[@lordblanc1337]

how is the dreame lidar drift on maps my maps become very crocked and distorted with time..

[@Tank_66]

you should take a look at the new iRobot essential with self-empty have seen if on sale

[@MartinLambchopsLam]

Can you please do the Roomba Essential?

[@ariesrogue5536]

I have this vacuum and it is honestly the best ive ever had. It's insane how well this cleans my floors. Love it so so much

[@VacuumWars]

Glad to hear it!

[@incoog]

Wonder if the tricut brush score as high as the standard brush on the vacuum tests

[@LaszloBagi]

The tricut brush is a game changer..... we have two goldens and it works great

[@Tigrha]

saw one test and it performed a bit worse in general as it has brushes only on two places but much better with hairs

[@incoog]

@@LaszloBagi if it's superior then it should've come with that brush out of the box, I'm guessing the reason why it isn't is because it's a lot worse for regular vacuuming and would score less on tests like these.

[@LaszloBagi]

@@incoog Mine came with the Tricut brush, mine actually came with two brushes, the regular and cut brush

[@MegaShapin]

Tricut brush is good, but not perfect, mine still have some hairs stuck on it. But compared to old one it’s miles ahead.

[@developerfilip]

I have a important question. Considering its Black Friday now - the X40 is being sold for £949, and the L40 for £819. Would you still recommend purchasing the L40 with that in mind?

[@GITSSAC]

Did you find an answer to this question?

[@waiwaiwai617]

I have the same question

[@developerfilip]

@@GITSSAC I got the L40 - it's almost the same as X40, I've tested it, does an amazing job, highly recommend

[@Shaneb1990]

Does the retractable brush stop working when it’s on carpet?

[@razorseal]

@@Shaneb1990 It does.

[@sbomorse]

How does it mop so much better when it's the same as the X40!?

[@nsbd90now]

Robot vacuums are one of the best things ever, and this channel is too!

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks so much!

[@gnusnomis]

Love your videos! How was the obstacle avoidance different between L40 and X40? Does it avoid thin phone charging cords? Small toys?

[@Bretde1]

I upgraded my crappy iRobot a couple of months ago to a D10 Gen 2. It's not a high end Dreame by any means, but wow...What a great robot for the money. For sure will stay with Dreame if I upgrade again in the future

[@marcotrotta5169]

Narwal Freo Z Ultra please!!!

[@kenibarwick]

Came here for that comment

[@prizwks5962]

Same, been waiting for the review since its release

[@VacuumWars]

Our full review of the Narwal Freo Z Ultra is up now at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amXXdoltgptohck

[@Thorarin]

Any explanation for the mopping results varying so widely from the X40? It's an anomaly given that they seem to work exactly the same.

[@DanicaDaniel-f9h]

SUPER IMPORTANT: I just bought this for BLACK FRIDAY on the Dreame website and the TRICUT BRUSH is now INCLUDED in the package. You DO NOT need to BUY IT SEPARATELY. I am super excited. I can't wait to get it.

[@VacuumWars]

That is great news! We hope you enjoy it!

[@bond85007]

@vacuumwars my x40 has the exact same issue with the noise during the mop pad clean. It’s the gray discs the pads Velcro to. Replacement fixed it but two months later and it’s back.

[@VacuumWars]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@michaelbitter7682]

@vacuumwars When you update the tests will you please update the vacuum list and the vacuum/mop list? Trying to pick between the QRevo Curv and Dreame L40. Thanks!

[@nowyoutalktome8895]

Same here but leaning towards dreame because of the detergent dispensing

[@VacuumWars]

Everything is updated now. Thank you for asking!

[@michaelbitter7682]

​@VacuumWars just FYI qrevo master is still listed as number one on vacuum mop combo list.

[@dp7808]

I cant process how a machine with lowered specs could perfprm better than its identical brother unit. Did you re-test the x40? Maybe software updates made the difference? Or am i not understanding something?

[@dollyshirey5024]

I was thinking the same thing. I was going to purchase the x4” based on specs but now I’m hesitant.

[@MingZai]

can the app be accessed on 2 different phones? e.g can either the husband and wife access it when the other is not around? or only 1 person can use it?

[@Therame86]

Right now the Dreame L40 ultra, Qrevo Slim and the Qrevo Master are about $1000 with a couple…. Which one do you recommend?

[@StrelokGames]

Thanks! Deciding between this one and the QRevo Slim so I'm eagerly waiting for you to review this one as well!

[@VacuumWars]

We expect to have that review soon!

[@di0gUh]

When a comparison with the q revo curve?

