Dreame - X40 Pro Ultra

Ya Its so worth it! I bought the L40 for $400 on Amazon. Returned cause the X40 went on sale for $499 with $150 of extras at Costco!

I am often surprised, and offended at how much difference there is in premium robots (which is what I tend to test, rather than budget or midrange). You should expect, if you pay that much, for a robot to work. This problem is much worse in lawnbots, but there is no condition under which I would purchase a Roomba or Eufy on purpose. Doesn't matter what model. I'm most impressed by Roborock, Dreame and Ecovacs. That said, each model is different. For instance, I thought the X40 was just fine. Didn't blow me out of the water. But I think the X50 is quite good, although it still has some navigation issues. I haven't tested the Monsga line, sorry.

Yes, don’t spend too much, these extra features are not that great benefit. 40‘s will do the job and prices will fall as usual and then u can think about another model because the price fits the benefit. And don’t expect too much. You still have to clean by yourself sometimes.

Personally as an owner of a X40 Ultra: a resounding yes. imho its abysmal. I just spent an hour today re-calibrating where all are the rooms in my apartment are because it suddenly shifted my house 30 degrees and couldn't reach any room. like, it would start driving into the wall instead of going to the room I asked it to clean. also, I have a dog that sheds and the only way I could get the robot to properly empty itself before it gets clogged full of dirt is by splitting each real room into 3 sub-rooms so that it will only clean a 1/3 of the room before the "clean after each task" policy forces it to empty. this is really annoying because if they just have let you set the auto empty frequency as low as I want it should have been fine but the lowest possible setting is around 10m\^2 if I remember, which is just too much to prevent it from being clogged in my apartment. another stupid software limitation - they have this feature called shortcuts that lets you save a pre-set sequence of cleaning actions, but they only let you select 6 tasks per shortcut, and you're only allowed to create 10 shortcuts overall per map. I use this feature to group the above sub-rooms together so I can start a clean on a full room, but if you want to start the cleaning on several rooms at once - too bad for you, you can only get 6 tasks at most to run as a shortcut which means 2 rooms at most due to the above split. to be fair, each task can include many cleaning operations, but the dust bin will clog itself if you set more than one sub-room per task so it doesn't really matter. I had to do a doubly hacky hack and map my single floor apartment (around 100m\^2) as several different floors so I can set different shortcuts for each floor(each floor has a software limitation of max 10 shortcuts). this way I had enough "shortcuts budget" to have a shortcuts for cleaning 2 rooms at once. like - I have 5 rooms and I can only pick 2 rooms for each shortcut because of the limit on num. tasks so i created a separate shortcut for each of "living room + kitchen", "living room + balcony", "kitchen + balcony", "kitchen + bedroom", "living room + bedroom" etc'. blah, but at least I found a workaround for that. but if I want to clean 3 rooms with a single shortcut - its too bad, I can't. aside from that the map from time to time will get distorted and I'll need to manually make adjustments so it more or less aligns with where the actual rooms are. and sadly every time you make an adjustment to a room any related shortcuts will be deleted so I have to go through the whole setup process I mentioned again. so yes, I call the Dreame software abysmal. but even though my personal experience with the X40 is really bad, if the auto empty feature would have been working properly all these hacks wouldn't have been needed. so maybe they fixed this problem in later hardware and now its good, idk. P.S if anyone looking to buy a used X40 Ultra dm me lol.

If you can go to Costco the Robovac 508 is the Dreame X40 Ultra for $499 with about $150 worth of extras. If you want to stay at $400 I would suggest the L40 Ultra, personal preference but alot of this sub likes the P10 which is also a great vacuum. Tbh Mova and Dreame are like Kia and Hyundai, both use the same parts, same chassis, share ownership. So you can't really go wrong with either. They are basically the same unit.

Damn I really wish to have a full review from you on the X40, it's kind of my favorite (bought two, first on December, the second one today, and thank god no need of support just yet) and I always love hearing reviews that compare it to other robot vacuums, because in my eyes and in my experience - it's perfect, yet I hear so many complaints about it that I just keep on praying to never need to use the warranty... 

