Yet another awesome detailed review. Thanks for the insight. I love watching robot vacuum reviews and it's crazy how fast the technology is evolving. Would love to get the robot-friendly mat! Keep up the great work! 😊
Nice video, thanks. I have the Dreame X40 Master (the X40 Ultra but with a low profile fully plumbed in dock). I’m really glad you awarded marks for the ability to plumb in the dock because that really does take the convenience, the ability to set up a schedule and then ignore it for weeks on end, up to the next level. Another thing I also value with my X40 is the ability to leave the mop pads at the dock. I know you said at the start that pretty much every robot can lift its moping pads now but not all lifts are equal, some only lift maybe 7mm vs others 10mm or more and if you have lots of carpets and rugs that can make a difference between scraping the top of a thick rug or carpet. That’s why for me not having the pads on at all when my X40 is vacuuming is a whole extra level of reassurance vs simply lifting the pads.
ROBOT FRIENDLY FLOORMAT im your top fan bro! turned my house to a fully aqara house. now im still in a dilemma for the robot vacuum. hope miracles happen here hehe
Your reviews are always so informative. I love how you cover all aspects from performance to price. Joining in the fun for the robot friendly floor mat giveaway!
Going to get my own home and likely my 1st ever robo vacuum next year, gonna bookmark this and follow for more robo reviews when I'm ready to buy! Robot Friendly Floormat!
Excellent, We live in two countries and have very different homes and have had 12 robots over time. iRobots the worst. Now have mostly Ecovacs and one Roborock. Many levels of houses with different flooring. One house mainly high end wood and upstairs wall to wall. Other house some floors wall to wall, rugs and one level high end laminate flooring. What is your top recommendation for carpets (good quality med pile). Was looking as the new Ecovac as 11,000psi. Unfortunately cannot carry vacs from floor to floor..just not possible. Seems the new Eufy will be great for hardwood floors? Actually most fof our floors are combo carpet & wood/highend laminate. two main floors are only wood or high end laminate. No shoes in either home but need to vacuum every day to keep nice, especially carpet.
Wow, thank you so much, Alex! I just got the Dreame X30 Master, and it connects right to the water pipe-perfect for lazy folks like me! 😂 I couldn’t resist after watching your awesome video! Can't wait to try it out!! 😁🥳
@@AlexTeoWoohoo!! I’m glad I’ve been following you and caught all your videos! Thanks to your advice, I snagged it on 11.11! 🎉 Cheers to that! Keep those amazing videos coming! I It not only saves us precious time and resources but also offers an incredible product that elevates our experience! 💯🥳😁
This is a good format for reviews. Do you have a review of robot vacuums that don't have the mop and tower as a main feature? For houses that need vacuum most not mopping still looking for good navigation and usability
This review would have been most excellent before 11-11! I was debating between the Dreame and Curv, but eventually got the latter. I like that I can remove the entire cleaning tray from the Curv, and anti-hair entanglement design; plus I can't pipe/ drain directly.
I like the d shape design on ecovac as well but iRobot did that with their S9 and it had the same issue with moving chairs around and getting stuck in areas because of the shape that round robots don't have as much of an issue with. But with the extending side brush on my x40, a round robot and corners is no longer a problem.
@@AlexTeo the dreame x40, very suitable for us as a young couple. thanks again for your recommendation! your videos have been a great help to set up our new home.
I got long hairs, should I go for Omini x5 pro? Please reply..You mentioned mapping issue and bugs all that stuff then how can you recommend to families when they will be strugglling with this issue.
Nice review, some things overlooked that I find important. Base station dirty bag size, Db sound level when in use and when base station is active. I’m stuck between the S1 and the X40.
Robot friendly floormat! Your channel is super relevant for new homeowners like me (esp. on the Wifi bit as I feel not alot of local channels cover such objective test measurements). Though I'm still torn between the Dreame X40 and Roborock Saros 10R, both seems to be highly raved by alot of reviews!
@@AlexTeo 1 question - can you confirm that Saros 10R is unable to hook up to the water pipe for auto dispensing of the water tank? and X40 is able that I am aware.
