Dreame Technology is the next robot vacuum maker you should know about

Dreame Technology has announced the launch of a dream team of household cleaning appliances, just in time for spring cleaning (the products will be available in May).

In a market saturated by many players, Dreame Technology looks to follow a path similar to that of other home life companies like Eufy and Roborock — both of which first saw success by delivering ultra-affordable robot vacuums. With the launch of these new products, Dreame Technology is positioning itself as the next robot vacuum maker you should be aware about.

The Dreame Bot L10 Pro is Dreame’s new robot vacuum and mop in one. With incredibly powerful suction, a brushless motor from Nidec, and four different suction modes, the L10 Pro should be able to handle any cleaning situation it comes across during its 2.5 hour runtime. The L10 Pro uses 3D environment mapping for improved navigation, as well as intelligent object recognition and avoidance. In other words, no more rescuing the robot vac from that ledge it somehow got caught on.

The L10 Pro can be controlled through Amazon Alexa, while its standard app allows you to plan routes and clean specific areas. It boasts a 270ml water tank, giving it the capacity to clean much larger spaces. It also has smart water control. What this means is that it won’t spray your carpet or rugs with water — it can detect when it is on hardwood and when it isn’t and spray as appropriate. The L10 Pro can swap between vacuuming and mopping at a moment’s notice, allowing for simultaneous cleaning.

Dreame is also releasing the Dreame T30, a new cordless stick vacuum with an ultra-high-speed motor. A cordless stick vacuum is a great addition to a robot vac, as it lets you clean areas the robot vacuum can’t go — like stairways or small spaces.

Two other models of the Dreame Bot — the Z10 Pro and the W10 — are also slated for launch in the United States later this year, but launch windows and prices have not yet been finalized. The Z10 Pro boasts improved navigation over the L10 Pro,as well as an auto-emptying dustbin. The W10 can sweep, mop, and vacuum a floor, and also automatically dries the dirty mops at the end of its cycle.

The Dreame Bot L10 Pro will be available starting May 1 with a promotional price of $360, after which the price increases to $420. The Dreame T30 will also be available on May first for $400, after which its price settles at $430.

Should you buy a new smart lock or retrofit your existing deadbolt?

When it comes to smart locks, all models essentially fall into two categories. The first category will be familiar to most people, as these are traditional smart locks built to replace your existing deadbolt. That means you'll get a whole new set of keys for your front door, as well as hardware that introduces smart features to your home.

The second kind of smart lock is a retrofit smart lock. These quirky devices are designed to fit over your existing hardware -- allowing you to keep using your old keys while also adding smart features. Both types of smart locks are great ways to upgrade your front door, but which is best for your home? Here's a closer look to help you decide if you should replace your traditional deadbolt with a smart lock or install a retrofit smart lock instead.

What to know before connecting the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra to your drainage system
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra model that hooks up to plumbing.

One of the coolest features of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is its ability to connect to your existing plumbing. This allows it to automatically refill its clean water supply and drain its dirty water after each cleaning cycle. In other words, it turns the robot vacuum into a highly automated floor cleaner that needs little to no manual input.

The most demanding portion of owning this version of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is installing it. Unlike the traditional model, which comes with water reservoirs and plugs into an electrical outlet, this model needs to connect to both your water and drain lines. And depending on how your home is set up, it might be more of a hassle than it's worth.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra vs. Roborock S8 Max Ultra: Which is the better robot vacuum?
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra are two of the newest additions to the Roborock family. Along with having almost identical names, these robot vacuums share much of the same spec sheet -- including the ability to mop and vacuum in a single cycle before automatically emptying their dustbin and cleaning their mops. They're impressive gadgets by all accounts, but since they're wildly expensive, you'll want to carefully compare the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra before adding one to your home.

If you need help, here's a comprehensive look at these two premium robot vacuums, including a comparison of their vacuuming and mops skills, a look at their docking station perks, and a final determination of which is likely best for your needs. Keep in mind that you really can't go wrong with either product -- after all, they're two of the most expensive robots in the category -- but one might be a slightly better fit for your household than the other.
