The Dreame L60 Pro Ultra earns our pick in the $1,000–$1,300 price range because it combines premium flagship features with some of the strongest real-world performance results we’ve seen this year. What ultimately separated the L60 Pro Ultra from the competition in this price range was its combination of elite obstacle avoidance, industry-leading threshold climbing, strong carpet-cleaning performance, and premium automation features. Few competitors manage to score as highly across so many categories at once.Read B
And on deep pile carpets, it's a total monster. But raw power is useless if the brush gets choked with hair. That's where the HyperStream Detangling Duo Brush comes in. I ran a hair torture test using 30 cm long strands. Usually, I'd be reaching for scissors to cut through a tangled mess this long, but as you can see here, 100% of the hair was guided straight into the bin. It was able to suck away dog and human hair on hard floors and even on carpets without a single tangle on the roller brush.Watch J
Honestly, the Dreame L60 Ultra FE is the better value play. The Dreame FE has almost all the same features at a noticeably lower price — same dock, similar brush, same hot-water mop wash. The Dreame L60 Ultra PE adds the SmartDirt sensor, 3N more mop pressure (13N vs 10N), and a forward-facing AI camera. If those features matter to you, the Dreame PE earns its premium. If not, take the Dreame FE.Read D
So, today I partnered with Dreame to show you their new L60 Ultra PE, and you won't believe how much this looks and cleans like a flagship. And there are even some features that you won't even find on more expensive flagship vacuums. So, what's the catch? For all the unboxing fans, here's what comes in the box.Watch I Instagram Instagram post
The new Dreame L60 Pro Ultra packs some serious hardware, including advanced obstacle avoidance, industry-leading threshold climbing, hot-water mopping, and a premium self-maintenance dock. We purchased one ourselves and spent weeks evaluating it in our studio to see how it compares to the best robot vacuums on the market.View post S
You've got insanely powerful 35,000 PAs of suction power for deep cleaning on any surface, the ability to climb over obstacles and thresholds with ease, and the upgraded mopping system with heated water and 100° self-cleaning that keeps the mop pads fresh automatically, and much more.Watch R
The L60 Pro Ultra, for examples, combines powerful suction of up to 35,000Pa to get up dust, dry debris, pet hair and more with hot-water mopping to remove stains and grime from hard surfaces. Each L60 has a range of tools and design features to help maintain a standard clean, so you’re not stuck mopping.Read M
So, it is so much better than a lot of the other robot vacuums out there on the market. And just to show you how it actually works in the real world, the main brush consists of two brush rollers that are connected only on one side.Watch R
After living with it across hardwood, tile, rugs, and the kind of stacked floor transitions that have stranded almost every robot I’ve tested, I’ve come away convinced this is one of the most genuinely capable cleaning machines you can buy right now – flaws and all.Read M
This right here is the new L60 Pro Ultra robot vacuum from our sponsor Dreamy and it's been blowing my mind in terms of how well it vacuums and mops all of my floors including carpets while being completely hands-free with no manual intervention other than refilling and draining the water tanks.Watch V
Is the Dreame L60 Pro Ultra worth it? Yes. The Dreame L60 Pro Ultra earned a very high position on our Top 20 Robot Vacuums list thanks to its strong vacuuming performance, excellent obstacle avoidance, outstanding threshold climbing, and premium dock features.Read S
I started with some heavier debris like coffee beans and crushed up chips, and it handled those with no problem. It just scooped them right up. Then I threw down some oatmeal to see how it dealt with those finer, smaller particles. And again, this wasn't an issue. It didn't scatter the mess, it just cleaned it all up. That boosted suction power really shines on tile floors and in those tight spots between rugs.Watch T
Dreame L60 Ultra PE earns the top spot by pairing flagship-level cleaning specs with broad automation. Its 30,000 Pa max suction, spinning LiDAR, and obstacle recognition system give it the core hardware expected from a current high-end vacuum and mop robot.Read K
That's probably one of the strongest ones we've seen yet. And over here shows some of the smart features. So, it can actually go down where the lidar will decrease its height and it can make it nice and flat so it can go under sofas up to 3 in. It can also go over different terrains without any issues with the suspension, can detect for pets, and then of course it can also climb up to 1.77 in and 1.69 in. So, it can climb a good amount to get over these small different obstacle barriers. Let's open this thing up.Watch V
While the L-series has traditionally served as a more affordable alternative to Dreame’s flagship X-series, the L60 Pro Ultra blurs that distinction by incorporating many of the company’s best technologies into a package that feels remarkably premium.Read V
So, if you want the best of the best, go for the L60 Pro Ultra.Watch B
Choose L60 Pro Ultra for the strongest L60 feature set, 35,000Pa suction, ProLeap obstacle crossing, and the most automated dock.Read T
So, the robot clearly had the power part down and I just needed to see if it had the speed part as well. And it turns out that it does, just not in the way that I expected. But, before we get into what this thing is actually doing, let me do something for you by saying thank you for watching my videos. And as a way to say thanks, I'd like to give you a chance to win $200.Watch J
That sensor is on the X60 Ultra and the MOVA P10 Pro Ultra; the L60 Pro Ultra doesn't have it. Surprising omission at this price.Read V
Moving on to the pros, this model is a strong vacuum cleaner.Watch C
CNET experts have consistently named Dreame models among their best robot vacuums and given the company a CNET Lab Award .Read V
