Introduction
Dreame presents three very different proposals within its 2025 catalogue, designed to cover different needs and budgets. The Dreame D20 Pro Plus stands out for its dual HyperStream brush and a basic auto-empty base, aimed at those seeking an effective solution without complications. The Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 3, launched in November 2025, incorporates a third-generation multifunction base that washes and dries the mops, ideal for those who want to forget about mopping maintenance. The Dreame Matrix10 Ultra represents the most advanced range, with dual RGB camera AI technology, its own voice assistant and intelligent detection functions that make it a premium option for demanding homes.
The D20 Pro Plus adapts well to homes where powerful vacuuming and simple maintenance are priorities. The other two models are designed for users seeking professional mopping with minimal manual intervention.
Power and Suction
The difference in suction power is evident. The Dreame D20 Pro Plus offers 13,000 Pa, sufficient for hard floors and medium-pile carpets, but falls far short of the 25,000 Pa of the L10s Ultra Gen 3 and the 30,000 Pa of the Matrix10 Ultra. This difference is especially noticeable on thick carpets or when there are pets that shed a lot of hair.
The brushing system varies notably. The D20 Pro Plus and the Matrix10 Ultra feature dual HyperStream brush, a Dreame design that reduces hair tangles by having each brush anchored at one end. The L10s Ultra Gen 3 uses a single brush, less effective at preventing tangles but more than sufficient in homes without pets.
Only the Matrix10 Ultra incorporates lifting of the main brush and side brush during mopping, a function that prevents dirtying the mops with dust residue and improves the final result. The extendable side brush is present in all three models, which guarantees good cleaning in corners. The anti-tangle side brush appears on the D20 Pro Plus and the Matrix10 Ultra, but not on the L10s Ultra Gen 3.
Mopping
Here we find the biggest gap between models. The Dreame D20 Pro Plus uses a static mop without any automatic maintenance. This means you must fill the robot's water tank (350 ml) and wash the mop manually after each use. There is no washing or drying at the base, which makes it a basic solution for occasional mopping.
The L10s Ultra Gen 3 and the Matrix10 Ultra radically change the experience. Both have two rotating mops that extend to reach edges, with Roboswing movement that allows the mop to get under low furniture. The mops lift 10.5 mm when detecting carpets or rugs. During mopping, the robot returns to the base several times to wash the mops with hot water (45 °C) and continue mopping with clean mops. When finished, it dries them with hot air, preventing bad odours.
The Matrix10 Ultra adds three important advantages: it mops the floor with hot water at 80 °C stored in the robot's internal tank, automatically removes the mops at the base when you only want to vacuum, and detects dirt both on the mops and on the floor to go over areas that need it. These functions make the difference in homes with young children or pets where extra hygiene is needed.
Navigation System
All three models use LiDAR turret to map the home, although the Matrix10 Ultra uses a retractable LiDAR system that reduces its total height to 89 mm. All include front 3D laser sensor to avoid obstacles in real time.
The big difference lies in artificial intelligence. The D20 Pro Plus does not incorporate a camera or advanced recognition functions. The L10s Ultra Gen 3 integrates CleanGenius technology that optimises cleaning according to floor type and recognises pets to avoid them. The Matrix10 Ultra takes this much further with dual RGB camera, recognition of 240 different obstacles, curtain detection, LED for night vision and remote access to the camera from the app. This allows you to monitor the home whilst the robot cleans or even use it as a basic security camera.
For homes with many objects on the floor, cables or toys, the Matrix10 Ultra offers far superior precision. In tidy homes, the L10s Ultra Gen 3 performs perfectly.
Autonomy and Battery
The Dreame D20 Pro Plus and the L10s Ultra Gen 3 share a 5,200 mAh battery, but offer different autonomies: 285 minutes for the first and 231 minutes for the second. This difference is explained by the higher suction power of the L10s Ultra Gen 3, which consumes more energy.
The Matrix10 Ultra increases to 6,400 mAh with 260 minutes of autonomy. Although it has the highest power (30,000 Pa), the larger battery compensates for consumption. In practice, all three models can clean homes of over 200 m² without problems, returning to the base to recharge if necessary and resuming cleaning where they left off.
Smart Functions
All three robots overcome thresholds of up to 20 mm, except the Matrix10 Ultra which can climb single thresholds of greater height thanks to its improved traction system and sensors. This is useful in homes with different levels or high thresholds between rooms.
The Matrix10 Ultra includes its own voice assistant that allows you to give it commands directly without needing to use the app or external assistants. All three models are compatible with Alexa and Google Home for integration into home automation ecosystems.
Multifunction Cleaning Base
The Dreame D20 Pro Plus has an auto-empty base with a 5-litre bag, the largest of the three. This reduces the frequency of bag changes, but does not offer any functions related to mopping.
The L10s Ultra Gen 3 incorporates a third-generation multifunction base. In addition to auto-emptying (3.2-litre bag), it washes the mops with hot water, dries them with hot air and has self-cleaning of the washing tray. The clean water (4.5 litres) and dirty water (4 litres) tanks allow several mopping sessions without intervention. It includes a detergent tank that is dispensed during mop washing. There is an optional kit to connect the base to water pipes, although it must be purchased separately.
The Matrix10 Ultra improves several aspects: 3.5th generation base with more efficient self-cleaning, triple detergent tank for different types of floors, automatic changing of three pairs of mops, and larger clean water tanks (5.5 litres). It also offers an optional kit for connection to pipes. The ability to automatically change mops means it can mop the entire house with always fresh mops, without you having to intervene.
Dimensions
All three robots share the same diameter of 350 mm, standard in the industry. Height varies: 96.8 mm for the D20 Pro Plus, 97 mm for the L10s Ultra Gen 3 and 89 mm for the Matrix10 Ultra. Those 8 mm of difference allow the Matrix10 Ultra to slip under more furniture and low beds.
The bases present very different sizes. The D20 Pro Plus measures 298 mm wide, 452 mm high and 440 mm deep, the most compact. The multifunction bases of the L10s Ultra Gen 3 (340 x 590 x 457 mm) and the Matrix10 Ultra (416 x 590 x 457 mm) take up considerably more space due to the water tanks and washing system. It is advisable to measure the space where it will be located carefully before deciding.
Real-world experience
In small or medium-sized homes without pets, where mopping is not a priority, the D20 Pro Plus performs perfectly. Its dual HyperStream brush and 5-litre bag reduce maintenance to a minimum in terms of vacuuming. You will have to deal with mopping manually, but if you only mop occasionally it is not a major inconvenience.
For homes with pets that shed a lot of hair, the Matrix10 Ultra is more suitable due to its 30,000 Pa power, dual HyperStream brush and anti-tangle side brush. The L10s Ultra Gen 3, with its single brush and lower power, may require more passes in areas with a lot of accumulated hair.
If you are looking for total autonomy in mopping without touching the mops for weeks, both the L10s Ultra Gen 3 and the Matrix10 Ultra offer that convenience. The difference lies in the details: the Matrix10 Ultra mops with hot water, detects dirt to go over problem areas and changes mops automatically. In large homes or with young children where hygiene is a priority, these functions justify the investment.
The AI navigation of the Matrix10 Ultra makes a difference in cluttered homes or with many obstacles. If your home has cables, toys or decorations on the floor, it will avoid everything with precision. Remote access to the camera adds extra peace of mind when you are away.
