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
  • 360° LiDAR with a four-layer 3D map plus two 136° cameras
  • Triangular mops that extend to the edge and a sensor that mops until clean
  • 12 mm mop lift with a 160% suction boost on carpet; SGS-certified zero tangling
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
  • 18,000 Pa, the lowest of the Narwal flagships
  • 110 mm tall with the turret
  • Bin, tank, noise, runtime and threshold height not published
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
  • Mixed floors with rugs and carpet, where the lift and the boost matter
  • Buyers who want LiDAR reliability over the newest mop
