Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 3 Review
With the L10s Ultra Gen 3, Dreame is continuing its well-known vacuum robot series. The company is focusing on improvements in every nook and cranny. Above all, the price is surprising for the asking price.
An extendable side brush, an extendable mop pad, and a docking station that does the dirty work for you. And all for a purchase price of less than €500? That’s exactly what Dreame makes possible with the L10s Ultra Gen 3. We reviewed this robot vacuum cleaner for you. Note that this model is not officially available in the US at press time; therefore, there is no equivalent US price.
Design and Setup of the Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 3
Dreame remains true to its design with the L10s Ultra Gen 3. It is available in white and looks like its predecessors. Unlike the previous generation, this smart appliance now has an extendable side brush and a mop that can also swing out to tackle pesky corners. There is also a special brush that prevents pet and human hair from tangling. The Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 3 stands 9.7 cm tall.
The docking station also sports the typical Dreame design. It measures 34.0 x 45.7 x 59.0 cm and has two water tanks. There is also a 200 ml mini tank to hold cleaning agent for the mops. However, the solution is added only during mop cleaning. The docking station does not lack in functions, offering a self-emptying function, and the washing and drying of the mopping equipment.
Dreame Home App is Detailed
The Dreame Home app, which contains all the settings for the robot vacuum cleaner, is always ready to help. You can set the vacuuming and mopping parameters here, as well as how the navigation ought to be.
In the other settings, you can specify how often the extendable mop and brush should be used. There are also options to customize carpet cleaning options according to your wishes. For instance, you can specify whether the robot vacuum cleaner should lift the mops or set the mopping equipment down in the docking station beforehand.
Vacuuming and Mopping Performance of the Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 3
In terms of suction power, the robot vacuum cleaner performed well. Dreame boasts 25,000 Pa of suction power, which is a high value in the €500 price category. It is all the more impressive because the current top robot vacuum cleaner brand also boasts models with a similar suction power. The L10s Ultra Gen 3 offers many advantages.
For starters, the robot vacuum cleaner can get to corners and hard-to-reach places in your home. It is also ideal for households with four-legged friends. This is because no hair gets tangled in the main brush or the side brush, thanks to the Tricut Brush.
Two rotating mops are used for mopping. The mopping result is satisfactory. This Dreame smart appliance only faces problems with dried stains. In this case, you may have to let the robot vacuum cleaner run across the dried stains several times until everything is removed. However, your carpets are safe from getting wet. You have the choice of whether the mopping pads will remain in the docking station or be lifted up as it passes over them. In the latter, they are lifted by 1.5 cm.
When it comes to navigation and obstacle detection, the robot vacuum cleaner performed well in the usual Dreame manner. It reliably detected cables. Even table or chair legs were not difficult for it to move around. Just in case you were wondering, you can define areas on the scanned map as no-go zones so that the robot vacuum cleaner avoids them.
When the robot vacuum cleaner has finished its work, it’s time for it to return to the docking station. All dust will be emptied, the mop pads rinsed, and finally dried with hot air. You can specify just how long the drying process should take via the app.
Is the Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 3 Worth Buying?
Yes, absolutely! The L10s Ultra Gen 3 from Dreame is living proof that even robot vacuum cleaners that cost less than €500 can keep up with flagship models. Suction power remains at an exemplary degree. The vacuum result proved to be surprising on carpets as well. Once again, we are talking about a robot vacuum cleaner that costs less than €500.
If there’s any nitpicking worth pointing out, it’s the mopping performance on dried stains. To be honest, this is a tolerable shortcoming that one can accept with this model. As mentioned, the purchase price is less than €500, making it a steal.