People also expect a plug in vacuum performance from a tiny Robovac. But yea also pleased with my $500 X40!

I did. I thought the x50 was a nice upgrade, but the x40 was ok.

I really appreciate the thorough response man, truly. I hope you never need customer service ???? and it seems to be a global thing with Dreame, as the complaints go from country to country as I hear them... I just really hope to never need them. And tbh, in my country they didn't bring the Saros 10R, only the 10, so I wasn't so keen in getting it with the vibrating moppad.. Also the retractable Lidar that has expiry times-of-use threw me off a little.. So I ended up considering either another X40 or Ecovacs x8 for the roller-mop, but ecovacs' last release here got destroyed in reviews, and so I just decided to go with what I know (and love, for now lol) 

Hated dog hair the bin is small and it had no option to go back any faster to the base to empty so it would just push piles of hair around till the algorithm told it to go back and empty but it would never retouch the pile it left. they kept telling me to select a function that was not in my menu. so they took it back took months but its gone. and service is 1 email a day after they answer the phone on first ring so one problem will take a week to sort out and they dont want to call you back, just email there comes in around 2 am yours goes back at around 9am and then wait

Pleased you are amused. What is the point in telling people bull shit. I've had an L20, L40, X40. The only one with no issues was the L20 and is still going strong. The L40 and X40 were replaced twice. I've had problems with Samsung . . I'm currently running a roborock, useless with obstacle avoidance, excellent on carpet, and a Eufy E28, very good but a very basic app. It isn't just about Dreame it's about giving no bull shit honest opinions

Hmm . . X40 and x50 I tried both poor. L50 best one I've had

I just bought the X40, and if what you say is true, your robot should last me at least 10 years, given how well you make your products… Pain point: pet hair getting stuck on wheels and brush, despite tricut. Other than that i am pretty happy so far! P.s. I live in EU, so a nice sale would he nice… why do always US get the best sales?? You could give us some love for having governments that dont hate on China!

I was juiced to get the dreame x40 for 500 bucks USD direct from the Ontario mills store. came with the tri cut brush and the cleaning solution. Not a perfect machine but I am happy with it

I have the dreame x40 ultra. I call it Optimus prime. I love my vacuum. Software is easy and the robot does a pretty good job. I still have to vacuum and mop every now and then, but my apartment is always clean.

I have a Dreame X40 Ultra and run it on a scheduled vacuum and mop every morning. Works well for 2 pugs that always shed!

I have two Golden Mountain dogs - Bernese-Golden mixes. The shedding is something else. All hardwood. I just picked up a Dreame X40 with a tricut brush. Plan is to have it run every night. So far so good after a few nights, but I suspect I’ll be changing the bag every week. I think as long as it goes every night, it should stay ahead of it. Was $499 on Black Friday sale.

I have the S1 Pro. It would do a much better job then the X40 regarding mopping and have navigation that's at least as good. But the X40 as a massive edge in corner cleaning and vacuuming on carpet.

New Dreame stores in southern california have the X40 ultra with tri-cut hair brush on sale for $500 until Fathers Day. Just have to call to place the order and they should ship anywhere in the US. Great deal and got one myself!

Roborock saros 10r top of our list Eufy E25 2nd this is already at BF pricing according to eufy Dreame/mova same company and had x40 returned it Narwal not seeing the fantastic reviews from individuals and the onboard bin might be too small for 2000sqft home with 2 shepherds even with daily vac JMHO

Can only speak from my own experience, but I’ve had the X40 since December last year and had no issues with it- apart from a dodgy software update that was fixed in a week. It cleans a large 2 bedroom flat with a short haired dog most days and the communal hallway twice a week all in its stride. The hallway has a set of stairs at the end and never had any problems with its fall avoidance. I would say to use distilled water if like me you live in a hard water area.

too many issues and never solved the first problem and then the second started

I’ve got a Dreame x40, and my sister in law has a Dreame l30. We’re both super happy with them.

