"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"For an open style earbud, these genuinely surprised me with their overall performance in sound at this price point. ... IMHO, these Soundpeats PearlClip Pro are probably the best I’ve heard in this under $50 price category when it comes to this style of earbuds. ... These are one of the best clip-on earbuds in this price category especially when it comes to price to performance in sound quality and feature set"

"It also doesn’t bump into stuff, slows down and turns around before running into anything. I am impressed. ... The navigation is night and day between this and J9+, no more bumping or getting lost. ... I think it’s better, it has the front facing camera which looks to be higher resolution, plus the LiDAR does make a huge difference to the speed of navigation, plus it doesn’t bump into furniture or doors anymore."
"The best feature of the L40/X40/p10 pro ultra is that they have class leading object avoidance so you don't have to pick up your cat's toys or prep your house every time you want to run the robot meaning you can run it on a daily schedule which will keep your house cleaner. ... I run my X40s daily and they never get stuck on cables, cat toys and other random junk that ends up on the floor."
"On top of that, you get a great app, excellent navigation and good obstacle avoidance. ... It also has a really fantastic navigation and obstacle avoidance system that is far superior to any vacuum only robovac that I have experience with."

"I have 3 parrots so the floor ALWAYS has something on it. Bird poo, food, small chunks of wood, doesn't matter robots got it covered."
"I’ve seen on the camera the poor guy making multiple trips to self empty while in one room but it’s cut the hair buildup tenfold."
"With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. ... Life changing."

"I absolutely do not regret buying the robot vacuum. ... My room is a lot cleaner and dust-free now, and I can tell just by wiping my floor with a wet toilet paper and seeing barely anything picked up. ... I've been getting allergens a ton less, most of which not even in my room. ... All this for the commitment of a weekly emptying is miles more convenient than vacuuming traditionally, as opposed to making a few taps on my phone. ... looking back it was definitely worth the investment."
"I also have two giant long haired (nonshedding excessively) cats. I shed hair a LOT. Worse than the cats. It works so well."
"I found that it was even able to get up caked on Kitty vomit if I simply sprayed those areas with cleaning vinegar beforehand. ... I was pleasantly surprised."

"The self-emptying feature is a game-changer"
"The self-cleaning station is a huge time-saver, as it takes care of the mopping pads for you."
"Self emptying is the best upgrade ... haaaated emptying that thing constantly"

"My S7 basically vacuums up the chunks and then mops the liquids. ... The biggest issue for me is that the moist chunks gum up the vac tray in the dock and I have to clean it regularly. ... The robot scoops up wet barf chunks that get in the dust bin and when the dock empties the dust bin the wet chunks stick to the dock and when they dry it’s like concrete since they mix with cat hair and dust that gets swept up. ... I have to unscrew the dust bin emptying chute and clean it in the sink and sometimes need a screwdriver to scrape the stuff off."
"But I dislike the mopping system. It does a great job mopping, but the mechanism in the dock used to clean the mops it too complicated and needs far too much maintenance."
"not anything fancier because all that hair will just clog any automated dock."

"after one week the robot was making very loud odd noise"
"broke down after two months ... couldn’t get it fixed on multiple attempts"
"The out of warranty repair cost was 75% of what a new one would cost so I chucked it."

"It also was not mopping correct. There was always a dry line between the two mops."

"one issue I had was that the app would close if someone called me, which can be a big problem mid-flight."
"Installing the DJI Fly app on Android was a bit of a nuisance too, it's not in Google Play so you have to go through a few hoops, that and there are about to be implemented some changes to Android that will make it even more difficult for third party apps to be installed if the developer doesn't want to have their app in the Play store."

