The L20 Ultra is Dreame’s new flagship robot for 2023. It takes the functionalities of the L10S Ultra while bringing some new features, including a mop that it can move to the side to wash along the walls.
The L20 Ultra is capable of vacuuming all surfaces efficiently and, with a little time, it can also tackle stubborn stains. Its camera also allows it to avoid obstacles to explore every nook and cranny of the house, even if the new Dreame robot sometimes does a little too much, to the point of bypassing areas for nothing. So there is still a little work left, but the developments are going in the right direction, just like for the management of carpets with the abandonment of mops in the station. The latter also provides many other services, but does not exempt you from regularly checking the filter of the L20 Ultra, which remains a very good 2-in-1 robot.
Strong points
- Effective navigation system.
- Comfortable in crowded environments.
- Excellent suction performance.
- Automatic removal of glides to protect carpets from all hairs.
- All in all, effective washing by giving it time.
- Long battery life and fast charging.
Weak points
- Substantial bulk.
- Sometimes sees obstacles where none exist.
- Can miss areas to avoid collisions.
- Robot’s HEPA filter to be cleaned regularly.
- Automatic washing system… messy.
- Noisy robot.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
To compete with the best devices on the market, Dreame continues to offer increasingly autonomous robot vacuum cleaners. Thanks to its highly evolved base, the L10s Ultra effectively relieves the user of most maintenance tasks related to floor care. Its navigation system is more than satisfactory and it offers very good surface coverage. Its suction performance is also very good, but it could be even better by improving the side brush. Mops have the advantage of spacing out washing sessions but they do not (yet) replace a real floor scrubber. In a nutshell, even if the L10s Ultra shows that all-in-one robots still have a way to go, it nonetheless remains one of the best robot vacuum cleaners in our comparison.
