Dreame - L10s Pro Series

I have not used my vaccum since I bought my l10S gen2 a month ago. So far it seems it does an exceptionally god job

I read this stuff and wonder to myself did I get the only properly functioning robot but then I remember I have 2 and both of them function just fine. L20 Ultra and L10S. Is it just people with no issues say nothing? Are people not doing regular maintenance? I am not doubting anything said here but am genuinely confused as to how there can be so many issues.

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.

In der Familie war ich schon immer der mit Putzfimmel. Doch mit drei Frauen an der Hand, davon zwei Teenager, ist man alleine was das Sauberhalten der Wohnung angeht. 🫣 Somit halte ich Hausmeister-like die 240 m2 in Schuss. Doch wie bei einem Garten... bist Du vorne fertig, geht es hinten wieder los. 🤔 Darum ist gestern ein Saugroboter mit Wischfunktion eingezogen. Überraschenderweise sogar mit Unterstützung der Liebsten. Seitdem wienert das Teil durch die Gänge und macht alles hübsch. Ich bin als IT-Mensch vielleicht etwas befangen bei Technik, da ich mich immer über neues geiles Zeug freue. Aber selten fühlte sich eine Anschaffung so sinnvoll an. Es ist toll in Zukunft keine Haarbüschel und Essensreste mehr auf dem Boden vorzufinden. 😍😍😍 Den manuellen Mopp werden wir dann in Rente schicken. Das übernehmen jetzt die beiden neuen Möppse. 😅👍

Yo, das stimmt. Ich dachte erst, dass es auch ohne Möpse geht, aber mit Wischen ist das Teil noch um ein Vielfaches besser. 😍🥰

Genau, hatte eben auch nochmal geschaut. Kamera ist zu sehen. 🤔

In der App von "Dreame" kann ich irgendwas mit Schwellen konfigurieren, hab's aber nicht weiter verfolgt, da es bei uns alles soweit gut geht. Vorhin habe ich gemerkt, dass unser Modell sogar über das Rohrgestell von einem Wäscheständer drübergeht. Da werde ich wohl noch was machen, damit das für ihn eine Barriere ist. Auch wenn es klappt, muss man das Material nicht so quälen. 😅

Das war meine Befürchtung... das das Teil nicht über die Schwellen kommt. Vorhin ist es sogar über das Gestell von einer Wäschespinne gekrochen. Hat sich echt was getan. 😀

Danke schön. 🥰 Genau, so manche enge Ecke bleibt unangetastet, das wäre aber manuell auch so. Dafür kommt das Teil unter Schränke, wo schon lange keiner mehr war. Doch alleine das Nass-Wischen ist so viel wert. Die Kids rennen mit Schwitzefüßen gerne ohne Socken. Schon dadurch lohnt es sich, dass da mal jemand drüberwischt. Und die langen Haare aller Mädels bleiben gerne im Teppich - auch da ist es schön, dass das Teil nun täglich drüber bürstet. 😍

Der X50 Ultra von "Dreame" soll wohl bis zu 4,2 cm überwinden. Und es gibt auch Saugroboter mit bis zu 6 cm "Steigmöglichkeit". Mein Modell soll wohl bis 2 cm können und in der App gibt es die Möglichkeit Schwellen zu markieren, damit diese mit mehr Schwung gefahren werden. Aktuell klappt es ohne diese Einstellungen. Wenn der Roboter mal festhängt, fährt er selbständig zurück und versucht es nochmal mit mehr Schwung. In den 8 Stunden, in denen der kleine L10 jetzt lief, hing er noch nirgendwo fest. Wäre es denn eine Möglichkeit, diese 3 cm bei Dir mit einer eigenen Schwelle zu versehen?

Gerne doch. 🥰 Ich muss zugeben: Man kann mich mit Tech-Krams kaum noch begeistern, aber unser Saugroboter fasziniert mich in der Tat. China, WLAN, Überwachung und Hacking sollte man nicht vergessen, aber wo ist man heute noch wirklich sicher, wenn irgendwo ein Onlinezugang in der Nähe ist? 🫣 Aktuell bleibt der "Dreame" im Gast-WLAN und ich werde wohl nachts die Onlineverbindung kappen. Doch ich bin sowieso schon verloren, da die ganze Wohnung mit Echo Dots ausgestattet ist. 😅

L40 Ultra with current in store promotions will definitely make the decision a lot easier, since it can be had for $399 before tax, plus they throw in free gifts with purchase. It's a better overall model than the L10s with more suction, battery, better self washing and washboard cleaning as well. It's a steal for the price and if you were considering one over the other, I'd say overall L40 Ultra is a great value product in the market right now. Hope this helps narrow down the search a little for you, and if any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. happy hunting!

