I've been using RobotPox for a few months now, and it's truly changed the way I clean my home. The convenience it offers is unmatched - I can schedule it to clean while I'm at work, and I come back to a spotless floor every time. Not to mention, its powerful suction ensures that even pet hair and debris are picked up efficiently. It's like having a diligent little helper that never complains and always gets the job done!
Thanks you. It was so helpfull. In the end I decided to go with dreame L20U. It was out of my budget, but it was so worth it. I couldn't be happier. Cheers
Really good video homie. You provide a really well thought out and balanced analysis for each product to suit different households. Thank you once again
Thanks for the video, looking to change, currently using S7 for 3yrs+ which is driving me nuts with the bumper error, obstacle detection and water streaks. Noticed that the mopping makes my white grooves dirtier over time. Dreame looks good, shall consider.
With live camera hacker are able to hack in that for sure if they really want to do it. It is depend on the manufacture what security configuration in the firmware.
@@AlexTeo I currently own Roborock S5 Max and I'm thinking about upgrading. I think about S8 and Dreame L20. Since I do not own a big house, just 50m2 apartment, I don't need a base station with all that fancy cleaning and auto-emptying features. But I need a real improvement in mopping...
@@16klu the idea is to go total handsfree regardless of the size, switchbot is coming out a model name s10, i have not tested it but it looks promising
Its a hard one. You are comparing a flagship (L20) against the T20 and Revo 2nd tier robots, where the T20 and Revo are priced the same, and the L20 around $700 more. Would have been more "fair" to compare the L10, T20 and Revo and the L20, X2 Omni and S8 as these are each manufacturers flagship. You would expect a $2500AUD unit to beat a $1800AUD unit.. The flagship model X2 has a built in water tank, lifts higher on carpet and is square (to get closer to edges), higher suction, and without a top lidar it has a shorter height to get under things (like couches/beds). I feel like you have reviewed a Corvette, Mustang and a Lamborghini.. 😏 Great review and testing though! 👌
the tests are just to let you see the results for each of them, not comparing but rather recommending these 3. No idea how else I can name the title of the video. X2 and S8 are not there because I don't find them worth the money
Alex i remember you commenting on my FFXIV videos - i just wanted to say thank you for the video, I literally was thinking of buying a Robot Vacuum in SG, and this video was a lifesaver.
Don't think this was mentioned or reviewed but all 3 brand uses NON-reusable dust bag which cost at least $20 SGD and above from the Original Equipment Manufacturer. Sort of like paying subscription fees ($20 to $30 ) periodically every 2 to 3 months to ensure the vacuum system stays optimal. From my brief research, one can probably extend the lifespan of the NON-reusable dust bag by emptying it but eventually the bag will be clogged which affect the performance. Any chance you could test whether the system allows disposal of dust manually e.g. directly from the robot instead of having to replace the dust bag? One should also consider the lifespan of the battery and that the dust bag model may eventually be obsolete forcing you to replace the entire system perhaps every 2 to 3 years. So on top of the vacuum price of $1000 + you may well be spending an additional $200+ per year and perhaps even more for the other spare parts to upkeep the system.
have u tried eufy x10 pro . need to decide between eufy and dreame l20 . eufy x10 is at 606 $ including replacement kit and additional 10% cashback l20 is at 630
Thank you for the great review. I went ahead and got the L20 and discovered there is a preorder option right now 9/17/23 that will save you $450, got mine for $1049
Thanks for this video ! Do I understand correctly that the washing area with the L20 is now completely cleanable by removing it (like the Q Revo), which was not possible with the L10s?
Hi Alex, noted that you also keep a fluffy dog at home. I am wondering among these robot vacuums you have tested in your reviews. Which robot vacuum stands out to detect dog poop as the last thing we would want from a robot vacuum is the pet waste being splattered all over during the sweeping and mopping of the floor.
