X40 Pro Ultra

I have the very same issue in the kitchen. I had a X40 pro and it was already not the best. But the aqua roller is worse! I tried ten days and really gave it a chance. But I really don’t see one single reason for keeping it. Very disappointing

I tried the aqua 10 roller and I was surprised by the results. In a bad way. My guess is that there is not enough pressure on the floor with this system. The robot is not heavy enough and the result is really less than average. As comparison I also have the X40 from Dreame and it is way more efficient. I sent the aqua 10 back.

i advise you don't do it. i bought a dreame X40 pro plus and it is region locked. i had to subscribe to some russian guy and speak to him via translator to bypass the region lock, at the same time needing a china number. Plus the issue of warranty. robots spoil often coz it's used daily. especially the battery. i had to break the robot up to fix it myself a few times already. not forgetting, once u use the china server in app, i cant see my other device in my dreame singapore version for my vacuum mop at the same time. and it's always a constant race to beat dreame at their game before they block again in the future, ill just get the global version. also, it's blocked again now and im just lazy to bypass already. so luckily i have scheduled already set up and at least it can be voice controlled via CHINESE.. so language is another issue

The new Dreame X50 autowash dock has had great praise, with people saying it effectively cleans itself and you will never have to maintain it outside of emptying the tray that catches larger debris. The x50 also can clear the thresholds supposedly. There is also the master version or even the ultra with the pipe hookups, then the only real maintenance will be the dust bag and the cleaning solution bottle. Then a weekly maybe even a monthly maintenance on it will likely suffice. I have a robovac that was released 3 years ago, and has voice commands, alongside scheduling, remote operation through the app, over the internet live video feed and control, voice calling through the robovac itself. Plenty of tools and features to help OP in their situation, and that is a much older model at this point

Similar experience here (also AU) - I has the X40 Ultra worked perfectly for 17 months and then just died entirely. Sent in for servicing got it back and it was "fixed" in that it would now turn on and the motors worked but other than that it was still useless as it couldn't even complete a mapping run. Dreame wanted to have another go at fixing it but I refused as their service centre is obviously incompetent (I'd have at least expect them to test it after "fixing" it). Anyway, the robot's on it's way back to them and I'm now waiting on a refund. I bought directly from Dreame.

My X40 worked perfectly for 17 months and then died (like totally died - it wouldn't do anything). It went back for servicing and when I got it back at least its motors would work - but it couldn't navigate at all - I couldn't use it as it couldn't complete a map. And the amount of effort it took me to get them to accept it back for servicing in the first place was ridiculous. I'm sure the first 2 or even 3 replies you get are from bots regurgitating stock "try this & try this" steps. I'm currently at 6 weeks waiting for a solution.

Just don't. At all. Get some other brand instead. I was happy with my X40 for 18 months until it completely broke down, sent it back to be fixed (they wanted the entire thing - dock & all), finally got it back and it still didn't work. I'm now attempting to get a refund as I don't even want it anymore.

My X40 made it to 17 months. Never buying Dreame again after suffering through their "support" process.

Dreame X40 Ultra here, had it since moving into new house with all hardwood floors and we have not mopped or vacuumed once since. We run it every night (two story house so we run it when we are asleep) have set it up to go daily with a mixture of deep clean, vacuum then mop and fast cleaning throughout the week. The only extra we do is occasionally use the swifter microfibres sweeper to dust behind the couch and around the side board to get any dust out so that Meryl can pick it up (our vacuum is called Meryl Sweep). 100% recommend. Caveat, no kids no pets unless you count the fish tanks.

this is easy! Freo Z uses too much water, you have to refill it ALL THE TIME. hard pass. Dreame x40 is.. good... but not great. The S8 MaxV Ultra is truly great.

I did. I thought the x50 was a nice upgrade, but the x40 was ok.

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.

Recently got a Dreame X40 Ultra, it’s pretty nice. Can’t think of anything else I’d need from a vacuum. I just change the water containers; liquid detergent usage is pretty minimal so it’ll last months. Love that the mops are detachable magnetic pads instead of the velcro type and it automatically washes & dries them at the base station
