What reviewers found
Dreame L50 Ultra
- Vacuum Wars (3.84/5): Measured 90% carpet sand removal, 100% pet hair pickup, 20 of 24 obstacles avoided, a 211 point mopping score versus a 188 average with 0.35 g of water left, and a 42 mm threshold climb; coverage was below average at about 823 sq ft per charge. Source
- Vacuum Wars (3 month test): After three months of daily use with kids and a heavy shedding dog, mapping and obstacle avoidance held up, but hair formed clumps, the dock and bin clogged about once a week, and the app did not warn of clogs. Source
iRobot Roomba Max 775 Combo
- Gizmodo: Good vacuuming with no clogs and a streak free roller mop that handled ketchup about as well as rivals, but noisy, a buggy app on long runs, unreliable carpet detection and trapped twice under a bed. A full vacuum and mop of 750 sq ft took about 2.5 hours. Source
- Tom's Guide: Hard to recommend. Hardwood pickup of 44% hair, 86.5% Rice Krispies and 91% chia seeds; carpet 52%, 63.5% and 35%. Bumped walls often, scattered debris with its side brushes and left slight mop residue. Source
