What reviewers found
Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2
- Tom's Guide: Scored 85% overall pickup: Cheerios 80% on hardwood and 90% on carpet, kitty litter 95% on both, pet hair 70% on hardwood and 80% on carpet. Bumped into walls and large objects and CleanGenius mistook wood grain for stains. Source
- Stuff (South Africa) (8.5/10): Reliable LiDAR navigation and low maintenance, never needed a mid clean recharge in a small flat. Tomato sauce stains needed extra passes and the top knob blocked low furniture. Subscores Design 8, Performance 9, Features 9, Value 8. Source
Dreame L40s Ultra AE
- Vacuum Wars (3.52 Vacuum Wars stars): 85% carpet sand removal, 81% pet hair pickup, 0% hair wrap, 19 of 24 obstacles avoided and about 2,462 sq ft per charge against a 1,015 average. Named Best Value of the Year. Source
- Just A Dad Approved (7.9/10): After 90+ days of home testing, liked the AI camera, included TriCut brush and low upkeep, but said corners get less attention without an extending side brush and recommended buying only on deep sale. Its bottom line text names a different model, so treat the score with care. Source
