Box contents
Start up
Once unpacked and the transport protections removed, only we have to put the side brush on it and put it to charge.
It is recommended to locate the base in a place where the robot has enough free space to maneuver comfortably, although Thanks to the high precision with which it moves, this is not strictly necessary. In any case, it must be taken into account that the base has a certain size, since it measures 37,5 × 40 × 43 centimeters.
Once loaded, we can control it using the buttons at the top, although The ideal is to manage it through the mobile application, which in addition to being more comfortable and versatile, allows access to all its advanced functions (it is also controllable by voice commands through Alexa).
Installing the app
The application is the well-known Mi Home from Xiaomi, available for iOS and Android. Once an account is installed and created, if you do not have one, You have to add the robot, scanning the QR code, detecting it using Bluetooth or clicking the + at the top and Add device (you can go to the robot vacuum cleaners section, or search by text).
Once the installation process has started, The app itself will guide us step by step, in a simple and intuitive way; We will begin by pressing the buttons on the ends simultaneously for 3 seconds, to begin the Wifi configuration.
Once the connection is configured, We can control the robot from our mobile phone, being able to control it from anywhere and at any time., which provides great versatility.
To access some advanced functions it is necessary to have a map of the home, so The first thing we will do is a quick mapping, a function that allows the Dreame Bot W10 to quickly obtain a plan of the house, which we will see how it is generated in the application.
When finished we can edit the map, giving it a name (you can save up to 3 different maps) and modifying the rooms if we do not agree with the division you have created, also giving them a name, and creating, if we wish, restricted areas, to which the robot will not access.
Operation of the Dreame Bot W10
The Dreame Bot W10 is a new generation high-end device, with a outstanding performance in all sections, being efficient and effective both when vacuuming and scrubbing.
Navigation system
The Dreame Bot W10 navigation system is one of the most advanced on the market, and has been improved compared to previous models of the brand (which already had excellent technology).
This allows you map much faster than other devices (up to 12 times faster) and navigate accurately and efficiently in any conditions, even in total darkness.
Back detail
The laser sensor is complemented by various sensors (motion, anti-shock, anti-fall, etc.), to interact with the environment in the best way, navigating in an orderly, fluid and predictive manner, anticipating obstacles.
In addition, It has an ultrasonic sensor that allows it to detect carpets in advance, to avoid climbing on them when you are scrubbing.
Power and autonomy
Dreame has a extensive experience in creating powerful engines for your products, both for stick vacuum cleaners and for robot vacuum cleaners, with aerospace engineering techniques, and as a result of this knowledge, the W10 offers a high absorption capacity, which allows it to do a sensational job.
The Dreame Bot W10 reaches 4.000 Pascals of suction power, a figure that allows it to capture all types of dirt, dust, hair, crumbs, cereals and other heavier particles.
Like other models of the brand, Suction power can be set at different levels, so we can adapt it to the type of floor and the degree of dirt, optimizing the battery and the noise level.
The massive 6.400 mAh battery provides very long autonomy, which together with the high efficiency of its movements allows it to clean between 150 and 300 m2 (depending on the power level, the type of floor, the layout of the house and any obstacles). Of course, it has charge and continuation, so if it doesn't finish, it returns to the base and once charged, resumes cleaning where it left off to finish it.
It must also be remembered that, like other high-end robots, has automatic power on carpets, so it increases the suction by itself when placed on one, so you always get the best result with complete comfort for the user.
Brushes
In the brushes section it offers some new features. Like many models with laser-based LIDAR navigation, it has a single side brush (this is because the robot always knows where it is, where it has gone and where it has not, so it does not need two brushes like models with less advanced technologies); In this case, it has 5 arms instead of the usual 3.
In addition, The main roller is wider than usual (19,2 centimeters), so it can cover a larger area with each pass, allowing you to finish cleaning more quickly.
Brush detail
This design precisely makes it possible to adopt a wider brush, in addition to facilitate cleaning in nooks and corners, since the robot can "speed up" more in those areas.
Its size is 33,4 × 31,4 × 10,55 centimeters, similar dimensions to other robots with laser navigation, slightly taller, so you may have to measure the dimensions of the lower part of our furniture and sofas, to see if it fits.
Tank and filter
Like other similar models, Lifting the lid we find the dirt tank (and the cleaning tool), which can be easily removed by pressing the tabs in the center and pulling up.
The deposit has a 450 milliliter capacity, average for the segment, enough to completely clean a medium or large-sized home.
As is usual in this type of device, The tank has a high efficiency filter to trap microparticles inside the device, avoiding secondary contamination.
Advanced scrubbing
The scrubbing system of this model deserves a special section, and you could say that it is its reason for being. As we have noted previously, the Dreame Bot W10 It is a device with great suction power and a very sophisticated navigation system, but The most outstanding aspect is its scrubbing technology, more effective and comfortable than that of other robots.
The Dreame Bot W10 It has two rotating cloths that rotate at 180 revolutions per minute and exert a pressure of 10 N against the floor to achieve the best result when mopping., being able to capture small amounts of liquid and semi-solid dirt, and acting effectively against stains, making it very useful in homes with pets and/or small children.
Dreame Bot W10 rotary mops
We have also seen a similar system in other models.and Deebot N9 + or Yeedi Mop Station, both also with a scrubbing station and rotating mops, although the navigation system of these two devices is camera-based, less efficient and precise than that of the Dreame.
Another device that does have laser technology is the Roborock S7 Max V, which has a triple self-emptying, washing and filling base, which also allows the dirt tank to be emptied.
For greater hygiene and a better result, the robot goes to the self-wash base to clean the mops and can always mop with clean ones. It can be set to return to the base to perform this process when it has cleaned a specific surface 5, 10 or 15 m2) or do it after cleaning a room.
The dirty water generated in this washing process goes to the corresponding gray water tank., which we can empty when we consider convenient, although its large capacity allows us to forget about it for a while.
In addition, Both tanks have a gasket to make the seal more airtight. and thus avoid leaks of liquids or odors.
Moreover, Thanks to its ultrasonic sensor, it detects carpets so as not to step over it when you are scrubbing.
Ultrasonic sensor
When finished scrubbing, the robot will return to the base and perform a Complete cleaning of the mops, including drying with hot air, to avoid bad odors and the proliferation of mold and bacteria, providing even greater convenience in maintenance.
Automatic washing and drying
The Dreame Bot W10 You can mop and vacuum at the same time, or perform the functions separately (just vacuum, or just scrub).
Management of the app
Application allows access to a large amount of information and functionalities, such as:
