Dreame has been producing robot vacuums as well as cordless vacuums since 2015. I have tested three robots in the lineup and must say they left me very impressed. Good quality, better than average cleaning performance on par with advanced navigation. Let’s have a look at the models that have already been released on par with those that are not widely available yet.

These two are the cheapest models that don't come with a self-emptying station and lack the premium features the others have. Ideal for homes with hard floors.
Dreame D9 Max
The Dreame D9 Max is the cheapest in the lineup. Doesn't have a self-emptying station, doesn't see small objects, and mopping is basic.
For hard floors mostly

Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2
Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2
Mopping robot vacuum
The Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2's station has a big disposable bag. Not suitable for those who want a mopping robot that also vacuums since it has a small water tank that can not cover a big hard floor area.
Good if you don't need the best mopping experience
This is a great value if you don't need extras like object recognition but still want a robot vacuum that empties itself.

Self-washing station
Dreame made an auto-maintenance station with the following features:
- Auto-empty. Sucks the dustbin's content into the disposable bag.
- Auto-fill water & detergent. Fills the water tank. The latest models come with a detergent container to supply it to the water tank.
- Auto-wash the mopping pads and washboard. Older models do not wash the washboard and wash the pads with cold water. The latest do so with hot water.
- Drying the mopping pads. The mopping pads are getting dried with hot water after mopping.
Depending on the model, the base station has advanced features. Also, the X series has a redesigned compact station and a detergent tank compatible with any detergent.
Connectivity
Each Dreame can be controlled via the app connected through WiFi. None has a remote control.
App features
The robots have all the features you want in a modern smart robot. Like No-go zones, zoned cleaning, and room cleaning that are common for all models. There is also scheduling, cleaning sequence, maintenance information, and other options.
- Zoned cleaning and room cleaning are area cleaning. You can send the robot to clean a particular room or a zone.
- No-go zones keep the robot off certain areas like pet bowls or cluttered areas.
- Water level and suction power can be switched in the app too.
- The later models support saving multiple maps and allow setting no-mop zones. No-mop zones are active only with a mopping attachment on and made for avoiding carpets when the robot mops the floors while no-go zones keep the robot off particular areas altogether.
- Also, scheduling might have additional features in the latest models.
How good is mopping
The Dreame robots include a water tank in the box and can do vacuuming and mopping. All of them have an electric water tank that has a pump so you can control the water flow level in the app.
The D9 Max and L10 Pro have a very similar mopping system, so these two do the same job as a mop.
The L and X series have a double mopping pad system that rotates in opposite directions for better mopping performance. Additionally, some latest models extend and lift a side sweeper, brushroll, or mops for better mopping performance.
The latest models have a bunch of sensors that recognize how dirty the mops are and send the robot to rewash the mops.
Mop Removal
When the robot needs to vacuum a carpet, it automatically removes the mopping pads and leaves them on the station.
RoboSwing & Mop extend
The mop extends along the walls and corners and goes straight.
The RoboSwing & Mop extend (the X series) swings the robot when extends the mop getting deeper for better mopping results.
Dreame L Series
The L series has four modifications, the L10 (with modifications), L20, L30 Ultra, and L40 Ultra. It is an advanced series with an upgraded station that has two water tanks for washing and drying the mopping pads.
L10s has four modifications:

The Dreame L10s Pro Gen2 vs. L10s Pro vs. L10s Ultra vs. L10s Pro Ultra
The L10s Pro Gen 2 is the cheapest with no self-emptying station. It has all the same features as the L10s Pro but comes with a standard charging base in the box.
The Dreame L10s Pro's station is simpler with no auto-wash function.
The L10s Ultra is not as powerful as the L10S Pro Ultra and doesn't have mop extend or hot water washing.

The Dreame L10s Pro Ultra is the most-featured robot in the L10 series.
It is ideal if you are looking for a robot with premium features that don't cost that much compared to what the market offers.
Dreame L40 Ultra
Dreame L40 Ultra
Mopping robot vacuum
The Dreame L40 Ultra is the best robot in the L series with advanced smart features, bells, and whistles.
Dreame L10s vs. L20 vs. L30 Ultra vs. L40 Ultra
The L series has lots of the same features. The difference is power, hot water wash, side sweeper extend, and dirt detection. Depending on suction and a number of smart features, you can get the model that would suit your home.
X Series
The X series has two modifications, the X30 Ultra and X40 Ultra. You can use any detergent with the X series while the L series strictly belong to Dreame's detergent.
The difference between the L and X series is:
- The X has a smaller station
- The X has RoboSwing&mop extend technology
- A different station and detergent container design.
As to the difference between the Dreame X30 Ultra vs. X40 Ultra, the latest extends and lifts a side sweeper for cleaning corners. A hotter temperature of mop washing and the X40 Ultra has more power.

The two best robot vacuums on the market: Dreame X40 Ultra vs Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
Dreame X40 Ultra
Mopping robot vacuum
The Dreame X40 Ultra is the best robot vacuum in the lineup, and few models on the market compete with it.
Extends a side brush and mop to reach walls and corners
Which one is the best?
The choice can be made based on a few things like budget, and your personal needs. I have to say that all of them do the job of picking up debris on hard floors and carpets.
For $300 you get a great robot vacuum, the D9 that doesn’t have a 3D sensor yet is capable of carpet and hard floor cleaning and overall a great choice for those who don’t need newer technologies. The same goes for the D9 Max.
Those who are looking for a self-emptying robot but don't want to pay more for extra features have a look at the Dreame D10 Plus. A great robot vacuum is for homes with a carpeted surface mostly or those who don't need a mopping function that much since the robot's mopping is not suitable for big hard floor areas.
The Dreame L10 Pro Ultra is the best for all kinds of surfaces. It is almost maintenance-free, [powerful, smart has the same features is cheaper than its competitors.
The Dreame L40 Ultra is a premium robot vacuum with a bigger station for those who want a good quality robot and don't need extras.
The Dreame X40 Ultra is the best of the best for those who want it all. It reaches edges and corners, has a smaller station, compatible with any detergent, and has lots of power for cleaning carpets and pet hair.