I don't recommend Dreame if you use an Android phone. I bought an L10s last year. It was connecting at first but after a reset it wouldn't connect to my Pixel at all. It did seem to work with my mother's iPhone but that wouldn't be useful for me so I returned it. The other big thing was that when I went to leave a negative review due to all the frustration, the review never got posted. I was fair and simply stated that for me it didn't work well with Android. I rewrote and submitted a few times; there was always a review waiting period but it was never posted. The fact that most of the Chinese robot vacuums are rated so highly on Amazon, and the fact that these companies are connected to Xiaomi has left me very suspicious that the reviews are being manipulated or bought. Many of the YouTube reviews also seem paid without any declaration of being sponsored. In contrast, the reviews from Rtings or news sites were so much more critical. I don't want to support these type of shady companies so instead I bought a Shark which I have to try soon.

I'm between this and the dreame L10S Ugh

Ended up with Dreame

I got the Dreame L10s Pro Gen 2 for 230 and I think it's great

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.

Dreame l10S or l20 if you are trying to save money Dreame x30 if you have a little more money to spend Dreame X40/L40 if you want the best. If you only have hardfloors, the Eufy S1 pro I also like the QRevo Slim if you want something from Roborock but I am disappointed with its Object avoidance capabilities when compared to Dreame and Eufy. Roborock in general is quite trash at obstacle avoidance and it makes it hard for me to trust their vacuums to run on a schedule without having to babysit them but their hardware is solid and reliable. Skip the Eufy x10 that so many shills like. It's got a lot of features that look good but in reality they aren't very well implemented. I had two of them and Eufy partially refunded me for both of them due to my experience with them. Good customer support, but a bad vacuum design that struggles to pick up anything on hardfloors. For the same money I would get a Dreame l10S or L20 instead. I posted my full review here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/s/AVD9Ph2eHK

Return both and get a Dreame L10S certified refurbished: [https://www.ebay.com/str/dreameinnovation/Refurbished/\_i.html?store\_cat=48519196012&\_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211](https://www.ebay.com/str/dreameinnovation/Refurbished/_i.html?store_cat=48519196012&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211) Dreame is running a sale right now and with the coupon code, the L10s is like $300 which is a steal. I have two certified refurbished X40s and they were practically brand new, no sign of previous use. Also comes with 2 year third party warranty so you don't have to deal with dreame's questionable warranty support team. Based on how much you get from returning the shark and roomba, you can get 2 L10s robots or maybe one x30/x40. The Dreame vacuums are far better for the money due to their advanced features like object avoidance and they have good vacuum performance. Roborock has good vacuum performance but severely lacks in the object avoidance realm. Eufy has good object avoidance but not so great vacuum performance. iRobot and Shark are in a tier below Dreame, Roborock and Eufy.

Suction power provided by the manufacturers are just BS most of the time and are not indicative of cleaning power. In general, Roborock has far better vacuum performance than Eufy however Eufy has better customer support and their vacuums with Obstacle avoidance like the X10 and s1 outperform roborock in obstacle avoidance.

I don't think the c20 has obstacle avoidance. Personally, for the money I would pick the Dreame l10S as it has obstacle avoidance that is as good as the Eufy x10, is on sale for like $400 right now and has better vacuum performance than the Eufy's but it's slightly worse than the Roborocks. I think the obstacle avoidance is a very important feature to have if you want to run your robot on a schedule. If you don't mind picking up cords and things the robot could get stuck on, get the roborock as the cleaning performance is better than the other brands at your price point.

I love my Dreame L10S. They have higher end models but this was the most I wanted to shell out.

Thank you! I eventually ordered a Dreame l10s Pro, but I have some doubts, particularly after seeing videos like this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XebDiGqY5MM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XebDiGqY5MM) It's also an Ultra version of Dreame so not entirely accurate for my case. But I think that suction power is more or less the same for l10s Pro and S8. Not sure if it's accurate. Actually Roborock S8 and even S8 Pro would have comparable price in Armenia, and I could stretch a little bit and order Q8 Max+. But I thought that rotating mops would be somewhat better in most situations. Also, I don't have carpets.

