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
MOVA Diver A10
- The Smart Home Hookup: In a 10 robot test, ran 3 h 51 min and covered 99% of the floor, 76% of the walls and 49% of stairs and bench. Briefly got stuck in the deep end, scrubbed walls poorly, and its suction cut off on the shallow shelf. Source
- AndroidGuys (4.1): Floor only cleaning lasted about 4 h per charge and wall and waterline cleaning about 3 h. Reviewer did not hit the Wi-Fi setup problems some users reported. Source
