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 X60 Ultra
- Senses (Sweden) (9/10): Called the warm water mopping very impressive and saw it avoid a sock, tennis ball and stuffed toy and boost power under a dusty bed. Downsides were price, a large dock and costly bags. No lab measurements. Source
- iTWire (Australia): Saw it climb about 4 cm steps, consistent with Dreame's 4.5 cm single step rating. A 5 cm nail stopped one run, the app's nested menus were hard to learn, and the word okay on phone calls woke the voice assistant. Dreame supplied the unit. Source
