Dreame - X30 Ultra

I’m a big fan of my dreame x30

As long as you have a 'no questions asked' decent return policy....then it's an OK model. (I think the battery may be a little less than average before it has to return to the dock.) Put it through it's paces a lot. I mean a lot! You don't want to find an intermittent problem that only becomes apparent after the return period has expired.

Personally would go with the X30. The Qrevo S has super basic object avoidance, and even the Roborocks with advanced avoidance can easily get stuck. Dreame tends to do really well for hard floors and has some of the best object avoidance. The software is a bit less polished but the clean tends to be better imo. Is the Mova P10 Pro Ultra available in Canada? MOVA is a Dreame subsidiary and that vacuum is basically identical to the Dreame X40 (but for $600 USD).

With your concerns, definitely get the Dreame! Furniture library might be a tad bit limited, but I’ll just use something close enough that they have. Dreame definitely does best with navigating around furniture. Dreame app has lots of features in it! Definitely not limited like your Ecovacs experience The Dreame has some tech that I can’t remember off the top of my head that makes it really good with avoidance. I believe it’s infrared sensors (on top of other sensors), which my Dreame and Roborock s7 MaxV have, but not the Qrevo Master.

Dreame's and MOVA's robots with an extending mop will excel at cleaning edges like these since the algorithm is very aggressive compared to other brands. Any model from the X30 Ultra and newer or the P10 Pro Ultra and newer can do this.

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 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.

Ended up getting the Dreame X30. The navigation is quite impressive and seems to address the concerns I had. Mopping and vacuuming seem to be on par with the price point as well. No issues with the app and it seams to have the granularity I’m looking for. Thanks for your advice!

I have the dream x30. Wonderful robot. Have it set up to vacuum and mop daily and floors are great. One feature I thought I'd never care for is the remote access. You can connect to the robot and drive it around. Been useful on vacation.

I had the dreame x30 and returned it because the obstacle avoidance was too sensitive. Maybe try the Dreame brand, it seemed to be decent at avoidance, annoyingly so lol

I have a Dreame X30 and bought the cutting blade for it. It has a blade under the bristles so it can cut the hairs into smaller pieces. It doesn’t cut cords though. It has object detection to avoid things like toys and poop. Buy the refurbished version from the official store on EBay. There’s often a 20% off coupon. The refurbs are just new units they sell discounted so it doesn’t undercut the new ridiculous sales price. I’ve had it for about 9 months now and it’s been amazing. It vacuums and mops. It cleans its own mop pads and self empties.

Well I had a similar experience when I bought the X30. Sent it to them for repair, took 4 months to get it back, and it broke within 8 months. Sent to repair again, and complained about it to them that it takes a long time. I do feel like you that they take so long to reply to emails. I guess I got "lucky", in my case they sent me a free upgrade (X40), The only strange thing is that they told me to remove my negative review from Amazon to get the free upgrade.

My original X30 got a crack in the front wheel housing (after 4 months of daily use). I think it happened because I have 3 dogs and hair got caught up inside of the wheel, I wasn't aware until I noticed that it kept making a dragging noise and struggled to turn. I removed the front wheel and cleaned it, but it turns out that the hair was holding it together, so once cleaned the front wheel kept falling out due to the large crack. Dreame sent me a new X30. The issue I had with the second one was that it refused to drain and the overflow sensor stopped working, so after every session there was a huge puddle of water around the base station. It was either the pump had gone bad or there was a clog in the line inside of the base station. (Happened after 4 months of daily use)

Put some 2mm blocks under the bed so it can go under :) On a serious note, coming from dreame x30 that broke down and I'm on the market for a new one, I'm team roller mop. Can't even think of using vibrating or spinning mops now. Mova z60 for me.

Everything is Chinese after all and all the OEMs share resources on one level or another. I know dreame x30 was good to me but it was killed during transfer so I'm looking for a new one. So I believe no matter which company you buy it will be ok.
