"The X40 is so far ahead in the object avoidance realm that it's not even a contest. ... I have my Dreame X40 running at midnight every day and never have to worry about it getting stuck on something or caught on something because it's object avoidance works so well, even in the dark and on all surfaces. ... It stays clear of cat toys, cords, socks, paper towels and all sorts of random household junk. ... the fact that I can run the Dreame daily will keep my house cleaner."
"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 object avoidance on the dreame is far better than the eufy. That'll really help with toys and other loose objects that you're sure to have with kids."

"Love how the mops extend and swing under low hanging places like my fridge and I could see an obvious difference in cleanliness as soon as I opened my fridge door to check how it did."
"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."

"I think its hands down the best all around option right now, especially once you hook it up to the water line and drain, i run it daily in our house and we got rid of our cleaning help because of it."
"I can basically always trust my X40 to finish a midnight cleaning session in the dark and wake up to find it sitting in its dock and have clean floors in the morning."
"It is the only vacuum (robot or otherwise) that the fur does not get stuck in the brushes! ... I have had it for 6 months and have not had to cut fur from the brushes yet."

"Each vacuum can clean each of my floors on max suction ~750sqft without having to stop and charge and each finishes in around 1-1.5 hours."
"Will probably need 2 runs if you put it on max suction, it does my 850 sqf mostly carpeted floor with 40% battery to spare on max."
"battery life holds up very well for a 200m² house"

"I've got a Dreame X40 specifically because it's supported by Valetudo. (Local only cloud replacement so you can use most of the features of the robot without needing any cloud services."
"Dreams X40 is the best if you want local control."
"when it comes to setting up schedules/zones, that can all be customized to your liking in the app. ... you specify you need zone mapping and scheduled cleaning for specific zones which you can most definitely program. for example: if you'd like room 1 and room 4 to only be vacuumed at 4pm but not room 2 and 5 then yes you can do this."

"I’m actually hoping the new Dreams firmware that allows the side brush on carpet rolls out soon. If it doesn’t, I think I’ll be disappointed because of have several area rugs that are close to walls that will not clean well without it. ... Really hoping firmware is released in the US soon for the X40 to allow the side brush on carpet. I’ll probably return it if it doesn’t because I think it I’ll reduce its effectiveness on my kitchen floors."
"the x40 ultra doesn't spin the side brush on carpet which makes it a no go if you have edge to edge carpets."
"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."

"careful with Dreame’s refurbished on ebay, they don’t really check if the robots are working so it’s up to your luck, once you’re beyond the 30 days return window they’ll stop responding and you’re basically on your own. ... I really vouched for their refurbished units but they totally disappointed me, replaced my unit that had a small problem with one completely broken (doesn’t turn on and all scuffed up) and fully ghosted me after previously responding within a few hours, likely because my return window closed. ... I’m currently going through multiple channels to get a resolution but have been without my vacuum for a week so far. Just destroying their reliability if u ask me. Buy new."
"Support was slow as fuck too. ... They would response once per day to my email even if I replied instantly. ... They created a shipping label, but I said fuick that I'd rather return it to Amazon and buy this roborock vacuum instead of waiting around for the robot to get to them, they look at it for weeks, then send it back to me saying they didn't find a problem."
"Dreame's support was so bad that I didn't even bother getting a new one, just wanted a refund. ... their support made me jump through massive hoops, spanning nearly 3 weeks, in order to get, what was initially just a replacement... but it was such a nightmare I ended to just telling them I wanted a refund, I didn't want the replacement anymore."

"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 is dangerous to trust it if you have a risk for pet accidents."
"because it thinks my rubber anti-fatigue kitchen mats are a cliff so it gets stuck on the mats (something my cheaper robot vacuums with Cliff sensors never had issues with) ... a common rubber kitchen mat that other robot vacuums have no issues with should be easy for a $1000+ robot. ... it's Cliff sensors are over sensitive and prevent my X40 from properly cleaning my kitchen with it getting up onto my anti-fatigue rubber rubber mats and then getting stuck on them since it thinks the edges are a cliff."