You will want premium robot vacuums with camera, in this video only the dreame L20 has it, roborock S8 and ecovacs X2 as well. But i will say dont take the chance, if your dog poop is big and nicely shaped still fine, but what if the poop is watery due to bad stomach. Another way is if your dog is potty train, you can set no-go zone for that area, just dont fully rely on AI because its not 100% foolproof
i will slot them at number 5, L10S is not designed and released with the water hookup, it seems to be more of a retrofit solution, plus the other features of what L20 brings I think its definitely more worth
Hi Alex! I bought an Ecovacs x1 after seeing your review 😂 I'm wondering if you encountered any problems with the emptying of water from the cleaning sink with any of your robots? In my case, the suction from the cleaning sink to the dirty water tank is a regular issue despite maintenance. I will probably get a new robot to replace this next year but do not wish to be faced with the same issue. Any insights? Pls share as always! Thanks!
Most likely is because your dirty water tank is not placed properly, usually the case when its empty, just exert a bit of force to make sure its properly sit in
I am having the same problem, that just started this week. T10 Omni (china version), I have a 6 year warranty/guarantee so will call them if I can't fix it through the standard ways.
We're leaving Deebot for a Roborock Q Revo. The mapping is ABYSMAL with Deebot and it seems Roborock has much better detections and mapping. Looking forward to ours arriving later this week. Dreame looks interesting but it's a bit out of our price range we want to spend and I'm not confident enough with my plumbing skills to attempt hooking it up to a water supply.
Heck I’m over hear considering the L30 bc of the mop pads extend to get my wall edges clean. If I have to spend $$$ then it better make me coffee too. 😆 Seriously though Dream has 2.0 rating on BBB. And Roborock slams the ads too much pushing their products. I like the S8+ ultra whatever but what happens when they phase these out?
@@AlexTeo Unfortunately L20 won't have its main adventage (clean water tank refilling and dirt water disposal) available in Polish disrubution of these robots. Dreame Poland just confirmed it. This is weird strategy that the same model has its features cut down on various markets.
@@Agnus78 yeah that is very unfortunate, it is probably some implications that we are not familiar with since it needs to hook up to your water piping. I am so glad that this is officially supported in Singapore
the swivel motion when mopping near a wall is an older program setting from L10s when it didnt have extend mop. You can turn off the swing motion by go to setting -> wider coverage of Edges and Corners -> toggle off. Then it will stop swinging its body when near the wall.
sorry but what you described is not available in the setting. The setting for mop extend is under setting -> Intelligent mopping setting -> AI-driven MopExtend
Thank you so much for this, Alex - super helpful! If you don't mind, could I check if this is still relevant as of July 2024, or is there a more diserable unit over the L20 that you'd prefer these days? :)
@@AlexTeo thanks Alex! Looking forward to this:) will likely be making a decision on which to go for based on your vid, save us all lots of time - thank you so much!!
For the more privacy concerned folks like me the Dreame L20 Ultra unfortunately comes with a camera and no way to operate in the event that the internet is down. In your next video on robo vacuum could you include some options for people like me and also to include some notes on home assistant integrations?
Thanks for the video, full of detail. I used a ecovacs t20 , there is a problem , it keep.stopped under the bed and it can't return home most of the time. I have to lift it up and move it back to dock. The space between the bed and floor have around 20cm which should able to come back and I do in the morning with a lot of sun light in the room. I have returned. Now , T20 is cheaper then what I brought, T20 is $899 , Revo is $999, USD. Should I try the revo?
Hi Alex, great video. Any updated recommended robot vacuum suggestions given it’s 8 months later now? Both the best/value for money wise. Thanks in advance!
auto water hookup is my number 1 must have feature so i feel it's worth the money, else i don't find value getting the highest end flagship models unless there is a nice discount
Hi Alex, great content! I've decided to purchase Dreame L20 after watching your video. Do you know the minimum height to allow the opening of the cover for under table or sink installation? Planning to put the base station under my desk.
