dreame X40 Ultra

So my wife and I did tons of research on robots and watched all the vacuum wars videos and tracked all the prices of our top 3 or 4 that we might want and when this went on sale along with basically all the others we were watching for $999 we finally decided to jump on it. Let me just tell you, this thing is awesome. The short version of this review is we've had this for about 2 weeks at this point, I left basically all the settings stock and just turned on some of the optional features like floor direction mopping and auto reclean so that if it says the water is too dirty it'll mop again until it's clean and then the optional camera where it'll take a picture of what caused it to have to skip an area or was blocked and that is an amazing feature. Highly recommend this vacuum, our floors literally feel slicker/smoother, I never would've thought that just from a mop but they do it does an amazing job. We've also got a Dyson V12 slim with the green laser that litteraly shows any little thing on the floor and we ran the Dyson around the floor like some crime detectives with a black light and all the lights off and we found like maybe one or two little things... It's incredible. Ok now for the rest of it. Weve got 2 dogs and while the auto empty station isn't quiet by any means none of it bothers our dogs. The first couple times it ran our smaller dog was a little suspicious but he got over it after that. I have yet to see my power bill after having this so I guess that's something I can't comment on with the whole hot air drying the mop pads but I'd rather pay a little extra for electricity than have some stanky musty mop pads that defeat the whole purpose of the self care base station. It does go through some water though I must say, but the water tanks are nice and large unlike almost every coffee maker that has a tank too small, this certainly has some big tanks. Easy to open and close/take out and put back in. I kind of love that the doors to access everything like the water tanks and bag and mopping detergent stuff are all kind of hidden haha it just looks so clean and elegant. I especially love that you don't "have to" buy their floor cleaning detergent, there's a plastic container that you fill with whatever you want and it'll automatically add it to the robots water when it refills it. However a bottle of their stuff did come inside the box which was nice to get started, it also came with 2 bags which should last quite a long time. Something worth mentioning is while I love a good box that has just enough clearance to let what's inside slowly slip out, when it comes to heavy awkward items like the base station I'd be ok if they could like not do that cause having to hold the base station while someone else pulls the box off was quite the effort. Other options would be advised haha lay it down and pull it out onto the floor but be careful not to scratch it. The app is also another area where we have had no problems at all, the app is very good, little clunky at times and on my android phone at least it doesn't respond well to the swiping back guesture. So I've clicked many buttons trying to swipe back to the previous screen and now I just use the on screen controls like the X or back arrow on whatever screen I'm on. I integrated the vacuum with our Google smart home system which worked flawlessly. It runs every night and mapped the whole floor in a matter of like 5 minutes the first time it ran and since then it's just gotten better and more efficient. It takes pictures like I said earlier of anything that we may have left on the floor or shoes or cables or whatever but it still does its best to clean as close to them as possible which it does a great job at. I did have to tape down one cable to our powered recliner so that it wouldnt keep pushing it across the floor but that was minor and it was only that one cable cause it wouldn't lay flat, it always has been rather bendy and stiff so I can't really fault the vacuum for that one but now that it's taped down it has no problems. All in all so far I can't complain about this thing, it does everything it says it does and even fits under most our furniture which is always a neglected area for us haha

I’ve been using the Dreame X40 Ultra for about a month, and it’s completely changed how I approach cleaning my home. As someone with a busy schedule and a shedding pet, I needed something powerful and efficient, and this robot has delivered in every scenario I’ve tested. One of my favorite features is its vacuuming power. I have a mix of hardwood floors and carpets, and the X40 Ultra handles both effortlessly. I tested it after a particularly messy breakfast with crumbs all over the kitchen, and it picked up everything in one pass. On carpets, it doesn’t just clean the surface—it digs out hidden pet hair that I didn’t even realize. The mopping system has been a pleasant surprise. I was skeptical at first, but after a coffee spill in my living room, the rotating mop pads completely removed the stain without me needing to do anything. I also appreciate how it lifts the mop pads when transitioning to carpets—I don’t have to worry about soggy rugs anymore. What really stands out is the self-cleaning base station. After a long day, the last thing I want to do is empty a dustbin or wash mop pads. The station handles everything—it empties the bin, washes the pads with hot water, and even dries them with hot air. It’s a lifesaver, especially after deep cleaning sessions. If I had to nitpick, the price is definitely on the higher side. However, considering how much time and effort it saves me, I think it’s worth it.