Dreame gen2 is better ;)

I've never checked mine empties great - L10s

I have this one as well, but the version without the self emptying deck. I'm always scared of bugs climbing in there and nesting before I get to empty it. This being said, I love it, and it's not even my first Dreame: I've never been able to find a better quality/price deal.

I have the Dreambot L10s we don't have any tatami so I can't speak to that but I have had literally no complaints.

I have 2 Dreame L10S, the gen 1 and the gen 2. about $400 each. they work very well and integrate into HA.

YES. It is most definitely that bad. It’s bad on hard floors but god forbid you run it on a carpet. I have a video of it just plowing through fake dog poop on carpets. Edit: I have owned both the roomba j series and dreame l series, and both are so so much better.

I tested the roomba j series and the l series from dreame and both perfectly did the test

I tested the roomba j series and the l series from dreame and both perfectly did the test

Because both my Dreame L series and Roomba J series did the same test flawlessly

This is the best for fully local robot vacuum. I have 2 Dreame L10s flashed and they work great. Bonus is it's also kind of funny being able to ssh into a vacuum lol

Un dream l10. Perfect

Wow, what a detailed comparison! Since you're the dream guru, do you happen to know if the app is the same for the L10sPro Gen 2 and the D9 Mac Gen 2? I ask because I recently got the L10sPro Gen 2, and I really love the app—it has some awesome features. However, I'm not too impressed with the mopping; it leaves round streaks. I'm considering switching to the D9 Mac Gen 2 since it has one big mop pad, but I don't want to lose the app's features. Thanks in advance!

Good to know it would be a downgrade. I did have a Bobsweep pet slam with static mop pad and it cleaned amazing well (until the machine died) but i do like the L10s' ability to switch to vacuum when it encounters a door mat. From your comparison sheet, i looks like the D9 does not have as good object detection. I'll try your suggestions.

using the low water option helped a bit. can still see swirl pattern. i'm going to get another set of pads (i was handwashing the one set i have) hope that will help.

From my experience. Roborock Q8 very good for the price, S7 Maxv little better than S8, both great, Dreame L10S Pro as great. The newer more expensive stuff is even little better like X40 Ultra, but it has the docks.. Electrolux i9.2 had suprisingly good obstacle avoidance, could even avoid small cables, but god did that robot suck in anything else.

I have a dreame L10s, L40 and Roborock q8 at the minute. I’m about to order the dreame aqua 10 pro track as I’ve found the spinning mop pads scratch my wooden floors a bit. The performance of the dreames has been great, especially the object avoidance. We have no kids but 2 dogs and 3 cats. The L40 especially is great at avoiding dog toys that get dropped in front of it and the aqua 10 has upgraded object avoidance so I’m hoping it will be even better. I’m veering to the pro track as it heats the water a little and uses cleaning solution on the floor as well

Personally, I think the X40 is a better deal, but I've had good luck with the Dreame refurbs from the eBay official store. Just keep in mind, they usually come in a beat up box and the units are not always thoroughly cleaned either. One of my l10s models came with a smelly dirty water tank because whomever returned it, didn't bother to get all the water out.

My x50 is great!! 😊 best robot vac I’ve ever invested in. Owner for a 4 months but it’s suction and mopping ability really help maintain home cleanliness and we love all the app featrues. I still use a cord less z20 when I need to do more deep carpet cleaning. Also places the bot can’t go I do need to grab my z20 to do places that robot just can’t go. Upgraded from a L10sgen2 which was great for about 4yrs. We almost bought the x40 ultra but really wanted that extra suction and dual detangle brush.

The firmware doesn’t change in terms of features. The cloud gets replaced by valetudo locally. You can also get one and never hook it up to WiFi. I operated my dreams L10s for about two months by just pressing buttons before I rooted it.

No clue. Never used the first party app. I bought it, operated it without WiFi using the buttons for a while, the rooted it and connected it. This is the suggested way. No initial WiFi prevents enforced updates potentially closing the rooting option.

