Start up
As is usual in this type of device, the F9 comes partially loaded, but It is advisable to fully charge it before using it for the first time..
Subsequently, it will take between 3 and 4 hours to fully charge it, providing the robot with a great autonomy, up to 150 minutes, enough to clean large surfaces on a single charge.
The charging base will preferably be located in a central location in the house., and in an area where you have room to maneuver. It is advisable to have at least one meter of space on each side and forward, although it is not essential, since its navigation system is quite precise, so it can move adequately even if it does not have too much space.
To start the robot, you can use the button at the top, although It is advisable to use the application, which allows access to advanced features.
Dreame F9 operation
Navigation and mapping system
The Dreame F9 has a advanced V-SLAM Pioneer 2.0 navigation system, based on a TOF (Time of Fly) optical sensor on the top, capable of capturing up to 30.000 points per second to represent spaces, which together with its 14 sensors allows it to properly plan the route and move well in complex areas.
The F9 has a powerful hardware to process this information in real time, with an ARM Cortex A7 processor, an ARM M4 and an ARM Mali400, which allow you to build an intelligent dynamic map and calculate the route 50 times per second, to overcome possible obstacles and cover up to 100% of the surface to be cleaned.
The TOF optical sensor can detect objects and shapes (such as door frames) and is complemented by a dual gyroscope, which controls the movements of the robot from the charging station, allowing it to establish its position. It also has 8 infrared sensors that help detect obstacles and navigate in low-light environments.
Thanks to this combination of technologies, the Dreame F9 can build the home map and include advanced functions, such as loading and continuing, cleaning by room or creating restricted areas.
The Dreame F9 can recognize the rooms, which will be shown on the map in different colors, for easier viewing, and to which an identifying icon can be assigned (to indicate, for example, if it is a bedroom or a bathroom). Subsequently, you can indicate which rooms are to be cleaned and in what order.
Cleaning is systematic and orderly, the robot tracing large straight lines in the shape of an S or Z. The navigation is intelligent, and The robot learns as it goes around the house more times, so that it is able to clean more quickly after several cleanings.
Power
Its powerful Nidec brushless motor, of Japanese origin, allows it to reach a suction power of 2.500 Pascals., which places it in the high range of the ladder, above several of the best-selling high-end robots on the market, including some that also belong to the Xiaomi ecosystem, which are around 2.000.
This high suction capacity allows you to perform a excellent work on all types of surfaces, both hard floors and rugs and carpets. In addition, it is capable of overcoming obstacles up to 2 centimeters high, so carpets of a certain thickness are not a problem.
The Dreame F9 has 4 power levels, so that you can choose the most appropriate one depending on the needs of the moment and the level of noise that you want to make, since at the lowest level, it can be enough for daily cleaning and is quite quiet.
Brushes
The F9 has a multifunction central brush that combines rubber and bristles. 0,1 millimeter flexible microfiber, offering a good density that allows you to obtain good performance on all types of surfaces, helping to capture fine dust, at the micron level, and to descale the dirt found between the hairs of the carpets.
Brush detail
For its part, High speed side brush rotates at 190 revolutions per minute (more than three times per second) to increase cleaning efficiency.
Autonomy
The lithium battery has a large capacity, and is also an old acquaintance of the robots in the Xiaomi universe. With 5.200 mAh capacity, it provides a great autonomy of up to 150 minutes, which according to the manufacturer could clean up to 250 square meters (in practice, it cleans more than one square meter per minute, a figure that is very good, on the other hand).
As if this wasn't enough, Dreame robot features charging and continuation- When it has less than 20% battery left, it will return to the base and, once it reaches 80%, it will resume cleaning where it left off.
Loading and continuing
Integrated
Although it has an intelligent navigation system, since it does not have laser navigation it does not include the classic turret that protrudes from the robot, so it has a quite stylized design, 8 centimeters high, which allows it to get under furniture where others do not fit.
On the other hand, the suspension system and the wheels with a studied design allow you overcome obstacles up to two centimeters, and also includes a washable high-efficiency filter, for greater comfort and hygiene.
The tank offers a good capacity, one of the highest in the category, with 600 milliliters, so it does not have to be emptied so often (an operation that, on the other hand, is easy to perform).
Advanced features through the app
The well-known Xiaomi Mi Home app allows you to control the robot remotely, so that we can manage it whenever we want and from anywhere: on the street, from work, in a cafe, etc.
