These models combine suction of 8000Pa and mopping into one device making them a practical solution for everyday cleaning. But what is the difference between them and their counterparts in the past?

Convenience

Many of the top robotic cleaner and mop vacuum and mop combos on the market eliminate the need for two separate cleaning tools, as they perform both tasks at the same time. These smart machines function independently and clean according to pre-set schedules and eliminate the requirement for human intervention.

Virtual Boundaries

A smart auto vacuum and mop that incorporates mapping technology is a game-changer for anyone who lives in a multi-story residence. Dreame's mapping and virtual boundary feature lets you create "no-go" zones for your robot without the necessity of tape or physical barriers. You can draw boundaries using the drawing tools available in the app to draw straight or curly lines that stop your robot from entering certain spaces. This is ideal for keeping your robot out of areas with delicate items such as pet food bowls, or other areas you would not want to be in.

Users have reported that Dreame vacuums clean faster using this advanced navigational technology. Users also report that their smart vacuums are more efficient in completing a cleaning cycle than models that do not map.

You can set up a virtual boundary for your Dreame at any time. It's best to do this once the area is clean and clear of obstructions. To do this, you must ensure that your robot is equipped with a clear map and all doors are open before starting a cleaning cycle. In the app, select the icon that resembles the wall or no-go zone and then draw with your finger the boundary. When you save the boundaries your robot will be able to recognize them in subsequent cleaning cycles.

Keep your robot's sensors clean for optimal mapping and navigating performance. Clean the dock's charging contacts and the sensor bar in the autonomous vacuum to prevent debris buildup that could hinder the movement of your robot or hinder accuracy of mapping. Make sure you regularly clean and inspect the wheels of your robot to maintain their good working condition. Recalibrating your robotic device regularly will improve the accuracy of navigation and mapping.
