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.
Traditionally, robot vacuums (and manual vacuums, for that matter) tend to struggle to clean thick carpets and rugs. The tall fibers, combined with upward suction, is a recipe for getting stuck. It's slightly ironic, because that's exactly the kind of flooring that would really benefit from a thorough vacuum.
Eufy’s latest E28 Robot Vacuum also supports HomeKit integration via the Matter standard. DREAME has also recently started rolling out HomeKit support via Matter for the X50 Ultra Robot Vacuum, the X40 Ultra Robot Vacuum, L40S Pro Ultra, and L40 Ultra AE.
Object avoidance is a tough nut to crack on robot vacuums, but Narwal's new Flow 2 promises it has the best yet with a mix of on-board processing and AI cloud computing.
Narwal has unveiled its Flow 2 robot vacuum and expanded cleaning lineup at CES 2026 on January 4, with a greater push of AI cleaning.
We're used to seeing new EV concepts at CES, but the latest announcement is quite a doozy, both in its specs and its source.