For crevices, you need a robot with a bristle main brush. Dreame L series and Mova usually use rubber brushes, which, according to reviewers on YT, don't pick up dust in crevices well unlike bristle ones. Some Roborock model like Q5 Pro, Q8 Max, Qrevo S, and QV35A/S also uses a similar brush. I think if you don't mind with prices, E28 or E25 is a good candidate because its roller mop is superior. Roborock also has a new lineup called S5A which is the cheaper version of Qrevo Edge. Now it's $899 on Amazon. S5A uses a similar Duo Divide split brush as in Qrevo Edge and Eufy E28, a self-empty station, and obstacle avoidance but only using structured light without a live camera.

I will 2nd the dreame L 10. I’m fucking amazed at how well it works. We have two dogs and three cats and my wife back moved, prior to buy a mess, daily as well as mopped a couple to few times a week. We wake up every morning with gorgeous clean floors. Like I said, I’m truly amazed. Recent cleaning https://i.imgur.com/BXWtZEn.png

I just bought a L 10 second generation and I’m blown away.

# TLDR: Get the **L10s Pro** if it's within budget. If not, **D10 Plus** is the best bang for the buck **with a base**. Auto-empty is a game-changer in a dusty home. # Model Rundown: # ✅ L10s Pro * **Best cleaning performance** of the group (top-tier suction + obstacle avoidance) * **Does wet mopping well** with rotating pads * No base, but solid overall * **Best for large apartments** if you don’t mind emptying it manually # ✅ L10s (non-Pro) * Older, still solid * Has AI navigation and **comes with an auto-empty base** * Slightly weaker suction than Pro, less smart avoidance # ✅ D10s Pro * Decent suction and basic lidar nav * **No base** * Good for smaller or simpler homes — not ideal for large, dusty spaces unless you’re OK emptying it often # ✅ D10 Plus * Similar to D10s Pro but **comes with a base** * Very basic navigation (bumps into stuff sometimes), but **great value** for the price # Why the Base Matters (especially with dust): If your place gets dusty and you’re busy (or just hate emptying bins daily), the base makes life *so* much easier. You can go a couple of weeks without touching the robot. Totally worth it if that’s a pain point. # 🏆 Recommendation Based on Budget Priorities: * **Top pick overall**: L10s Pro (best clean + navigation, even without base) * **Best value with base**: D10 Plus * **All-around balance**: L10s (base + decent mopping) Let me know your price ceiling and I can tell you exactly what to grab and what to skip.

L10 can clean 20m2 in 19 mins in real world use, L20 with more technical cleaning pushed that up to 29 mins, The L40 with the best cleaning and mop extras etc is 36 mins. The x40..... Same setup as the other 3.....47minutes and it doesn't to as good a job as the L10v2..... I'm just giving honest reviewing! I was very surprised the L40 smashed the x40!

So I bought a q revo and dreame l10s and compared them directly and ended up keeping the l10s because it seems to do a better job of mopping (and is willing to mop in skinnier areas of my hard floor around rugs). I don't mind the worse app with dreame, it's completely usable and reliable, just with weird translations. I genuinely like the roborock carpets first feature but I don't miss it with scheduling. If you can afford the l40 ultra, that's what I would buy for the best features (hot water mop washing, self cleaning washboard, water turbidity sensor, mop extend & lifting brush, hair cutting roller). How much more expensive are the premier q revo models in your area (the master, slim, edge, curv)? If theyre the same price (or you can afford the slight increase) I'd get those for the best of both worlds: premier features and the superior roborock app.

3" fibers but a little flat. All my robots this far have gotten bogged down on it. Roborock qrevo and dreame l10s at least made it off 🤷🏾‍♂️ I think the adaptilift robots may work for it.

Yeah with people making retail purchases like a robot vacuum, I would advise buying 2, trialing them, and returning one. It's a huge purchase so it should be perfect 🤷🏾‍♂️ If they have the credit/capital to do that ofc. I did that for the original q revo vs my dreame l10s. I didn't think the roborock commanded that $100 price difference at the time (for me).

I have an elderly cat and the worst case scenario is usually small bits of poop. Which ice cleaned off my robot a few times which isn't the worst... But if it's regular puddles I wouldn't. I have a dreame l10s which has a camera without a fill light and the object avoidance is pretty bad/mid. Apparently the newest robots are better especially with identifying puddles? So maybe? But be prepared to clean them lmao. Good news is they're very easy to clean/disassemble and deep clean.