I'll say to begin with that I use this in a high-end garage that has tile floor. I got clean the floor each week, in a place where floors typically fairly dirty. Before cleaning, I use the leaf blower to clean debris as much as possible, then put the vacuum / mop to work. Issues I have: 1. The dust bin doesn't self-clean and gets full quickly -- I clean it after every vacuum. I thought it would self-empty the dust, but it does NOT do this. I believe most people will have to empty / clean the dust bin each time they run the vacuum. For reference, I have a different brand vacuum/mop for indoors, cleaning hair from two cats. The indoor unit captures more debris than the X40 does, so I don't think the floor it is cleaning is all that dirty. 2. The mop heads installation fails EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have it set to vacuum, then mop, and the thing errors out in the middle when it goes to install the mops. I have to do it manually. There is no "resume" function at this point, so I have to re-program the unit to mop with no vacuum -- having a "resume" would be better. All told, it takes 5-10 minutes to get the X40 to clean the floor, with half of that time 90 minutes after it stalls out (to manually install the mops). This is versus my expectation that it might be able to clean multiple times with no manual intervention -- not even close! Hence the 2-star rating. The floor ends up mostly clean, but a manual mop works better, and this is with the mop set to the wettest setting, and doing the deepest possible clean. So that is disappointing as well. If I had it to do over again, I'd either try another high-end mop/vacuum unit from another company, or just get a lower-end unit since the mop doesn't work that well. Would not buy this one again. EDIT: changing my review to 1-star. The app that I have stopped working, and without that the vacuum is useless to me. When I bring up the app, the screen comes up and is blank, I have not been able to fix this. There is no app update due, and if this is caused by Dreamhome servers being down, they have been down for 4+ hours. I'm going to try uninstalling & reinstalling the app. But for a $1200+ vacuum I should not have to be doing this!

We decided to replace our old robot vacuum from Eufy this year to upgrade and get a model that had mapping and mopping. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with this device! It’s attractive as far as robot vacuum and docks go, with nice bronze colored accents that make it seem better than just a hulking piece of plastic. From what I can tell, the quality of the build is terrific as everything I have opened or removed has always easily clicked satisfyingly back into place. The device itself is the same size and looks like just about every other robot vacuum that I’ve seen before except for the lidar sensor on the top. This sensor is great when it’s being used, but it sticks up and doesn’t flex, which makes it awkward to flip the vacuum upside down to replace the brush or side sweeper or stuff like that. I make a circle with a bath towel to hold around the edges and it works just fine. Mapping was shockingly accurate and nailed the layout of our home, with even about 90% accuracy on automatically naming those rooms as well. The mapping process was pretty quick and each time it runs in cleaning mode it will update the map with any changes that it detects. We were able to easily manually go and change a few things (change the autodetected flooring types from carpeted rooms to hardwood with rugs on the floor) but it was actually fun to do, so that was hardly a chore. We have moved the dock twice since buying it and it just figured it out, which was nice. I’m very impressed with the mopping overall - our dog door leads directly from the living room to the yard so on wet days we’re always complaining about dog prints constantly being present. Now, using a cleaning schedule set at 2:00 a.m. and only for a specific zone, I can wake up to clean floors everyday. For the whole house cleaning we have about 1000 sqft of wood that it mops when it runs and probably need to change the dirty water every other cycle when we’re using the built in “Clean Genius” mode that automatically decides everything (meaning, every other day if we mop every day). Clean water gets refilled after every session, but it’s probably not quite necessary. The device frequently returns to the dock throughout a normal whole-house cleaning session to rinse the mop pads and empty the dust bin, but the frequency of those returns is customizable within the well made app. The WiFi works well with the device. We use it with the Google Assistant speakers throughout our house which is convenient to pause and resume a cleaning if you need to make a call and don’t want the noise for a moment. Overall I’m very happy. I wish that it didn’t use disposable vacuum bags and instead had a large bin to empty, but there are plenty of cheap bags from off-brands that are easier to stomach than the full price ones from Dreame. The device also comes with a mopping solution that it slowly dispenses each time the mop is used, but I’ve also found that it cleans just fine with the ‘warm water’ setting when I’m looking for a quick clean that is ‘good enough’.

