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

Keskipitkäkarvaisen koiran ja Dreamen Z10 robotti-imurin omistaneena, karvat takertuivat pääharjakseen ja sen kanssa piti olla aika tarkkana, laite meinaan sorvaa pääharjasta ajavan "square driven" "circle driveksi" jos karvaa on liikaa ja harjas ei pääse pyörimään, kysy miten tiedän. Nykyinen kalliimpi Roborockin tuplaharjas imuri ei tätä tee, en ole varma johtuuko tuosta tuplaharjas ominaisuudesta vai silikoniharjaksista, Z10ssä oli sellainen vanhemman mallinen harja-harja.

Ütemezetten heti kétszer porszívóz, a dokkolóba ürít. Azt 3-4 havonta kell ürítenünk, Otthon se vagyunk, amikor csinálja. Hétvégén rárakom a vizes tartályt, azzal feltöröl maga után. Sima vízzel, nincs mosószer. Így is patyolat minden. Ha 1-2 havonta 1x fel kell mosnunk mosószerrel, sokat mondok. Szépen kikerül mindent, nyilván nem hagyunk a földön semmi felesleges dolgot. A mobil alkalmazás számon tart mindent. Látod, hogy mikor, hol, hány négyzetméteren, milyen útvonalon takarított. Ha megakad, szól. Minden cserélhető alkatrészéről statisztikát csinál, szól, ha lassan cserés lesz. vagy takarítani kell a szűrőt. Én imádom. És nem egy nagy kiadás. 110 nm-en kószál. Külön szobákra, akár kijelölt területekre is tudod küldeni.

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.

My old dreame (liidar only) went through poop before so trust me, I get it. The mess... You can't expect it to be 100% perfect obviously. But it avoids cables and strings too, so it rarely gets tangled as well.

We have a Dreame that self empties and will mop. It’s in the pricey side, but we’ve also had n auto emptying Shark that I really liked and a Roborock that did very well but you have to empty. FWIW we have two large dogs (Alaskan Malamute and Great Pyrenees) and 8 cats.

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.

Agreed with all of that. We have had a Dreame with the auto empty base station for a few years now. It replaced our original robovac (an LG Roboking) and it has been rock solid. It sets off by itself every morning and does its thing, we empty the base dustbag every 6-8 weeks or so. About once a month, it'll get stuck on a cord or under a bed and can be there for a day or so before we realise and have to rescue it. Every few months, I take the dust collector station out into the shed and blow it out with the air compressor and I've done the same to the robot a few times over its life. We did the Temu bags too and even got a brush and filter replacement kit for a handful of bucks. My only gripe with it is that it seems to always want to do the laundry when I'm ironing my shirt and I've nearly stepped on it more than once :-). One of the best appliance purchases we've made.

I’m really satisfied with my Dreame navigation. It takes some time but I have the feeling it navigates better after some runs. I also tested the Narwal Flow and was really impressed. It drove around knowing where it was every single time. It was really confident when navigating and it never did the scanning where it currently is. My Dreame does this occasionally I think. But overall I don’t believe there’s much difference nowadays. Some work better than others, but amidst all modern models will do fine.
