X60 Max Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum

Dreame lets you do vacuum only cycles from the app, and it’ll stay on vacuum only if you don’t go in and change it so you never have to think about it. It’ll disconnect the mop pads for the task automatically so you don’t risk tangles. At least on the x60 I just got, it’s pretty nice. Roborock was similar but it defaulted to vac+mop, so you have to choose each time. I could be wrong on that, as I returned mine due to really bad coil whine so it was a little while ago.

Quick update here: Went with [**DREAME X60 Max Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum and Mop**](https://reddit-links.com/DreameX60MaxUltra) and it handles corners really well. Compact enough for my apartment and picks up dust and spills without any issues. I live in a small apartment with a lot of nooks and tight spaces, and I can never seem to get my floors properly clean with just a regular vacuum or mop. I’m thinking a mop vacuum could save me time, but I’m not sure which one is good for corners and under furniture. Does anyone have experience with a best mop vacuum that’s compact but still powerful enough to handle dust and spills? Any heads-up about things to watch out for would be super helpful. Thanks!

First, you need to get an unfortunate reality check. Some of your expectations are reasonable, but there is no robot that is going to reliably navigate cords and rando kit stuff. A kids sock will take down absolutely any robot I've ever tested. It'll get stuck in the rollers. Lego? Forget it. You'll find it when your robot starts making a clacking noise. But that doesn't mean you can't have a robot, just that parents often find robots work best at night, after a quick pickup. Now... the other issues. Almost all major brands now have stable apps. I can't think of one that i'd say sucks. While robots all generally have edge cleaning, none do it really well. Robots are good at "the middle", and despite reaching arms, different mops... they rarely get into the corners or under toe kicks, and you'll almost always see a band around the walls that the robot didn't get. Hygiene- to me, this tranlsates to mop the bathroom last, hot water wash the mop between mops, and perhaps on the floor washing, and lastly, a robot that has an auto dispenser for cleaning fluid. This is almost all high end models, but in particular Dreame's high end models do this well. And.... the x50/x60 has a climbing ability that will likely help it climb over some obstacles. Only downside is both models use twin spinning mops, instead of a roller. I wouldn't let this discourage you. If, however, it does, consider the 3i S10 Ultra, which has everything I just mentioned plus a roller. In terms of maintenance, buy brands made with better parts. Skip the Yeedis and Movas and Eufys and stick with Roborock, Dreame, etc. Here's more of my recs and why: [https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1s3qr8l/amazon\_big\_spring\_sale\_recommendations\_by\_price/](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1s3qr8l/amazon_big_spring_sale_recommendations_by_price/)

Dyson really had a swing and a miss with the visnav. It SUCKS and it shouldn't!!! But, its time to let go of the notion that Dyson is "the best vacuum". I learned this when Samsung sent me their stick vacuum and it blew the socks off all the Dyson's I'd tested. So... skip it. If you have pets, the issues are 2fold. First, you gotta get the hair off the floor. Once it gets up the floorboards, no robot can get it. To get it off the floor, you need sweeps that are really good. In my opinion, only a few companies are doing that. 3i and Eufy. One piddly sweep on the side isn't gonna cut it. You need two sweeps, and they need to have contact w the floor. Now unfortunately, the Eufy e25/28 that have this feature suck, IMO, for other reasons. 3i's are gigantic, move in opposite directions and are always in contact w the floor. They work exceptionally well. Part 2- you want a vacuum with a razor that cuts the hair. Again, only a few do this. Some Dreame models, Eureka's J15 line and 3i. Now, I'm a 3i stan. I think its spectacular, but its not for everyone... so you have to figure out what other priorities you have. Does the tower need to look nice? Dreame wins there. Do you have large debris or just dog hair? Large debris? Only 3i. More carpet than hard floor? Eureka. Usually, when people have pets, I steer them towards the best Eureka J15 they can afford. Most are quite happy. I have a short hair dog who sheds incessantly and drags in mulch from outside and general mud/dirt, and I love the 3i s10. I know lots of people with Dreame x40/x50/x60 that have pets and are happy. Anything in those product ranges will prob suit you well.