Going off the robot vacuum topic here, am wondering if Alex or any viewers have a recommendation for air purifier. I keep seeing ads for Sterra Moon but haven’t really dived into my research. Hoping to hear some recommendations/ feedback to help narrow down my search. My basic research tells me we actually just need one with a HEPA filter & activated charcoal, all the other bells & whistles are totally unnecessary (unproven) & may even ironically pollute our earth. But any first hand experience with how much area a specific brand/ model can cover, difference you can physically feel, easy of cleaning, noise level & energy consumption will be great!
Th DreameBot L10 Ultra is stilla good choice. But a question: in the L20 Ultra you stated -Install and forget- but you still have to clean it once a month? And how about the base? How dirty will it be? Or has it a method to clean autonomingly?
the necessary maintenance work can be performed just once per month, ie. clean sensors, clean base, clean filter, remove entangled hair, change dust bag
i will say there is no specific requirement because you can always get a suitable adapter separately, maybe just water pressure being between 0.14MPa and 1MPa which i think 90% of the people won't have issue
Hi Alex, for the L20 Ultra is the installation with the water hookup kit simple enough to be done by ourselves or would it be better to go through their installers?
I will still get a handheld vacuum for adhoc, specific cleaning with those attachments like crevice tool. For mopping i still do steam mopping once a while for deep cleaning
Not sure if you mentioned it in this or previous reviews: Can you define different areas for dry vs. wet cleaning, or do they decide on their own based on type of floor (carpet, wood or tiles...)
After your review I'm conflicted between the qrevo and l20. l20 is $350 more than qrevo though. in your opinion for a small 68sqm 3rm hdb, which would you recommend? Would prefer hot water washing.
@@AlexTeo no problem, pulled the trigger on the qrevo maxv since it was 300+ cheaper than the x30 without the features i didnt really need like removable mop and auto soap dispenser and less 1000pa & no hair cutter. Consider it somewhat superior to dreame l20 since it has hot water washing and a good 1 piece base for easy cleanning.
Will u be doing a more detailed review of the L20. Esp on the auto water kit and any pre-requisites for its installation? e.g. service yard location etc..
Hi Alex I have been enjoying your videos v much. Thank you for your info. Question. Ecovacs t20 model you mentioned here, hot mopping meaning hot water washing the mops or hot water mopping the floor all the way? Kindly advise. Thank you 😊
Great review and tips mate, keep up the good work. But, Why did you exclude L10S Ultra, would you explain? I will buy one and my budget is tight, just as much to get a Q Revo or L10S Ultra, which are equally priced in my country. Should I go with Q Revo?
simply because it's not in my top 3. L10S is probably the cheapest model that is able to hook up to water pipes, but if you are not going to implement that then go for Q Revo
@@spvn same here cos Dreame SG only just started selling the L10s with water kit in June & I bought it straightaway. Who knows the new model is out within 3 months 😢🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Sorry, i want to ask you one question. I have Ecovacs X1 OMNI (i bought this on October 2022), I see that there are some new beautiful features (obviously, because is new) in Dreame L20, but the question is: you recommend me to buy Dreame L20 to substitute my Ecovacs or doesn’t make sense? Thank you!
@@AlexTeo In Amazon the X1 Omni white is €800… i think that if i want to sell it, the price must be like €400! I don’t know if make sense, because the Dreame’s price is €1300. What do you say?
Thanks Alex this is great,! If i do the auto cleaning water kit, how often do i need to remove the dirty water filter? once a month? i am trying to put this under my kitchen sink, and wonder whether he can work with just 80cm and ocassionally pull the base out for detergent refill and dirty water filter change.
Which should I get? The T20 omni (1000$ on sale on amazon), the Roborock Q revo (1000 on sale on amazon) or the Dreame L10s ultra (1100 on sale on amazon)? Would really appreciate your help!
Looking at your "cons" for the Robotic Revo Q, I wonder if you found the place in the App that the clean settings can be customized for each room. That is, set for each room: vacuum only, mop only, or both vacuum and mop. (The cleaning customization settings are not easy to find in the app.)
