One of the best mopping robots tested, now at half its launch price on the Dreame store. Vacuum Wars and TechRadar both found excellent mopping and strong carpet pickup. Skip it if your home is large, since coverage per charge is low, and note the dock leak reports before buying.

One of the best mopping robots tested, with strong measured suction, zero hair tangles and a dock that washes and dries the track mop. Testers at TechRadar and Tom's Guide found the software and navigation quirky. Skip it if you want a simple app, and compare it against the Flow 2 since the Narwal store showed the Flow out of stock.

What reviewers found
Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller
- Vacuum Wars (3.51 Vacuum Wars stars): Combined mopping score 280 against a 184 average, 86% carpet sand removal, 93% pet hair pickup and 21 of 24 obstacles avoided, but only about 684 to 742 sq ft per charge. Removed from its Top 20 list after owner reports of dock leaks. Source
- TechRadar: Called the mop the best the reviewer had tested, with about 98% hair pickup on dirty carpet and 100% visible debris on hard floors. Battery use, threshold climbing and the app were weaker. Subscores: Value 3.5/5, Design 5/5, Performance 4.5/5, App 4/5. Source
- Expert Reviews: Tested the UK Aqua10 Ultra Roller Complete: excellent vacuuming and mopping, but it took almost twice as long as a Eufy E25 to clean the same 21 m2 floors, used 75% battery on a four room run and got stuck more than the reviewer liked. Source
Narwal Flow
- Vacuum Wars (3.58 Vacuum Wars stars): Measured 1.88 kPa suction, 83% sand removal, 89% flattened pet hair pickup and 0% hair tangle. Combined mopping score was 268 against a 184 average, obstacle avoidance 18 of 24 and estimated coverage 2,068 sq ft per charge. Source
- TechRadar: Called the cleaning superb, especially on carpet, and hot water mopping excellent. Noise was 58 dB in quiet mode and 76 dB at top suction. It pushed a chair, failed to enter a room and once reported 0.0 square meters cleaned. Subscores: Value 4/5, Design 4.5/5, Performance 3.5/5, App 3.5/5. Source
- Tom's Guide: Pickup was 83% overall on tile and 77% on carpet, with 70% to 75% hair pickup. Noise ranged from 49 to 74 dB depending on floor and power. Faults were a tricky app, random cleaning incidents and so so edge vacuuming. Source
