Start up

As usual, the robot comes well packaged and protected, with all its components organized and well wrapped. Practically the only work that needs to be done is to fit the base of the charging station with its body and remove some stickers and protections for transport; The base has two bags inside, one already placed for operation.

We are looking for a location for the base, preferably in a central area of the house and where there is good Wi-Fi coverage., with free space around (as orientation, 0,5 meters to the sides and 1,5 meters forward), although, thanks to the extraordinary precision displayed by the DreameBot L20 Ultra, this is not strictly necessary.

The robot comes partially charged, but it is advisable to fully charge it before putting it to work for the first time. It has fast charging, and its large 6.400 mAh battery provides a great autonomy, up to 260 minutes.

As usual, It also has loading and continuation, so if it doesn't finish, it returns to the base to charge and then resumes cleaning where it left off, to finish it.

The robot is manageable using the buttons on the top, through voice commands (compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri) and through a mobile app, the application being the best way to take full advantage of its advanced functions.

Installing the app

The app is the brand's own, called Dreamehome, and is available for free for iOS and Android. It is possible that, like other devices from the firm, it will also be enabled for Xiaomi's Mi Home, although at the time of this review it was not yet available; In any case, both offer similar functionalities and operation.

Once the app is installed, we will create an account with an email and we will simply have to scan to read the robot's QR code, or click Add, where we can choose the model; From there, you simply have to follow the steps proposed by the application itself, in a simple and intuitive way.

When carrying out this first connection process, It is advisable to place both the robot and the mobile phone near the router, to promote connectivity; The connection frequency is 2,4 GHz, so if your router is dual, you should choose this one, and not the 5 GHz one (which will say 5G or something similar). In just a couple of minutes, you will have the robot connected.

Once we have the robot connected, we will get access to a wide variety of information and functionalities. This way of handling it also offers great versatility, since we can start it whenever we want and wherever we are.

To use some functions it is necessary to have a saved home plan (The DreameBot L20 Ultra can store multiple maps, making it compatible with duplexes and other multi-story homes, as well as cleaning different houses.)

Therefore, it The first thing we will do is map the home., starting this work with the robot in the charging base, and leaving the doors open for it to access the rooms.

When finished, we can save the map, give it a name and edit its configuration, modifying the divisions (dividing or merging) and giving the rooms a name to identify them.

How the DreameBot L20 Ultra works

The DreameBot L20 Ultra is a high-end robot, which seeks to combine great efficiency in cleaning with maximum comfort, thanks to the complete automation of tasks, reducing them to a minimum, resulting in ideal for those looking for effectiveness and comfort and who want the best robot vacuum cleaner on the market.

Super automatic base

One of the aspects that robot vacuum cleaner manufacturers have worked most on in recent years, and especially in the high-end range, is automated operation., not only the cleaning process itself, but also the maintenance.

Robots like the successful Roomba i7 + They started the path, with the self-emptying of the tank, and later the advances have also reached the area of scrubbing, and now The DreameBot L20 Ultra introduces new improvements that put it one step ahead of the competition.

Inside the base

Next, let's review everything this device is capable of doing To increase user comfort:

automatic emptying: The automatic base includes a bag inside, functioning as a kind of vacuum cleaner that sucks dust from the robot's internal tank, without the user having to intervene.

The bag has a large capacity, 3,2 liters (slightly larger than the brand's top-of-the-range L10s Ultra, which has 3 liters), so provides autonomy in this aspect of 60-75 days.

Water refill: The automation of the scrubbing process begins with refilling water; The base has two tanks, one for clean water and the other for dirty water, with 4,5 and 4 liters of capacity, respectively.

Thus, The robot is not limited by its internal tank when scrubbing, since it can fill it using the tank on the base., allowing you to scrub large surfaces without running out of water.

Replenishing cleaning solution: Dreame has created a detergent solution and the base has a tank for it, so that this process is also automated, to achieve the cleanest and brightest floors.

Cleaning the mops: The clean water in the tank is also used to wash the mops automatically, at the end of the mopping process or in the middle of it if necessary, so it is always mopped with clean water and the mop, and the user does not have to clean them when finished, as happens with other more basic robots.

Drying the mops: At the end of the cleaning, the mops are dried with hot air for 2 hours, to prevent the proliferation of bacteria and bad odors; The robot is ready for the next job, without the user having to do anything.

Professional scrubbing

Another aspect in which this robot is at the forefront is the scrubbing section; The first multifunction robots were limited to using a wet mop (something many entry-level and mid-range models still do), but machines like the DreameBot L20 Ultra go much further.

In addition to aspects such as those reviewed above (such as auto refilling, washing and drying of the mops), this model offers various advantages in scrubbing:

Their rotary mops do a better job of cleaning stains, and have a finish with silver ions, with antibacterial properties.

