My test of the Dreame Aqua 10 Ultra Roller on a technical rug 🧹
I wanted to put my new Dreame to the test on a particularly tough entryway rug. This type of rug features tight looped fibers specifically designed to trap dirt, making it an excellent test for judging a robot's true capabilities.
For this trial, I configured the device to its maximum suction power for all three passes. A truly appreciable aspect of this model is the ability to interact at any time via the app to adjust this power live based on what is being observed. Since I had programmed the robot to handle rugs last, it began by carefully cleaning the entire surrounding tiled area before moving onto the textile.
The robot's strategy became truly interesting to observe during the multi-pass phase. As some residue remained after the first round, I started an additional session of two passes. Instead of simply repeating the same path, the robot completely changed its method. It first performed arc-shaped movements to brush the fibers from different angles, and then it divided the rug into two distinct sections to apply a very tight "S-shaped" (snake) sweeping pattern on each half.
Thanks to this intelligent approach and the work of the Ultra Roller, the robot managed to pick up significantly more debris than during the first pass. Even if a few small things occasionally remain embedded due to the very nature of the fibers, the final result is truly convincing. This test proves that the robot doesn't just vacuum; it actually adapts its trajectory to be as efficient as possible. For such a technical rug, the test is validated!
