A Clean Hybrid Robot Vacuum Including Self-Evacuuming and Drin-Out-of-Full Disk Instability

My house is so clean that my 6-year-old daughter looked at me sternly as she walked through the kitchen this morning. He told me that the spot was sticky. He found the idea of a sticky spot abhorrent because he had thrown a banana minutes earlier. (In his defense, I find it abhorrent too.)

The X10 Pro Omni is a huge improvement over the X9 Pro, and I can’t believe it. Most importantly, it now has a self-emptying bin, but there are other small redesigns that make it much easier to use—and make my floors nearly spotless.

After a few weeks of letting X30 Ultra take over vacuuming duty (and mopping my floors for the first time in … too long), I found it’s a great all-around hybrid robot vacuum that doesn’t let complicated table legs or high-pile rugs slow it down. It’s amazing to be able to ditch the damp mop pads. It’s pricey, so you have to invest in features that make it worth the money.

The first and most obvious change between generations is that the docking station now has a self-emptying bin. If you really want self-automated cleaning—not a robot to ping-pong under the kitchen table for 20 minutes after dinner—your robot needs to be able to empty the bin when it’s full. The dirt just drags around your house. You can change the frequency in the app when you put the X10 Pro to empty. The emptying function was effective and it can be loud at 75 decibels, but it only lasts for a few seconds.

The water tanks in the housing that is trying to look like a spaceship do not have to be hidden because they click on top of the base. The height of the base is actually an inch taller that last year’s model, but it looks and feels smaller because the space is being used more efficiently.

Dreame X30 Ultra: An In-App Map-based Robot Vacuum Vaccum Organizer for Indoor and Outdoor Environments

Do robots dream of a perfectly vacuumed floor? Dreame’s X30 Ultra has me enjoying clean floors without lifting a finger. The hybrid robot vacuum mop made an impression on us because of its self-receding mop pads and flex arm for corners and edges. Since we’re big fans of robot vacuums, I put it to the test in my kitchen and bathroom.

But unlike many other robot vacuums, you can also see what order the robot vac will go based on the numbers it assigns each room on the map, and you can reorganize the sequence in the cleaning settings under the in-app map. I had two areas of my home first and the X30 Ultra started cleaning with mopping, then returned to the base and vacuum all over the place.
