Our verdict
The C1 Station S is the kit Dreame sells beside the plain C1: the robot in this kit is rated at 8,000 Pa peak with pressure compensation, where the plain C1 and the older C1 Station kit print 5,500 Pa, from the same 3,300 Pa sustained vacuum. The rest is the C1 at its best: a Z or N route at 14 cm/s that resumes after an interruption and returns to its start, four CornerClean brushes turning through 360° for the corners, optocouplers that see the edge in 0.02 s and obstacles at 2 mm, and a rating for marble and tiles as well as glass, from 30 × 40 cm to 2.5 × 4 m. The 8.3 kg station anchors with an 800 N suction cup, winds the 5.5 m cable in on a button, and the cable is rated to 140 kg. The battery is unclear: the table gives the S kit 4,150 mAh and 60 minutes, the copy says 7,800 mAh, 180 minutes and 90 m² per charge, so we record neither. No warranty term, power-cut minutes or robot weight are printed.
Pros
- 8,000 Pa peak with pressure compensation, up from the plain C1's 5,500 Pa
- Planned route at 14 cm/s with resume and return to start; corners by four 360° brushes
- Station anchored at 800 N with button-press cable winding, voice prompts and a 140 kg-rated cable
- Panes from 30 × 40 cm to 2.5 × 4 m on glass, marble or tiles; 63 dB
- Four cloths in the box, so a dirty one need not go back on
Cons
- Dreame prints two battery figures for this kit: 4,150 mAh and 60 minutes in the table, 7,800 mAh and 180 minutes in the copy
- No power-cut minutes, warranty term or robot weight on the page
- An 8.3 kg station to carry; no area figure for the 80 ml tank, only a 60-minute cycle
- Sold on Dreame's German shop only, and out of stock when read
Best for
- Tall panes and stairwell glass without a socket nearby
- Buyers who want the C1's quiet corner cleaning with more grip
Not recommended for
- Anyone who needs a firm runtime figure before buying
- A ground floor with a socket by every window, where the plain C1 does the same job for less

In detail
Cleaning
It sprays water from a 80 ml tank. It moves at 14 cm/s. It has 5 cleaning modes. It reaches into corners.
Grip and fit
Suction of 8,000 Pa keeps it on the glass, with pressure compensation. The manufacturer rates it for panes from 30 × 40 cm up to 250 × 400 cm. It detects the pane edge, so frameless glass is fine. It also works on other smooth surfaces.
Safety
The manufacturer states no power-cut backup. A safety rope is included, rated for 140 kg.
Navigation and control
It plans its path, resumes after an interruption, returns to where it started and steers round obstacles. It comes with a remote. It gives voice prompts. It runs cordless.
