Dreame - Z10 Pro

I personally wouldn't get anything that wasn't on the list of robots supported by [Valetudo](https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html), the open source software replacement that makes it run entirely locally (although I believe that some models like iRobot might natively have no cloud integration). I'm not that stoked on something with cameras and mapping abilities sending and storing all that data on cloud servers. I've had a Dreame Z10 pro for several years. It's easy to open up and work on (although nothing major beside the consumables like brushes etc has failed yet). I wouldn't call it _actually_ BIFL, but judging on the curve of modern consumer electronics, I'm pretty happy with it. The valetudo mod on that model specifically wasn't the easiest from among the list, but also wasn't that hard, and if you have any electronics tinkering experience at all, I'd call it trivial, but there are models that are even simpler I believe (the site has instructions)

I want the new dreamy cuz I liked the battery life of my x40 my Z is okay but I can't vacuum and mop whole house.. and right now my Roomba has decided to come out on its own and vacuum for me?! LOL

Yes, LIDAR (which this appears to have) versions are much better than without in my experience. I doubt the mopping function is going to be worth using if it doesn't have a clean/dirty reservoir and self cleaning (doesn't look like it does). Depending on how privacy conscious you are, you may want to avoid ever actually connecting it to network. Usually they can still be used in a more rudimentary manner by just hitting the button and sending it. Our Dreame Z10 Pro mapped out the 1st floor nicely and worked pretty effectively even before we connected it to anything. Incidentally, ours is rooted and running Valetudo now, but that's a deep rabbit hole and doubt this bot would be supported.

Some of them also have actual full-color cameras (which they've been known to obfuscate by calling them "optical sensors") as well, pointed at an upward angle. I can't remember if I've heard of them having a mic or not, though it seems with all the voice command stuff, a lot of people don't care about that very much any more for some reason. I was thrilled to get Valetudo operating on our Dreame vacuum itself to emulate the Chinese server and allow me to connect only using local wi-fi; leaving the internet and China out entirely.

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.

Got the dream a few weeks ago. It's a game changer. I had a Neato and a few iRobots over the years. With those units, I spent more time pulling out dog hair and untangling rollers than actually using the product. This is a lot more advanced, and with the self emptying, it's pretty great. All I do now is swap out the water tanks every day. Gripes? The mop pad on the base station gets hairy. It has difficulty getting dirt between the edge of the rug and the hardwood floors. It's expensive. All in all, it's a nice machine.

Just get the top level dreamebot or roborock (same company owns both). Their robots do an excellent job, and the app works really well!

Looks like you’re right, they are technically not both currently owned by xiaomi, but they share a ton of similarities. My coworker has a dreamebot and his app, replacement parts, features are nearly identical to my roborocks.

The Dreame robot mop system is our favorite new roommate! We have a new and an older iRobot Roomba vacuums and recently got this one for the main floor. We're very happy with it. It's available in many different price ranges.

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.
