What reviewers found
Dreame D20 Air Plus
- Android Authority: Tested at home over several runs: cleaned about 400 sq ft in 48 min on 80% battery, then about 463 sq ft in 57 min on 73%. Navigation was good, but it shoved angled leg items and folded a small mat. Mop works only as a damp touch up. Given the AA Recommended badge, no numeric score. Source
- PCWorld: Tested in a split level home on hard floors and rugs: good vacuuming for the price, picked up greyhound hair, cleaned under a low entertainment center and finished a downstairs area in about 33 min with 77% battery left. It repeatedly nudged a mat and the mop is basic. Source
Roborock Q10 S5+
- Vacuum Wars (3.34 Vacuum Wars stars): Removed 96% of embedded sand and 96% of pet hair with 0% hair wrap. Dried stain score was 103 against a 93 average. It avoided 6 of 24 obstacles and estimated coverage was about 1,243 sq ft per charge. Source