I have tested tons and tons of robovacs (professionally) and yes, there are many worthwhile. There are many that aren't. I think this is a 2 headed problem: first, journalism isn't really set up to help you decide. Sites are monetizing reviews, and have to compete with AI and SEO, so they're formulated a specific way that make them not helpful. Second, you have to align your expectations properly. There isn't one "best", there's the best for your setup and situation and budget. Also, you have to understand that robovacs don't mean never sweeping, mopping or vacuuming again. They're good mostly at the "middle" of your room, and even that depends on how much you're willing to shift the items on your floor (cords, rugs, furniture). They can be fantastic accessibility tools, but they're not perfect... neither are humans.

If your house is clean and your floor is kept clear of cords and rando pet/kid stuff... You'll have pretty good success with almost any. Like a mid-range roboRock is probably going to be fine for you. I think the dreame x50 and x60 are spectacular in that kind of situation. I don't tend to love narwhals as much as other people cuz I think they use too much water but the flow isn't bad. I'm a really huge fan of the 3i brand, but because they're still relatively unknown, every time I bring them up people get into a furor.

I've been testing and reviewing robovacs (and other smart home products) for a few years. I test products in my home, rather than an obstacle course, but I am the only one who tests each machine, so its apples to apples. I also have a messy house- pitted tile, rugs, wood floors, and carpet, with a few high transitions. I have a dog (and occasionally, chickens who breach the doggie door to come inside) and am a very physical cook, according to my kitchen floor. You definitely do not have to agree with my choices, but I think I have a different viewpoint than a lot of other outlets, mostly because I am the person responsible for cleaning my home, and I make all buying decisions. I want robots to be the accessibility and labor removing dream of the future, but I like to set realistic expectations. **Under $200** Cheap robots are getting better, and one of my absolute favorites is in this category. But generally speaking, these are vacuums. Yes, they come with mops, but those mops suck. Ignore them and enjoy a cheap, usually pretty good vacuum for the price. Pay attention, because at this price point, some models don't come with towers, meaning you have to empty them yourself, every day or so (unless you live in a VERY clean home). The SwitchBot is tiny. Its like a little M&M moving around your floor, but one that comes with ridiculously high suction power for the price, and a tower. It can get into spaces no other bot can, and it does it shockingly well. Its good on carpet, but shines on hard floors. If you've got carpet, go with the Eureka- its got a dock AND its bagless (which is a big deal to some people). But Eureka has just really figured out how to get a robot to deal with carpet well. I am also a big fan of the 3i G10. I included the Roborock, because look at that price drop, and RR's are, IMO, very reliable. Again... all three of these models have mops. They suck. Don't use them. |Model|Original Price|Sale Price|Discount| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Roborock Q8 Max black](https://www.amazon.com/shop/amandablumstiktok/list/3JOR6YW9B5G7Y?ref_=aipsflist)|$599.99|$169.99|72%| |[Eureka E20 Robot Vacuum](https://amzn.to/40S3qde)|$309.00|$176.99|43%| |[SwitchBot Robot Vacuum K11+](https://www.amazon.com/shop/amandablumstiktok/list/1VV8DEM3PE45Q?ref_=aipsflist)|$399.99|$199.99|50%| **Under $350** Its not even close here. That Dreame L10s was a flagship model, with the features to match. While this particular drop isn't high, this was once an over 1000$ model. Its got a great mop, (spinning pads, no rollers in this price band), sanitizes the pads in the tower, high suction, great nav. I've included the Eureka, even with a not great discount, because if you have a LOT of carpet, you might want to consider it instead. The Eufy in this price band and the Roborocks all have dramatically less features, they're budget robots. |Model|Original Price|Sale Price|Discount| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Eureka E20 Evo Plus](https://www.amazon.com/shop/amandablumstiktok/list/3B7PW181H2UKM?ref_=aipsflist)|$299.99|$249.99|17%| |[Dreame L10s Pro Ultra](https://www.amazon.com/shop/amandablumstiktok/list/1F74O472G0T4G?ref_=aipsflist)|$449.99|$349.98|22%| **Under $500** On features alone, the L40 is the best buy. Outrageous suction, hot water wash, it has a cutter for long hair, etc. BUT.... that Qrevo, despite having less than half the suction of the L40, is better at vacuuming on hard floors and carpet. two reasons: Roborocks are good at positioning the sweep/rollers/suction in a way that works, and also, having a dual roller rather than one helps keep tangles from happening, the extending arm helps a lot to grab under things. I've included the S1, a robot I could not have been less enthused about when [I tested it](https://lifehacker.com/tech/eufy-omni-s1-pro-robot-vacuum-review), because