Recently got a Dreame X40 Ultra, it’s pretty nice. Can’t think of anything else I’d need from a vacuum. I just change the water containers; liquid detergent usage is pretty minimal so it’ll last months. Love that the mops are detachable magnetic pads instead of the velcro type and it automatically washes & dries them at the base station

Sounds like its the one, my x40 never got an update to make it empty more often

I've got a dreamtech which has self cleaning mops and it does pretty good. I've also got 2 kids and toys all over the floor and it barely gets stuck.

I have a Dreame X40 ultra. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with 2 sheddy dogs and it does an ok job on carpet and a pretty good job on hardwood. I bought it refurbished on Amazon for around $700

Got the dream a few weeks ago. It's a game changer. I had a Neato and a few iRobots over the years. With those units, I spent more time pulling out dog hair and untangling rollers than actually using the product. This is a lot more advanced, and with the self emptying, it's pretty great. All I do now is swap out the water tanks every day. Gripes? The mop pad on the base station gets hairy. It has difficulty getting dirt between the edge of the rug and the hardwood floors. It's expensive. All in all, it's a nice machine.

Love my x40!

Dreame x40 with the hair cutting roller

Only vacuums above $800 will handle that threshold. Anything below will not even attempt it. Outside that the Dreame L40 or X40 and Mova P10 are your best options for $400.

I purchased a refurbished Dreame X40 Ultra from eBay. It’s been super solid. I just got the tricut brush to see if I can get a little bit better performance on carpet with our shedding dogs.

If you have the gift card, I dont have one but dont want the e25, Im looking at the mova z60, I just dont want the experience we had with the dreame x40 pushing dog hair around and never really picking it up. we have the bot run everyday a little over half the house twice a week and the main are daily with 2 german shedders well you get it

The really good for maintaining a clean. I have dreame x40 and it's really good. It vacuums and mops but once every two weeks or so I do a manual vacuum and mop.

I just shipped out my x40 they offered me a x50 refirb but i said no. I'm done with dreame and mova is just another division of them. Looking a roborock revo curvx, narwel flow or the ecovac deebot x11 but thier t50 pro max is coming highly recommended with dog hair. still looking

It doesn't seem right to me. My X40 picks up everything on the carpet and even leaves it decently combed

this is easy! Freo Z uses too much water, you have to refill it ALL THE TIME. hard pass. Dreame x40 is.. good... but not great. The S8 MaxV Ultra is truly great.

The Dreame X40 can really do everything. The object avoidance is great. The navigation is top notch and it uses it's side brunch effectively to get into corners. I've had mine since launch in May of 2024. It's been pretty solid.

Just curious, what don't you like about the Qrevo? I've been borrowing one for a few weeks, and then finally bought a higher end Dreame X40 , and decided I liked the qrevo more. I thought I was crazy, but it does align with how it's the only model highly rated on costco's website \-Roborock app is much better, especially the mapping. Every youtuber says they about the same, and I don't agree with this at all. \-Qrevo's pathing is extremely efficient and natural, translates to quicker jobs. 30% - 40% quicker than X40. \-Qrevo is quiet enough to run at night, and/or be minimally annoying when running in the same room as you \-Qrevo is more thorough because "flagship" obstacle avoidance is a double edge sword. The x40 has false positives (baseboards), and in general is skittish on approaching safe obstacles, keeping its distance. The only things I intentionally leave on the floors are shoes, which the Qrevo's low end sensors work fine with. Of course this is YMMV and if animal waste is a possibility, then flagship obstacle seems worth its weight in gold. The only high end features I'm missing are edge mops and brushes- but in real life I don't think they are a big deal. No robot gets everywhere or replaces the need for manual cleans, so you are talking about a robot that gets 90% vs 91%. BTW since you are a costco member, the freo z ultra is on it's last day at $650 today. I almost bought one, as it's supposed to be one of the best moppers for hard floors, and has one of the most intelligent obstacle avoidance systems,,getting closer to things. Main con people bring up is it is water hungry, and in objective tests it is well below average on carpet.
