Read my initial review of the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller is the powerhouse robot vacuum to splurge on for heavy-duty upkeep of frequent wet and dry spills. It would flourish in busy households with multiple kids or pets, complex furniture arrangements, or multiple floor types, including steep thresholds in doorways or any shallow sunken rooms separated by a step.
It’s not necessarily as detail-oriented when edge cleaning as the excellent Roborock Saros 10R, but it is the most likely robot vacuum to come to the rescue for large in-the-moment messes.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller is the new robot vacuum to beat. Its September 2025 release set the stakes quite high for the new wave of robot vacuums that’ll be debuted at CES 2026 in January, and being able to climb stairs thresholds up to 3.15 inches tall is hardly its preeminent edge.
The more important number here is actually 30,000, as in 30,000 Pa of suction power — a new market high, and a daunting 8,000 Pa stronger than Roborock’s most powerful robot vacuums. I can attest to its tenacity after it recorded exceptional pickup rates on debris obstacle courses in my apartment, including crystal cat litter on a tile floor, crushed crackers and rice on the hardwood kitchen floor, and mega clumps of cat hair on a medium-pile rug. I still think it’s wise to toggle double cleaning passes (instead of just one) in the app, as the side brush does have a tendency to nudge loose debris out of the cleaning path.
If you’ve been disappointed by lazy or streaky mopping from a cheaper 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop in the past, a roller mop robot vacuum should be your next move. Dreame calls it FluffRoll tech: sturdy force pressing the ultra-soft fibers onto the floor and into cracks or grout to scrub at stubborn dried grime from heavy shoe or paw traffic. The texture and size of the roller just feels more absorbent than thinner pads I’ve seen in other hybrid robot vacuums — in my apartment, the Aqua10 Ultra Roller efficiently wiped up a variety of spill consistencies, from wine and strawberry daiquiri mix, to buffalo sauce and ranch dressing, to a thick pudge of icing after the devastating fall of a cupcake.
I also think the wet roller actually helps this Dreame vacuum better, lapping up finer particles like protein powder or litter dust better than dry suction alone. The roller rinses itself while it’s mopping to prevent spreading the mess around, and mops with a legit cleaning solution, which is helpfully included in the box.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller has brains behind the brawn. The livestream pet camera is becoming a given with all new premium robot vacuum releases, and this is the most accurate phone charger avoidance tech I’ve seen in a long time.
