Dreame - X40 Ultra

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

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... 

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) 

Just got the [Dreame X40 Ultra ](https://www.reddit.com/user/Accurate_Shine5695/comments/1jhg9u6/best_highend_robot_vacuums_of_2025_a_quick/)and it’s a game changer for pet hair! Super strong suction, picks up all the fur without any issues. Plus, the vacuum AND mop combo is perfect for keeping everything spotless. The self-cleaning and self-emptying features are a big bonus, less hassle for me. Highly recommend if you’ve got pets!

The Dreame X40 Ultra uses advanced LiDAR navigation and AI-powered object recognition to effectively detect and avoid obstacles, including small objects and potential hazards. Its upgraded sensors make it more reliable in handling unexpected messes compared to older models like the Roborock S7. While no RoboVac is 100% foolproof, the X40's smarter navigation significantly reduces the chances of mishaps like running through pet waste.

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.

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.

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

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'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.

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

I’m happy with my X40 Ultra. I got it refurbished from EBay

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.

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 the X40 Ultra and really enjoy it.

Dreame x40 with the hair cutting roller

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.

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

I had an x40 ultra that got warranty refunded. I’m in my first week with my L50 ultra and I’m cautiously optimistic. After a few days fiddling with settings it is operating how I would like it and doing a decent job of it. It does have the hardware for matter but is not “yet” supported. The only negative I have so far is that it’s battery life is atrocious.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Totally worth it get a Mova p10 pro ultra its the same thing as a dreame x40 for a fraction of the price under a different brand. I dont even have kids and it saves ao much time and effort. I was completely against it when my fiance wanted one but i have changes my mind completely since we got 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.

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!

I have literally the exact opposite experience. X40 has been legendary.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Love my x40!