people love Eufys (I don't) and they love a roller mop. This is the cheapest one available. |Model|Original Price|Sale Price|Discount| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2](https://www.amazon.com/shop/amandablumstiktok/list/2FZ74K5V0W0ZT?ref_=aipsflist)|$649.99|$399.99|38%| |[Eufy S1](https://amazn.so/iVBNAFI)|$1,299.99|$499.99|62%| |[Roborock Qrevo S5V](https://www.amazon.com/shop/amandablumstiktok/list/24B0YJFIE6TTB?ref_=aipsflist)|$899.99|$499.99|44%| **Under $750** I'm not ashamed to say my flabber was gasted by how competent the Yeedi S16 is. It managed to get the kitchen sparkle-clean after a full day of canning where the floor was a mess. It got debris easily, navigated complicated layouts and did a great job mopping. It had issues with bathmats, but all robots do. The X9 was a far [better mop than vacuum](https://lifehacker.com/tech/ecovacs-deebot-x9-pro-omni-review) when I tested it as a flagship, but at this lower price, I have few complaints. Its a gorgeous robot and tower, and its a roller mop and people are convinced they're better (I'm iffy, but that's neither here nor there). Finally, I could not let you pass on the J15, which I love as a deep cleaning vacuum with a good mop, but its definitely vacuum forward (and I mean on hard floors, too). The Eurekas have a very well designed triad of big sweep, roller and suction that gets a lot of debris, but more importantly, there's a razor that cuts long hair so it doesn't clog. I'm a fangirl, for sure. |Model|Original Price|Sale Price|Discount| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Yeedi S16 Plus](https://amazn.so/syHBN9e)|$899.99|$649.99|28%| |[ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI](https://amazn.so/mT8uLzT)|$1,299.99|$679.00|48%| |[Eureka J15 Pro Ultra](https://amzn.to/4t0faGm)|$999.99|$699.99|30%| **Under $1000** The hill I will die on is that the 3i S10 Ultra is the best robovac, ever. It has it all: Gigantic sweeps which get everything, rollers that never clog, suction that actually picks everything off the floor. A roller mop that works really well. But... sit down. The damn thing sanitizes dirty water and then makes new water by acting as a dehumidifier. *You never change the water.* Like, ever. Sure, it weighs like 70lbs and looks like a kids science museum exhibit, but its quiet and perfect and the child I always wanted :) There have been rumors of 3i's demise, a complicated story involving their company buying iRobot. But.. I have spoken to 3i and they assure me there is absolutely no news about them closing the 3i brand. And, this is is a good price for it (it was $1899 last year). But... if you're gunshy on a "new" brand.... I can make things easy. People are always trying to decide between the Dreame X50 and the Roborock Saros 10/10r. Get the Dreame (its such a steal at this price, and I didn't see a big difference between the X50 and X60 in testing). They try to decide between the Narwal Flow and the Dreame Aqua. Get the Flow (the Aqua leaked). And then, I have to always remind people how freaking awesome the Eureka J15 line is at vacuuming. |Model|Original Price|Sale Price|Discount| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[3i S10 Ultra](https://amazn.so/jEfBGlZ)|$999.99|$799.99|20%| |[DREAME X50 Ultra](https://www.amazon.com/shop/amandablumstiktok/list/2TBXG31JJKDAZ?ref_=aipsflist)|$1,599.99|$849.99|47%| |[Narwal Flow](https://amazn.so/C7hNQxp)|$1,499.99|$899.99|40%| |[Eureka J15 Max Ultra](https://www.amazon.com/shop/amandablumstiktok/list/ZVLS0BAELRF2?ref_=aipsflist)|$1,199.99|$899.99|25%| **Over $1000** A testament to how robot prices are coming down, I don't think you should spend more than $1000 right now. There's nothing in that band that I think is a great buy or necessary. If you love to tinker or have a kid that does, there's a good price on the Saros Z70, but its for tinkering. I didn't love it at cleaning, and its an expensive tinker toy. I'm testing the Saros 20 right now, so nothing to report yet. And I don't think anything else in that band stands out. Spend less. **Some notes on recommendations** Whenever I do this, the comments often ask, "but what about the xxxxxx?" or "why didn't you recommend the xxxx?". The answers are, in this order, "it wasn't as good as what I recommended", and "because I didn't want to" :P If you still want to buy something I didn't recommend, go for it! For instance, I am not recommending any iRobots right now. I'm happy they were acquired and really excited at what Picea (which owns 3i) may bring to the brand. But the existing lineup sucks. I'm iffy on Ecovacs, and at certain price points they're worth recommending, but I've never found a flagship I thought was great. People love Eufy bots, but I've rarely been impressed. Still, one made the list. I based this list on what was for sale, not every robot available. I think these are good buys and I think you should buy them from Amazon or Costco. Costco, if you can, because of their return policy, and Amazon because they hassle you less on returns than the brands themselves, do, a real swing and a miss for the brands, IMO. These are affiliate links, and I have permission to post them from u/leading_release_4344