Thank u Alex for the comprehensive trials for each machine. May I enquire if you will be running a test for head-on trial between Dreame X40 Pro Ultra verse Eufy Omni S1 Pro pls? I am torn between this two machines, while i am also concern with the replacement of the “mop roller” of the latter as there is no local agent in SG for after sale support. Both machines are neck on neck, with some unique of it’s own to edge out against one another.
accessories can easily buy from overseas its fine, it more of overall overall support for something that is quite expensive, I generally won't recommend
Hi Alex, thanks so much for your videos. I'm looking to buy my first Robot vacuum. Which one do you truly recommend based on application usage and it's capabilities.
Excellent review, Alex. So, I guess I’ll go for the Roborock Qrevo Curv. Some questions: 1) How do you prevent it from entering certain areas? By the way, I’ve been using an iRobot for many years. The virtual wall is frustrating as it’s often not working. The robot drops into the balcony and kitchen and is unable to climb back out 😣 2) Between the Roborock and Eufy, which is better? (Referring to the models in this video) 3) I think I missed the Black Friday sale 😣. Where can I get the best deal if not directly from Roborock? Thank so much, and have a great weekend! [ROBOT FRIENDLY FLOORMAT]
1. the roborock curv is able to climb a 4cm curb, else you can always set no-go zones or virtual wall on the app 2. q revo curb is overall better, eufy s1 does standout in couple of areas like obstacle detection and mop cleaning performance 3. either wait for 12.12 sale or xmas sale cheers!
Good review! I just bought a Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra with Refill & Drainage System for this very reason, it was on sale for $1200. I was very tempted by the Dreame X40 but with the fill/drain kit it was more expensive and the Roborock reliability won out! Plus I prefer the look and low profile base unit with the Roborock. I was also tempted by the new roller models like the Eufy S1 Pro and the 3I S10. They all seem to have different pros and cons, with unlimited drain/fill capability I figure I can just set it to clean the pads every 5-10 minutes. This way it mop with clean pads adn with the dirt detection it should mop clean as good or better than the roller models and clean up to floor edges so... I am wondering about object avoidance, it is odd, I have watched multiple testing of all these units. And in some they seem to operate flawlessly and in others not so much, and that includes the Eufy. These robot floor cleaners seem to be improving at an exponential rate, I can't imagine how good they will be in another 2-3 years!
Over the years I have had 2 Ecovacs (Omni X1 and T9) and 2 Roborock S7 Max V, I totally hate Ecovacs products, the app is so buggy and both robots have issue with water not dispensing. Have no problems whatsoever from Roborock. I will stick to that, but just like you I am confused with RR so many offerings/line up now. Would you say the dual mops (Qrevo) is better than the vibrating single mop (S8 model).. Thanks
@@mdot9744 100% spinning mops better than vibrating cloth.. the S8 has been around for a pretty long time with no new models while they introduce q Revo line with a bunch of models.. I feel that this itself says a lot of what they think about the S8 series
Robot friendly floormat Thank you for sharing!! Can you advise if we can only use the specific detergent for robot vacuum or can use our own detergent?
When the x40 stops and backs up, what it's doing is taking a picture of the object before navigating around it. This is a normal function of the robot.
Robot Friendly Floormat.. I currently have a irobot roomba j7 and braava jet. thinking of upgrading to one of the 4 but still unsure which one to use. I have a household with pet, marble and wood flooring and not so busy. Kinda leaning towards Dreame X40 Pro Ultra or the eufy one you mentioned but still a bit confused. any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I am in uk, have miniature poodle, and my son is 11 years old , I am long hair. I am considering Ecovacs X5 pro or Dreame X40 Ultra ( not pro ) Would you please advise me which one? I really like Dreame can self clean the tray, but ecovacs cannot, but ecovacs 12800 pa more than dreame I am still struggling Please advise me😅
Hi Mr. Teo. After watching your "My TOP 3 Robot Vacuums Worth Buying" for 2023. I was already sold to the channel, subscribed immediately lol. Thank you for such an honest review. I have a question about Dreame and now Ecovacs machines. do they have a powerful exhaust pump to drain the water just like a washing machine? my drain line is running at a higher level from the ground. if that is the case it means I could connect the washer and the vacuum cleaner drain pipe to together and that could be a complete win for me.
wow thanks for the support and sub. For your question, it's better for them to provide you with official support, they have their guidelines on how to setup the drainage system
Hi Alex great video! For the eufy s1 pro, since we are shipping from US, is there a warranty? And is there a way to service in Singapore if it happens? I also tried to put in in cart to buy but don’t seem to see the discount
@@AlexTeo Thanks for the reply Alex. Does amazon warranty means that we have to send it back to amazon for servicing? The $500 discount dont seem to apply for shipment to singapore? Is there a none US version that doesn’t require a power transformer?
