Robot Vacuum and Mop with Self-Cleaning Base Station
Dreame X40 Ultra Complete Review

12,000Pa suction | 120+ object types | 70°C mop wash | Removable mops | 6,400mAh battery

Overview

The Dreame X40 Ultra Complete is a robot vacuum and mop with 12,000Pa Vormax suction, LDS laser navigation and 4-level maps. Smart recognition and 3D structured light let it avoid more than 120 types of object, and it has AI HD and IR cameras and an LED light for dark areas. The side brush extends and lifts, the MopExtend RoboSwing mop reaches out up to 4 cm and lifts 10.5 mm, and the robot leaves its mops on the base station when it only needs to vacuum.

The base station empties the robot into a 3.2L dust bag for up to 75 days, washes the mops with 70°C hot water (with four temperature levels), dries them with hot air, cleans its washboard with each mop wash and refills the robot’s water and cleaning solution. Its clean and used water tanks hold 4.5L and 4.0L. The robot has a 6,400mAh battery that takes about 4.5 hours to charge and a spot cleaning button, and it works with Alexa, Siri and Google Home. Figures the UK manual doesn’t give come from Dreame’s US store page.

✓The manual doesn’t name the spare main brush’s type, and Dreame’s US page lists the anti-tangle TriCut brush as sold separately

Setup & Installation

Place the base station somewhere as open as possible with a good Wi-Fi signal, leaving more than 5 cm on each side and more than 1.5 m in front; Dreame recommends a tile or marble floor so water can’t mark wood or carpet. Push the power cord firmly into the station until its indicator lights, fit the ramp extension plate and remove the robot’s protective pieces. Fit the mop pad holders onto the robot and set the I/O switch on the back of the station to I. Fill the clean water tank with clean water, not hot water (Dreame says hot water can deform it), and add Dreame’s cleaning solution to the dispenser.

Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the robot on, then scan the QR code under the robot’s cover to get the Dreamehome app. In the app, tap the + icon in the top right corner, scan the same code and follow the prompts. Only 2.4GHz Wi-Fi is supported; the Wi-Fi light under the cover blinks slowly when the robot is ready to connect.