There SHOULD be more difference. The x60 has the highest Pa I've ever seen at 35k. But this is proof that my longstanding assertion that suction doesn't matter as much as anyone thinks is true. And it has steam mopping, and this plate thats supposed to protect carpets. Oh, and its slimmer. But in practice? I didn't see a difference. The x50 didn't have a problem navigating around carpets, and the x60 still doesn't. Maybe other people experienced issues with rugs, but I never did. I saw no improvement of what it picked up or didn't, and where I wanted it to count (picking up bigger debris), the suction doesn't help, because those things still get stuck in the rollers, causing the robot to error. A slimmer robot IS helpful if that's been an issue (places you can't get under) but if not.... it doesn't matter. It can surmount slightly taller thresholds.... but until its a stair, meh. When i look at the pricing, I just don't see the justification for that big a difference. The x50 is a deal.

I feel like I just this conversation in another thread..... here's precisely what I said, same thing here. The Pro 8 was a great robot, but there have been LEAPS and bounds since then. I have the f25 as well, and I'm a big fan. (altho, honestly, the Narwal is even better) If you have pets, the issues are 2fold. First, you gotta get the hair off the floor. Once it gets up the floorboards, no robot can get it. To get it off the floor, you need sweeps that are really good. In my opinion, only a few companies are doing that. 3i and Eufy.

**Update:** went with [**DREAME X60 Max Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum and Mop**](https://reddit-links.com/DreameX60MaxUltra) and it’s been a huge upgrade so far. It handles the hardwood and tile really well and I don’t have to constantly clean out hair or refill it. Appreciate all the suggestions, this one ended up being exactly what I needed. My apartment has mostly hardwood but a few tiled areas in the kitchen and bathroom. I want a mop vacuum that doesn’t feel like a workout to use but still actually cleans properly, because I’ve tried a couple of cheaper options before and they either leave streaks or barely pick anything up. I see so many options online but it’s hard to tell which ones are actually worth it. Cordless ones seem convenient, but I worry about suction and battery life, and corded ones might just be way too heavy or awkward to move around. I also have pets, so hair gets everywhere, and I’m not looking for something that clogs all the time or needs constant maintenance. Ideally, I’d like something that can handle mixed floors without me switching tools constantly. If you’ve been using a mop vacuum for a while, how does it hold up on different floor types, and how easy is it to clean and refill? Any brands or models you’d genuinely recommend for an apartment like mine? Thanks a lot for any advice, really appreciate it!

