If you’re looking to make your cleaning regimen smarter, not harder, the Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop is currently 53% off on Amazon for a limited time — its lowest price in the past few months. An upgraded version of the PC-Mag vetted Dreame X30 Ultra, this model has stronger suction, a hot-water wash, and other improvements. 

This X40 has 12,000 Pa suction power, compared to the X30’s 11,000 Pa. The base station includes hot wash capabilities, allowing for a deeper clean on the mop cycle, which features dual spinning pads and a RoboSwing detection to reach tricky corners and under low-profile furniture. It also has improved obstacle avoidance thanks to a camera, structured light, and lasers, making it one of the top-ranked models for navigation. 

This app-controlled robot vacuum can be activated with a tap on your phone, even when you’re not home. Its dock is larger due to premium features like a hot-water pad wash, mop reattachment, and auto empty/refill features. If you have the space and want the full spectrum of cleaning options, it’s a great choice, but if you live in a small space, a compact option with a less substantial footprint might be better.

Battery life offers around 194 minutes of run time, which should cover approximately 3,300 square feet. It’s worth noting that this model only supports 2.4G wifi, and there are some mixed reviews about the app’s functionality. Some users also report that the dustbin auto-empty feature can be unreliable at times.

If you’ve got the room and budget, the Dreame X40 robot vacuum and mop still comes at a premium, but it offers a ton of high-end features that are rare to find for under $1000.
