I’ve got a Dreame x40, and my sister in law has a Dreame l30. We’re both super happy with them.

Haven't bought this in India - but I use a Dreame L30S Ultra. I live in a double story, with 1000 sq ft ground level. It takes around 1.5 hours to do a combined vac & mop or about 2.5 to first vac and then mop the ground level. White it avoids obstacles, you can't have tiny things or cables on the floor - they get stuck and require manual intervention. Cleaning is pretty good though here's a before and after post some renovation work - plaster dust. https://preview.redd.it/bw710p4dgo7g1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f33e94b502ffc23c05608ca195441264a240c371

Thank you for this. After this endorsement I’ve finally placed an order. Was meaning to go ahead with L10S Ultra, but then some hidden charges made it slightly more expensive and I went with a discounted Dreame L30 Ultra S for a little bit more than the L10. Judging by the Dreame product page it is identical to the L10S Ultra other than having 13kPa. Fingers crossed it works well for me too. Thank you All.

In Australia, only the L30 Ultra S, the L40S Ultra/Pro Ultra and the X50 Ultra are the new available models. There’s no L50 yet.

If you have pets or long hair, want a robot that cleans itself better, and have greasy kitchen floors, the L40S Ultra will be a better choice. The L30 Ultra S is a good choice for more carpeted floors since you can use the rubber brush.

The S9 should vacuum better than the Narwal Freo Z Ultra. NarWal’s main strength is in mopping so it seems they’ve made tradeoffs where their mopping is market leading but their vacuuming isn’t compared to other flagships. For dreame/MOVA’s obstacle avoidance, I’ll say they’ve been pretty good since the X/L30 Ultra.

1. Anything that moves can break. So I suggest buying from a retailer with a good return policy + a good protection plan. 2. For base station cleaning: Dreame (some models), eufy, Narwal, roborock, and Xiaomi have completely removable mop washboards. I’m not a fan of the wiper driven mop washboards on the Dreame X/L30 and X/L40 ultra and the MOVA P10 Ultra/Pro Ultra simply because there’s too many nook and crannies to clean. However their new aceclean dryboard on the L/V/X50 Ultra and newer is much easier to clean even when only the filter is removable since there’s no nooks and crannies for dirt to hide in and dirt only really collects under the removable filter which is easily removed with a wet wipe or a Clorox wipe. I’d avoid bagless base stations. Spinning mop combo robots are less maintenance than roller mop robots.

I have a Xiaomi M30S (mainland Chinese model) made by dreame. You can set the whole house, selected room(s) or even a custom area you can draw to either: vacuum only, vacuum and mop at the same time, vacuum first then mop, or just mop. As for battery, I can’t really advise as battery consumption is generally different on different models and the time taken not only depends on how good the robot’s navigation is but also how complex the robot thinks the home is.

Dreame L30 Ultra S fills and empties dust bag and water to mop, heats water, adds detergent and cleans and dries mop pads after

If you’ve got a smaller 2-bed unit with mostly hard floors, the **L30 Ultra S is more than enough** — same core cleaning tech, and still supports auto-empty and mop washing. You’ll just miss out on some of the extra automation and FlexiArm coverage. ✅ Go L40S Ultra **if**: * You’ve got pets or long hair (dual brushes help a ton) * You want the best self-cleaning + dock functions * You care about that extra edge mopping with FlexiArm Otherwise, save the $250 AUD — L30 Ultra S will still crush daily cleaning.

I can't say that object avoidance has been an issue for me. If anything else, the Deebot T50 Pro Omni was so object averse that it might as well didn't leave the dock at all. The Dreame L30 Ultra S was probably a balance between power and navigation, though the build quality was not as good as the S7 Max Ultra.

It’s not the best model and probably not the best brand out there, but I’m very very happy with my Dreame E30 Ultra that I got from Costco. Self-emptying, decent cleaning, vacuums + washes. It takes a few hours to do my 900sqft condo, but it kinda just goes to charge, refill and do whatever else on its own. I just start it and forget about it unless the tanks need tending to (empty dirty/add clean water)
