"it even re-mopped when it sensed the water coming off the pads was excessively dirty--a feature I scoffed at initially, but was pleasantly surprised by."
"Regarding self-cleaning, the auto-empty and mop pad washing seemed flawless to me in my one day's experience (about 2 hours and a thousand sq feet worth, running multiple times to test/tweak settings and generally get a deep clean)."
"Hot water mop wash + hot air dry = way less stink, better hygiene. ... Dreame’s just smarter and cleaner long-term."

"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."
"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."

"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."
"It has never gotten stuck whereas every other unit I tested has."

"I’ve got two dogs that shed like crazy, so I’ve got it running every day to vacuum"
"My X40 picks up everything on the carpet and even leaves it decently combed"
"Mopping is definitely above average ... I’m super happy with it."

"For corner cleaning, Dreame is the most aggressive in terms of its algorithm."
"The extendable mop pad feature is a must-have. ... It was actually able to mop slightly under appliances, and where there was baseboard or a hard edge, the mop ran all the way up against it."
"totally covered what was missing from the Shark. ... unable to get it to clean under my sofa or up to the kickboards in my kitchen."

"The x40 that I bought was refurbished and had wonky navigation so I sent it back"
"the x40 ultra was broken (wheel doesnt move)"
"it won’t slow down, so expect loud noises ... I’m not sure how good that constant impact is long term. ... My 40x’s just push through and hope for the best"

"I just spent an hour today re-calibrating where all are the rooms in my apartment are because it suddenly shifted my house 30 degrees and couldn't reach any room. like, it would start driving into the wall instead of going to the room I asked it to clean. ... aside from that the map from time to time will get distorted and I'll need to manually make adjustments so it more or less aligns with where the actual rooms are."
"it keeps going in circles with no rhyme or reason."

"I had to replace roller twice because object detection was lacking and roller tore."
"obstacle avoidance is a software thing now you have it perfect in next update it’s a mess."

"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."
"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."
"Dreame customer service sucks. ... I have feeling no 1 over there understand basic English or the translation app they use is joke. ... Never buying that crap again. This was my 2nd X40 purchase for my parents."

"I have an X40, which I wouldn’t recommend for carpet owners even with the tricut brush."
"The extending side brush isnt perfect either i was pretty dissappointed since it kept missing some corners."
"Poor performance while vacuum, brush wasn’t lowering enough. Somehow I made the robot calibrate. All good now."
0101falcon 0.8Quick answer: Yes Explanation: Whilst spinning mops were more of a "it maintains a clean floor reasonably well" deal. The rollers are a "I can clean the entire house properly without you doing anything" deal. Some will argue they are worse with dried on stains, which I guess is true, but reality is, with my Aqua 10 has rarely seen a stain which it did not remove on the first pass. Anything from like dirty shoe footprints to oil from cooking it picked up in one pass. (If that botters you, you can just quickly spray the dirty stains with some water before it passes over it, so it is a bit soaked I guess, but in my experience the X40 also had problems with such stains). Now lastly maintenance. And honestly, this is the main issue, right now we are using first gen rollers, which the manufacturers didn't really take time to consider how the products themselves would be cleaned. I found that having it vacuum, and then vacuum and mop was the best way to prevent any debris entering the mopping system, so no need to clean it every week, rather every 2 weeks maybe.
2b4ifn5osnr 0.8Eufy 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.
AbbreviationsOk9833 1.0That would make it non returnable sadly. Weird how it get scratches so easily though because my X40 Ultra has zero scratches after months.
acupofearlgrey 0.1We have the draeme. It’s great, we don’t use the schedule as there too much chance of it eating a toy. However, it really encourages the kids (6 and 5) to pick up their stuff. Only downside is that it doesn’t replace a proper hoover, but we have a cleaner anyway so it helps for the gaps between the cleaner coming
Admirable-Cat-2272 0.8I‘ve got the x40 and i‘m super happy so far. We have both hard floor and rugs and it cleans them really well.
AdrianW3 0.8My X40 worked perfectly for 17 months and then died (like totally died - it wouldn't do anything). It went back for servicing and when I got it back at least its motors would work - but it couldn't navigate at all - I couldn't use it as it couldn't complete a map. And the amount of effort it took me to get them to accept it back for servicing in the first place was ridiculous. I'm sure the first 2 or even 3 replies you get are from bots regurgitating stock "try this & try this" steps. I'm currently at 6 weeks waiting for a solution.
Just don't. At all. Get some other brand instead. I was happy with my X40 for 18 months until it completely broke down, sent it back to be fixed (they wanted the entire thing - dock & all), finally got it back and it still didn't work. I'm now attempting to get a refund as I don't even want it anymore.
allah191 0.8If it makes you feel better L40 and X40 no better
Pleased you are amused. What is the point in telling people bull shit. I've had an L20, L40, X40. The only one with no issues was the L20 and is still going strong. The L40 and X40 were replaced twice. I've had problems with Samsung . . I'm currently running a roborock, useless with obstacle avoidance, excellent on carpet, and a Eufy E28, very good but a very basic app. It isn't just about Dreame it's about giving no bull shit honest opinions
Hmm . . X40 and x50 I tried both poor. L50 best one I've had
altChubAus 1.0Dreame X40 Ultra here, had it since moving into new house with all hardwood floors and we have not mopped or vacuumed once since. We run it every night (two story house so we run it when we are asleep) have set it up to go daily with a mixture of deep clean, vacuum then mop and fast cleaning throughout the week. The only extra we do is occasionally use the swifter microfibres sweeper to dust behind the couch and around the side board to get any dust out so that Meryl can pick it up (our vacuum is called Meryl Sweep). 100% recommend. Caveat, no kids no pets unless you count the fish tanks.
amandainpdx 1.0I 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.
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.
I did. I thought the x50 was a nice upgrade, but the x40 was ok.
antei_ku 1.0Recently got a Dreame X40 Ultra, it’s pretty nice. Can’t think of anything else I’d need from a vacuum. I just change the water containers; liquid detergent usage is pretty minimal so it’ll last months. Love that the mops are detachable magnetic pads instead of the velcro type and it automatically washes & dries them at the base station
