"significantly worse object avoidance than than the Dreame x40 and L40 ... The best feature of the L40/X40/p10 pro ultra is that they have class leading object avoidance so you don't have to pick up your cat's toys or prep your house every time you want to run the robot meaning you can run it on a daily schedule which will keep your house cleaner. ... I run my X40s daily and they never get stuck on cables, cat toys and other random junk that ends up on the floor."
"The obstacle avoidance is also very good and I only have the pet in house setting on for pet messes and it recognizes my fake dog poop all the time and drive around it."
"The unit was an upgrade from a Roomba S9. That unit did a good job of vacuuming but was very prone to having problems with obstacles. For example, it would launch itself up onto the circular rod -like bases of several of my chairs and become stuck there. They Roborock 10R correctly recognized all of the bases as something to avoid. Some of them get labeled as chair bases and others simply as wires. It has avoided every obstacle."

"I also have two giant long haired (nonshedding excessively) cats. I shed hair a LOT. Worse than the cats. It works so well."
"It works great with long hair and long haired corgi fur in my home. This is absolutely tangle free in my use and the correct cover can stop hair from going to the sides."
"mopping is BETTER than i do."

"The Quevo S really made me appreciate the large tanks of clean/dirty water at the base stations and it's auto washing features. ... every time I wanted to mop I had to manually refill the water and replace the pads... Which just resulted in me not mopping that often."
"I have an X40 Master and would not want to go back to filling and emptying water tanks. ... I have a lot of floor area so depending on how much water I set my earlier model robot to use, it could run out before the clean is finished. The X40 Master solves that problem completely."
"it even re-mopped when it sensed the water coming off the pads was excessively dirty--a feature I scoffed at initially, but was pleasantly surprised by."

"Based on the YouTube review below, we picked up a Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2 and holy cow the difference is night and day. ... If you go Dreame, make sure you get the tricut brush as well, it's what really changes things. ... We have two Goldens running around the house, and now that I've set up the D10 with tricut brush to run at night right before the X1 Omni, the hair tumbleweeds are gone and I no longer have to clean hair out of the vacuum rollers. ... TL;DR: Non-carpet flooring with pets? Get a Dreame vacuum and a Tricut brush."
"The vacuuming is really good at picking up all dog hair (4 dogs, 2 of which are huskies)."
"Twin rollers are a bit nicer if you’ve got pets that shed a ton ... Twin rollers are genuinely helpful for pets. They grab more hair and are less prone to tangles compared to the single roller, so that’s the biggest dog-owner benefit."

"The extendable mop pad feature is a must-have. ... It was actually able to mop slightly under appliances, and where there was baseboard or a hard edge, the mop ran all the way up against it."

"stopped doing edges ... each week it got worse at navigation, essentially only doing half rooms ... stopped sweeping and mopping anywhere it transitioned from rug to floor ... It would leave 2 ft circumference around every rug unswept which was horrible near dog doors and the rug in front of them (main reason I got vacuum!) ... But was not willing to deal with it stopping sweeping the entire floor. ... It was glitching out around edges"
"It gives up quickly and does not map well. ... For example, first time out, it was unable to leave the kitchen. ... So it mapped the kitchen and a space outside the kitchen that it could see was called a room. But it was only able to see 30% of the actual room. ... It did not update the map as the dreame would each run. ... Sent out for a remap. Got the center room and failed to get the hallway that did not have a threshold to cross, got 20% of another room it could't get in and didn't place a wall where there was a wall."
"failed to dock itself almost 80% of the time. ... Its right wheel couldn’t get on the ramp, so it didn’t even get near the contacts."

"My qrevo 5ae ran over my foot not 15 minutes ago :p Roborocks evolving backwards! ... my qrevo 5ae just climbs on chair legs and low furniture parts where it shouldn't. ... Bit dissapointed in the avoidance on my Qrevo 5ae. It always tries to climb up on chair legs when it's not required. ... Ah, you'd think so, but that doesn't seem possible atm. I discussed it with Roborock in a support email. In a different reddit thread we came up with the idea of a "no-climb" feature, but it's not on the short-term roadmap. ... You can make it a no go zone, but then it doesn't clean around those bits of furniture. ... We have chairs with shiny metal legs. The vacuum has problems detecting them. I think it's because the lidar reflects of of it in a confussing way. ... main concern is the height of the lidar. Anything below the height of the robo vac is less easily detected."
"I had to replace roller twice because object detection was lacking and roller tore."
"it will eat cords like there is no tomorrow."