@@AlexTeo Yes, but the Roborock App does a poor job of showing you how to customize. First, "Enter" your device. Below the map, select "rooms"; then select the "S" shaped icon in the lower right. Now select "Customize"; select "Edit"; and select a room. From the menu, select the cleaning modes and cleaning action you desire, select the check mark to save; the map will now show a symbol in each room for the custom mop/vacuum action you have pre-programmed. Now, when you go about cleaning, I believe the mop/vacuum action will be per this customization.
@AlexTeo the L20 ultra with water kit attached. Even for water dispensers we need to change filters yearly. I am not sure if the refilled water will eventually be so dirty that it defeats the purpose of using it to clean 😂
Awsome review! Regarding the L20s, does the dirty water drainer have a pump? Because my drain is above ground around 30cm, you think it will work or only uses the force of gravity?
i think in your next video of robot vacuum comparison, you can compare various premium models i.e roborock S8 pro ultra and also simulating a dog poop (wet the finished brown toilet roll holder) will be great! sometimes the robot vacuum company promotes how much can it detect a pet's mess but the robot vacuum still runs over it...
From my experience it depends on your dog size and whether their poop looks like a poop haa, big dog still ok but small dogs better dont take the chance. Next time if i pass by toy shop will keep a lookout haa
Not looking to buy a robot vacuum but enjoyed watching your video and how thorough it is in helping buyers make the most informed decision!
How i wish everyone is like u 😂
Then don't occupy the comments. This is serious stuff.
Will be great to see a comparison video of the L10 and L20!

This is by far the best innovation in the robot vacuum sector. Dreame is definitely overtaking roborock
yeah seems like its moving that direction
There are people who bought the dreame L20 and then watched your video. I'm one of them, and I'll say I'm glad to hear dreame is your robot of choice.
one thing to watch out for if you are not keen on privacy security , L20 is the only with live camera.
With live camera hacker are able to hack in that for sure if they really want to do it. It is depend on the manufacture what security configuration in the firmware.
Live video won’t affect me. My robot running when nobody at home.
Dreame is on a ROLL currently. The circular pads are the new hot tech, dropping them off the vacuum beats raising them higher too!
Are you trying to say that spinning mopping is better than sonic mopping (like in e.g. Roborock S8)? Just curious which system is superior :)
i prefer spinning, not a fan of a piece of cloth
@@AlexTeo I currently own Roborock S5 Max and I'm thinking about upgrading. I think about S8 and Dreame L20. Since I do not own a big house, just 50m2 apartment, I don't need a base station with all that fancy cleaning and auto-emptying features. But I need a real improvement in mopping...

Hi. May I know if you installed the Dreame in your service yard? Did you manage to leave sufficient space in front (1.5m)?
it's not exactly full clearance, i tested many robot vacuums so i kinda know how much space it really require
@@AlexTeo Thank you!
Concise yet very thorough and knowledge friendly for layman-consumer understanding. Thank you so much again, Alex.

It doesn't clean the floor with hot water and the dreame puts water in the tray too if you hold the home button
What is the most recommended vacuum robot without base station? My house doesn't have enough space to accommodate the station
can check out the switchbot S10
Th DreameBot L10 Ultra is stilla good choice. But a question: in the L20 Ultra you stated -Install and forget- but you still have to clean it once a month? And how about the base? How dirty will it be? Or has it a method to clean autonomingly?
the necessary maintenance work can be performed just once per month, ie. clean sensors, clean base, clean filter, remove entangled hair, change dust bag
Hey! Would you recommend the L20 or the X30 ultra?
i would be checking out the X40 ultra this year before sharing my thoughts
Hi Alex, may I know what is the requirement for the water outlet connection? What type of fitting and size requires?
i will say there is no specific requirement because you can always get a suitable adapter separately, maybe just water pressure being between 0.14MPa and 1MPa which i think 90% of the people won't have issue
Hi! Is it possible to set Roborock Q Revo to vacuum, for example, every day, but mopping only once a week? THanks
yup you can
For the L20 did you purchase with installation service? Or it is easy to install ownself?
