Dreame L40s Ultra CE
Lowest cost L40s with auto empty and mop washing
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Dreame L40s Ultra CE worth it? A cheap way into a self emptying, mop washing dock with long runtime. It costs $470 as of Oct 31, 2026, and 2 independent reviewers tested it.
A cheap way into a self emptying, mop washing dock with long runtime. Vacuum Wars found good carpet cleaning and no hair tangles, but weak pet hair pickup, poor obstacle avoidance and wet mopping. Spend more on the L40s Ultra or AE if you have pets or clutter.
Best for: first time buyers who want a full dock cheaply. Skip if: you have pets, clutter or want hot water mop washing.