I've been using this vacuum cleaner for a while now, and I must say, the mopping function is the real highlight — it does a fantastic job of leaving the floors spotless and shiny, handling everyday spills and dirt with ease. When it comes to suction power, it's not bad by any means; it picks up everyday dust, crumbs, and debris from open areas without any issues, and you won't find any visible particles left behind on your floors. However, it does struggle a bit in really hidden and hard-to-reach spots like deep corners and tight edges, so a little more suction power would have made this a near-perfect machine. That said, considering the price range, this is a solid buy — you're getting reliable mopping, decent vacuuming, and good build quality without breaking the bank. If you're looking for an affordable vacuum cleaner with excellent mopping capabilities and good enough suction for regular everyday cleaning, I'd definitely recommend it — just don't expect it to hunt down every last particle hiding in the deepest corners. Overall, great value for money! 👍

I use this on the main level of my home. Over 800 sq ft of tile and 600 sq ft of carpet. I’m basing this review on how well it cleans. Honestly, my floors have never been this clean. And using a smart vacuum/mop like this one has me using floor robots again. I have now used the robot to clean the entire main level of the house at least 20 times. Previous robots have frequently gotten stuck on objects, cords, towels, socks, almost anything on the floor. And in all of the times I’ve used the X.40 it got stuck exactly once. In my experience this is exceptional. Also, and this is important, I had turned off collision avoidance which makes the X 40 more sensitive to obstacles but keeps it a little further away from walls, etc. I think if collision avoidance had been turned on it would not have ever become stuck. Why am I using robot vacuums again? I do not have to run around making sure there is absolutely nothing on the floor that a robot could get stuck on, but instead can just turn it loose and be confident that it will do the right thing. I do not come home and find that a robot got stuck early in the cleaning process and my floors are still dirty. The X 40 just does the right thing. For me this is a game changer. Literally. I tell it to clean, leave the house, and come back to clean floors. It’s awesome. If I leave the house and forget to tell it to clean, I can use the app on my cell phone from anywhere to control it. Also great. For the combination of floors I have described I set the very customizable mop wetness to almost maximum and tell it to clean the mops every 10 minutes. (it washes them! It doesn’t just spread dirty water around the floor when mopping!) With these settings it is able to complete the cleaning without refilling the water or emptying the dirty water. Another thing I very much like about this vacuum/mop is that my carpets never get wet or damp. You can configure the robot to drop the mops at the base station before it cleans carpet! Previous robots, although they lift the mops, have still dampened some of the thicker area rugs. In fact, the ability to drop the mops before cleaning carpet is one of the reasons I bought the X 40 instead of other well reviewed robots. The “clean genius“ setting does a good job. I have also set up Shortcuts that allow me to specify exactly what settings to use on a per room basis. If the kitchen floor is particularly messy after complex cooking, I use a shortcut to do repeated intensive cleaning. Previous robots have been a nuisance in that they took a lot of maintenance between cleanings: wash the pads, empty the vacuum bin, clean the brushes. Another game changer: the X40 returns to the base at a customizable frequency, where it empties the vacuum bin, automatically discharges the dirty water, refills the clean water, and actually washes the mop pads. With no intervention from me! Instead of depending on me to intervene and empty the vacuum bin and wash the pads, the vacuum takes care of everything. It even washes the base station! My chores? No vacuuming. No mopping. If the floors are bad I just tell the robot to clean two or three times. All I have to do? Tap out the filter to clear out the fine dust and dust bunnies. (You can also wash the filter and let it dry). Empty the dirty water and clean the dirty water tank by spraying it with my kitchen sink sprayer. Refill the clean water tank. Put the tanks back in the base and walk away. The entire routine takes less than 10 minutes, and aside from handling the water tanks, which takes three or four minutes, I only do the full routine every three or four cleanings. Also, the brush roller is very easy to service. The end caps remove and any string or hair that is wrapped around the axle can just be pulled off. Much easier than my previous robot which was very much a nuisance to detangle. The software is extensively customizable. The one thing I will say about the software is that although I have been able to customize the behavior of the robot to a great degree, the software is sometimes not easy to use. The options are there, but the language used is sometimes confusing and options can be difficult to find and interpret. I trust this is a work in progress. Despite the use of the software occasionally being difficult to figure out, for me this is well compensated by the very extensive customizability. All in all, I love having clean floors. I very much appreciate the independence of this robot, it’s ability to take care of itself; the tiny amount of time it requires from me; the extensive customizability; the ability to remotely control the robot; the locator function (makes it beep); and the onboard camera that tells me where things are. I like the X40 so much that I bought the very similar but less expensive X 30 for my downstairs. I also bought an X 30 for my college daughter, who also loves her clean floors. She also loves that her cats are not afraid of it. Her previous robot vacuum was not usable after she got cats. To navigate it just bumped off of things and I think the random movement frightened the cats. It was unpredictable. The X 40 and X 30 map the rooms and go back-and-forth in rows and columns very predictably and very efficiently. The cats are fine with it Also, if a cat comes over and is curious and stands in front of it the vacuum turns away and avoids the pet. It’s very pet friendly. All of the positives have completely overwhelmed the minor complaints I have about the sometimes difficult software. I should also note that just right out of the box I used the clean genius setting and the robot did a very very good job. Unless you are a tinkerer like me I think the automatic settings are much more than adequate. Lots of praise and very very few complaints. I don’t think I realized how much I like this vacuum/mop until I started writing this review, which I had intended to be very brief. I forgot to mention the very responsive customer support!