So I've completely disassembled a few different brands of robot vacuums. Not all of the newest ones especially, but some of the newest, especially my dreame l10s. Dreames and roborocks are really well built imo. A lot of easy screws and the various modules have their connectors built in. They also tend to have their exterior most parts free of major electronics should they need to be stripped and washed. I've put my robovac parts through the dishwasher (make sure yours doesn't have exposed heaters). Plastic shell pieces, dust bin, and filter. Vacuum out the bin/filter/machine first 🙏🏾 I assume the movas are the same. The three are within the xiaomi family of brands so I assume the third is built like the other two. Ecovacs are a lil nightmare to take apart bc their wires are unruly. And you can't even strip the bottom plate or suction area easily to clean or replace. It's doable but only if necessary. I've done some older eufys which seemed good so 🤷🏾‍♂️ Roborocks and dreame, being the most popular seem to have the best part availability as well. Roborock used to have a huge warranty on their s8maxv (5yrs) but reduced it now to 1 on everything I think. The movas have a 3 year warranty which is cool. Refurbished units from eBay, direct from roborock and dreame also come with 2 year warranties (mostly). I guess because poop etc gets smeared into the brushroll chamber mostly, if it's a small enough volume, being able to replace that more easily is nice lol. I haven't had to remove it from the brushroll motor to wash it but maybe that's possible. These machines are dense with electronics and wires but are built well imo so if you're willing to take care of and maybe even go a little diy they'll definitely last 5 yrs. My roborock s5 still works, and now that's 4th hand (I was the 3rd hand lol). I'd only buy them from the xiaomi family, roborock especially if I had the disposable money. I have a long haired rug I'd like to see it clean 🤩🤩 There are roborocks at basically every price point, dreame at the lowest, but the dreames have more features at comparable prices, mostly. Roborocks app is much nicer and I've found their machines are much quieter. They also tend to just do everything better lol. The roborock master is at crazy low prices rn (new & eBay refurb) and it has their obstacle avoidance that should detect puddles. It sounds like you really need obstacle detection so the cheapest I'd go is the mova p10. It apparently has the same sensors as the p50 (which reacts to puddles). And it's a little more expensive than the cheapest (mine) or the in between, glam version of mine: the l10s PRO ultra. The robot names are becoming a bit much but there is some reason to them...

roborock qrevo 35A for under $400. better than the Dreame L10s especially for VACUUMING. Dreame maybe better obstacle detection. - I review robovacs for 7 years

Dreame l10s gen 2 all my life. I'm using it and it works great

You will be hard pushed to find one that is thin enough to get under the couch at 10cm 🤔. I have the Dreame L10s and it will handle everything you have described except getting under things due to its height. It's been brilliant tbh, I don't have to touch my floor it does it all 👍

I really like my dreame L10s pro gen 2 … it is the upgraded dreame model (stronger than their ultra model with a base) with rotating disk mop pads, but it comes with no base. This does mean - cons: - that you have to manually wash mop pads - I bought a few extras - you have to refill the water tank/empty dust bin more often (I’ll pause a mop cleaning to rinse pads between big rooms) but pros: - under $350cad at my time of purchase - much smaller square footage / no ugly base in my tiny apartment, and less plastic waste in the event the tech craps out - no deep cleaning or maintenance needed for a base … personally for me, regular maintenance and attention to machine while it is going is easier than remembering to deep clean a base filled with water and chemicals and weeks-old grime. Plus it keeps the mop head wetter/cleaner/more efficient during sessions when I do it myself vs machine kinda rinsing it every so often. This might be the exact opposite of what other people need, but idk. the fancy ones were also just straight-up outta my price range so it was the biggest factor for me ultimately, but I have no regrets. would choose this version again even if I had the funds in future (until the primo versions that connect to water pipes and have self-emptying bases and a rolling mop bar.. like the SwitchBot… become the norm and more wallet-friendly, maybe) God I sound like a walking ad (dreame plz pay me) but it’s been a game changer sooooo…

Yes, I do. We have at home the Dreame L10S, very powerful, friendly with our pet, we have a dog that shed a lot of hair and it cleans like a champ. I think that the best features that could work for you and your family is that it's very quiet while working around, in addition to its auto empty feature. It's really a very good option.

Identify the features you want and go from there. Let the features drive the realistic price. For me that was Lidar, self-empty, mopping pads that spin and not just dragged behind. Those features ended up with me getting a Dreame L10s for around $700

Dreame L10s is what I have with 5 kids. I like it
