A camera free way to get the L60 boiling water mop dock for less. Vacuum Wars found it mops dried stains better than the PE, but it picked up only 51% of flattened pet hair and avoided just 2 of 24 obstacles. Good for tidy homes with hard floors, not for pet owners or cluttered rooms.

The Plus 405 Combo gives you LiDAR mapping, lifting spin mops and a dock that empties and washes pads for about $800. Both independent tests we read were unimpressed: weak measured suction, poor carpet and pet hair results, wet floors and no obstacle avoidance. Hard floor homes that want the iRobot app can consider it on a deep sale; most buyers should compare other docks first.

What reviewers found
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
iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo
- Vacuum Wars (1.66 Vacuum Wars stars): Measured 0.13 kPa suction and 10 CFM airflow against 0.83 kPa and 16 CFM averages, 58% carpet deep clean against 75%, 50% flattened pet hair against 66%, and 5.20 g of water left behind. Dried stain score of 145 beat the 93 average. Called it a letdown. Source
- BestReviews: Tested in a 1,000 sq ft two level apartment. Picked up 90% to 95% of faux fur on hard floors but under 50% on carpet, spread spilled water, tangled on cords twice in one run, and the dock measured 80 to 85 dB when emptying. Testers did not recommend it. Source
