Dreame L20 Ultra Review - The Most Advanced Robot Vacuum Tested!

Robot vacuum cleaners they are just getting more  and more advanced every time I cover them and this   is no exception here from dreame the l20 ultra  is the most advanced to date that I have covered   with some unique features so it has a mop extend  feature that solves one of those problems that   we do have a robot vacuum clean as other models  where the mop can simply not get close enough to   the edge of things while this it extends its mop  out and it's got then a lot better coverage we   have an auto empty Auto clean station here and it  can also add the cleaning solution to the water it   has an internal tank of 70 milliliters so it will  clean rinse out those mops in the auto empty Auto   clean station right here dry them at 45 degrees  Celsius when it has finished it's clean and empty   out the contents of the internal Dustbin into the  main dust bin here which is 3.2 liters now dreamy   claims it can handle up to 75 days worth of dust  and debris and we've got water tanks that are 4.5   for clean water 4 liters for our duty tank and  then the navigation of this unit here it's using   lidar and we do have ai obstacle avoidance and I'm  going to be putting that to the test including a   mistake that maybe a dog or a cat could leave  behind and no it wasn't my cat Vera let's see   if it's not going to run over this particular dog  poop or cat poop and not smear it everywhere it's   just a fake one so don't worry about that but the  obstacle avoidance in this model you'll see that   it's one of the best that I have tested out yet  it also has has 7 000 PA of suction performance it   has Elixir Siri Google Assistant support you can  log into the camera and even do security rounds of   your house with a live feed this model here pretty  much has you covered for everything you'd want and   a robot vacuum cleaner let's take a look at  what is included so we have our extension for   the base station this here is a rather large user  manual that is in various different languages for   it then under this you will find our side sweeper  brush so that is right here we have this which is   just talking about well quick start there to get  you all set up it's also underneath the lid of the   base station too permanently there for us we've  got our two mops so it's microfiber style these   mops here and they're using magnets that's the way  they connect of course these are removable and you   can just pull them off like that if you wanted  to just wash them yourself throw them in maybe   the washing machine or something and of course  eventually they will wear out and you'll need to   replace them later on then we have some cleaning  solution here and this is our power cable that is   the side sweeper brush looking at the underside  so our side sweeper brush we've got our Edge   detection sensors while the full sensors so it  knows if there's a step it won't go over that of   course and then L2 mops now these mops here we've  got our mop rise so that lifts the mops up and   there will be 10.5 millimeters out and that is for  short pile carpets but for long pile carpets this   will actually leave the mops behind in our base  station and we have the mop extend so this one   here it can move right out as you can see now and  that means it mops right up against the edges of   your floor it's not going to leave any gaps now so  this is a really good feature to have up the top   here we have a carpet detection sensor 360 degree  wheel that is removable for cleaning and our side   brush of course that is removable so these two  wheels can handle climbs of up to two centimeters   the suction performance Max is 7000 PA which  is quite a lot now we do have these four little   brushes and the main brush here which is  a rubber sweeper style brush no bristles   does not get hair Tangled Up in it and for  maintenance to remove it very easy just pinch   those two little tabs together and then you can  pull off that cover and remove our rubber brush   the main brush can also raise and lower itself  and it does have a run time of 180 minutes that   is in the quiet mode both vacuuming and mopping  thanks to the 6400 milliamp hour battery which is   quite a bit larger than what I typically see the  top of the l20 pro does have a lidar setup part   of their Pathfinder smart navigation the lid is  held in place with magnets and if you wanted to   gain access to its internal Dustbin which is 300  milliliters you can simply just lift that off and   then remove It To Em Dead out but we do of course  have the auto empty station so you probably won't   be doing this at all the filter is washable and  it's a two-stage system you'll see just in the   inside here that there is this fine mesh that  covers that filter so that's the first stage   and the second being the filter itself when the  vacuum does empty this 300 milliliter Dustbin it   is blowing from this side and sucking out from  here and that ensures there's going to be no   blockage in the internal Dustbin the l20 ultra  has three backlit hardware buttons on the top   of it here so we've got spot clean power on and  off and to send it back to the dock and on top   of that lidar laser there are some