Pros
  • Steam mopping at 180 °C from the boiler, with a fresh-water wipe after it and, by a later update, automatic re-mopping of dried-on stains
  • 270 mm roller at 18 N and 300 rpm that extends 8 cm, lifts 15 mm and seals itself on carpet
  • 40,000 Pa behind a TÜV-certified anti-tangle DuoBrush, with brushes that lift too
  • Retracting turret: 89.5 mm under furniture
  • Camera plus 3D structured light, people and pets recognised
  • Pads lift, extend and detach; 75 °C wash and 100 days of dust
Cons
  • No runtime, charging time, noise figure or warranty term published
  • Steam and the extended roller cannot be used at the same time; room-mode steam and the automatic re-mop wait for an update
  • 6.12 kg, the heaviest Dreame robot vacuum we list
  • 22 mm single-step threshold; the 40 mm figure needs two steps
  • 19,500 Pa, well under the flagships
  • Plumbing kit costs extra
Best for
  • Kitchens with greasy or dried-on stains, where steam does what pads cannot
  • Homes with sills, rugs and pets, where the legs, the lift and the pet features all count
  • Flats with low sofas and beds where 89.5 mm decides coverage
  • Homes with a pet and cables, on a mid-range budget
