Roborock has rapidly risen from a Xiaomi-backed newcomer to a globally recognized powerhouse in the robotic vacuum world. With cutting-edge technologies like ReactiveAI® Obstacle Avoidance and VibraRise® mopping, the brand consistently sets new standards in automation and intelligence. Whether you're shopping for your very first robot or hunting for a flagship that can practically read your mind, Roborock’s lineup offers something sharp at every price point — without losing its sleek, minimalist charm.

And while the brand flexes hard on tech, it doesn’t shy away from daily practicality. That means designs that work just as well on Cheerios as they do on pet hair, and apps that don’t make you feel like you need a PhD to operate them.

We’ve run Roborock models through a full suite of tests in our lab — from tight-corner navigation and carpet-deep suction to mop lifting on high-pile rugs — and the results speak for themselves. These bots aren’t just clever; they’re consistent.

If you're even thinking about upgrading your cleaning game, this one's worth the deep dive.

Dreame Robotic Vacuum Cleaners

Founded in 2017 and backed by Xiaomi’s ecosystem, Dreame Technology hasn’t wasted time making a name for itself. In just a few years, it’s gone from newcomer to heavy-hitter — especially in the premium-but-not-overpriced category.

Dreame’s bots are all about blending serious engineering with a sleek, modern design. From Pathfinder™ Navigation to MopExtend™ arms and auto-empty stations that do everything short of walking your dog, they’re chasing full automation — and doing it fast. Their lineup competes directly with Roborock and iRobot, but often undercuts them in price while packing just as much punch.

Curious if Dreame’s robots really live up to the hype? Let’s break it down, feature by feature.