"The tricut brush which you can purchase and install does a excellent job preventing hair wrap but I have found it is significantly less effective on hard floors. ... It seems to do fine in most cases but I did notice the robot fails to pick up medium sized debris like cat treats. ... Yesterday I did some drywall patching and had some drywall chunks and pieces for the robot to pickup and the tricut brush just pushed the debris around and accumulated it in the brush guard failing to push it into the dustbin. ... It would appear to pick it up but when the robot turned around all the debris would be left at the spot where the robot turned."
"It would leave rolled up hair everywhere since day one"
"My 2000pa wyze robot vacuum has much better hard floor pickup performance than my 12000pa Dreame x40."
If you have hardwood flooring, get Eufy S1 Pro (best mopping device. No other vacuum is remotely close) If you have some carpets, get Dreame x40 Ultra (edge cleaning and mopping)
r/RobotVacuums • Best robot vaccum and mop ->I own x40 and s1 pro Eufy has excellent support. Dreame are ok it seems sometimes they don't understand what we are trying to say. I can be wrong, but it feels like they use Google Translate to reply to emails. They have better overall product 🙂 S1 Pro is best if you don't have carpets.
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame x40 is currently the best vacuum out there. ->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 ->Just got the [Dreame X40 Ultra ](https://www.reddit.com/user/Accurate_Shine5695/comments/1jhg9u6/best_highend_robot_vacuums_of_2025_a_quick/)and it’s a game changer for pet hair! Super strong suction, picks up all the fur without any issues. Plus, the vacuum AND mop combo is perfect for keeping everything spotless. The self-cleaning and self-emptying features are a big bonus, less hassle for me. Highly recommend if you’ve got pets!
r/RobotVacuums • Best Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair Now ->The Dreame X40 Ultra uses advanced LiDAR navigation and AI-powered object recognition to effectively detect and avoid obstacles, including small objects and potential hazards. Its upgraded sensors make it more reliable in handling unexpected messes compared to older models like the Roborock S7. While no RoboVac is 100% foolproof, the X40's smarter navigation significantly reduces the chances of mishaps like running through pet waste.
r/RobotVacuums • Best Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair Now ->That makes sense. I ordered an X40 Ultra because it was cheaper than L40, but I was deciding between it and the RR Qrevo Slim. I can’t decide how important object avoidance is since we usually clean the area up daily even though we have 4 kids. I’m actually hoping the new Dreams firmware that allows the side brush on carpet rolls out soon. If it doesn’t, I think I’ll be disappointed because of have several area rugs that are close to walls that will not clean well without it.
r/RobotVacuums • Bit the bullet, cancelled the Dreame L40 order and bought the Qrevo Slim ->Thanks! Really hoping firmware is released in the US soon for the X40 to allow the side brush on carpet. I’ll probably return it if it doesn’t because I think it I’ll reduce its effectiveness on my kitchen floors.
r/RobotVacuums • Bit the bullet, cancelled the Dreame L40 order and bought the Qrevo Slim ->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. ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • Help me choose: Narwal Freo Z Ultra vs. Roborock S8 MaxV vs. Dreame X40 Ultra. ->I did. I thought the x50 was a nice upgrade, but the x40 was ok.
r/RobotVacuums • Big Deal Day Recommendations by House Needs ->I purchased a refurbished Dreame X40 Ultra from eBay. It’s been super solid. I just got the tricut brush to see if I can get a little bit better performance on carpet with our shedding dogs.
r/homeassistant • What are The Best Robot Vacuums Recommendations Today for Busy Folks? ->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 have a Dreame X40 ultra. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with 2 sheddy dogs and it does an ok job on carpet and a pretty good job on hardwood. I bought it refurbished on Amazon for around $700
r/smarthome • What is the Best Robot Vacuum that Homeowners absolutely love and recommend? ->I just got an eBay refurbished X40 Ultra. It has been great so far. But I don’t think any robot vacuum can truly replace a handheld vacuum/mop. I tend to think of these as a nice maintenance option to keep the dust bunnies and grime down. But I will still be doing semi regular vacuuming and mopping by hand.
