Unboxing and first impression: a complete premium package
As soon as you open the box, the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller's high-end ambition is obvious. You immediately feel that you're dealing with a premium product. The docking station , imposing and heavy, gives off a reassuring impression of solidity and announces advanced features.
The package is particularly generous: additional collection bags, replacement main and side brushes, filters, and two separate cleaning solutions. One is designed for traditional areas of the home, the other for areas frequented by pets, with a formulation free of allergens and persistent odors. From the first day, you feel ready to use the device without having to buy anything, a real convenience for the demanding user.
The vacuum cleaner itself is striking for its impeccable finish. The design is functional, but the materials inspire durability and robustness, essential for an investment of this magnitude. During the first few handlings, we appreciate the lightness and maneuverability of the device despite its power and features.
Setup is a breeze: the documentation is clear, and the app efficiently guides you through the initial setup, from connecting to Wi-Fi to mapping rooms. You quickly feel like you're in complete control of the robot, ready to explore and clean your home autonomously.
From the first launch, the impression is the same: a robust, intelligent robot designed to make everyday life simpler, even in complex environments. The user experience is immediately fluid and satisfying, laying the foundation for a comprehensive test that promises to be promising.
Cleaning innovations and performance
From the first few meters, the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller shows that it's unlike any other robot vacuum. Its main roller automatically shifts to lick the baseboards, and I quickly notice that the water sprayed by its twelve nozzles is perfectly dosed. The mop cleans itself as it goes, leaving the floor spotless, a far cry from the rotating or trailing mops I'd tested on previous models.
On the carpet, a smart cover covers the rotating brush, protecting it and ensuring optimal contact with the floor. The brush itself reaches 1,000 revolutions per minute, ensuring deep cleaning even on the thickest surfaces.
In addition, the mop is designed to be easily replaceable, simplifying maintenance and extending the life of the device.
The small side arm does a surprising job: it efficiently brings dust, pet hair, and hair back to the dual-brush mouth, which cleans itself automatically. Each brush has its own motor, adjusting its height according to the floor, and the wheels allow it to overcome obstacles up to 4 cm in a single pass (8 cm in two), a significant improvement over the previous generation.
Testing the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller in a cluttered living room, I noticed that obstacle recognition is completely autonomous: I didn't have to report anything in the app. Better still, the robot assesses the level of dirt and adapts its power of 30,000 Pascals, a record in the field, making several passes over the dirtiest areas, whether dry dust or wet marks. The feeling is that of a robot vacuum cleaner that truly "understands" its environment, making cleaning precise and efficient.
Its strengths and weaknesses
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller is a robot vacuum cleaner that impresses with its innovations and performance. Like any device, it has remarkable qualities, but also some limitations that you should be aware of before purchasing.
- Ultra-intelligent navigation: thanks to Nvidia Isaac SIM technology, the robot accurately detects the thinnest objects (cables, socks, small bricks) and automatically avoids obstacles
- Record suction power: 142.65 g of dirt vacuumed in 10 min 12 on 6 m² of mixed floor (tiles and carpet), rivaling professional models
- Advanced washing system: roller kept wet by 12 sprayers, continuous and almost perfect cleaning on all surfaces
- Complete base station: automatic emptying for 90-120 days, differentiated detergent compartments, self-cleaning and robot drying
- Rich and intuitive application: total control over mapping, power, mop humidity, targeted cleaning, automatic modes and remote monitoring
- Ability to adapt: automatically adjusts power according to dirt level and manages carpets intelligently
- Simplified maintenance: easily replaceable rotating brush and mop, minimal cleaning required for daily use
- Washing can be improved for very stubborn stains: although the roller is almost perfect for everyday use, manual passage may sometimes be necessary for very ingrained dirt
- Significant investment: the price remains high, justified by the performance and features, but may put a brake on some budgets
Navigation performance: Nvidia excellence
The partnership with Nvidia isn't just a marketing ploy: it completely transforms the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller's . The vacuum cleaner no longer just navigates around furniture; it detects objects with surprising finesse. Socks, thin cables, toys that have fallen to the floor... nothing escapes its vigilance. Even small Lego bricks are dodged with surgical precision, as we saw during our tests.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller managed to avoid a Lego brick only 3.5 cm wide without ever touching it. This feat, unthinkable a few months ago, opens up new possibilities for cluttered environments, especially children's bedrooms or offices with cables and small accessories scattered around.
