Dreame X40 Ultra: the robot vacuum cleaner that you'll definitely want to get.

I had the opportunity to try out the Dreame X40 Ultra robot vacuum, and my experience exceeded my expectations. The convenience it offers has made me not want to return to a traditional broom in my spaces. Below, I share some relevant aspects that you should consider if you are thinking of acquiring such a device.

Deep Cleaning

The Dreame X40 Ultra goes beyond being a simple vacuum designed just for sweeping. During each cleaning cycle, it also uses its mops to leave the floors spotless. This statement is not exaggerated, as both the brush and the mops have the capability to extend to reach difficult areas, such as curved corners or around furniture. Additionally, it comes with a base station that includes an innovative dual scraper. This station simultaneously cleans the mop and the surface with hot water at 70 degrees Celsius, which minimizes waste, reduces odors, and limits the need for manual cleaning, according to the manufacturer. In terms of suction power, it reaches 12,000 Pa, one of the highest on the market, ensuring that you won’t have to worry about hair or other debris on the floor.

Advanced Spatial Recognition

At first, I had my doubts about robot vacuums, as I thought they required a lot of supervision during operation. However, the Dreame X40 Ultra has changed my perspective. Its technology allows for detailed mapping and the creation of more efficient cleaning routes. Additionally, it incorporates an RGB camera and 3D structured light, enabling it to identify and avoid up to 120 types of objects, such as shoes or balls. For dark environments, a built-in LED activates, ensuring cleaning of virtually any area. This means you can start a cleaning session while you work or enjoy a series in another room. You can also set no-go zones and virtual walls to optimize its route planning.

Easy Operation

Once the Dreame X40 Ultra is mounted and set up, including its cleaning and charging station, it is operated through a mobile app available for iOS and Android. In this app, you can see the cleaning map generated by the vacuum, set restricted zones, check the status of the station (such as the levels of clean and used water, or the detergent for the mops), and the battery level. The app has certain features that could be improved, but overall it provides an intuitive experience for users who are always informed about the device’s operation and status.

Availability

In Mexico, the Dreame X40 Ultra is available on Amazon for around 29,000 pesos. Although it’s not a budget option, its quality and features justify the investment for those who can afford it.