"Of these, the worst mopping will be the Q5 and Q8 robots, which just have stationary pads attached to the back."
"Where they have never done a great job is on Oriental Rugs. ... The golden hair just kind of balls up or gets stuck on the edge. ... Ran it last night on a rug that hadn't been hit in a week or so and it actually looked worse when I woke up because so much hair was brought to the edges."
"The Sharks left behind pools of water in the tests, there is no way to turn it off. ... its leaves the floors worse (streaky and dirty) than if it had never mopped."
I can second this, using Dreame L10s Pro Ultra Heat, cleans better than maid, in terms for both mopping and brooming. We have both Glossy and Matt tiles, works better on Glossy tiles. The accessories do last up for months (3 at least), the only problem might be the cleaning liquid, it’s a bit expensive but you can clean mops yourself and spray Lizol and stuff on the floor if needed.
I just got the dreame L10 pro ultra, upgraded from a roomba i3 after getting so annoyed at it getting stuck all the time. I’ve got 2 cats, a dog, and a rabbit. I’ve never seen the floors so clean. You can literally feel the difference in bare feet. Not sure how the higher end models compare but my god this thing is awesome.
In this price range you can get a Dreame L10s Pro Ultra Heat, currently for a good deal. Has a base station and rotary mop pads that will do a better job overall than the Philips and mopping. Similar battery life but the Dreame has better suction so it will be better for picking up things on carpet. worth looking into currently for the price.
L40 Ultra with current in store promotions will definitely make the decision a lot easier, since it can be had for $399 before tax, plus they throw in free gifts with purchase. It's a better overall model than the L10s with more suction, battery, better self washing and washboard cleaning as well. It's a steal for the price and if you were considering one over the other, I'd say overall L40 Ultra is a great value product in the market right now. Hope this helps narrow down the search a little for you, and if any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. happy hunting!
Both the S20 Ultra and L10S Pro Ultra Heat have RGB cameras. Only the S20 has a led fill light for dark environments, the L10S Pro Ultra doesn’t. I don’t think the obstacle avoidance on both machines will be as good as the X40 Ultra though. L10S Pro Ultra heat has warm water mop washing and mop extension.
L10S Pro Ultra Heat can clean the mops, dry them and autoempty the dustbin but that’s about it for cleaning itself. These other robots can clean the mop washboard which cleans the mop and usually can get dirty as the plastic nubs that rub against the mops will trap dirt. Some can clean the filter by blowing air against the filter when autoemptying.
It depends on tall your thresholds are: For single thresholds: Up to 2cm: most modern robots can cross with no difficulty Up to 2.2cm: Dreame L/X40 Ultra. The dreame models with the EasyLeap wheels (L40S Ultra/Pro Ultra and the L50 Ultra) can cross the first threshold up to 2.2cm and a secondary threshold right after up to 1.8cm Up to 3cm: roborock models with the AdaptLift chassis. It can cross a single threshold up to 3cm and a secondary threshold right after up to 1cm. Up to 3.5cm: the MOVA P60 Pro Ultra (mainland china only for now) has active suspension like the roborock Adaptlift chassis and the EasyLeap edge climbing wheels to climb a single threshold up to 3.5cm and a secondary threshold up to 3.5cm. Up to 4.2cm: Dreame X50 Ultra, Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track, and the MOVA V50 Ultra all can cross a single threshold up to 4.2cm if the threshold is shorter than 9-10cm (5.2cm if the threshold is sufficiently long enough) and a secondary threshold up to 1.8cm.
1. It really depends on your purchasing region. Costco is a popular choice given its generous return policy but choices are rather limited compared to buying from Amazon which has an easy return policy within 30 days. For other purchasing regions, buying from a reputable retailer with a good return policy and an optional protection plan would be good. In Australia, I heard Harvey Norman is nicer with returns compared to JB HIFI. 2. The robots with the best self cleaning will be Dreame’s L/X50 Ultra/L40S Ultra/Pro Ultra and MOVA’s V50 Ultra P50S Ultra > MOVA’s P50 Ultra/ Pro Ultra > Roborock’s models that have spinning mops with the Multifunctional Dock 3.0 (roborock models with a vibrating mop have a washboard that is more difficult to clean as you can’t remove it) ≈ Narwal Freo models (completely detachable base) > Dreame’s models with the mop-driven wiper mop washboard (cleaning the wiper washboard is rather difficult since there’s too many nooks and crannies and you’d still have to get down to clean the areas the wipers can’t reach) > other combo robots with an all in one base station As for combo robots with roller mops and have an all in one base station, the washboard is generally flat with a few grooves so it’s pretty easy to clean. I believe most of their washboards are removable. However, it’ll require more cleaning in the mop compartment and dirty water tank. Most roller mop models have an annoying cylindrical component which drives the roller mop like an upright wet dry vacuum but you can’t remove or move it to give it a deeper clean even if gunk is stuck on it. The only combos that are close to the level of self cleaning for spinning mop models are Dreame’s Aqua 10 Pro track, the MOVA Z50 Ultra, and the Narwal Flow since both have self-cleaning mechanisms that are made to also clean the dirty water tank and the mop compartment while also having a very easy to clean mop compartment since the thing that moves the mops is also completely removable. If you want to support a US startup, you could look at the Matic since it’s a vacuum and mop robot but taking care of it looks rather easy since it lacks a base station. The maintenance involved is replacing the bag, refilling the water with a cleaning solution of choice, occasionally cleaning the roller mop, the roller mop filter, cleaning the brush roller and de clogging the mop tubes if needed.
I like how Jamie Andrews tests aspects that are advertised for quality of life (self cleaning the dock and using hot water) whereas vacuumwars simply rattles them off like a sales brief checklist. I can confirm Dreame does reach the advertised hot water temperature listed (I tested myself with an electric thermometer connected to the area on the washboard where the water would flow from the pipes) and it usually hovers at about 5-10°C below the advertised temperature before reaching it for a second or two. Don’t know about the new AceClean dock as I don’t have it but Dreame told me any misplacement of the temperature probes will result in measuring errors of more than 10°C.
