What reviewers found
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
Dreame L60 Ultra FE
- Vacuum Wars (2.92 Vacuum Wars stars (buyer's guide)): Tested alongside the PE: 80% carpet sand removal, 51% flattened pet hair pickup, 7% hair wrap, 2 of 24 obstacles avoided, dried stain score 137 (108 average) and about 1,110 sq ft per charge. Source
- Just A Dad Approved (8.2/10): After 90 days of home testing, liked the flagship style hot water dock and included TriCut brush, but noted the 0.78 in threshold limit, lower mop pressure than the PE and only solid obstacle avoidance. Source