r/RobotVacuums • Is there a robovac that excels both in vacuuming and mopping? ->I’m happy with my X40 Ultra. I got it refurbished from EBay
r/RobotVacuums • What is the best Edge Cleaning Robot Vaccuum? ->Roborock saros 10r top of our list Eufy E25 2nd this is already at BF pricing according to eufy Dreame/mova same company and had x40 returned it Narwal not seeing the fantastic reviews from individuals and the onboard bin might be too small for 2000sqft home with 2 shepherds even with daily vac JMHO
r/RobotVacuums • What robot vac is everybody looking to buy Black Friday? ->Hated dog hair the bin is small and it had no option to go back any faster to the base to empty so it would just push piles of hair around till the algorithm told it to go back and empty but it would never retouch the pile it left. they kept telling me to select a function that was not in my menu. so they took it back took months but its gone. and service is 1 email a day after they answer the phone on first ring so one problem will take a week to sort out and they dont want to call you back, just email there comes in around 2 am yours goes back at around 9am and then wait
r/RobotVacuums • What robot vac is everybody looking to buy Black Friday? ->I just shipped out my x40 they offered me a x50 refirb but i said no. I'm done with dreame and mova is just another division of them. Looking a roborock revo curvx, narwel flow or the ecovac deebot x11 but thier t50 pro max is coming highly recommended with dog hair. still looking
r/RobotVacuums • Looking for new robot vacuum ->too many issues and never solved the first problem and then the second started
r/RobotVacuums • Looking for new robot vacuum ->If you have the gift card, I dont have one but dont want the e25, Im looking at the mova z60, I just dont want the experience we had with the dreame x40 pushing dog hair around and never really picking it up. we have the bot run everyday a little over half the house twice a week and the main are daily with 2 german shedders well you get it
r/RobotVacuums • Looking for some real experiences with roller mop robots ->Sounds like its the one, my x40 never got an update to make it empty more often
r/RobotVacuums • Looking for some real experiences with roller mop robots ->I have the S1 Pro. It would do a much better job then the X40 regarding mopping and have navigation that's at least as good. But the X40 as a massive edge in corner cleaning and vacuuming on carpet.
r/Dreame_Tech • X40 Ultra - My experience as a first time buyer of a RoboVac ->I have a Dreame X40 Ultra and run it on a scheduled vacuum and mop every morning. Works well for 2 pugs that always shed!
r/RobotVacuums • Best robot vacuum for dog hair ->I got a Dreame X40 Ultra (one of the best on the market currently) for just under a grand. Has all the bells and whistles, more importantly spinning mop pads and a dock that does everything it needs to like washing and drying the mop pads. We have 2 dogs that are messy eaters and shed so much. We run it on a quick vacuum and mop cycle every morning while we're working and it's great. It can even raise or drop the mop pads so I can chuck it upstairs and run it on the carpet. Obstacle avoidance can be hit or miss depending on the brand, but I've found my robovac to be really good so far and almost too careful (Which i'd rather!). I upgraded from a refurbished Eufy G20 Hybrid (That I purchased for £150) to the Dreame and am super pleased with it! It literally depends on your situation. They'll never replace a hoover and mop for a deep clean but they definitely help increase the time in-between. A note as well is that it won't be long before the robovacs climb stairs. I was involved in a kickstarter for a robot that could do it. So the tech is there and almost ready to come to market, just gotta wait on one of the big brands to do it.
r/AskUK • Are robot vacuums really that good in UK homes? ->New Dreame stores in southern california have the X40 ultra with tri-cut hair brush on sale for $500 until Fathers Day. Just have to call to place the order and they should ship anywhere in the US. Great deal and got one myself!
r/RobotVacuums • Best roller mop vacuum combo ->I have the dreame x40 ultra. I call it Optimus prime. I love my vacuum. Software is easy and the robot does a pretty good job. I still have to vacuum and mop every now and then, but my apartment is always clean.
r/homeassistant • What is the best robot vacuum currently that's really worth buying? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
