Dreame X40 Ultra
VERDICT
This is the only robot vacuum strictly recommended for homes with high-pile carpets or luxury rugs. The ability to physically detach its mop pads sets it apart from every other competitor. Combined with 12,000 Pa of suction and an extending side brush, it is a cleaning powerhouse that leaves no corner untouched.
The Big Picture
Most robots just lift their mops a few millimeters when they detect carpet. The Dreame X40 Ultra says "why risk it?" It automatically drives to its dock, drops off the magnetic mop pads, and returns to vacuum your rugs with zero risk of cross-contamination or dampness. It’s the ultimate peace of mind for expensive flooring.
🦾 Dual Flex Arms
The Reach: While Roborock extends the side brush, Dreame extends both the side brush and the rear mop.
The Result: It can stick its mop leg under low cabinets (like a fridge gap) and sweep corners simultaneously. It practically eliminates the need for manual touch-ups along baseboards.
🚿 70°C Hot Water Wash
Hygiene first.
Temperature: The base station washes the mops at 70°C (higher than Roborock's 60°C). This higher temperature is more effective at removing sticky residues like dried coffee or sauce, ensuring the mops don't just spread dirt around.
✅ The Pros
- Mop Detachment: 100% safe for thick carpets.
- Tri-Cut Brush: Optional brush cuts hair to prevent tangling (sold separately).
- 12,000 Pa Suction: Industry-leading power.
- Omni-Dirt Detection: Cameras re-clean spots that are still dirty.
❌ The Cons
- App Experience: The app is slightly buggy and less polished than Roborock's.
- Obstacle Avoidance: Sometimes too cautious, skipping areas it could actually fit into.
- Price: Just as expensive as the top-tier Roborock.
🤔 Should you buy it?
YES if you have wall-to-wall carpets or expensive rugs that must stay dry.
NO if your home is mostly hard floors (the Roborock S8 MaxV has slightly better navigation AI for complex layouts).
