At first glance, the Dreame R20 stick vacuum cleaner seems very classic. Under a very simple appearance, it nevertheless hides numerous technologies to make cleaning easier, such as multicyclonic filtration and a particle counter.
As long as you take the time to choose the suction head corresponding to the surface to be vacuumed, the Dreame R20 fulfills its mission efficiently. In addition, thanks to the high-performance multicyclonic filtration, maintaining the device is child’s play. Certainly, we would have appreciated a boost mode perhaps a little more enduring or an estimate of the remaining autonomy in minutes and seconds rather than in percentage, but this does not at all detract from the excellent impression left by this R20 very successful.
Strong points
- Good suction performance.
- Continuous or fractional suction, your choice.
- Very durable in auto mode.
- Perfect multicyclonic filtration.
- The very clever articulated mini-tube.
Weak points
- Be careful to choose the right head for the surface.
- The stiff brush tends to push debris backwards.
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
By relying on now well-known technologies, Kärcher ensures that its stick vacuum cleaner VC6 does not suffer from any major design defects. Certainly, the remaining autonomy indicator is reduced to its simplest expression and certain competing stick vacuum cleaners are more attractive thanks to their additional features or a more extensive set of accessories. The VC6 still benefits from some welcome additions (the suction mode selector, in particular), but it is above all its effectiveness on all types of floors which largely argues in its favor.