Yes i did get the installation service because i am doom if i screw up everything and flood the kitchen. But the next one i will be able to diy
Hi Alex, for the L20 Ultra is the installation with the water hookup kit simple enough to be done by ourselves or would it be better to go through their installers?
this is subjective, download the instruction manual then you decide for yourself
Considering these robos now do everything, is it still necessary to get separate vacuum and mop?
I will still get a handheld vacuum for adhoc, specific cleaning with those attachments like crevice tool. For mopping i still do steam mopping once a while for deep cleaning
@@AlexTeo that makes sense, haha thank you!
Not sure if you mentioned it in this or previous reviews: Can you define different areas for dry vs. wet cleaning, or do they decide on their own based on type of floor (carpet, wood or tiles...)
on room level yes
@@AlexTeo Dos that mean that if I have a rug in the middle of a room that I want to keep dry, I have to set it up as a "room"?
I couldn’t find Jimmy T20 robot online. Please give me a link.
great review ! are u living in singapore?
Yup yup
Any recommendation for vacuum with self empty dust bag. Mopping not required
can consider samsung jetbot
After your review I'm conflicted between the qrevo and l20. l20 is $350 more than qrevo though.
in your opinion for a small 68sqm 3rm hdb, which would you recommend? Would prefer hot water washing.
both doesnt have hot water washing, have to look at other models
@@AlexTeo no problem, pulled the trigger on the qrevo maxv since it was 300+ cheaper than the x30 without the features i didnt really need like removable mop and auto soap dispenser and less 1000pa & no hair cutter.
Consider it somewhat superior to dreame l20 since it has hot water washing and a good 1 piece base for easy cleanning.
Will u be doing a more detailed review of the L20. Esp on the auto water kit and any pre-requisites for its installation? e.g. service yard location etc..
Unlikely, just need a water source, a water drain and power outlet
I think your comparison of Roborock Q revo vs Ecovacs T20 omni is the only honest review on youtube. Others review seem paid
Hi Alex I have been enjoying your videos v much. Thank you for your info. Question. Ecovacs t20 model you mentioned here, hot mopping meaning hot water washing the mops or hot water mopping the floor all the way? Kindly advise. Thank you 😊
hot water washing, there is no internal tank on the T20
Great review and tips mate, keep up the good work.
But,
Why did you exclude L10S Ultra, would you explain?
I will buy one and my budget is tight, just as much to get a Q Revo or L10S Ultra, which are equally priced in my country.
Should I go with Q Revo?
simply because it's not in my top 3. L10S is probably the cheapest model that is able to hook up to water pipes, but if you are not going to implement that then go for Q Revo
How would you compare the L20 vs L10s ultra? Worth upgrading after the price drops a bit? (apart from the water kit)
yes the edge cleaning is really niceeee, and able to dock the pads if you got high pile carpets
@@AlexTeo D: Heart pain. I just bought 2 months ago only the L10s around $1100... haha thanks for the reply
@@spvn same here cos Dreame SG only just started selling the L10s with water kit in June & I bought it straightaway. Who knows the new model is out within 3 months 😢🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Sorry, i want to ask you one question. I have Ecovacs X1 OMNI (i bought this on October 2022), I see that there are some new beautiful features (obviously, because is new) in Dreame L20, but the question is: you recommend me to buy Dreame L20 to substitute my Ecovacs or doesn’t make sense? Thank you!
If you can do the water hookup then i will definitely say yes, else i will see how much i can resell the x1 first
@@AlexTeo In Amazon the X1 Omni white is €800… i think that if i want to sell it, the price must be like €400! I don’t know if make sense, because the Dreame’s price is €1300. What do you say?
Any recommendations for a good vacuum only robot?
Samsung jetbot
Is it manageable without the 95cm height clearance for detergent refill?
around 80 is enough but you also need to remove the dirty water filter
Thanks Alex this is great,!
If i do the auto cleaning water kit, how often do i need to remove the dirty water filter? once a month?
i am trying to put this under my kitchen sink, and wonder whether he can work with just 80cm and ocassionally pull the base out for detergent refill and dirty water filter change.