[@Tigrha]

i was thinking about getting L40 but then L20 went on "black friday" sale here and was for about 600$ so i took the older one so far quite happy with the purchase

[@LaszloBagi]

I got the L40 on sale a month ago for $899, pre black Friday sale.

[@Denquu]

Love to see more hard numbers in the reviews!

[@sdcoinshooter]

In you opinion, do the rotating circular brushes do a better job then the vibrating?

[@mrmurdock6994]

Is it better than Roborock qRevo Master? Could you tell us what makes it better? Thanks.

[@Philosophey]

Thanks for the review! Could you add carpet deep cleaning score with the tricut brush please?

[@MrCiaociao94]

Are you going to try Eureka j15 pro ultra? Seems preatty interesting!

[@T10107]

When is the 3i S10 Ultra review coming? I’m curious to see that against the Eufy Omni S1 Pro

[@Jbpennes]

Hmmm the Qrevo Curv got better results for hair tangle on carpet so what you're saying at 6:16 seems wrong.

[@vespineyt]

What is the difference between the X series and L series? Love the videos btw!! The price is such a big gap for only suction and hot water!

[@GITSSAC]

X40 is a $100 less than l40 in Canada

[@Tech-heartsong]

Thanks, I just bought this one yesterday with the roller upgrade separately. Long pet hair and cleaning well in corners and along baseboards was very important. The Eufy S1 Pro was something I considered, but since I own the Tineco S6 floor washer, what I really needed help with was pet hair with a robot vac for that problem. Maybe someday I'll retire the Tineco and get a Eufy S1 Pro to supplement floor washing after the Dreame L40 does its rounds. In the spring we have a lot of tree pollen that gets indoors with windows open.

[@pontuslundgren2038]

Would you guys say the x40 is a better buy if it's on sale? Over here the x40 is currently around 200$ cheaper than the L40

[@GITSSAC]

Did you find an answer to this question?

[@pontuslundgren2038]

Unfortunately not, but went with the x40 and seems good so far 🙂​@@GITSSAC

[@rsnhakan]

How can you rate the L40 so high? I returned 5 units! 1. Had very very bad obstacle avoidance and did get damaged very very badly after 1 day of usage 2. Dropped water while mopping and wheels made ticking noise when turning 3. Camera was loose so you could put your finger in the camera hole 4. Same behaviour as unit 1 5. Same behaviour as unit 1 and 4 + the same noise as you experienced with the automatic cleaning board: it needs indeed some oil or something. I returned all units and bought the X40 now with Amazon prime deals. Hope this one is better… Black sofa legs or any black leg is an issue for the L40. Also scraping baseboards while turning etc… that hurts the eye and ear… The L40 has one laser instead of two. Dreame says they are working on this. Maybe you also redo the test for the X40. Firmware updates do bring sometimes some changes, like you exeperienced with another brand.

[@LaszloBagi]

You must have had bad units, mine is awesome

[@rsnhakan]

@ really? Can’t believe to be honest. I bought the X40 today and that one has also been returned already. The engine was sounding like a diesel engine and the roller was scraping the ground. My believe in Dreame is gone…. And I don’t know which other brand has similair feautures…

[@LaszloBagi]

@@rsnhakan Lol, Mine does not make any noise like that. Where did you buy it?

[@rsnhakan]

@@LaszloBagi in Germany and The Netherlands, like Mediamarkt and Amazon

[@LaszloBagi]

@@rsnhakan I bought mine from Dreame in Los Angles

[@dollyshirey5024]

The specs on the website say that the x40 is overall a better machine. I was going to buy the x40 based on that and other reviews but not I’m not sure after watching this video. Which one would you get? X40 or L40?

[@olympianzeus]

Once again a very good and extensive analysis. The only think I found missing is the carpet shape. There are round and oval carpets on the houses not only rectangular and all off the robot’s have problems with that. The robot mast follow the line of the carpet to vac and mop but instead it stays half on and half off the carpet. This a software update for all brands put more shapes of carpets and follow the edge line for vac and mop. And you should test this , what douroucouli think ?

[@jamestan6310]

Can you review the xiaomi x20 max? It is the cheapest robot vc with hot air drying and washing i think

[@SystemShock89]

Could you review Qrevo Pro and Qrevo Plus?

[@kocho5612]

The vacuum is great but anyone know if you can buy replacement battery for this brand of vacuum ?

[@joaocorreia4155]

What about side brush Hair Tangle? Mine Roborock S7+ tangles a lot on the side brush as well

[@DawnJiang-kd6me]

Will you make a video about the top tier robot vacuums at the end of the year. Also they will be launching the dreame x50 starting in 2025.

