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
  • Legs for a 4.2 cm sill or a 6 cm double step
  • RGB camera with structured light, 180+ object types and pet recognition
  • The dock washes at up to 75 °C, re-mops by the colour of the wash water, dries, refills and holds dust for 100 days
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
  • 97 mm tall with a fixed LiDAR, against the L50 Pro Ultra's 89.5 mm
  • No noise figure, charging time or robot tank size published
  • Sold out on Dreame's Polish shop and not listed on the German one
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
  • Homes with high sills or a step between rooms
  • Pet owners who want the robot to see the animal and keep clear of it
