Finding the right robot vacuum for your needs can be tricky. There are lots of options on
the market today, all with a wide variety of features and price points.
Overview:
This robust robot features:
- Built-in mopping function
- LiDAR navigation and SLAM algorithm for fast scanning and dynamic mapping
- Large base station and separate dust bag
- Multi-surface brush for dust and pet hair
- Alexa and Google voice assistant compatibility
- Customized cleaning schedules
Design:
The DreameBot D10 Plus features a circular shape and is made from sleek, high-gloss
white plastic. It measures 13 ¾ inches and fits under most furniture. It features a LiDAR
sensor in the top of the tower for smart navigation. The docking station measures 12
inches wide and stands 16 inches tall, with a hinged top cylinder that allows for easy
access and emptying of the dust bag.
Drive and Brushes
The main roller brush is in the center and its multi-surface design means it can clean
floors or carpets. It also features a second bush which sweeps out to the side and is
designed to capture dust, dog hair and debris outside of the vacuum’s path. The wheels
are large enough to cross most household transitions so it shouldn’t get stuck or have
any problems following its mapped path as it cleans.
Suction and Performance
The DreameBot D10 Plus has four different suction levels ranging as high as 4,000Pa.
This is 50% stronger than a typical robot vacuum. Its smart technology lets it downshift
to lower suction modes to save battery life and increases suction when it hits carpet or
lots of debris.
The mopping function also has multiple modes and features three different spray levels.
The water reservoir holds 145 ml water which is on the smaller side. If you have a large
hard-surface area, you will need to refill the tank. You can use the vacuum mode or
mopping mode alone or use both at the same time. You can also add no-mop zones –
so if you have both carpet and hardwood floors, you can specify which areas will be
cleaned in which way.
Battery
The DreameBot D10 has an internal 5200mAh battery that can run on standard suction
mode for up to 150 minutes and cover about 2900 square feet per charge.
Setup
Setting up the DreameBot D10 Plus is easy – simply download the free Xiaomi Home
app, and pair it with your smartphone via Bluetooth. Then follow the wizard to connect it
to the WiFi. After that, you control it from your phone and clean on your schedule. You
can also pair your DreameBot D10 Plus with Alexa or Google Assistant. You can use
voice commands to start and stop cleaning cycles, schedule cleaning cycles for
individual rooms or the whole house, tell it what rooms to avoid, pause cleaning, or
return it to the base to charge.
Mapping
After the vacuum has been paired, it will move through the rooms, creating a map of the
floorplan. After the map of the house is complete, it will perform efficient cleaning cycles
in a logical pattern.
Accessories
The DreameBot D10 Plus comes with a dust hopper and water tank, a microfiber
mopping pad, two bags for the base, a cleaning tool and AC power cord.
Overall Assessment
The DreameBot D10 Plus is a robust, full-featured robot vacuum with a powerful motor
and intelligent app, with all the smart features you typically see in higher priced models.
With its long-lasting battery, higher suction capacity and ability to clean up to 2900
square feet on one charge – this little robot will power through even tough messes with
ease.
