Dreame X40 Master — Robot Vacuum & Mop

The X40 Master won me over with MopExtend RoboSwing. The mop extends 4 cm beyond the chassis to clean skirting boards and corners. Before, I had to mop by hand after the robot. Now it is spotless. The extendable and retractable side brush is also very clever. The automatic water filling saves an enormous amount of time. Highly recommended.

I connected the X40 Master's station to the utility room water supply and have not touched it since. Water fills and drains automatically. Combined with 90-day auto-emptying, this is a fully autonomous robot. MopExtend RoboSwing cleans edges perfectly. The 12,000 Pa is more than adequate for our home with hard floors and thin rugs. Brilliant piece of kit.

After debating between the X40 and X50 Master, I chose the X40. MopExtend RoboSwing, auto water fill and the compact 28 cm 8-in-1 station deliver ninety percent of the X50 experience for considerably less. The 12,000 Pa handles our hard floors well. The all-rubber brush lifting 5 mm on carpets is well designed. Only regret: no 60 mm ProLeap climbing.

What I appreciate most about the X40 Master is the side brush that extends 10 mm for better sweeping AND lifts 10 mm to avoid pushing debris against furniture. It is a clever detail that makes a real difference daily. MopExtend RoboSwing completes the picture by cleaning skirting boards. The 28 cm station is discreet. A solid robot overall.

The X40 Master is an excellent robot for hard floors and thin rugs. MopExtend RoboSwing is remarkable for edges and the auto water filling is superb. However, on our thick carpets the 12,000 Pa shows its limitations compared with the X50 Master's 20,000 Pa. For a carpet-free home, this is an excellent choice. With heavy carpets, consider the X50.