The mops can be self-elevated by 10,5 millimeters, the highest figure in the industry (other models have self-raising, between 5 and 7 millimeters), which allows the robot to go over short and medium pile carpets with the mops on, without wetting them, and to return to the base without wetting the ground.

Additionally, The DreameBot L20 Ultra includes a new technology that allows you to release the mops and leave them on the base, which is useful if you have to go over deep pile carpets to vacuum them.

Clean Genius: Thanks to its sophisticated equipment, this model incorporates Clean Genius technology, which allows detect the level of dirt in an area to clean it with intensive scrubbing, make two passes if necessary, and control the level of dirt on the mops to wash them again when necessary.

Mop Extend Technology: The Dreame L20 Ultra is equipped with a kind of robotic arm; Now the mop is no longer placed in a static place, but automatically expands when it detects corners and edges, for better cleaning of these places where dirt usually accumulates.

DreameBot L20 Ultra: Automatic refill and drain

The global launch of this model includes several versions. In Spain the L20 Ultra and the L20 Ultra Complete have been launched. The difference is the accessory kit included in the Complete version, since this model includes 3 filters, 3 bottles of cleaning solution, 2 side brushes and 12 mops (6 pairs), equipment so you don't have to worry about anything. The difference in cost (which would be the price of this kit) is 100 euros.

Additionally, a version with an automatic filling and draining kit can be purchased, a solution that takes the automation of the process to levels not previously dreamed of., and which Dreame, living up to its name, has put into practice.

The refill and drain kit allows you to connect two tubes, one to receive clean water and the other to empty dirty water, so we also managed to automate this part, the user does not even have to refill the clean water tank or empty the dirty water container.

Suction power

The protagonist of this analysis includes a powerful digital engine and Vormax technology of the brand, to provide a unique absorption capacity, which allows it to offer extremely high effectiveness in any situation.

The DreameBot L20 Ultra reaches 7.000 Pascals of power, a figure that places it at the forefront of the segment (30% above its predecessor, the L10s Ultra), capturing all types of particles with great efficiency: dust, lint, hair, crumbs, sand, cereals, dirt and other heavier elements.

As usual, We can select the most appropriate power based on the needs of each moment, and it has Turbo Carpet, so we do not have to worry about the type of floor: the robot itself increases the power when it is placed on a carpet, to always obtain the best result, with total comfort for the user.

In addition, Brushless digital motor minimizes friction, so the noise level is very contained, with the noise level at 63 decibels.

Brushes

As is common in many high-end robots, The DreameBot L20 Ultra includes a single side brush, in this case with 3 arms, with a studied design that allows it to capture dirt towards the center, doing a good job in nooks and corners; He doesn't need two because, thanks to his sophisticated navigation system, he always knows where he is, where he has passed and where he hasn't, and how he is oriented.

The central brush is another highlight of this model, contributing to cleaning effectiveness. It's a Rubber brush with a V-shaped design, which minimizes tangles, which increases efficiency and reduces maintenance.

Anti-tangle brush

Navigation system

As it could not be less in a robot aspiring to be the best device on the market, The DreameBot L20 Ultra navigation system is very advanced, complementing its complete set of sensors with great processing capacity and elements of Artificial Intelligence to always obtain the most appropriate behavior depending on the environment.

In addition to sensors such as the usual anti-shock or anti-fall sensors, it includes aspects such as carpet detection and especially, the set consisting of its laser sensor, 3D structured light and AI Action camera with lighting:

The laser sensor provides extremely high precision in mapping and navigation of the robot, which is fluid, orderly and predictive (by having several meters of range, the robot anticipates obstacles) and can be done in dark conditions.
3D structured light still provides Greater precision and help the object identification.
The camera system integrates with artificial intelligence to identify dozens of objects (up to 55, depending on the brand), allowing you to better interact with the space around you, even in complex environments.
Also has automatic lighting, which lights up when in dark situations, so you can identify objects regardless of lighting conditions.

object detection

The camera can be used to see our home (Real-time Camera)*, which can be useful in certain situations (for example, to see if we have left a door closed, to check on the pets...).

* As the app itself already indicates, Dreame has the cybersecurity certificate issued by the prestigious independent institute TÜV, so there is no need to worry about the images collected in this regard.

Remote home monitoring

The app, full of advantages

Management through the application allows us to define everything to our liking, obtaining access to a wide variety of information and functionalitiesAmong other things, we can:

Start the robot, pause it and send it to the charging base.
See how the robot cleans in real time, the cleaned surface and the remaining autonomy.
Define robot cleaning parameters, such as suction power, cleaning order or number of passes.
Establish what we want to clean (the entire house, or specific rooms or areas) And why not, marking prohibited areas, which the device will not access (such as the room where a baby sleeps or the pet feeder).
Manage maps.
Define How will the robot act on the carpets?.
Use Clean Genius, so that the robot develops cleaning plans intelligently, and this way it doesn't even have to be the user themselves who defines how to clean.