I highly recommend combo robots if your parents walk around the house barefoot, it greatly improves the feel! The combo robots I found best for keeping itself clean are the dreame and MOVA robots with the filter self cleaning function and the flat washboard. I was able to get away with making my MOVA V50 run everyday for 3 months without a noticeable change in cleanliness. After that it’ll be and the roborock Curv 2 Pro and the Narwal spinning mop robots which generally consume more water than the other options. The app is going to be a challenge for them but you can set it up for them and put it on a schedule so they won’t have to open the app at all.
I just flashed a dreame l10s ultra heat. I can tell you the breakout board is not necessary. Just used a USB cable cut of one end and connected the robot with standard jumper cables to the cut USB cable. Just need to connect d+ d- and ground. The breakouts button just connects the boot select to ground, which can also easily be done with a jumper cable.
I also have a three level house. Lots of hardwood, tile and low pile carpet. Love the newer high end mova and dreame models. Considered moving 1 robot vac to upper and lower levels, but instead bought 3 Dreame L10s ultra pro heat models for $499 CAD each including a free tri-cut brush roll. Aprox 310 Euro each. Amazing deal from amazon.ca. everything is great, mapping, navigation, object avoidance, mopping, vacuuming, no hair tangles with the tri-cut brush eoll. A fellow Redditor that owns a number of robot vacs said he prefers his Dreame L10s ultra pro heat to his newer Dreame vac. My wife loves not having to move a single robot vac up and downstairs. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WAOSu29VpEA&li
L10s pro ultra heat. We recently bought three, two for our two level house and one for our vacation home. This model is the sweet spot for features and value. I got them from Amazon.ca during a promotion that included a free tri-cut brush roller which results in no long hair tangles. Paid $499 CAD for each including the free tri-cut brush roller. We chose this over the L10S ultra Gen 2 because the Gen 2 doesn't have an AI camera for obstacle avoidance. I've also seen a Reddit post where a guy owns a few higher model dreame vacs and his favorite is the L10S pro ultra heat. FYI we use mop after vac and moisture setting number 27. Works great with very little maintenance.
Absolutely happy with our Dreame L10s Pro Ultra Heat. We‘re using it since June 2024 (almost 370 cycles / total cleaning time of 250 hours) and wouldn‘t want to miss it. Mopping function was an absolute game changer for us.
We purchased the Dreame Pro Ultra Heat and he is fabulous and very self sufficient.
We purchased the Dreame L10 Pro Ultra Heat about a month ago and it is genuinely AMAZING. He is so self sufficient. Washes his own mop pads. Empties himself into a dustbin bag (that still hasn't even needing changing yet). He just shoots me a text when he needs water top up (or waste water thrown out). BRILLIANT. And if I'm being honest, he does a better job of vaccumming and mopping our floors than our fortnightly human cleaner. Highly recommend. Every person I know that has made the investment has never regretted it.
We purchased the Dreame Pro Ultra Heat. It’s the single best thing we have purchased for ourselves in a long time. We have a fortnightly cleaner and if I’m honest, the Dreame does a better and more thorough job.
My first robovac was irobot roomba, and it didn't last a year. Roborock, I forgot the model that lasted 2 years. Price wasn't a problem as long as I would get my money's worth out of them, and I didn't. I decided to get Dreame L10S pro ultra heat. It is the most expensive one, but it is probably the more affordable one, but reviews were good. I saw it for 50% off a few months ago and bought it. I was considering upgrading to another model from Dreame, so I won't have to carry this robot up & down the stairs constantly. It is easy to set up and maps home quickly. It has excellent obstacle avoidance and to my surprise a camera so I can see where it's going and what it is doing. It's also great to just send it on a cruise to check on pets, etc. I didn't buy the roller one because I know a few people that bought them and they weren't that impressed, but everyone has different needs and opinions. I would buy a higher end Dreame or Roborock again but Dreame seems to do the same job for a lower price.
I went with the L10S Pro Ultra Heat, and I love it! It cleans very well. I love that it cleans the mop pads with hot water and the cleaning solution and auto dries them. The mop head extending to get the edges. The obstacle avoidance is excellent between the LIDAR laser sensors and the camera. I didn't know it came with a camera but I have come to love that feature. When it's cleaning it sends me pics of any obstacles, and if I dropped something that went under the furniture, it finds it for me, lol. I also used it to cruise around to check on my dog, who was ill at the time. It has never sucked up anything it shouldn't have. I was concerned about it banging up my new dining room set but it doesn't come close to banging into it. I can't speak for the other models but for the price this does everything I need and more. I also use it for both floors I just have to bring it up to the second floor.
As the poster above mentioned, most of them don't have cameras for object detection. I think bellow 600€ there is only a limited number available. Some ecovac Modells have a camera, I think the t30c “pro" is sometimes available for 599€ in sales and has a camera object detection. And I think only the Dreame l10s ultra heat has camera object detection (and the old l10s ultra). The new l10s ultra gen2 models have not. But then I often read that the camera doesn't always make a better detection. In terms of features I suggest the (dreame) mova p50 ultra, which had much more features as most other models and is available for 579€, the p50 pro ultra has ai camera, too, but is 729€ (which is unbeatable for its features). So mova is a dreame daughter and they often even work in the dreamer App, but they are always packing much more features than the more expensive dreame versions. But be aware: many manufacturers offer "ultra", "pro" or "pro ultra" versions (sometimes “pro ultra Omni) and often the "ultra" or "pro" versions only have laser object detection, with any manufacturer, so you normally need the "pro ultra" version to get ai camera obstacle avoidance. But still, often it doesn't make too much of a difference, nearly every robot still has problems detecting everything.