"Yes. It does not spin on Carpet which is the same as Dreame. Dreame however 9 months later implemented the ability to spin the brush on carpet if you wanted to via the app. ... Dreame, meanwhile, it took nearly a year to enable side brush spinning on carpets, and Roborock now faces pressure to implement similar improvements."
"I have an X40, which I wouldn’t recommend for carpet owners even with the tricut brush."
"cuz it should run brush on carpets..newest update to make that happen seems to cause other problems?"

"Support had me go through all the usual troubleshooting steps — no fix. ... I was told a replacement had been “processed” and would ship. ... It’s now been nearly two weeks and my order is still showing as “processing”. ... I’ve exchanged 24+ emails with Support. The replies are all scripted apologies and vague “please wait” responses. ... Their site promises 3–5 days for new orders, yet for a replacement I’ve paid almost $500 for, I’ve received nothing. ... I’ve asked for a refund policy and escalation, but I keep getting ignored."
"I have never faced such a horrible service from any products in my life. ... Their service is ridiculous. ... The technician would come home and then inspect the device and raise a ticket for the spare part. So the spare part will be couriered to the customer directly after 2 or 3 weeks. Once this reaches your home, the technician will come again and replace that part. This is ridiculous. ... They don't provide service, they don't provide warranty. ... n one of my friends case, they had denied warranty saying there is fungus on board and its caused by water damage."
"Ecovacs has the worst after sales of any company in any place of the world I have ever experienced. ... The company won’t take responsibility and goi around in circles. ... They wasted more than 6 months after talk to multiple people and site visits and it was escalated till the head of the after sales who I will name clearly: Tanmay Gangani, who is an absolute unprofessional and blatant liar with no sense of responsibility and ethics."