[@Vacuumexpert]

IT looks so stylish in white but much better in the background that you have

[@pribed]

Could you review the Shark - Robot Vacuum & Mop PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro

[@Adz-L12]

Is the performance impacted when the base station is placed in between furniture or tight areas. Does it create issues with the maps and the ability for it to return to the station?

[@misamee75]

I have an L20. The dock is a nightmare to clean. Not sure if the new system can do a better job. Also, the more I use it, the more it has troubles going back to the dock. No matter how often I clean the sensors and contacts. Since Dreame seem to sell almost 1:1 copies of the latest Roborock models (which is what I had before switching to the L20), I'll probably go for that for my next upgrade.

[@Usamakhalil86]

Anyone can answer here if L40 has improved dock cleaning ..

[@Bearydoll]

Can you take a look and review the newest dreame E30 ultra? I see it available to purchase in costco but no info on the dreame website. Curious to see how it performs

[@schwangtv7448]

How did it do so much better on the mopping then the x40 ultra?? that doesn't make sense as it's the same exact mechanism I think. VacuumWars is the only one I've seen that says the mopping is so bad on the x40 ultra...

[@JackosXDA]

Agreed. This makes no sense.

[@Tigrha]

if i recall it correctly it was deemed as possible fw issue and they wrote that they might repeat the test on newer version but it probably never happened with new machines going out almost each week

[@TheDonlimck]

Please do a video on Dreme X40 Pro Ultra With the new retractable lidar sensor

[@Tigrha]

is it worth as its for now and probaly forever just for china market?

[@Unfounduser09]

Hello, are there a list of recommended robots without integrated camera? I´m a bit conserned about privacy and I would not feel comfortable with a camera installed on the robot since it would feel like I would be watched anytime, my parents got the ecovacs deebot t30 and it doesnt have camera and seem to do pretty decent, however there was some challanges with avoiding cables on the floor

[@scrampker]

Perhaps I'm overlooking something, but is it the case that almost none of these new mopvacs have the ability to hook directly to the water and sewer mains? I'm not afraid to modify myself, but it's almost always better if it's OEM.

[@przemek2573]

Dreame allows to buy an extension to just do that. There is also for example dreame x40 master which requires you to connect it to water/sewer

[@tjhf96]

My friend owns an L40 I convinced her to get since her and I were roommates and she loved my X40 Ultra I got! Hers doesn’t make that noise when cleaning the mops! So it must just be your unit.

[@Victor-th8tb]

Hello. I have 1600 sqft . no carpet. What do you recommend? L 40 or X 40 ??

Could you test the Mova e30 ultra please? It appears to be an offshoot, lower budget variant from a Dreame subsidiary, with similar design and features of the top Dreame modells at half the cost.

[@Greetcha]

Could you test : - how long does it dry the mop ? And what are the decibel when doing it ? Living and working in a small flat it could be a game changer or hell depending on that

[@LaszloBagi]

2-3 hours for the pads to dry

[@summer.thaole]

[@manoschristodoulakis9582]

Does this robot has the same issue with the side brush not working on carpets? I read a lot of discussion avout the Dreame x40 ultra and it seems that this model cannot leverage its sidebruah when it detects a carpet on the floor. Is it the same for L40 Ultra?

[@jinli801]

Can you do a video on what's the best solution for mopping for these robots? Maybe even some home made solution if you want a challenge. Thanks in advance

[@MxghtyZmt]

Hey again, Vacuum Wars! Great to see that your still posting awesome content like this! If and when they are released, could you review the Qrevo Slim and the x40 pro (i think in some places its called the x50)? Thanks again.

[@VacuumWars]

That's the plan! Thanks for asking!

[@moy_perviy_remont]

X40 Pro extended version Chinese is not X50) X50 Pro or X50 Ultra global version is a separate model the newest with lifting mechanism 6 cm

[@y9y9]

⁠@@moy_perviy_remont Is there a release date for the x50 pro?

[@tyr0n313]

Does the L40’s side brush spin while on carpet? That was the huge drawback from the X40. It’s hard to tell from your footage, but by slowing down the video speed to .25x it looks like it still does not spin on carpet. Which is just ridiculous to me. Do other people in the world somehow not get dirt in their carpeted room corners and edges?

