Premium for 20 thousand. Dreame crossed a vacuum cleaner with a mop.

      It seems that home appliance manufacturers have finally come to the conclusion that the modern person is lazy and wants to see a minimum number of devices in the house. Just as we got used to the idea that a robot vacuum cleaner is a human's friend, new vertical monsters come onto the scene, trying to replace a mop, broom, and dustpan all at once.

      Dreame, known for its love of premium specifications, decided to slightly democratize the market and released the R10S Slim Aqua and R10S Essential Aqua models in Russia. They are already on sale, and their main feature is an attachment that not only sweeps but also scrubs the floor with active suction, so you definitely won't be breathing in dust.

      The new Dreame R10S Slim Aqua and R10S Essential Aqua combine dry and wet cleaning, making the brand's engineering technologies accessible in the entry-level price segment.

      The main trend of recent years is the reduction of the number of mops under the sink, and the new products strictly follow this trend. Instead of buying a separate steam cleaner or struggling with a wet cloth, users are offered to attach a special block with two round mops to the vacuum cleaner. They spin energetically at a speed of 120 revolutions per minute, imitating, if not manual scrubbing, then very diligent cleaning. Engineers even built in a 150-milliliter tank to ensure that water is supplied evenly, rather than being splashed like a bucket onto the parquet.

      For those who do not believe in the miracles of wet cleaning or simply want to collect cat hair before smearing it across a puddle, a classic dry brush is included. Moreover, it is not just any brush, but one with CelesTect lighting. This is a way to find dust under the sofa, even if you don't peek there with a flashlight. The lighting works honestly, showing all the dirt that you preferred not to notice before. The V-shaped design of the brush, as the developers assure, prevents hair from winding around the roller, which is especially relevant for owners of long-haired household members and fluffy pets.

      As for the technical specifications, everything here is quite serious. The suction power reaches 100 watts, and the five-stage filtration system captures 99.9% of particles up to 0.3 microns in size. This may sound like a spell, but essentially means that you will be exhaling more or less clean air, rather than what you just sucked up from under the carpet. The manufacturer has allocated about 40 minutes of autonomous operation time. This should be enough to cover a standard two-room apartment, unless, of course, you decide to vacuum every inch of the ceiling.

      But the most pleasant thing about this story is the weight. The vacuum cleaner weighs only 1.28 kilograms. This means that even if you decide to reach the curtains, cornices, or lofts, your arms won't fall off after the first room. For vertical models, this is an important parameter because holding a heavy unit in the air for the sake of cleaning the stairs is a dubious pleasure. The manufacturer also included a motorized mini-brush for upholstery and a narrow crevice tool in the box, so cleaning doesn't turn into a quest for the right tool.

      The new products are already available for sale, and their appearance in Russia is accompanied by a recommended price of 19,990 rubles. This is a case where a brand with a premium status decides to come down to earth, offering its technologies without outrageously high price tags. They can be purchased both on the official website and on marketplaces, as well as from retail partners, so those wishing to update their cleaning inventory can start monitoring availability.

      Now we just have to wait for these vacuum cleaners to learn to take out the trash by themselves, but until that happens, we will still have to carry the container ourselves.