"My 2000pa wyze robot vacuum has much better hard floor pickup performance than my 12000pa Dreame x40."
"I have a Xiaomi robot made by dreame that uses the same dustbin as the X40 ultra. This is how much fur it gets every morning. https://preview.redd.it/9edw1042217f1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=923a84c91ae678589d54fe338015c0071d0835ed ... I run my robot twice a day because it ’ll choke on my dog’s fur if it ran once a day."
"Out of the two Dreame models you asked about, I'd go with the X50 if its superior vacuuming and fur cleaning you're looking for. ... X40 isn't a bad machine at all, but for medium carpets with dog fur shedding, I'd go X50 and be happy with the purchase the first time around rather than wishing I had went with the other model."
Quick answer: Yes Explanation: Whilst spinning mops were more of a "it maintains a clean floor reasonably well" deal. The rollers are a "I can clean the entire house properly without you doing anything" deal. Some will argue they are worse with dried on stains, which I guess is true, but reality is, with my Aqua 10 has rarely seen a stain which it did not remove on the first pass. Anything from like dirty shoe footprints to oil from cooking it picked up in one pass. (If that botters you, you can just quickly spray the dirty stains with some water before it passes over it, so it is a bit soaked I guess, but in my experience the X40 also had problems with such stains). Now lastly maintenance. And honestly, this is the main issue, right now we are using first gen rollers, which the manufacturers didn't really take time to consider how the products themselves would be cleaned. I found that having it vacuum, and then vacuum and mop was the best way to prevent any debris entering the mopping system, so no need to clean it every week, rather every 2 weeks maybe.
r/RobotVacuums • Are roller mops the only sensible choice now? ->Eufy has excellent customer service. They sent me replacement parts for S1 Pro and took a follow-up 2 times to make sure all was working fine. Dreame customer service sucks. I have feeling no 1 over there understand basic English or the translation app they use is joke. I was able to dispute the situation with my credit card and got a refund for $1800. Never buying that crap again. This was my 2nd X40 purchase for my parents.
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame is a scam ->I‘ve got the x40 and i‘m super happy so far. We have both hard floor and rugs and it cleans them really well.
r/RobotVacuums • Which one of these 3? ->If it makes you feel better L40 and X40 no better
r/Dreame_Tech • This is how bad the L20 is at the vacuuming carpets / rugs. ->Pleased you are amused. What is the point in telling people bull shit. I've had an L20, L40, X40. The only one with no issues was the L20 and is still going strong. The L40 and X40 were replaced twice. I've had problems with Samsung . . I'm currently running a roborock, useless with obstacle avoidance, excellent on carpet, and a Eufy E28, very good but a very basic app. It isn't just about Dreame it's about giving no bull shit honest opinions
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame L50 Ultra Durability ->Hmm . . X40 and x50 I tried both poor. L50 best one I've had
r/Dreame_Tech • Confused by Dreame’s naming? Here’s a simple cheat sheet. ->I am often surprised, and offended at how much difference there is in premium robots (which is what I tend to test, rather than budget or midrange). You should expect, if you pay that much, for a robot to work. This problem is much worse in lawnbots, but there is no condition under which I would purchase a Roomba or Eufy on purpose. Doesn't matter what model. I'm most impressed by Roborock, Dreame and Ecovacs. That said, each model is different. For instance, I thought the X40 was just fine. Didn't blow me out of the water. But I think the X50 is quite good, although it still has some navigation issues. I haven't tested the Monsga line, sorry.
r/RobotVacuums • I write about robot vacuums for a living. AMA. ->Damn I really wish to have a full review from you on the X40, it's kind of my favorite (bought two, first on December, the second one today, and thank god no need of support just yet) and I always love hearing reviews that compare it to other robot vacuums, because in my eyes and in my experience - it's perfect, yet I hear so many complaints about it that I just keep on praying to never need to use the warranty...
r/Roborock • Saros 10R 24 Hour Review ->I really appreciate the thorough response man, truly. I hope you never need customer service 💪🏽 and it seems to be a global thing with Dreame, as the complaints go from country to country as I hear them... I just really hope to never need them. And tbh, in my country they didn't bring the Saros 10R, only the 10, so I wasn't so keen in getting it with the vibrating moppad.. Also the retractable Lidar that has expiry times-of-use threw me off a little.. So I ended up considering either another X40 or Ecovacs x8 for the roller-mop, but ecovacs' last release here got destroyed in reviews, and so I just decided to go with what I know (and love, for now lol)
r/Roborock • Saros 10R 24 Hour Review ->Can only speak from my own experience, but I’ve had the X40 since December last year and had no issues with it- apart from a dodgy software update that was fixed in a week. It cleans a large 2 bedroom flat with a short haired dog most days and the communal hallway twice a week all in its stride. The hallway has a set of stairs at the end and never had any problems with its fall avoidance. I would say to use distilled water if like me you live in a hard water area.
r/RobotVacuums • Which one of these 3? ->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.
r/smarthome • Considering a robovac, is there anyone out there that truly frees you from having to clean the mop yourself? ->I’ve got a Dreame x40, and my sister in law has a Dreame l30. We’re both super happy with them.
r/RobotVacuums • Need help choosing between 3 robo vac/mops. ->I live in a one bedroom NYC apartment with wood, tile and low pile carpet. I have 2 dogs who shed constantly and a beautiful wife who also sheds constantly. I previously had an X 40 ultra. It was constantly getting tangled, even with the tri cut brush. Plus, after a few months it really just wasn’t picking up debris. Even though I serviced the filters, base station etc. So far with the L50 I haven’t had any of those issues. The only real complaint I have is the battery life and its navigation/map took a few weeks to really dial in with my apartment.
r/RobotVacuums • Long hair friendly Auto Vacuum? ->I just bought the X40, and if what you say is true, your robot should last me at least 10 years, given how well you make your products… Pain point: pet hair getting stuck on wheels and brush, despite tricut. Other than that i am pretty happy so far! P.s. I live in EU, so a nice sale would he nice… why do always US get the best sales?? You could give us some love for having governments that dont hate on China!