[@Tigrha]

@@y9y9 i read somewhere its probably going to be announced worldwide on CES 2025 so probably january / february 2025 while china has the upgraded x40 pro and x50 already on sale (but if you´ll buy it you risk having it (app) blocked outside of china

[@VacuumWars]

Our full review of the Narwal Freo Z Ultra is up now at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amXXdoltgptohck

[@adiorthotos]

Another big difference between the L and X is that the L40 is significantly taller (I mean the actual robot). It's actually one of the tallest high-end robots. Was ~3mm tallet than my old Roborock S5, which was enough to not fit under my tv desk furniture thing. Nothing I couldn't solve with a bit of folded paper, but definitely worth mentioning. Moreover it comes with both the standard rubber brush AND the specialized tricut brush in the box!

[@87Sakiel]

This look exactly like the Dreame E30 Ultra sold at costco canada. Can you confirm this for me? Thx alot!!

[@VacuumWars]

We havent checked that one out. The differences in models can really make a difference, so be sure to confirm you are getting one that matches your expectations.

[@LaszloBagi]

It is not the same, you need to look at the specs on both. The E30 is 7000 on vac power, the L40 is 11000

[@jennifersenda616]

Can you guys do a review on the cordless version of the shark power detect with the auto empty dock?

[@Matanlevi202]

you can Review Ecovacs DEEBOT X8 PRO PLUS? with the roller Moving! OMG looking soo good! i think it will Be In first place in your ranking

[@DannyLongGoogleplus]

Have returned two of these already. I have the tricut brush and it is good on hair but pick up on carpet is poor with both brushes. Place a piece of cotton on the carpet and tell me if it picks it up. I don't know how you get the mop to remove those stains because I can't get it to remove much of anything. Also have you actually tested the hot water washing? I put a probe in and it peaked at 30!

[@Tech-heartsong]

What were your app settings? That makes a big difference. You can increase the suction power for carpets and deep clean settings with more water for floor washing. You can also make it do a second pass over certain areas, or rooms. If you have yours set to an energy saving mode then it will operate in low power. It cleans less effective in low power, it sounds like you should have it doing a deep clean if you have a lot of dirt on your floors.

[@Eckster]

Watching this feels like dejavu of the last Roborock Qrevo Curv video, I guess the companies look at each other and copy their best ideas, the pet camera features, the self cleaning dock, the side brush arms to get corners, all so similar.

[@arianshishehgar7826]

Because both of them are sub-companies of xiaomi Co.

[@waylinnelson]

Do any vacuums officially work with Matter yet? I really want one that works with Apple HomeKit.

[@VacuumWars]

So far, we know of four - vacuumwars.com/apple-home-adds-support-for-robot-vacuums-with-ios-18/ - but that number could be growing.

[@tomm21]

I have had 2 dreame robovacs, an L10s and a w10. I will not own a 3rd. Both were retired within 18 months after clean water pump failures. Before that, they both developed charging problems when the charging pegs inside the dock damaged the contact pads on the vacuum due to arcing from poor contact. I got around it by using tufts of stainless steel scrub pad affixed to the pegs to increase contact surface area. I switched to eufy on the recommendation of a friend. This one has been completely trouble-free for just over a year so far.

And avoiding everything it needs to It was the side brush not rotating on carpet was a big issue with the robot but I’m happier dreame had the firmware update! Which I haven’t tired yet! The mop head removal is brilliant though you can set it to do carpets first with out the mop heads on then it will go back and mop and vac the hard floors once the carpets are cleaned Tri cut brush is great to 👌

@@Shaneb1990 Great, thanks for the info. So you tried both roborock and dreame and chose the L40? Do you find it superior to the qrevo master? I like the double brush of the qrevo master that should be more effective on carpets and I have two rooms with carpets. While I like the fact that the dreame L40 can lift the side brush and leave the mops in the base. Of the two side brushes, which one works better?

They really need a good App developer from the US to redo the App. It works, but is very user unfriendly, some of the verbiage and directions on the app is just stupid

[@Vormulac1]

I do love my L20 Ultra, but the app seems very complicated compared to the Roborock I had before. There doesn't seem to be a way to just tell the robot to go to a spot on the map and clean, for example.

[@ButterBossFilms]

I don’t think it can top the number one spot simply because the qrevo curv can go over bigger thresholds and when it empties its dust bin it is extremely quiet.

[@justaspartan8203]

I’ve had mine a week, mop pads have failed to attach between cleaning twice, and one has fallen off during cleaning and failed to return to the dock. Anyone else experiencing similar? Contacted Dreame and have essentially been fobbed off. Thanks.

in my country L40 ultra costs about 1200 euro and L20 ultra about 750 euro. so i think L20 is my choise because of such price difference. or i should choose Eufy X10 Pro Omni because its almost same price as L20 ultra