The series features four members, including the L60 Pro Ultra, which we liked a lot when we reviewed it recently. We bought one and put it through several different tests over the last few weeks. It was a surprising success, and it quickly rocketed up our rankings as a result.Watch J Jovi Dufren Facebook post
This vacuum can do things I didn’t think was possible, including cleaning my balcony.View post J
Well, I've already put my sticker on it. It is just a dad approved. It's not for every single household.Watch J
This is definitely just a dad approved.Watch J
Wow. This has been doing a good job of cleaning up. Wow, look at all that dirt and debris. Large chunks, rocks, even a nickel. That is absolutely amazing how much stuff this has been picking up. Wow. Okay, let's switch gears over to the robot. We're going to wipe the sensor down here. We've got sensors on the front. This is just a lintfree cloth. Sensors here. Make sure there's nothing caught underneath the lightar. And a sensor on the side. And this is every 30 hours. Clean that sensor there. And then that sensor right there.Watch J
That is been doing an extremely good job of vacuuming. Okay. Take the new dust bag. You're going to kind of pull slide it in this tray. Okay. Put the bag. Make sure the bag doesn't get in there and push this down all the way.Watch J
I absolutely love this robot vacuum cleaner. I took it to my home. It is Just a Dad approved. You can see that video.Watch M
I was surprised at how well all of these vacuums did with getting rid of all the sawdust and the plastic shavings, but the vacuums that were able to clean everything in the least amount of time were the ones that had the most suction power, the Ultra and the Pro Ultra.Watch M
And obviously, they get better in performance as you get higher closer to the Pro Ultra model. Physically, they're all pretty much the same in terms of size externally, a little bit of design elements difference on each one, and the Pro Ultra has this nice ridge textured pattern here on the front, and you've got more of a champagne color on the PE, the Ultra, and the Pro Ultra. There's also a size difference between the FE and the PE in the cleaning solution. So, if we look in here at the physical container of the cleaning solution, the FE and the PE have a substantially different size.Watch T
But, it's really good, very practical for home use, and I really enjoyed using it.Watch T
I've been using this vacuum for a couple weeks and honestly, it's one of the best robotic vacuums that you can get out there.Watch E
So if you happen to be shopping for a robot vacuum, stick around and I'll be going over everything that makes this one of the best ones in this price range. Taking a look at the robot itself, this is definitely a nice and sleek unit. As you can see it's all matte white and then you have a silver accent here along with a nice LED ring. As you can see here, this is very thin at only 3.5 inches so this is going to be able to clean under furniture and other tight spaces.Watch E

Okay, so, the hero feature of the L60 Pro Ultra, and this is, in my opinion, what really separates it from every other robot in the L60 lineup, all right? It's the three-part movement system working together.Watch C

If you're dealing with tall multi-layer transitions, Roborock is solving a problem Dreamy isn't built to touch. If your home is mostly standard sills, Dreamy's already got you covered. Now, suction. Because this is the number that decides whether your floor is actually clean or just looks clean until you check under the rug. Roborock runs 36,000 pascals of digital motor power, and that's paired with the duo divide main brush, which uses counter-rotating bristles that funnel hair straight into the suction path instead of letting it wind around the axle. Roborock has that certified at a 0% tangle rate.Watch P
So, if your flooring is mostly hard surfaces or low-to-medium pile carpet, you'll feel the power. If you have a very thick rug, you might still need a manual vacuum for those stubborn spots.Watch
Frequently asked questions
It ranks #6 of 26 on our robot vacuums tier list, in B tier. That placement draws on 53 cited sources across 40 outlets.
Buyers in the upper mid-range who want flagship-level suction and deep carpet cleaning at a fraction of flagship prices. Reviewers name it the top pick among mid-tier models, and it ranks sixth in B tier on our robot vacuums board with no cons recorded. If you want the best long-term reliability record regardless of cost, the Roborock Saros 10R in S tier is the pick. If you want to spend less again, the Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 is the value choice below it.
Yes. Excellent carpet performance and superior carpet-deep cleaning are the headline findings in its research, with flagship-level suction behind them. On our board only the Dreame X50 Ultra is rated higher for carpet, and it costs considerably more. Long shag pile remains a job for a stick vacuum whichever robot you buy.
The Dreame L60 Pro Ultra unless your home is almost all thick carpet. The Dreame X50 Ultra has a little more suction but is marked down for its price and for higher brush wear, while the Dreame L60 Pro Ultra gets its carpet results with good value and no recorded cons. Both sit in B tier on our board, and the L60 is the better buy for most homes.
Yes. Like the rest of Dreame's Ultra range it is a vacuum-and-mop robot with a dock that washes and dries the pads and empties the bin, so it handles hard floors and carpet in one run. The research on this model focuses on its carpet performance and improved navigation rather than on mopping, so treat the mopping as capable rather than best in class.
Clear hair from the roller and side brush weekly, wipe the lidar turret and cliff sensors with a dry cloth, and let the dock finish its pad-drying cycle after every mop run. Empty and rinse the dirty water tank and check the dust bag monthly. Replace filters every two to three months and brushes and pads every six to twelve months, sooner with pets. Run firmware updates from the app when offered.