Automatic obstacle detection works without manual intervention: you can let the robot operate freely. However, spot checks are still recommended in very specific or heavily cluttered spaces. Another strong point: the robot adjusts its power in real time according to the level of dirt detected on the floor, whether it is light dust, crumbs or wet marks. This feature, rare on the market, is particularly effective and gives the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller intelligent cleaning autonomy, which adapts to each situation.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller station and its application
From the very first cycles, you realize that Dreame hasn't left anything to chance. The robot's dust compartment is relatively small, but the station takes over with automatic emptying that allows you to forget about the bin for 90 to 120 days: a real convenience for those who don't want to handle dust every day.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller is a concentrate of practical engineering. It has two detergent compartments: one for the classic home, the other for areas frequented by pets, with gentler solutions. From the first use, I was pleasantly surprised: the complete pack provides all the necessary accessories for the year: bags, cleaning solutions, replacement brushes, and filters. No need to search for anything, everything is ready.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller manages water with near-industrial precision: 4 L of clean water and 4.5 L for used water. After each cycle, the Aqua10 returns to its base for a thorough self-cleaning: water at 100°C and hot air drying at 70°C. Even the wet dust compartment is dried at 60°C, eliminating any residual odor or moisture. In the field, this translates to a robot that's always ready to go again, clean and hygienic.
The app experience is equally impressive. Every detail of the cleaning process can be configured: room mapping, targeted cleaning, suction power, mop moisture, and pressure applied to the floor. In the automatic "Clean Genius" mode, the robot adjusts everything intelligently, but for those who prefer control, it's possible to set priorities, schedule cycles, manage carpets (vacuum, avoid, ignore), and even activate dirt recognition or collision avoidance. The integrated camera offers a little bonus: you can take a look at the house in real time. The mapping is fully editable; partitions, ramps, and no-go areas can be added at will, transforming the robot into a truly ultra-flexible home assistant.
In practice, after several weeks of use, the impression is clear: the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller does not just clean, it anticipates, adapts and integrates perfectly into a demanding daily life.
Suction performance: the all-category champion
From the very first meters, the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller imposes its power. We tested 150g of various dirt on 6 m² combining tiles and carpet, with materials as different as thin glass, salt, sugar, rice, dust, bread crumbs and some light leaves. The result? In just 10 minutes and 12 seconds , the vacuum cleaner recovered 142.65g . Almost the entire load is sucked up, only a few particles scattered by the side brush escaped suction.
On the ground, the impression is immediate: each pass is precise and efficient. You can feel that the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller doesn't just "scrape the floor"; it actually analyzes and sucks up every single piece of debris, whether light or heavy. The side brush optimizes the passage, hairs and crumbs are perfectly channeled towards the suction inlet, and the record power makes it possible to effortlessly tackle difficult areas.
This test confirms that Dreame has not only improved the intelligence of its robot: the Aqua10 Ultra Roller also becomes a very high-performance vacuum cleaner, capable of competing with professional models in demanding conditions. In the field, it combines speed, power, and precision, and gives the impression of leaving behind an impeccably clean floor, every time.
Washing system: the roller that makes the difference
The switch to the roller system represents a major advancement over previous generations. The 12 sprayers keep the roller constantly wet, ensuring continuous and efficient cleaning on all surfaces. From the first pass, you'll notice that the roller perfectly adapts to floor variations and difficult angles, delivering a uniform and clean result.
Intensive washing tests
To assess real-life performance, we put the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller through some particularly demanding tasks:
Spreading damp soil : The roller absorbs and removes almost all the dirt, leaving only a slight residual halo on the thickest areas.
Soy sauce or other concentrated liquids : cleaning remains very satisfactory, with only small traces in very localized areas.
Daily maintenance : on dust, crumbs and usual marks, the result is impeccable: the floor appears perfectly clean and uniform after each pass.
self-cleaning system works almost perfectly for regular use. For stubborn stains, it may require an additional manual pass, but this is relatively trivial: after all, with a conventional mop, you often have to go over it several times to achieve a perfect result. The Aqua10's roller therefore remains extremely efficient for everyday use, offering fast and efficient cleaning while minimizing effort, even on the most difficult dirt.
