There are several on the market to choose from, but they all tend to have different features. Depending on your needs, you might find a vacuum that can sweep up solid floors to be serviceable. On the other hand, you may specifically need a robot with wet mopping features as well. Now, Dreame Technology wants to solve your cleaning dilemmas with a single product.

AtCES 2024, The DreameBot X30 Ultra has been introduced to eliminate the need to deep clean in hard-to-reach places, such as nooks, corners, and tight spaces.

The X30 Ultra also has an anti-tangle brush, which features three cutting heads that remove tangled hair on the vacuum’s roller brush.

While smart robot vacuums can certainly be a plus if you aren’t fond of cleaning, they aren’t without their caveats. The technology behind them continues to evolve, but there is still room for improvement. For example, Roborock has a line of smart vacuums that have grown in popularity. However, they can still create unusual issues for those who put them to use in their homes. One owner reported in November 2023 that their Roborock vacuum seemed to beturning on their television. After a bit of trial and error, they were able to determine that their smart robot was sending out infrared signals when it needed to find its dock. In turn, however, it was triggering their Phillips TV to on when unwanted. Through help from people on Reddit, the person was eventually able to prevent the problem from recurring.

These are the types of issues, however, that can arise when you decide to invest in a smart robot vacuum. While some of them are inevitable, specific problems might be avoidable, assuming you know the features of the product you’re purchasing. Every smart robot vacuum has different capabilities, and knowing how they can meet — or not meet — your needs is essential to finding the right one for your home.
