Introduction
The Dreame L60 Ultra arrives on the market as a high-end proposition that combines raw power with an arsenal of technologies designed to minimise maintenance. With 35,000 Pa of suction and a HyperStream anti-tangle dual brush system, this robot vacuum and mop positions itself as a complete solution for those seeking genuine autonomy in home cleaning.
Power and Cleaning System
The 35,000 Pa suction power places the Dreame L60 Ultra among the most capable models on the market. This figure translates into the ability to extract embedded dirt from carpets and drag heavy particles without the need for repeated passes. The HyperStream anti-tangle dual brush system makes a difference in homes with pets or people with long hair: each brush is anchored at one end, which helps hair flow towards the suction inlet without forming the typical tangles that force you to clean manually every few days.
The main brush is liftable, allowing the robot to adapt to different surfaces without losing efficiency. The side brush also features anti-tangle technology and is extendable, which notably improves pick-up in corners and along skirting boards. In practice, this means fewer leftover debris in the corners that would otherwise need to be gone over by hand.
Mopping System
The mopping system incorporates two rotating mops that can be raised by up to 10.5 mm when the robot detects rugs or carpets. This lift is sufficient to prevent damp mops from touching low-pile textiles. The mops feature extension via the RoboSwing system, which allows the robot to make a lateral movement to slightly push the mops under furniture and ledges, improving coverage in areas that are usually hard to reach.
The most notable aspect of the mopping system lies in the base: it washes the mops with water heated to 100°C during the cleaning process, ensuring that the robot always mops with sanitised mops. Once finished, it dries them with hot air at 45°C to prevent unpleasant odours and bacterial growth. Dirt detection on both the mops and the floor allows the device to adjust intensity and number of passes according to what it finds. The detergent tank helps make mop washing more effective, dispensing product during the automatic process.
Navigation and Intelligence
The Dreame L60 Ultra features a retractable 360° LiDAR system combined with a dual AI camera and a front-facing 3D laser sensor. This triple layer of sensors enables precise mapping and real-time obstacle detection. The robot recognises up to 280 different types of objects, including pets, cables, slippers or small toys. In homes with children or animals, this capability drastically reduces jams and cleaning interruptions.
The CleanGenius system automatically adjusts suction power and mopping pattern according to the type of floor and level of dirt detected. AI-based stain recognition makes the robot focus on areas that require more attention. Remote camera access and night-vision LEDs add basic surveillance functionality, useful for checking on your home when you are away.
Battery Life and Practical Use
With a 5,200 mAh battery, the model offers up to 232 minutes of declared runtime, enough to cover homes of over 200 m² in a single session. Fast charging allows energy to be restored in less time when frequent cleaning schedules are needed.
The ability to climb simple steps of up to 22 mm and double steps of up to 40 mm is particularly useful in homes with level changes between rooms, transitions to terraces or small kerbs. This robot can overcome obstacles that would stop more basic models.
Base and Maintenance
The multifunction base of the Dreame L60 Ultra handles automatic emptying of the dust bin into a 3.2-litre bag, which means several weeks without manual intervention. The clean and dirty water tanks have capacities of 4.5 and 4 litres respectively, generous dimensions that allow several mopping sessions without refilling or emptying.
Self-cleaning of the washing tray with water heated to 100°C prevents the build-up of residue and odours in the base itself. A plumbed-in water connection kit is available to purchase, although it is not included as standard, for those who prefer to forget about refilling and emptying tanks altogether. The robot can detach the mops at the base, making maintenance easier when you want to wash them separately or replace them.
Conclusion
The Dreame L60 Ultra suits medium to large homes where minimising maintenance tasks is a priority. Its combination of high power, an effective anti-tangle system, mopping with mops that are automatically washed and dried, and intelligent navigation make it a solid option for those living with pets or young children. A smart vacuum designed to operate with minimal supervision.