Robot friendly floormat Thanks for informative review! The back walking of the dreame x40 when it meets objectives looks quite a lot in comparison to other model. Do you think it can be better by software update?
@@whennn far from double haa, but anyway pascal number is not something that you need to care a lot. It's like your phone camera megapixel, it's a number that does not mean a whole lot of things anymore
I absolutely hate cleaning hair from my Dyson. I have not used any robot vacuum extensively. I know the x40 has the one with hair cutting roller, but does the conventional one get ladies hair stuck? I don’t have pets. If it gets stuck easily, then maybe my only option is to get the Dreams with cutter roller or the Roborock?
@@lchang123hair does get trapped at the end of the roller, but it’s much easier to clean compared to my Dyson. I can pull out the part and hair just falls out without me needing to use a knife to slowly cut it out. I may just ship the separate cutter roller.
Yay new video! Thanks as always for the review and your insights! What's the differences between dreame x40 pro ultra vs the l40 ultra? Is it just the brush? L40 can swap for tricut brush but x40 using dual brush and cannot swap?
Great review of the robot vacuums overall, but if you can suggest a budget friendly robot vacuum for us will be best 😅. Additional request, I know this question is not related but I just want to catch your attention. I'm in the midst of doing renovation (SG), then I noticed smart switches are not suppose to connect to control DC ceiling fan (quite common these days). Any way to overcome this? I know we can just use smart ceiling fan, but kdk smart fan has plenty of complaints. Is it possible to connect smart switches to on/off ceiling fan? I do not need speed control (most have last used setting saved), just on and off will do. Came across local brand 'outsmart' switches which claimed to be able to connect DC ceiling fan (2-3 gang switches only), but capacitor is needed to add to the 1st switch lighting. Do u mind to cover this for your audience?
so far my budget pick is either go with 2nd hand or the xiaomi x20+ i have been using my aqara switches with DC fans for 5 years already, as long as the power rating is within range i don't see why it won't work. My next video is on smart fans though haa
@@AlexTeo I have been surverying smartrul or moes (tuya brand as recommended by you), most of their description said it won't work, or won't last. That's why I'm also wondering, it's just on/off, not anything fancy. Also, the brand outsmart also specifically said theirs works with DC fan. I think this can be a topic to aware ordinary people. Meanwhile, apparently those switch without neutral connection must be connected to 10w lighting and above, otherwise flickering issues might appear. This is also something I didn't know even after watching all your videos. 😅
2 Questions. (1) How is the performance for carpets, I'm anticipating my house to have a fair bit of them. And (2) why Eufy doesn't have a SG store and we have to buy it on Amazon 😂. Lastly, Robot friendly floormat!
Hi Alex, could you review the airbot x40 ultra? I have seen it many times during my online scrolling and wondered if the robot vacuum was considerably good at a low price.
I went with the Qrevo because I have two pets, but it's navigation has me worried. I'll give it a try, and if it's not up to par with it's price it's going straight back.
@@LokiDaFerret yup i understand where you are coming from, but that will be looking at each of these company's entire product line to talk about which model has which feature

thanks for sharing. I classify docking mop pads as the same as the setting to vacuum carpet first, same objective same end result
Hello please mention that the eufy does not have a water sensor in the robot so it ends up mopping dry until it goes back to the station

@@lchang123hair does get trapped at the end of the roller, but it’s much easier to clean compared to my Dyson. I can pull out the part and hair just falls out without me needing to use a knife to slowly cut it out. I may just ship the separate cutter roller.
Yay new video! Thanks as always for the review and your insights! What's the differences between dreame x40 pro ultra vs the l40 ultra? Is it just the brush? L40 can swap for tricut brush but x40 using dual brush and cannot swap?
and the retractable lidar sensor in terms of features, X40 ultra can use tricut bursh but not the pro model
Could we have a review on the Philips XU9100/10 and the Narwal Freo Z please?
Will consider!
Great review. Maybe can consider Home Assistant integration capabilities next time.
