DREAME H14 Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner Review

What We Loved

  • Assembly and Setup
    super simple installation we just have to pop the handle in up at the top until it clicks in place...it's only going to fit one way...just gently slide it in place till you hear that snap and T there we go we now have our wet dry V fully assembled
  • Battery runtime / Charging time
    battery life measured of minutes we're coming in just one minute shy of the average at 35 minutes verse 36 for your typical wet Drive B
  • Brush roll design
    main brush roller here scrubber floor brush designed by dreamy...edgo Edge side cleaning right there...180° Li flat design...dreamy's logo and branding to easily remove to clean and replace the brush you just press this and then it pops out and you can pull it out and this will just snap right back on
  • Category
    Dual Edge cleaning with the h14...Edge cleaning so your options for this is zero sides one side or two sides so we have two-sided Edge cleaning here
  • Clean water tank
    red button release for the clean water tank right there it just pops up and out of the way and at the top we can easily refill this...take a look at it with it removed right there we just gently line it up and then it snaps right back in place
  • Cleaning modes
    House Cleaning auto mode Ultra mode Suction mode
  • Customer support
    customer service and contact information directly on the manual
  • Dirty water tank
    dirty water tank release and here's our dirty water tank clearly labeled Max lie flat Max standing so they give us both measurements there pretty clever well thought out...we can press to release so we can easily wash and replace the filter as needed and that just pops right out like so
  • Drying function
    hot air drying is great with the Fast 5 minute hot air drying
  • Hot water cleaning
    hot water brush roller washing...hot water washing for the main mop brush roller now compared to all units we've tested only about 15% have this feature
  • Included accessories
    here are all Contents...main brush roller they give us an extra replacement one...multi-surface floor cleaner lime fresh scent...an extra washable and replaceable filter...charging washing and drying station...multi-purpose cleaning brush with detangler
  • large clean and dirty water tanks
    very large clean water tank which is great to see we're 120 ml above average and same can be said for the dirty water tank also measured in milliliters 700 milliliters versus the average of 650 this just means with the larger clean and dirty water tanks that you're making less trips to and from your sink to refill and empty
  • Lie flat 180° cleaning
    180° lock high flat reach...this has the 180° Li flat design...probably our H1 14's best feature it's it's Li flat 180° cleaning option here this this is only found on about 20% of the wet Drive act so far and this is really a nice feature and option to have
  • Motor power (watts/amps)
    from the manufacturer we have rated power this is in Watts 400 watts compared to the average of 300 so we're getting that 100 watt boost on its power
  • Packaging quality
    take a look at the retail box and packaging they go over the key features on the front as well as the sides
  • Self-cleaning cycle effectiveness
    Self Cleaning charging started starting s self cleaning complete super speed dying
  • Value-for-money
    compared to your average typical wet drrive vacuum we're going to be about $50 to $100 less and I'd argue that we get really good performance above average performance and a decent feature set I'd say we're probably right at the average a little bit higher with the hot water washing that's pretty clutch and the 180° lie flat versus your typical average wet drive back that costs more so the value is defin going to be in favor for the h14 for what it is
  • Water flow regulation
    clean water tank size this is measured a milliliters we have a very large clean water tank which is great to see we're 120 ml above average

Just Okay

  • Airflow (CFM)
    inuse airflow where we measure the fpm on a flat surface with the roller brush on top the h14 comes in a little bit below average at 366 fpm compared to 406 what we're wanting to see with this result and the next result will be a higher value to let us know that we're getting better actual performance right at the floor where the roller brush is making contact
  • Weight
    not specifically mentioned

Needs Improvement

  • sddefault-124
    LED lights this is a big Miss for the ag14 probably my biggest gripe about this particular model for the price that you're paying it should definitely have a built-in LED light bar...not sure why we're not seeing LED lights on very many wet Drive acts I think it's a much uh welcomed feature that we would all appreciate having to illuminate the floor to really see how clean how wet or how dry it is only about 20% of the units out there today have LED lights I want to see this increase in the future
  • Self-propelling wheels
    self-propel this feature is absent from the h14
  • Suction power (air watts)
    inuse suction this is measured in kpas again the higher the better is what we're going to want to see here 77 for the H4 that's well below the average of 1.45 but we see a lot of fluctuation with this particular measurement so the verdict still out