As well allows you to program the robot so that it works on the days we want and at the hours we decide, so that when we get home we always have it clean.
The application allows access to various advanced features, and its installation is very simple; You simply have to go to the corresponding store (it is available for iOS and Android), install it, and once inside the app, search for "Dreame F9." From there, the application itself will guide us step by step.
The Wi-Fi network must be 2,4 GHz, so you should take this into account if you have a dual router, and choose this one, and not the 5 GHz one (which will say 5G or similar).
To access some advanced features, special/experimental features may need to be enabled.

Very good,
I would appreciate knowing if the battery from a Dreame F9 can be used in a Mijia 1C robot.
Regards!
Hi Alin, thanks for stopping by.
Although they are very similar robots, one of the main differences is precisely the battery, which has a higher capacity in the case of the Dreame, so we cannot say if this exchange can be made in this case.
All the best
Great, thanks for the encouragement and feedback, we are very happy 🙂
All the best
Hello, Alberto, thank you for visiting our website.
Yes, it is true, there have been many new developments in recent months and sometimes it is difficult to choose. We think that it is the same model, in this brand we can sometimes see a "last name" for the device (such as the V10 Boreas, or the V11 Mistral), but the characteristics are the same, and on the manufacturer's own website we do not see that there are two different variants.
All the best
Thanks for the response and the reviews, for those of us who have no idea, they help us a lot 🙂
Hola!
I'm crazy about so many models... How crazy! In the end I ended up hesitating between the Xiaomi 1C and this Dreame V9... But I think that in the end the V9 will fall.
But on Amazon I have seen that there are two different models… The V9 and the V9 Mistral which costs a little more… What differences are there?
Hello, Héctor, thank you for coming to our website.
We are sorry, we do not know what could happen to him, it is certainly very strange; Clean it carefully, especially the sensors (top, side and bottom of the robot) with a soft, hair-free microfiber cloth, just in case. If it doesn't work for you, it's best to contact the seller.
All the best
Good afternoon.
I have started the device 4 or 5 times, but it cannot create a map that resembles my home. The drawing of the map is herratic and with few lines that can resemble a hallway, room, or something similar. I have reset it on 2 occasions. I start it again and the same thing, it generates a map that has nothing to do with anything, even different from the one made on the previous occasion. I do it with the entire house completely illuminated, and it indicates that it has completed 200 square meters, and the house has 110... and it runs out of battery and does not know how to return to the base, it itself indicates that we take it manually.
I have factory reset it, deleted it and configured it again in the Mi Home APP, but nothing, it remains the same, what's more, it doesn't even make S or Z shapes when vacuuming, it goes up and down in a disorderly manner, He even returns 2 or 3 times to rooms he has already been to and doesn't know how to get out. It's all very strange.
Do you know why it can happen?
Thank you very much
Hello, Josder, thank you for coming to our website and for your words of encouragement!
Either of the two is an excellent option and they are working very well, now, if you have seen the V2 Pro for 220 euros, which is a fantastic price, we believe that it is the best option, for very little difference you have laser navigation, which at After all, it is the most precise system, used in surgery, aeronautics, architecture...
In favor of the Dreame you would have to say that it is more powerful (although at these levels, the difference is not very relevant), it has more autonomy (although they have charging and continuation and they will clean the entire house, if your home is very large and you prefer the finish at once, you could take this into account) and that its profile is lower, 8 centimeters compared to 9,45 (in case you have sofas or furniture with low height).
All the best
I wanted to say that you do an excellent job, very good analysis and comparisons. By the way, ask if this dreame f9 at 200 euros would be a better purchase than the Xiaomi V2 pro at 220 euros? Thank you very much and success!
Hello Alba, thank you for visiting us.
Due to the power it has, the large capacity tank and the mop+scrubbing, it is very interesting for homes with pets, especially if they have short hair. If they have long hair, perhaps you would be interested in taking a look at a model of Conga, such as the Conga 1790 Titanium, which includes a specific anti-tangle brush.
All the best
Hello. Is this robot suitable for pet hair?
Hello, thank you for coming to our website.
These two robots are very similar, and according to the distributor, the spare parts would be the same as those of the Vacuum 1C.
All the best
Dreame F9 spare parts.
Hello, I bought this robot and I am delighted, but I am having problems finding replacements for the side brushes and HEPA filter.
Do you know where they can be purchased? Are any other models compatible? I have seen that the xiaomi 1C is almost identical but I don't dare buy them because it won't fit later
