A strong pick for carpet and pet hair for about $310. Vacuum Wars measured 93% embedded sand and 91% pet hair pickup with zero hair wrap, plus a 5 L bag dock and a three year warranty. It avoided none of the test obstacles and the mop is basic, so it suits tidy homes.

The pick for large homes with several floor types that want a different mop for kitchens, bathrooms and living areas. Vacuum Wars measured strong stain removal, no hair wrap and good threshold climbing. It is slow and covers less floor per charge than average, and the mop swapping mechanism has no long term track record yet.

What reviewers found
Dreame D20 Plus
- Vacuum Wars (2.90 Vacuum Wars stars): Removed 93% of embedded sand and 91% of flattened pet hair with 0% long hair wrap, and estimated about 2,761 sq ft per charge. It avoided 0 of 24 obstacles, crevice pickup was below average and mopping scored below average on dried stains. Source
- Vacuum Chef (95/100): Hands on review of a unit supplied by Dreame: strong cleaning on carpet, rugs and hard floors and good tangle resistance, but small or low objects were bumped and it reached about 74 dB at max suction. Source
Dreame Matrix10 Ultra
- Vacuum Wars (3.65/5): Lab tests found 80% sand removal from carpet, 92% flattened pet hair pickup, 0% hair wrap, 19 of 24 obstacles avoided and a combined mopping score of 29 against a 22 average; coverage was about 757 sq ft per charge against a 1,117 sq ft average and crevice pickup was weak. Source
- TechRadar: Mapped a large village hall and open plan home accurately and mopped hard floors with no streaks; carpet results were good but left more debris than expected in a heavy debris test, and the app was slow and overwhelming. Source