@@waterbubbler44 that's a super minority group of people, anyway only dreame app don't integrate to HA
Love this video❤
Great review of the robot vacuums overall, but if you can suggest a budget friendly robot vacuum for us will be best 😅.
Additional request, I know this question is not related but I just want to catch your attention. I'm in the midst of doing renovation (SG), then I noticed smart switches are not suppose to connect to control DC ceiling fan (quite common these days). Any way to overcome this? I know we can just use smart ceiling fan, but kdk smart fan has plenty of complaints. Is it possible to connect smart switches to on/off ceiling fan? I do not need speed control (most have last used setting saved), just on and off will do.
Came across local brand 'outsmart' switches which claimed to be able to connect DC ceiling fan (2-3 gang switches only), but capacitor is needed to add to the 1st switch lighting. Do u mind to cover this for your audience?
so far my budget pick is either go with 2nd hand or the xiaomi x20+
i have been using my aqara switches with DC fans for 5 years already, as long as the power rating is within range i don't see why it won't work. My next video is on smart fans though haa
@@AlexTeo I have been surverying smartrul or moes (tuya brand as recommended by you), most of their description said it won't work, or won't last. That's why I'm also wondering, it's just on/off, not anything fancy. Also, the brand outsmart also specifically said theirs works with DC fan. I think this can be a topic to aware ordinary people.
Meanwhile, apparently those switch without neutral connection must be connected to 10w lighting and above, otherwise flickering issues might appear. This is also something I didn't know even after watching all your videos. 😅
Robot friendly floormat. Please share link for floormat purchase! Thank you!

Any update on the eufy S1?
stopped testing it, eufy develops good products, but can't say the same for the rest of their business function
2 Questions. (1) How is the performance for carpets, I'm anticipating my house to have a fair bit of them. And (2) why Eufy doesn't have a SG store and we have to buy it on Amazon 😂. Lastly, Robot friendly floormat!
@@bane1009 for high pile carpets all robots are not good enough actually. I also don't know why eufy/Anker is not interested in the sg market
Hi Alex, could you review the airbot x40 ultra? I have seen it many times during my online scrolling and wondered if the robot vacuum was considerably good at a low price.
i would rather go with the xiaomi x20+ which is cheaper
Robot Friendly Floormat!
I went with the Qrevo because I have two pets, but it's navigation has me worried. I'll give it a try, and if it's not up to par with it's price it's going straight back.
hope things turn out well!
@@AlexTeo LOL, it had to go back. It's dust bin would fill up, and it wouldn't self empty. So it would just go over easy stuff.
Robot friendly floor mat!
Which is a better choice? Xiaomi X20+ or Roborock Qrevo?
@@marxedes I am about to test the Xiaomi x20+ soon... My early guess is x20+
@ looking forward to that review 👍🏽
try N30-T3- Ecovacs Pro Omni - both cheapear and have functions of TOP

How abt narwal freo z ultra?
@@tracychua4367 I'm curious to test it out too, got quite good reviews in the west
Lol cant believe im early. I got dreame 30 (which im kinda happy w it), though now thinking if shld change to eufy for future. Robot friendly floormat
@@linpingchow eufy not officially distributed in sg, have to risk with no warranty coverage 😞
how about xiaomi x20+, its worth?
@@mwantanmu4524 it's a good budget option
@ thanks
New sub. Good review. I am waiting on X40 Pro or X50 to be released in Europe. I want a robot that can get under 11 CM. Greetings from Iceland.
wow all the way from iceland! should be released in europe soon, apac is usually ahead for all these new robot vacuum release
At this rate, just wait a few months and they have new features again.
Thn after a few months u gonna say u will wait for next launch, forever don't need to buy Liao 😅😂
Roborock does make a model which we can be connected directly to a water supply.
not for this q revo curv right?
@AlexTeo nope. Not the curve. The S8 max Ultra would be the one.
@@LokiDaFerret yup comparing models here, not company. Saros 10R aka G20S ultra also has model that can hookup to water pipes
@@AlexTeoI know. It would have been nice had he mentioned that when he mentioned which models have a water inlet
@@LokiDaFerret yup i understand where you are coming from, but that will be looking at each of these company's entire product line to talk about which model has which feature
Robot Friendly Floor Mat!!!
ROBOT FRIENDLY FLOORMAT!

Thanks for the review Alex. Decided to go with Dreame x40 pro ultra!
Nice!
