When it comes to cleaning hard floors, vacuuming is only half the equation — they need to be mopped too. Dreame's Aqua10 Ultra can handle both. It has an AI-powered navigation system that maps and avoids obstacles with precision, while FlexRise suspension clears thresholds and carpets up to 3.15 inches without slowing down. Voice control lets you prioritize carpets or boost suction on command, and—when the job's done—it returns to its dock to empty waste, sanitize, dry the roller, and refill with water and cleaning solution. As a result, it can handle up to 100 days of cleaning without intervention, making it ideal for busy lifestyles.