microphones  that's for the live video feed it also because   it does support Siri Alexa and Google Assistant  for navigation it's not solely relying on the   lidar too because it does have 3D structured light  obstacle avoidance at the front of it we've got   that camera for the live feed that you can log  into and it can identify 55 different types of   obstacles with its AI obstacle avoidance you'll  see that either side here we do have some LEDs   so if the ambient light isn't sufficient enough it  will automatically turn these on then the back of   it here we have the two charging contact points  infrared so it can line itself up with the dock   the water inlet for the 80 milliliter internal  tank that will keep wetting these mops here   and note that these mops are currently in their  raised state that 10.5 millimeters as mentioned   and our base station this is just over 60  centimeters in height it will auto empty the   l20 ultra refill the internal water tank and clean  those mops and even leave them behind if necessary   the washboard area is removable for maintenance  so you can easily wash that out there will be   some residue that eventually starts to build up in  there and you can wipe out the lower part here too   the auto empty compartment is right here there's a  little lock on there you need to flick that latch   and then you can now remove this so it just pops  off like so and we've got our bag here now the   capacity of this is 3.2 liters and dreamy state  that it is good for up to 75 days of course that's   going to be depending on how large your household  is how many animals how many people and they do   include a spare bag that is slotted in the side  now when you do remove these bags to show you they   seal themselves off so there's a little tab here  that closes over and when you remove that you're   going to have no dust and debris coming out of  it inside the lid you will find a quick guide on   the base station and then our water tanks here so  the clean water tank is 4.5 liters the Wastewater   tank this is four liters and they are very easy  to remove you simply just slot them in and out   there are three touch buttons along the top here  so this is for drying that's at 45 degrees and   with the app you can set it to two three or four  hours this is to start and stop home button and   if you press and hold this for three seconds it  will drain out the washing area for maintenance   located in the middle of our base station you  will find where you put the floor cleaning   solution so it simply just slots down in here  and they do have a brush for maintenance of   the washing area and on the other side of this  brush there is a hair removal tool and depending   on your household you could buy an optional kit  so you can have plumbed in the clean water and   the Wastewater so you don't need to remove  both of those tanks I just showed you before   this is our application which is called dreamy  home so once you've got it all added and you   need to pair it up to your Wi-Fi network you get  this right here so we have some shortcuts common   functions to just start cleaning docket real-time  camera so this here is very handy there is a   security code first that you do need to enter  now my code is not of course secure but that's   just for this video so once you're in here you've  got a live preview and you can manually control   the l20 ultra go through and just have a look at  your house now there's the cruise mode which does   allow you can see from this example to go in and  out of different rooms and it's a basic security   check of your house there's a built-in microphone  and speaker you can talk to people with it and if   you've got pets this is really great to check up  on them if you are away from home and trust me it   is Handy and I have used it a lot just to see how  my animals are how Vera is my cat and just to see   that nothing's happened in the house like there's  the dishwasher has bloated or hot water cylinder   or anything once you go into it you'll see the  map and if it has just been cleaning you'll see   exactly where it has cleaned and where it is  going to go if it's currently cleaning so we   have right here the maps now you've got multi-map  support here so it's four different levels no go   zones virtual boundary you can edit your areas the  furniture carpet and under here the display too   the floor materials you can change that as well  you can rotate the map and as mentioned there's up   to four maps that you can save for the different  levels which is great so we've got also the clean   genius right here so you've got an ultimate mode  which is a very thorough clean and this will also   uh do that mop extension so it's going to get the  mop right into the edges go along cleaning them   really well thorough deep clean most people would  probably just use the daily mode so the daily   mode here is just a normal kind of clean but it  will repeat the more dirtier areas go over them   uh again if needed which is very good now you've  got a lot of options here with your cleaning so   you can customize your cleaning and I'll just  show you some of the settings there's a lot in   here so we have the vacuum and performance all  the way up to 7000 