complaints.

The firmware doesn’t change in terms of features. The cloud gets replaced by valetudo locally. You can also get one and never hook it up to WiFi. I operated my dreams L10s for about two months by just pressing buttons before I rooted it.

No clue. Never used the first party app. I bought it, operated it without WiFi using the buttons for a while, the rooted it and connected it. This is the suggested way. No initial WiFi prevents enforced updates potentially closing the rooting option.

L10 can clean 20m2 in 19 mins in real world use, L20 with more technical cleaning pushed that up to 29 mins, The L40 with the best cleaning and mop extras etc is 36 mins. The x40..... Same setup as the other 3.....47minutes and it doesn't to as good a job as the L10v2..... I'm just giving honest reviewing! I was very surprised the L40 smashed the x40!

YES. It is most definitely that bad. It’s bad on hard floors but god forbid you run it on a carpet. I have a video of it just plowing through fake dog poop on carpets. Edit: I have owned both the roomba j series and dreame l series, and both are so so much better.

I tested the roomba j series and the l series from dreame and both perfectly did the test

I tested the roomba j series and the l series from dreame and both perfectly did the test

Because both my Dreame L series and Roomba J series did the same test flawlessly

For crevices, you need a robot with a bristle main brush. Dreame L series and Mova usually use rubber brushes, which, according to reviewers on YT, don't pick up dust in crevices well unlike bristle ones. Some Roborock model like Q5 Pro, Q8 Max, Qrevo S, and QV35A/S also uses a similar brush. I think if you don't mind with prices, E28 or E25 is a good candidate because its roller mop is superior. Roborock also has a new lineup called S5A which is the cheaper version of Qrevo Edge. Now it's $899 on Amazon. S5A uses a similar Duo Divide split brush as in Qrevo Edge and Eufy E28, a self-empty station, and obstacle avoidance but only using structured light without a live camera.

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.

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.

Just get the top level dreamebot or roborock (same company owns both). Their robots do an excellent job, and the app works really well!

Looks like you’re right, they are technically not both currently owned by xiaomi, but they share a ton of similarities. My coworker has a dreamebot and his app, replacement parts, features are nearly identical to my roborocks.

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.
