The dream of a robot vacuum is that you can set it to clean and never have to worry about it again. The Dreame L20 Ultra comes pretty close to that goal, with a massive array of advanced features and impressive object avoidance.
As you would expect for a $2,000 vacuum, it sucks up dirt exceptionally well, and its approach to mopping is great for people who don’t love automated mopping functions.
But there are some quality issues. After a few weeks of weekday vacuuming, some tangled hair had ripped apart the rubber bars of the main brush.
It’s possible my review unit is a one-off, but it’s an issue I’ve never experienced before.
It’s a disappointment because apart from that issue, the L20 Ultra has been one of my favourite robot vacuums ever.
