## 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](https://vacuumwars.com/dreame-d20-plus-review/)
- 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.

### Eufy 11S Max

- TechHive: The jump to 2,000 Pa lifted more crumbs and pet hair, especially on carpet, and it crossed carpet to hardwood smoothly. It navigates by driving straight and turning on contact, so cables should be tidied. [Source](https://www.techhive.com/article/583831/eufy-robovac-11s-max-review.html)
- The Ambient: Removed most of the dirt in its runs and was very quiet in standard mode, but with no app or mapping it bounced around at random, choked on cables and got wedged between chairs. [Source](https://www.the-ambient.com/?p=11324)
- Mighty Gadget (87%): Left a full bin after each room and rarely caught on cables; the reviewer did not run formal suction tests. [Source](https://mightygadget.co.uk/?p=24993)