Which should I get? The T20 omni (1000$ on sale on amazon), the Roborock Q revo (1000 on sale on amazon) or the Dreame L10s ultra (1100 on sale on amazon)? Would really appreciate your help!
if its your first robot vacuum and none of the pros and cons mentioned matters then get the Q revo
Hi Alex, now that Dreame is releasing a X30 Ultra model, wondering if you can do a comparison between L20 vs X30 & whether it is worth the upgrade?
will consider doing that video, there is the X30 master which I will definitely be doing a review for that
Hello! Just want to check if you build a ramp at the service yard area for the dreame to go up?
There is a ramp but its there by default!
Looking at your "cons" for the Robotic Revo Q, I wonder if you found the place in the App that the clean settings can be customized for each room. That is, set for each room: vacuum only, mop only, or both vacuum and mop. (The cleaning customization settings are not easy to find in the app.)
i explained about this and show the screens at 10:47, so is there a way to set number of cleaning cycles for each room?
@@AlexTeo Yes, but the Roborock App does a poor job of showing you how to customize. First, "Enter" your device. Below the map, select "rooms"; then select the "S" shaped icon in the lower right. Now select "Customize"; select "Edit"; and select a room. From the menu, select the cleaning modes and cleaning action you desire, select the check mark to save; the map will now show a symbol in each room for the custom mop/vacuum action you have pre-programmed. Now, when you go about cleaning, I believe the mop/vacuum action will be per this customization.
Hi Alex, do you feel there's a need to clean the water tank due to potential algae/bacteria growth?
you mean for which model?
@AlexTeo the L20 ultra with water kit attached.
Even for water dispensers we need to change filters yearly. I am not sure if the refilled water will eventually be so dirty that it defeats the purpose of using it to clean 😂
@@roy7944 why you compare it to a water dispenser instead of washing machine haa
Hi I'm looking to get the T20. Can I check if you are able to add my own floor detergent to the T20 base station?
of course you can but you need to know what's ok what's not
Hi Thanks you the video is very useful. Where in Singapore can I buy or have a look one of this devices? Is there any extra shop? Or only lazada?
shopee or lazada, some of them might be available in large mega electronic stores like harvey norman, courts, gain city
Wonder whats the best vaccum a year later. :)
you will see that video in oct!
Heard online that the dust bag is damp after few rounds of vaccum + mop. Is that true? Did u use the vaccum + mop mode or vaccum then mop? TIA
no issue with any of these 3 robots
Awsome review!
Regarding the L20s, does the dirty water drainer have a pump? Because my drain is above ground around 30cm, you think it will work or only uses the force of gravity?
it supports wall drain of less than or equal 38cm, the manual states that this will require a part that needs to be purchased separately though
@@AlexTeo Thank you so much for taking the time to check the manual!
@@FilipeRaposoo np haa, just nice i had it beside me
Is battery life an issue for Dreame? Saw a number of users with this issue after 1 year of usage 🤔
this will apply more to ecovacs vs dreame
i think in your next video of robot vacuum comparison, you can compare various premium models i.e roborock S8 pro ultra and also simulating a dog poop (wet the finished brown toilet roll holder) will be great! sometimes the robot vacuum company promotes how much can it detect a pet's mess but the robot vacuum still runs over it...
From my experience it depends on your dog size and whether their poop looks like a poop haa, big dog still ok but small dogs better dont take the chance. Next time if i pass by toy shop will keep a lookout haa
Unrelated to the video but can you talk about Matter devices and ecosystem with regards to the Singapore market?
Hi Alex, 6 months later, how is the Dreame L20?
awesome!
Thanks for the detailed review. I really like the Dreame L20. Seems like white is not available in Singapore? Can’t find it anywhere.
hmm no idea, probably out of stock
Love this video. Thanks Alex!
Thanks for the support!
Hey Alex, if im not planning to buy the hook up kit would you still recommend the dreame over the others? (Ignoring price)
if you are ignoring price then yes I will recommend, L20 is the best in 2023
I don't mind buying one. Not sure if it can navigate stairs
maybe another few more years
