I ordered a X30 Ultra for $690 with 2 yr warranty refurbished from Dreame on Ebay, but then I was able to find the roborock qrevo master for $850 new with 1 yr warranty. I'm wondering if you have any opinions on the two I've gotta decide which one I want to return. Was hoping not to unbox both.
I call BS on the impartiality on this review. Every other reviewer has called out the side brush that stops when vacuuming carpets. This video shows the x30 side brush spinning but when you show the x40 on carpet, it’s sped up so you can’t tell. If I go into UA-cam’s setting and slow down the video to .25% I can confirm the side brush does not spin in your sped up video. That definitely should have been mentioned.
The side brush does not spin on carpet, but I can't confirm if it had impact on my carpet pickup performance test. Probably not in the middle of the carpet, but yes, definitely at the baseboards. I will let the brand know. I actually didn't notice it wasn't spinning, so my bad on that.
Same applies to the Tri cut brush roll. Other reviews confirm that it is useless. In this product presentation, sorry I mean "review" the brush looks like unused. So thanks for nothing
Does anyone know what laser rays does the X40 Ultra use? Because it seems most of them use LIDAR and they can cause damage to pets eyes especially because they lie on the floor so it is easy for those rays to reach their eye level.
The cleaning fluid is only to clean the mop pads it does not use that to clean the floors.

Thanks for the video! What is important for me is also 1) How high door thresholds it can pass without being stuck, and 2) How quiet it can vacuum on night mode (or “when I work at home-mode”).
1) I don’t know, but the wheels are fairly big so I’d guess about 1/2”. 2) I didn’t test noise level, but it’s not too loud in the quietest mode. If you’re in the next room you probably won’t notice it too much.
Dreame calls it cleaning solution, and the base station adds it to the water tank on the robot before it begins mopping. The detergent ends up on your floor and the mops of course.
@vacuumnerds I ordered on aliexpress the Chinese model. Dreame australia didn't help. I found a disassembly video for tge x30. Bending the front springs fixed it. I think the cut out around the camera was too tight.
It will work without internet. Ideally you’ll want internet to set it up. To control it with the app, you’ll want WiFi. I didn’t test this much, but I think you’ll be somewhat limited in the control you have without internet.
@@vacuumnerds thanks very much. I'm concerned about the privacy mainly. With the camera being on and the feed being seen without my knowledge or control.
@@adiands850You can turn off the AI obstacle avoidance setting and you can disable the real time camera. However, I haven’t spent much time testing it. If you don’t want any video, I’d suggest the X30 or maybe the Matic which does all processing on board. They’re an American company.
A useful video. Thanks. The footage of your X40 carpet pickup test was very speeded up so I couldn’t tell but other X40 reviews have shown and commented on the fact that the side brush doesn’t spin at all on carpet (I think Dreame said because they were worried about it getting tangled in high pile carpets). I think one review also said that there was an option to fix that. Did you have the side brush working for the carpet pickup and if yes then did you have to set an option to make that happen or has Dreame made some change in the firmware? My home is mostly carpeted, including into the corners of my rooms, so I really do want the side brush to be doing its stuff on my fairly low pile carpets.
The side brush was not spinning on carpets in my test. I can check the settings when I have time. I can't confirm if it makes a difference or not, but in my pickup test it picked up just about everything I put on the carpet. Will it miss some pet hair near the edges of a room? Possibly yes, but again, I didn't test for every possible scenario.
@@vacuumnerdsthank you so much! Do you think it will go under my furniture with a clearance of ~3.8” or will the X40 back out because there’s not enough spacing it requires?
Just purchased Dreame X30 direct from Dream (Oct 1 2024) for $639.99 including shipping and with two year Square Trade Guarantee. At that price, the unit is head and shoulders above the competition.
Suction is important, but overall design, brushroll and the path it takes have a bigger impact on pickup. Think of it as an integrated system. Different manufacturers have slightly different approaches.
i just got this ultra x40. How do i set the mopping pad washing frequency to every 5mins or so? The least it allows me is 10 mins. I do not want the mop pads mop for 10 mins without washing. My previous ecovacs t20 omni would let me choose 6mins.
They update the app frequently, so perhaps they will change it? You can mail or contact them via the app to request a more frequent washing. I'll let them know.
$1900 for a damn robot vacuum… my $180 ihome has been cleaning my home for years just fine…. In fact I’m about to replace its battery because it doesn’t run as long as it used to without a recharge.
I think this is the most expensive robot on the market. However, you can find discounts on every robot during sales days and near the end of a model run.

I have not tested the QRevo yet so I don’t have an opinion on it.
@@vacuumnerds are you planning to test it?
Can you compare the Dreame X40 Ultra with that of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra?🙏🏻
Cool idea!
@@vacuumnerds Thanks! I'm really hesitating between buying these two.
I up this too!
@@mstiic It will be about a month before I can do this video. These comparisons take days to write shoot and edit.

7:02 the detergent is not for floor but for washing the mops.

Wrong.
Best video on this channel yet! (I’m biased).
Thank you 😂
The front bumper does not rebound all the way and getting collision sensor error. Do you know what could be causing this? I have x40.
I would contact them or swap it out
@vacuumnerds I ordered on aliexpress the Chinese model. Dreame australia didn't help. I found a disassembly video for tge x30. Bending the front springs fixed it. I think the cut out around the camera was too tight.
this channel is so underrated
Appreciate it! Please share the videos
Does the robot need to connect to the cloud or will it work fine without the internet?
It will work without internet. Ideally you’ll want internet to set it up. To control it with the app, you’ll want WiFi. I didn’t test this much, but I think you’ll be somewhat limited in the control you have without internet.

What is the size of the base station? Am I stupid because I seem like not able to find the dimensions.
I will measure it and reply here
@@vacuumnerds thx!
@@Devian83it’s 14” wide x 18” deep (with the ramp) x 23” high

I came to the comments to say this too. This seems like a huge miss in the review.
Sorry I didn't point it out. I'll do another video to address it. I've contacted the manufacturer.
Dude your content is great! I was watching think you had like 500k subs. you def deserve more !
We're a new chanel, but we're trying hard! Please feel free to share this video.
Can you verify what the height is, including the lidar?
One source shows 97 mm, while another shows 103.8 mm.
The best I can measure is 3.75" I'm eyeballing it as I'm just using a tape measure.

The X30 is very good
The dreame x40 ultra is finally a robot vaccum that has enough suction to not need you to vaccum after it
Suction is important, but overall design, brushroll and the path it takes have a bigger impact on pickup. Think of it as an integrated system. Different manufacturers have slightly different approaches.
Can you share where you got the marble coffee table from? Thanks!
It was custom made
Will you review any Dreame stick vacuums, like the R20?
That's a great idea. I'll add those to the list.
Returning my defective x30 for this
there you go.
Sir I love your flooring ! What is the product ?
I have no idea. It came with the house. It's some type of real wood laminate.
@@vacuumnerds it’s really nice. Looks like some kind of a white oak engineered hardwood

"Can it pass over door thresholds?"
Yes
sad, not available in canada yet, only x30 here
The X30 is pretty solid. I would imagine the X40 will be available in Canada soon as they just launched it in the US.
$1900 for a damn robot vacuum… my $180 ihome has been cleaning my home for years just fine…. In fact I’m about to replace its battery because it doesn’t run as long as it used to without a recharge.
These are definitely flagship models! No one needs to spend this much. They are purely for convenience and time saving.
$1900!!! seriously!!!!
