INTRODUCTION

   Even though my pets have been the primary reason i reluctantly decided to start testing home appliances like robot and cordless vacuum cleaners i recently found out that there's something even "worse" around, toddlers. Yes, pets leave lots of hair on just about everything so cordless and robot vacuum cleaners are great solutions for that but toddlers take things to a whole new level and i imagine this is partially why dry and wet cordless vacuums made their market debut a few years back in the first place. I mean let's face it, some of the hardest things to clean are spilled milk, juice, cereal and numerous other small "disasters" toddlers clearly excel at causing (let alone if you happen to have not one but two). With their flagship H11 Max Wet and Dry Vacuum (VWV8) Dreame all but guarantees effortless floor cleaning and today I’m taking them up on that.

   Dreame Technology, established in 2017, is an innovative company with the vision to "enhance the living quality of global users". The Company focus on high-end cleaning appliances by leveraging astrodynamics technologies. At the end of 2017, Dreame joined the Xiaomi Ecological Chain, as the driving force and leading enterprise of smart household cleaning appliances. After years of hard work, Dreame has come up with a series of core inventions and over 150 core patents, such as the high-speed motor, monocular machine vision, SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) and the multi-cone cyclone separation, among which multiple patents are in a global leading position.

   Just like the Tineco Floor One S5 (review here) and the Liectroux i5 Pro before it (review here) the H11 Max is a dual purpose cordless vacuum since not only can it sweep the floor from both solid dirt and liquids but at the same time it can also mop, quite effectively at that. This is largely thanks to a smart sensor located at its base which essentially detects wet and dry debris (mess as Dreame calls it) and automatically adjusts suction power (brushless motor with a max power of 200W/10.000PA) in real-time. Needless to say, the H11 Max also features a large removable cleaning roller (560 rotations per minute for optimal results) complete with a self-cleaning function, large top LED screen (indicates remaining battery life, dirt detection and error reporting), voice assistant and two water tanks for storing of clean (900ml) and dirty water (500ml). Finally, inside the somewhat futuristic design of the H11 Max Dreame has placed an 4000mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack which allows for the vacuum to be used continuously for up to 36 minutes. So, as you can certainly see from its features and specifications the H11 Max Wet And Dry Cordless Vacuum by Dreame seems to easily take on the Floor One S5 by Tineco so let's see if that's really the case.
