Dreame X40 Ultra

The Dreame X40 Ultra is the latest addition to Dreame's impressive range of robot vacuum cleaners. After testing this robot vacuum cleaner for a few weeks, we can establish that it really lives up to expectations with its advanced features and powerful performance.

With an impressive suction power of 12,000 Pa, the Dreame X40 Ultra is able to absorb even the most stubborn dirt particles. Its AI-based obstacle avoidance system, which uses RGB + 3D structured light, ensures it effectively navigates around obstacles in the home without getting stuck.

The Dreame X40 Ultra comes equipped with a variety of customizable cleaning features. The liftable and extendable side brush allows it to adapt to different floor types and clean even in hard-to-reach corners. In addition, the mop can be extended and removed for easy cleaning, and the vacuum cleaner has a self-cleaning washboard that automatically washes and dries the mop with hot water at 70°C.

The large battery capacity of 6,400 mAh means that the Dreame X40 Ultra can clean your home for a long time without needing to be recharged. Its dust container holds 300 ml, while the water tank has a capacity of 80 ml. The separate tank for clean and dirty water holds 4.5 liters and 4.0 liters, respectively, which allows it to clean large areas without interruption.

In addition to the aforementioned features, the Dreame X40 Ultra also offers the possibility of voice control, making it easy to integrate into your smart home. The function of dirt detection and rewashing of floors with multispectrum sensors ensures that your home is thoroughly cleaned. Auto tank filling and cleaning agent additive make the maintenance of the vacuum cleaner easy and convenient.

With the camera, you can easily monitor your home, either by controlling the robot vacuum cleaner itself with the app or selecting a point on the map for the robot to go to. It may not be the best camera angle because the robot rides along the floor but definitely something we use from time to time.

Dreames app is stylish and well made. Tons of features and settings are available and it's easy to get started. The base station is has a stylish reffled design with gold details and comes in black and white.

Dreame X40 Ultra is a high-performance robot vacuum cleaner that combines powerful suction capacity with intelligent cleaning functions. If you are looking for a reliable and efficient robot vacuum cleaner that can handle everything from daily cleaning to deeper cleaning, the Dreame X40 Ultra is a great choice. However, it comes with a large price tag that is not suitable for all households.

Neato Botvac D4 Connected

Neato announces that it plans to end the manufacture of its robotic vacuum cleaners. It's important to note that even if they stop producing the devices, software updates and cloud services will still be available for at least five years to come.

When we compare the Neato Botvac D4 Connected with its big brother, the Neato Botvac D7 Connected, we see clear similarities between them. They share many of the basic features and design elements. The differences lie in some specific aspects. For example, the D7 has a slightly longer operating time and is equipped with a HEPA filter. In addition, the D7 usually has a lower price compared to the D4.

This makes the choice between the Neato Botvac D4 Connected and the D7 somewhat limited. The D7 offers the advantages of longer uptime and HEPA filtration at a more favorable price. Therefore, it can be difficult to find strong reasons to choose the D4 when the D7 is available as a more affordable option.
