- Suction

- Navigation
- LDS LiDAR
- Mopping
- Dual spinning mops
- Runtime
- Up to 260 min in quiet
A cheap way into a self emptying, mop washing dock with long runtime. Vacuum Wars found good carpet cleaning and no hair tangles, but weak pet hair pickup, poor obstacle avoidance and wet mopping. Spend more on the L40s Ultra or AE if you have pets or clutter.
Full Dreame L40s Ultra CE review →- Suction
- 13,000 Pa claimed
- Navigation
- 3D structured light
- Mopping
- Dual rotary mops
One of the best values in all in one dock robots, with above average suction, low hair wrap and long coverage per charge in Vacuum Wars testing. Mopping of dried stains and carpet pet hair pickup were below average. Skip it if mopping tough kitchen messes is your main need.
