-
Hair pickup is excellent, with multiple tests reporting near-total removal on carpet when suction is appropriately set.
-
High-pile performance can be very strong in controlled tests, including pet-hair pickup, but real-world clutter and fine dust can still require higher suction and occasional manual help.
-
In at least one particulate test during auto-emptying, the system did not noticeably increase airborne dust, suggesting good sealing and containment.
-
Auto-emptying generally leaves the onboard bin nearly clean and reduces mess versus manual dumping, though moving the robot can let some debris fall from internal cavities.

Cliff and anti-drop sensors worked reliably in testing, with reviewers comfortable letting it clean near stair edges.

Repeatedly framed as a standout value under about $400, with some reviewers calling its feature set and performance closer to pricier models.
-
Reviews consistently report strong pet-hair pickup and the convenience of self-emptying for fur, though keeping cords and clutter off the floor helps prevent interruptions.
-
Auto-emptying was generally effective at clearing dense debris, and one review credits a DualBoost-style airflow design with reducing clogs during emptying.

With schedules, room targeting, and auto-emptying, day-to-day use can be largely hands-off, but it works best when floors are prepped and mopping is treated as a light maintenance feature.
-
Bagged self-emptying and filters help keep dust contained; one review notes an E12 HEPA filter and another highlights cleaner, more sanitary emptying versus manual dumping.
-
For its price tier, reviewers highlight a rare combination of LiDAR mapping, auto-emptying, and granular app control; the main missing innovation versus flagships is consistent AI object recognition (except in the D10s Plus variant review).
-
Overall sentiment is strongly positive, emphasizing reliability, mapping, and self-empty convenience, with most reservations centered on basic mopping and clutter handling.
-
On sealed hard floors, mopping is reported to leave minimal streaks or water marks at moderate water settings; heavier wet settings can leave faint marks similar to a normal mop.
-
Battery life is frequently praised, with quoted runtimes around 150 to 180 minutes on lower power and the ability to recharge and resume. Recharging can take roughly 4.5 to 6 hours, and max power drains the battery much faster.
-
Hard-floor pickup is consistently excellent, often near complete removal in lab tests. Very low suction modes may leave some fine dust, but Standard or Turbo typically finishes the job.
-
Large debris pickup on hard floors is strong overall, though a single side brush can occasionally flick particles and may benefit from a second pass or higher power for complete cleanup.

The onboard bin is small (around 400mL in several specs) but the dock’s sealed bag (commonly 2.5L; one D10s Plus review cites 4L) enables weeks of hands-off emptying. A few notes mention debris can spill if the robot is carried between rooms.
-
When the robot successfully returns home, emptying is highly reliable and clears even dense debris; however, in cluttered environments some reviewers saw missed docks or mid-run stranding that prevents auto-emptying until rescued.
-
The Mi Home or Dreame app suite provides robust mapping edits, no-go and no-mop zones, schedules, and per-room power and water settings. Usability is generally strong, but some reviewers note menus can feel busy and Wi‑Fi is 2.4GHz only.
-
Most testers describe suction as strong for the price (often cited at 4,000Pa, with one related D10s Plus review noting 5,000Pa). Standard mode handles everyday debris well; fine dust in carpet can require Turbo.

Physical buttons are simple for start, home, and spot cleaning, backed by app controls. Several reviewers mention helpful (if sometimes unnecessary) voice prompts.
-
The white, minimal design is generally seen as sleek and less visually intrusive than darker robots, though the large dock is still prominent.
-
The dock’s cable routing and coil holder help tidy excess cord slack behind the base, improving placement neatness.
-
LiDAR mapping is fast and accurate, enabling tidy, efficient cleaning paths and strong room segmentation. Multi-map and changing door or dock positions can occasionally disrupt schedules or docking.
-
Low-pile carpet results are generally good, with most debris removed in tests; occasional misses on fine dust or sugary or kitty-litter style particles were noted.
-
In a multi-robot budget comparison, it scored near the top for cleaning while delivering the best value per dollar, though a Roborock competitor led overall.
-
The app can track accessory life, including filter and brush runtime, helping prompt cleaning or replacement.
-
Moderate water flow dries quickly for maintenance cleaning, while the highest water setting takes longer to dry.
-
Physical setup is quick (attach side brush, insert bag, charge), but optimal placement of the dock and app pairing take more attention, especially for mapping multiple floors.
-
At roughly 3.8 inches tall, it fits under many sofas and cabinets, improving under-furniture reach for routine cleaning.

On lower modes it is generally quiet and unobtrusive, while Turbo is noticeably louder. Several tests put cleaning around the high 40s to mid 60s dB depending on mode.
-
Carpet performance is solid for maintenance cleaning but can struggle with fine flour-like dust without higher suction. One comparative test placed it near the top for budget robots, though it is not a deep-clean replacement for an upright.

The water tank is small (often 145mL; one related model cites a larger tank), with adjustable water flow. Large hard-floor areas may require refills.
-
Routine upkeep includes swapping dock bags every few weeks, cleaning filters and sensors periodically, clearing hair from brushes, and rinsing or air-drying the mop pad after use.
-
Experiences vary: some testers saw frequent snags on cords or tight spots, while others reported only occasional hang-ups. Threshold and transition handling is decent but not unlimited.
-
Expect recurring costs for dock bags plus periodic filter and mop-pad replacements, though one reviewer estimates bag costs can be relatively low annually depending on use.
