DREAME H14 Pro Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner

4.2
(11)

Bottom Line

Choose Dreame H14 Pro for strong wet-dry pickup, lie-flat reach, and quick self-drying; Skip if you need very dry floors immediately or dislike using an app for certain settings and modes.

Best for

Busy households with mostly hard floors that regularly deal with spills and tracked-in debris, especially if you want easy under-furniture reach and automated roller washing/drying.

Not for

Anyone who prioritizes very fast floor drying, wants all controls to be fully on-device (no phone), or is highly sensitive to a heavier vacuum-mop and occasional hair wrap.

Verdict

The H14 Pro is a premium wet-dry vacuum mop that excels at real-world messes: it consistently pulls in liquids and chunky debris and scrubs stains, while its 180-degree lie-flat head makes under-furniture cleaning far easier than most rivals. Owners and testers also like the hot-water self-wash plus hot-air drying options, which keep the roller fresher with less manual cleanup. The tradeoff is polish: some key features can feel overly dependent on the app, and several testers note heavier weight, imperfect hair detangling, and, on some floors, a wetter finish.

  • Solution / Liquid system 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 10 reviews 4.4

  • Water tank 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.4
    Clean-water capacity around 880–900 mL is praised for fewer refills. Dirty-tank capacity is average and the usable fill is lower in lie-flat cleaning.

  • Comparative performance 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.4
    Comparisons often place it among the top vacuum-mops for cleaning power and feature completeness (lie-flat, auto-dosing, fast drying). Some reviewers still prefer competitors with better UI/polish or lower MSRP.

  • Battery & Charging 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.3
    Battery capacity and charging are generally viewed positively, supporting around 40 minutes in common modes. Reported full-charge times vary across reviews/specs, and max/turbo use reduces runtime substantially.

    Grooved or textured surfaces (like mats with channels) are reported to clean well, with debris and sticky residue pulled out of grooves.
  • Odor control 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.3
    Hot-water self-wash and hot-air drying help prevent mildew smells and roller funk. Reviewers still emphasize emptying/rinsing the dirty tank after use to avoid odor buildup.

    WiFi/app-connected reviews mention firmware/OTA updates and reminders, which could extend feature longevity if updates continue over time.
  • Maneuverability & Handling 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.3

  • Maintenance requirements 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.2
    Self-clean/dry reduces daily effort, but ongoing upkeep still includes emptying dirty water, occasional hair removal, replacing stained rollers, and replenishing detergent.
  • Noise level 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.2
    In-use noise is described as typical-to-pleasant for the category (low-to-mid 70 dB in a couple tests), with at least one reviewer noting it is quieter than older floor cleaners.
  • AI, Smart & App / Automation 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.0
    The app enables custom suction/water, scheduled cleaning/drying, propulsion tuning, and maintenance reminders. Sentiment is mixed because some key tasks require too many taps or a phone when a button would be simpler.
  • Dock noise 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 3.9
    Dock noise varies by drying mode: fast drying is noticeably louder (mid-60 dB in one measurement), while quiet drying is much softer but takes about an hour.
  • Floor Drying Time 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.9
    Floor drying feedback is mixed: some testers report wetter/slipperier floors for longer than competitors, while others say it dries quickly enough to walk on soon after, suggesting surface and settings matter.
  • Controls & UI 3.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 3.9
    The on-device screen and buttons are clear for basic operation and status. However, multiple reviewers dislike that some settings (custom-mode choices and drying controls) can feel cumbersome without the app.
  • Emptying & Mess Control 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.8
    Emptying is generally straightforward, but one reviewer finds the debris-filtering inside the dirty tank less effective at catching solids, making rinse-and-dump habits important.
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.7
    Anti-tangle features and self-cleaning help, but long-hair tests still show notable wrap in some cases, so results vary by hair type and expectations.
  • Price & Value 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 3.7
    Value is polarized: discounts make it feel like a feature-rich flagship, while multiple reviewers argue MSRP around $700 is difficult to justify versus strong competitors.

Cons

  • Sanitizing performance 3.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.5
    Ultra/electrolyzed-water mode is presented as disinfecting, but at least one reviewer questions real sanitizing effectiveness and dwell time, so it is best treated as a cleaning boost rather than guaranteed sanitization.
  • Weight 3.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.4
    It is often described as slightly heavy for a vacuum-mop, though the self-propel system helps it feel lighter during use.
  • Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 3.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.4
    One review notes that once the floor is wet, fine dust can be missed in some situations, which aligns with how wet vacs behave versus true dry vacuums.
  • Steam Cleaning 1.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 1.7
    Multiple reviews explicitly state there is no steam-clean feature. Hot-water brush washing helps maintenance but does not replace steam for floor sanitizing.

FAQ

Does the Dreame H14 Pro vacuum and mop at the same time?

Yes. Reviews describe it picking up both solid debris and liquids in the same pass while scrubbing with a wet roller.

How loud is the self-cleaning and drying dock?

Most reviews mention two drying options: a faster cycle that is noticeably louder and a quieter cycle that takes about an hour. The ability to choose is appreciated.

Will it leave my floors wet or slippery?

It depends on floor type and settings. Some testers report noticeably wetter floors after cleaning, while others find the floor walkable quickly; lowering water output can help but may reduce cleaning intensity.

Do I need the app to use it?

Basic cleaning modes and operation work without the app, but multiple reviews note that certain preferences (custom mode variants, some drying controls, scheduling, reminders) are easier or only practical through the app.

How well does it handle pet hair and long hair?

It generally picks up hair well, and self-cleaning helps, but at least one test shows meaningful hair still wrapping on the roller, so periodic manual cleanup may be needed.