PA you can just mop only you   can get it to you can see here uh just vacuum  then too as well you've got Max suction power   performance and all sorts of options and even  the style of mopping so there's there's a deep   mopping the standard and a water saving mopping  there too if you wanted to the cleaning sequence   there's really a lot in here all the options you  can think of is pretty much covered including the   base station so you can set that when you want  it to clean those mops go through all of that   you can also tell it when to go back manually to  wash the mops but it will do it automatically to   dry or stop drying Auto empty you can get it  to automatically do that or you just manually   do it yourself if you want to there's just so many  options in here it's really uh endless so when you   take a look at the map it is very detailed here  and you can go and clean for zones and I love the   fact that you can easily resize these areas here  you can set to go over it for example two times   for the spot clean you have your room cleans and  you can adjust the sequence of that and set that   to be one two three times maximum for your cleans  and finally there are a lot more settings in here   and I won't go through all of it but we've got  our carpet clean settings where you can adjust   uh the mop for example if you want that to  be lifted over the carpets or to leave it or   completely avoid the carpets carpet boost  there so all of these options are in here   you have the AI recognition I'll leave this  on I do have pits so I have turned that onto   the pet environment and you can also get  it to just clean around their surroundings   um carefully so it's not going to be sucking up  their food or causing any issues there which is   quite good handy option again for pet owners  real-time camera settings uh robot management   there is a lot on here your schedules your history  floor cleaning settings intelligent mop setting to   there's just so much in here the app pretty much  covers everything there's so many options in this   so it has this huge feature set it's got a lot of  things that it can do but what about that cleaning   performance I mean it must be amazing right with  all that is on offer here the dream you have with   the l20 ultra well it is very very good so when  you do the first map it'll go around the rooms   very quickly and just map it out with the lidar  and then it will set to work going around the   edges first so systematic clean that we commonly  see with these Robot vacuum cleaners that I am   covering now if you are using the clean Genie mode  and you use the ultimate clean mode which is very   thorough it will then and you can adjust this in  the settings too by the way it will use the mop   extend and go around then and clean air with the  mop as close as possible to the edge of everything   and this works out really well and it's certainly  getting into areas where no other Robot vacuum   cleaners seem to be able to get so it's getting  a lot closer than they ever have before so on   hard tiled floors the queen has been very good  and it's doing a great job with those mops too   going along and scrubbing the ground cleaning it  thoroughly we've got the internal water tank so we   don't have to worry about it running out of water  but it can go back of course and wool how you set   it in the application too by the way to then clean  those mops in here and that is standard of other   machines that do this it also will dry them out  at 45 degrees Celsius so there's no smells there's   no mold that's going to grow in there now the  cleaning performance with the tests that I have   been doing so I did my standard test which is a  teaspoon of coffee mixed with dirt left to dry now   this is not a standard stain this is super  stubborn now the first pass you can see the l20   ultra mopping here in the spot clean mop mode with  just a standard mop it wasn't the Deep mopping   that I set it to first pass was very good it just  left behind a couple of marks there and then on   the second pass it had I would say pretty much  99 coverage you might notice a couple of little   specks on the tiles there there are some little  dents and it's probably that that it was that it   did an exceptional job after the second pass the  first pass yes left a little bit there so that   cleaning performance was fantastic then when you  take a look at the mops with the coffee that I   went over yes they were quite dirty now I put them  into the auto clean station I told it to rinse   those mops out and I did this last night and you  can see just before this is the before and now the   after after it's cleaned and dried those mops they  are super dry now I set it to four hours and the   mops at least with my current temperatures would  actually be clean and dried only around about two   hours here so I did a very good job of cleaning  them and drying them which is really good to see   the mop lift function also did work well and will  work well on your short piled carpets now if you   do have long pile carpets or mats then of course  it will go back if you instruct it to with the app   again you've got those options there to then leave  behind the mops inside our Auto clean station