What reviewers found
Dreame Z1
- CyberShack (8.6/10): Ran 160 to 180 min in standard mode. A 20 m2 floor, 24 m2 wall and 24 m tile line test took 80 min and used 47% of the battery. Charged in 4 to 5 h and weighs 12.1 kg. Source
- The AU Review (3.5/5): Ran just under 3 h and charged in about 4 h. Strong suction, but missed tight corners, sometimes left debris on walls, moved slowly, and the remote and app connection were weak. Source
Mammotion SPINO E1
- PCWorld: Called it capable and easy to use. It brushed ladder rungs and kept going without getting stuck, where an Aiper Scuba V3 got stuck several times. Drained in about 5 seconds. No pool map, no cleaning logs and no live data underwater; fine pollen passed through the 180 micron basket. Source
- The Smart Home Hookup: In a 10 robot test, a 2 h 51 min session covered 97% of the floor, 47% of the walls and 28% of the stairs and bench. It got stuck in the deep end and bench area during wall mode, cycled its suction motor on and off, and climbed an 8 in shelf without cleaning it. Source