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

What We Loved

  • Self-cleaning cycle effectiveness
    you have the option to do a 5 minute quick brush drying cycle or a more silent 1H hour cycle
  • Under-furniture clearance
    we did gain something important which is the lay flat capabilities

Needs Improvement

Dreame H14 180° Lay Flat Wet/Dry Vacuum: A Big Disappointment

What We Loved

  • Cleaning performance on hard floors
    machine had no problem cleaning the milk and the larger Chun of cereal on the first pass
  • Dried-on stain cleaning performance
    machine had absolutely no issue uh taking care of that stainit did take a lot of passes to get that out
  • Edge-cleaning effectiveness
    got to about 1 and 1/2 to 1.2 CM from The Edge which is quite decent
  • Ergonomics
    small wheel on the handle is going to help push the machine forward when you are completely laying flat on the floor
  • Filter in dirty water tank
    did a good job of catching the solid debris
  • Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
    added to the h14 a comb Toth scraper to avoid tangled hair
  • Liquid/spill pickup (wet-dry models)
    no trouble at all getting that honey out
  • Maneuverability & swivel steering
    easy to maneuver despite not having the self-propelled Wheelshead does not pivot as much as I would have loved it to but it's not a deal breaker
  • Self-cleaning cycle effectiveness
    self-cleaning cycle which is going to clean the brush roll flush the internal systems and whatnot that's great
  • Under-furniture clearance
    ability to lie flat at 180° for those hard to- reach areas
  • User interface/display clarity
    LCD screen on the machine once you put it on the base flips so that if you're facing the machine you can actually read the number the right side up

Just Okay

  • Drying function
    there is either a quick 5minute dry mode or a silent 60-minute dry mode which is greatno way to actually manually do it
  • Noise level
    clocked at about 77 DB which is quite loudsilent drying was at about 53 DB which is not very loud but it's noticeable
  • Wet-dry 2-in-1 design
    in that mode the machine does not dispense any water it's just sucking whatever liquid is on the floor

Needs Improvement

  • Heating element
    false advertising or misleading advertising
  • LED headlights brightness / usefulness
    they removed the LED light
  • Power setting versatility
    no Max mode
  • Self-propelling wheels
    they also removed them on the h14
  • Ultra mode (electrolysis)
    ultra mode which only uses electrolyzed water is more of a marketing gimmick
  • Value-for-money
    I cannot justify paying this much with very essential features that are missing

  • Button/switch placement
    buttons that are on the vacuum at the top of the handle do a combination of things powering on the vacuum like turning on the selfcleaning mode when on the base station and the button that switches between three modes automatic mode Ultra mode and suction modeall of the buttons with a really good click and and feel to them so you know if you press the button or not

    additional drying function on this vacuum that allows you to dry the brush either in a quiet mode that dries the brush in an hour or 5 minute flash drying which will be a little louder but it is awesome to see that you have an option so if you have kids and need it to be quiet you have the option
  • Ease of use
    I love that I don't have to worry about cleaning up the mess manually and getting rags to do so
  • Edge-cleaning effectiveness
    edgo edge roller that gets close to the baseboards and picks up debris without an issueDual Edge roller did a fantastic job of picking up the crumbs off the floor even at the very edge

    a more powerful motor which is now 400 WS instead of the 300 WTS on the h12 pro

    special Omni wheel on the back that keeps the body of the vacuum clear from scratches

    vacuum will start cleaning the roller with clean water and solution by heating the water to 60° C to disinfect the roller so you don't get any mold or smell buildup and the base station does all of this automatically
  • Solid-Liquid waste separation
    liquid separation motor that prevents the dirty water that is in the tank not to spill out when completely horizontal while cleaning your floors and the suction continues to stay at full speed thanks to the new motor which is pretty genius

  • Value-for-money
    in terms of the price you pay you're matching the quality and performance of the vacuums that cost two to three times more than the h14