Had our DreameX40 Ultra for a month and are very pleased with this unit. Does a great job picking up the hair and debris from six dogs. Has cut way down on my need for vacuuming. Also does a good job on mopping the floors. Easy to program and set up navigation.

Right off the bat, I had to return the first robot we got because it would randomly drop its right mop pad while mopping. The two-star review mostly reflects that because it's a huge hassle to have to return something, wait for the refund, and then buy it again. That said, I do plan on re-buying because I think (assuming the next one works right) it's a really great system for the money. The app is pretty good to use (if you can deal with a few rough Chinese -> English translations) and there are great customization options. The robot itself does a fantastic job of avoiding furniture and cleaning up. After mopping the dirty tank was always pretty gross which to me is a sign it was cleaning up well. The base station is nice looking and easy to maintain, with fairly large water tanks for multiple mopping runs. I did contact Dreame support and they were fairly responsive. They suggested a few things to try to fix the mop issue at home, but since they didn't work support suggested we use the Amazon return system (which I did) for a quicker turnaround time. I'll try to update this review once we get the new bot.

Produto importado não funciona no Brasil e exigem devolução que eu faça e pague pelo grete para os EUA O produto funcionou apenas no primeiro dia. Após isso, passou a apresentar erro 404, não baixa o idioma português e não responde a nenhum comando pelo aplicativo, tornando-se completamente inutilizável. Após diversos testes (reset, reinstalação do aplicativo, troca de rede), ficou evidente que o problema não é técnico, mas sim bloqueio por região, ou seja, o produto não é compatível com o Brasil. Entrei em contato com a Amazon e a única solução apresentada foi a devolução do produto para os Estados Unidos. Porém, essa exigência é totalmente inviável: - O custo de frete é extremamente alto - Os Correios da minha cidade não realizam esse tipo de envio - A transportadora mais próxima que faz envio internacional está a 200 km de distância Mesmo assim, a empresa quer que eu arque com essa devolução, sendo que o problema foi causado pela venda de um produto incompatível com o país. Foi oferecida a possibilidade de vale-presente, o que não aceito. Preciso do reembolso integral do valor pago para adquirir outro produto que funcione corretamente. Ressalto que: - O produto não funciona - Está bloqueado para uso no Brasil - Não houve suporte adequado - A devolução exigida é inviável ao consumidor Solicito reembolso integral sem custos adicionais. Caso não haja solução, registrarei reclamação junto ao PROCON e tomarei as medidas legais cabíveis , estou muito aborrecida pois é um produto que tanto sonhei em comprar e agora estou sem o robô e sem meu dinheiro para poder comprar outro . Aguardo retorno urgente.
