I skipped right to the verdict and there was a clear answer. I dislike non-committal "it depends," which is then followed up by a whole lot of disclaimers that, if taken together, clearly points to one of them being a winner.
I have the Dream L10. While is does a great job over the last two months the mop pads (fabric part) have been coming off the plastic spinners. I believe the velcro on the plastic is breaking down and not gripping the fabric enough
Great video! ASMR like for the win! I purchased the Roborock I basically filtered by price eBay was the most expensive was going to be the best. Normally works for me. I was extremely frustrated with the Roborock for the price, it failed almost every mission. It was in a 3 car garage with a black polished floor. No carpets and no fringe and nothing but vehicle tires. It acted as if it was a $200 robot from a Chinese rip off company. The water would need to be changed daily. It got lost and stopped and then ran out of battery 9/10 times. I found your video looking for an alternative and it’s clear from the video the x40 is better on a paper all around. Ordering now from Amazon. Will report back.
I have the 6 MaxV and it's good but roborock dose have some quirks after some time like not docking properly, And with object detection like eating cables along the way, I've just bought the dreame and I'm looking forward for seamless cleaning.. I really hope so because it is SO expensive 😆
what could be better than a true honest feedback, most of the reviewers you could feel from the first word that its paid campaign, which is not here. Thank you!
I totally understand that the roborock can finish sooner depending on your home. The dreame x40 has to turn its mop extends and swing into edges while the roborock had the more practical pathing pattern.
@@TheFrenchGlow actually, I did return my Q Revo MaxV for the X40 and coming from the original Q Revo, the MaxV did have a different way of cleaning, it did squares instead of doing each whole room all at once, which I thought was odd, which did actually take longer. And got stuck on everything…
This was a great review and believe me I'm a bit of an expert on s8 MaxV Ultra and Dreame X40 RUclips reviews because I think I've watched pretty much every one out there including a lot of German X40 reviews using the ability to turn on subtitles (in German) and have RUclips auto-translate them into English in order to (mostly) understand them. I have one big question I would value your thoughts on although sadly (for the question) I think you don't have any rooms with wall-to-wall carpets. From everything I've seen the Dreame doesn't use its side brush when on carpets/rugs. That's probably not such a huge issue for area rugs but for wall-to-wall carpet it means it won't get into edges and corners. In fact even for rugs it would seem to me to be a bit of an issue because it won't get right in around furniture legs or the edges of cabinets. My one hope is that in a few reviews I've seen the app walkthrough show a screen with global options for carpets and the last option on the screen is "Ignore" which Dreame says is for homes with no carpets or with carpets that can be mopped and apparently if the Carpets/Ignore option is toggled on the X40 will basically treat carpet/rug areas like hard floors so will use the side brush. Have you tried that option at all? What I'm thinking is that I get it to go and mop my kitchen and bathrooms then come back and leave its pads at the base before going out again to vacuum all my carpets. With Carpets/Ignore set to on I'm hoping that would mean it would have the side brush active for all of the carpet vacuuming. I assume that in theory it would never try to mop my carpets anyway so long as I always have the carpeted rooms set to vacuum-only but being able to leave the mop pads at the base gives extra reassurance that having the Carpets/Ignore option turned on won't cause any nasty mopping-the-carpets incidents.
Hi! I'll make a follow up video for you. I have a room with wall to wall, high pile to test on. It's interesting that they can patch it in if it doesn't already.
@@TheFrenchGlow Thank you so much. You are the best. I'll be really interested to see/hear how you get on. The trend for hardwood floors has been going on for a long time but even after all these decades I think wall-to-wall carpet is still quite common in bedrooms so for a best-you-can-get (not to say amongst the most expensive!) robot vacuums on the market right now I really hope there is a workable solution to make it clean the edges and corners in carpeted rooms as well as hard floored ones.
12:20 You should keep the dustbin inlet, outlet and filter sealing contact surfaces clean. Otherwise the airflow might bypass the bin and reduce efficiency, or even clog the vaccuum blower inlet.
I have x40 ultra. One of the downsides is carpet customization. If it auto detects carpets and you remove it later it still cleans that area like a carpet. Only way to solve this is remapping.. Also there is no option to clean only a carpet. I also had several cases when robot starts going back and forth in one small area out of the blue. Once had to cancel cleaning session because it started cleaning that spot for countless minutes. Recognition is also not perfect. Sometimes it detects corner of my carpet as a bathroom scale and will avoid cleaning that area. Also had small issue with my map - it shifted and small area of bathroom became corridor. But you can easily customize it back. Its not an issue for me but people who have carpet floors this robot will suck because extendable arm doesnt work on carpets. Besides all this - great fucking robot, pretty happy with it
*Why is it that they can't create bagless models? I believe they should be capable of cleaning staircases and navigating upwards. How effective are they at reaching corners, and do they have any notifications to alert users if they pick up valuable items such as earrings, rings, pen caps, SIM cards, coins, and so on? Is the suction strong enough to handle £2 coins?*
Great thorough comparison! Can they work on long-pole carpets ? And will they be able to go over a 1 cm floor separators, I have one at the kitchen entrance that is made of different flooring .
I gave you 8:37 seconds of my life, but not a second more, your head to head comparison video is so incredibly biased that it really for me became an advertisement for Dreame X40. This is not what I was interested in spending my precious time on, so in all fairness I must give your lack of ability to judge two products a failing grade and thumbs down for not being an honest judge IMHO.
The X40 hands down because you can buy a plumbing kit and never have to deal with emptyign tanks and filling tanks ever again. A no brainer in my opion. S8 you d have to buy the version that has plumbing and then you dont have tanks.
Which is the best option if you have a dog with long hair? I see that in dreame you have a special brush but in Roborock we have two brushes, so, any opinion or feedback about this? thank you
I bought an x40 a few weeks ago and it was dead on arrival. Robot would dock but not charge, it would retry continuously then went dead and got returned. Could not recommend
Hi! I have ultra high pile rugs and carpets and it doesn't leave them wet. The dreame can vacuum first without the mop pads and then you can send it back to mop any non carpeted areas.
15:57 lol my $359 Roborock Q5 plus has the same problem. This is exactly why I refuse to dump $1800 on a vacuum that the manufacturer still hasn’t fixed for both its newer model as well as the older models. Just get a middle of the road robot and do the rest of the cleaning on your own with a swiffer or handheld vacuum

