DREAME H14 Pro Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner

Wet & Dry Vacuum Showdown: 13 Models Tested & Compared -Roborock, Tineco, Dreame, Narwal & UWANT

Just Okay

• Maneuverability & swivel steering
  I found the head does not pivot as much as it does with the other machines
• Overall opinion
  there's a lot of ridiculous design decisions
• User interface/display clarity
  you had to choose which one you wanted and you cannot cycle through both modes

Needs Improvement

• Ease of use
  there's no way to start the brush drying process without starting the brush cleaning process from the machine itself
• Value-for-money
  look at the price at this thing at $700 it's ridiculous
• Weight
  the machine is on the heavier side of things

Dreame H14 Pro Wet & Dry Vacuum: Great Potential, Misses the Mark

What We Loved

• Automatic suction adjustment (dirt sensing)
  automatic mode which uses sensor to detect how much dirt debris mess there is and accordingly adjust the suction power and the water level which is great
• Cleaning performance on hard floors
  with the first pass the machine gets almost all of the coffee stain out
• Dried-on stain cleaning performance
  while it took a lot of passes to get it out eventually did get the ketchup stain out
• Large-debris pick-up
  first pass it gets the larger chunks of cereal out and the milk very easily
• LED headlights brightness / usefulness
  the machine also has LED lights on the cleaning head
• Self-cleaning cycle effectiveness
  I did a fairly good job not the best I've seen but fairly good there's significantly less red stating from the ketchup
• Self-propelling wheels
  self-propelled Wheels which help Propel the machine or easily push the machine forward and backward when you use it
• Under-furniture clearance
  so for starters the machine has 180° lay flight capability so you can actually lay it flat and go under Furniture under chairs which is great

Just Okay

• Detergent-filling feature
  what they call Smart ratio cleaning solution and that's a tank which you fill with cleaning solution and it automatically mixes that with the waterI only wish refilling this was easier it's an awkward position they've put it and you need to kind of lay the machine flat to be able to fill the tank
• Drying function
  with all other machines on the market you can simply press a button on the machine itself or hold and press the cleaning button and it's going to trigger the drying modewith dreamy you cannot you have to go into your phone the app and then start the drying modethe brush roll came out almost entirely dry so that was really good to see
• Edge-cleaning effectiveness
  the machine got close to the edge but not as close as I would have liked we're at about 1.4 CM from The Edge which is not bad
• Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
  the machine also has a special comb Toth scraper to help minimize the amount of tangled hair on the brush rollI was slightly disappointed as there was a lot of hair stuck to the machineI expected less hair to be Tangled as you can see there was significant amount of hair still Tangled on the brush roll
• Mobile-app functionality & reliability
  adds a custom mode which you can configure in the app and set different parametersthey kind of force you to choose between quiet mode or Max mode

Needs Improvement

• Debris pickup performance
  it doesn't do a great job at catching the solid debris
• Maneuverability & swivel steering
  I found the head does not pivot too much left and right as you can see it's somewhat Limited in how much it it pivots
• Power setting versatility
  one of the things I was also disappointed to see missing from the h14 was the max or turbo mode
• Sanitizing performance
  Ultra mode which uses electrolyzed water in theory to disinfectI have questions about the legitimacy of the disinfecting power in such vacuums because I can't comment on how effective it is
• User interface/display clarity
  it would have made sense if they just had two options silent drying or fast drying right from that screenthat's way too many steps way too many clicks
• Value-for-money
  at $700 I think there are better options out there possibly even cheaper ones
• Weight
  it's a tad bit on the heavier side just compared to others I've tried