Update: went with DREAME X60 Max Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum and Mop and it’s been a huge upgrade so far. It handles the hardwood and tile really well and I don’t have to constantly clean out hair or refill it. Appreciate all the suggestions, this one ended up being exactly what I needed.

I tried the 10r, it did well going under low furniture. I returned it for poor performance in other areas and preordered the X60. It’s not out yet but YouTube reviews show it doing well with low furniture.

There’s a lot of Roborock bias in here. My X60 came in yesterday so I’ve only ran it once but it did a great job, especially on the carpets which I’d given up hope on (two big shedding dogs). For reference I’ve owned 4 robot vacuums. The Eufy X10, Roborock CurvX and Saros 10R. The Eufy was bad with long hair but overall was solid for keeping the hard floors clean. The CurvX and Saros I returned each after a week, the performance was awful. Neither could keep both pads wet when mopping, vacuuming was poor on all floor types, and they ran over most things in their path. I tried them because of how hyped up they are on here. It’s still too early to tell how good the Dreame will be, but I’ll never purchase another Roborock again or trust this subreddit.

It’s significantly better so far. The battery life could be better and I have to refill the tank more often but those are minor issues to me. It’s way better on carpet (not perfect, only a regular vacuum can get all the dog hair so I still vacuum those weekly) and still has not gotten stuck one time since I’ve owned it which is crazy to me, I didn’t think that was possible after using other vacuums. Only other issue is the cost. Overall, I’m very happy with it and it’s exceeded my expectations.

Only downside with my x60 is poor battery life.

Haven’t tried a Mova but the Dreame X60 is light years better for dog hair than the Roborocks I’ve tried (Saros 10r and CurvX). I don’t know how good other models of Dreame are. From my experience, watch all the YouTube videos you can and look into reviews of each. There’s a lot of bias in the robot vacuum community, especially on here, so it’s not easy to get useful help in choosing a model without looking into them yourself and maybe trialing a few different models.

I’ve seen comments like yours before so maybe it’s just the luck of the draw. This was just my experience with them. I’ve never tried a roller mop though. Our floors are pretty spotless with the pads so I haven’t had to look into them. My big things were carpet/pet hair and obstacle avoidance. X60 is doing well for those. I have two little kids that always pull toys out, have owned it for a month, and it hasn’t gotten stuck once yet. Saros 10r was stuck on something pretty frequently.

I’ve commented this a few times but looks like your situation is similar to mine. I tried and returned both the Saros 10r and the CurvX after a week with each, and now have the Dreame X60. These issues may not be consistent with others experiences but they are mine. I have a 3 and 4 year old and 2 German Shepards. All floor are vinyl planks and the bedrooms are carpet. - vacuuming: both Roborocks were not good, especially on carpet. They would drive over hard floor and leave hair/debris as if the suction wasn’t on. - object avoidance: both would get stuck daily on random things (shoe laces, cables, even larger toys). They would drive over just about anything, it was disappointing for a flagship. - mopping: both had an issue where only one mop pad would stay wet. Now for the X60… it has not gotten stuck once over the past few weeks. It does great on carpet, mopping is good enough. What I dislike so far: - battery life sucks. Takes half a day for what Roborocks would do in 2 hours. I always felt the Roborocks moved way too fast to work well and this is the opposite. Not a huge gripe because at least it cleans and doesn’t require babysitting and it recharges fast - goes through water quickly. I haven’t figured out the right setting for floors. 15 (1-30) = half dry mop pads when mopping, 16 = very wet floor to start, pads dry out toward the end. No consistency. They supposedly have a water line hookup that I want to get for it. - small bin on board but haven’t noticed any issues, but I’ve seen it as a complaint. No hair clogs on rollers yet (3 women/2 dogs = lots of hair so impressed with this). - rubber on rollers are chipping. Never seen this before but could be because they actually make contact with the ground? - genius settings on app seem useless. Skips important rooms like the kitchen/dining room. Overall the X60 is way better in my opinion. It cleans and doesn’t get stuck which are my two needs.