and   then continue to do its clean now the vacuuming  performance and the mapping has been very good so   it goes all around the furniture as you'd expect  for this style and and the beds of course all of   that and it will turn on those front LED lights  which is quite good to see day and you do have   that option when you're using the live streaming  feature with the video too to turn on those if you   wanted to but the cleaning performance when it  was vacuuming and doing my matte test here this   is where I laid out some Bits of Paper some corn  flakes some dust long hairs cat fur it's quite a   mess it did a reasonably good job you can see  going over everything but it did expose the   weakness that I have seen with this style of brush  so the rubber only brush without the bristles is   not as good at lifting up the hair yes the benefit  is it will not tangle up with here so if you have   hard floors everywhere in your house this is an  ideal Robot vacuum for that but if you have a lot   of cat fur along here you can see with my test  sped up these results now that there were some   hair left behind so the coverage here was about  90 percent leaving behind those fine hairs that   were pressed into the top of the mat so it will  struggle a little bit with this style of bra and I   do hope that dreamy will offer a combination brush  which would be the rubber sweepers and also the   bristles for this particular model that users then  can decide or depending on your home which one you   want to use obstacle avoidance now this is where I  did my little poop test we can call it that right   so the artificial cat poo or dog poo I put down  and I really wanted it to miss this because you   don't want that being smeared everywhere if it  was real and that's happened to a lot of people   I've heard a lot of these stories where people  have had the basic without the obstacle avoidance   Robot vacuum cleaners spare that mess everywhere  you don't want to come home to that because that's   going to turn a good day into a disaster of  course so I went around the shoes the USB cable   the sock and the poop no problems whatsoever  it never touched anything fantastic obstacle   avoidance it is the best I have seen yet final  verdict then this does an excellent job of hard   floors the mopping performer once we've got clean  genius which is going to detect of some areas are   a little bit dirtier than others and reclean them  like your kitchens the mop extend very good that   feature then the mops lift the main brush can also  lift up and if it's got high piled carpets if you   have them in your house then it can leave the mops  behind here so very good things to have in houses   that do have the occasional like high pile mats  or carpets that you maybe just don't want it to go   over it or even risk that then it won't it won't  do that you can set those options with its carpet   detector sorry Elixir and Google Assistant support  it has the live stream from the front camera very   useful if you're away you can log in you can take  a look at your house do a little Cruise they call   it which is a basic Patrol of your house security  patrol to see everything is fine or check up on   your animals another good option to have there  speaking of animals if they accidentally do a   bit of a mistake a little poodle leaves behind a  little here for you well it's going to detect and   see it and it's got the built-in LEDs too as well  so it'll light it up so if it's at night when it   does its clean it shouldn't go over it in fact  it has the best obstacle avoidance that I have   seen out of any Robot vacuum cleaner with this  more advanced feature then the cleaning station   does a fantastic job we've got the auto empty  cleans those mops really well dries them out so   there's going to be no smells at all we have  the 4.5 liter clean water tank we have the 4   liter dirty water tank you could even hard Plumb  them in if you have that option at your house you   don't even need to touch the tanks at all the only  maintenance you would have would be cleaning out   the washing board area probably about every month  and then maybe every 75 days depends up to it you   can then of course empty out the bag and you  don't have to touch any of the dust and debris   from that because it seals itself off you just  throw that into the rubbish bin we have the 7000   PA of suction performers which is also very good  that is one of the highest that I have seen and   tested out but we have that same weakness of the  Silicon or the rubber brush so the rubber brush   not so great at lifting up fine hair long hair  animal hair and human hair on your carpets and   your rugs and mats and things it will tend to  leave a few of them behind even with the 7000   PA suction performance and I'm seeing this with  other models that I have also been covering if   you want the really good lifting up of those  hairs then you need the bristles unfortunately   the bristles also trap the hairs and they get  stuck which at least doesn't happen with this   so overall it is a very good Advanced with just  so many features Robot vacuum cleaner with its   Auto empty Auto clean station thank you so much  for watching this video on the dreamy l20 Ultra