“It depends” are okay when there’s a pros and cons list

You should email them to get a replacement. That sounds like a warranty issue

Thanks for sharing. Let me know what you think on the x40 ultra.
Glad I got the Dreame X40 Ultra! Great Video!
Yeah! I was actually pretty set on the roborock and then came across this video
How much it cost
@@Animelover12324 depends when you buy it on sale but MsRP is $1899
This is really good review and thanks for explaining all the differences between them.i can't believe they cost so much though
I have the 6 MaxV and it's good but roborock dose have some quirks after some time like not docking properly,
And with object detection like eating cables along the way,

Is he just going to ignore the fact that the X40 Ultra got stuck going to HOME @ 2:09 ????
He could have just put it there with his hand
I have roborock S8 Maxv ultra. Its awesome. Highly recommend. Dream doesnt auto mix detergent.
I’m glad I got the X40 Ultra! But I will say it takes longer to clean my apartment than Roborock products did

Why are you not mentioning the fact that the Dreame x40 does not dock at 2:09 ? (beside that: not docking dreames are a known problem)
This video is soooooo pro Dreame😂 navigation of dreame sucks and performance was okay …was there an update?
I use it every 2 days. Still hasn't failed a session.
@TheFrenchGlow except in your video at 2:10 the dreame failed to dock. You skipped over any comments about this, why?
Dreame hands down.
I wish they had parts more available.
Great video! Thanks for the review! Liked 😁

Theo bạn lau xoay và lau rung cơ chế nào lau nhà sạch hơn
12:58 you could always go in the app and turn on the feature where it leaves it mop at the clean Station and cleans the carpet
Thx - which one has LESS hair tangles stuck?
i don't want to manually clean hair!
Great thorough comparison! Can they work on long-pole carpets ? And will they be able to go over a 1 cm floor separators, I have one at the kitchen entrance that is made of different flooring .
This video is NOT sponsored by Dreame 😉
I am considering buying one of these. Could anyone suggest how easy it is to buy replacement parts should anything go wrong?😅
what do you think of roborock qrevo max V vs the dream? seems has the extend mop design

Does anyone have any data about the lifespan of one of these?
I feel like I'm going to buy one of these and 2 or 3 years later replace it.
Good question but neither have been out long enough to answer you yet.
@@TheFrenchGlow HA! DOH!
i still have my S7+, its still working perfectly.

Hi the dreame has a brush that cuts the hair. It works well compared to other systems as the main issue is tangles.
@@TheFrenchGlow And what do you think about RoboRock QREVO Curve? It has 300€ discount
Are these good for vacuuming and moping a whole old house hard floor with section of uneven floor tiles?
Yes

Isn't the Dreame going to leave your carpet/ rugs wet because it only goes up 10 mm?
Hi! I have ultra high pile rugs and carpets and it doesn't leave them wet. The dreame can vacuum first without the mop pads and then you can send it back to mop any non carpeted areas.
The station of the dreame is ugly as f*ck compared with the stylish Roborock, however the dreame does a slightly better job
2k!?!??! I’ll just stick to a regular mop lol
