Robot vacuums have come a long way, but tackling high-pile carpets remains a challenge for many models, especially those that also mop. The Dreame L40 Ultra rises to the occasion, solving this dilemma with its ingenious automatic mop removal system. This makes it the top choice for homes with high-pile carpets in 2024.
The L40 Ultra’s automatic mop removal is a game-changer. It’s programmed to detach its mopping pads and leave them behind in the docking station before starting its vacuuming routine. This eliminates the worry of mopping streaks on carpets, a common problem with many hybrid robot vacuums. While other models offer limited mop retraction, the L40 Ultra’s solution is far more effective and elegant. Even the innovative iRobot Roomba Combo j9+, which lifts its mopping plate, can’t quite match the L40 Ultra’s all-around appeal.
The automatic mop removal is just one of many impressive features on the Dreame L40 Ultra. Its powerful suction (up to 11,000Pa) effortlessly tackles dirt and debris. The swinging side brush effectively sweeps along baseboards and furniture, while the Anti-Tangle Tricut Brush prevents hair and pet fur from clogging the device. The L40 Ultra’s sensors also allow it to adjust suction levels based on the amount of dirt detected, making it ideal for high-pile carpets where thorough cleaning is essential. You can personalize your cleaning routes through the Dreame app, or let the robot do its thing based on its own intelligent assessment.
Maintaining the L40 Ultra is a breeze. The docking station holds up to 75 days of debris and features a self-cleaning mechanism that rinses and dries the mopping pads after each cleaning cycle. A duo-scraper system also keeps the bottom of the dock clean, preventing gunk buildup. In short, the L40 Ultra is a powerful and convenient robot vacuum that delivers exceptional results for all homes, especially those with high-pile carpets.
If you’re willing to spend a bit more, consider the Dreame X40 Ultra. While older and pricier than the L40 Ultra, it also features automatic mop removal and offers even more suction (12,000Pa). This could be a better choice for homes with heavier dirt and debris. However, for most households, the Dreame L40 Ultra offers a compelling combination of features and performance at a more accessible price.
