CES always delivers fantastic achievements in robotics, including robot vacuums and mops. One that caught ZDNET’s resident robot vacuum expert’s eye is the Dreame X30 robot vacuum and mop. This robot vacuum features an anti-tangle feature that cuts any hair that may be tangled in the brush rollers.
“The cutting heads are carefully positioned to do this, carefully tucking away the heads to ensure that your floors and carpets aren’t scratched as the robot moves along,” according to ZDNET’s Beth Mauder.
Aside from this feature, the Dreame X30 features 8000Pa of suction power, dual oscillating mop heads, and automatic carpet detection to lift its mop pads up to 10.5mm. It’s available for preorder at the early bird special of $1,240, down from its $1,700 retail price.
Honorable mentions
Other brands like Roborock and Ecovacs also launched new products at CES 2024. Roborock launched a new S8 Max series of robot vacuums and mops available in April 2024, including S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra, both of which will feature an alternative refill and drainage system that connects to a home’s water supply.
Ecovacs also announced a new variant of the Deebot X2 Omni, the Deebot X2 Combo, available at the end of March for $1,599. This variant makes the Omni station, where the robot vacuum docks to empty its dustbin and wash its mop pads, also function as a charging dock for a new Ecovacs handheld stick vacuum.
