CONCLUSION

   With 3 dry and wet cordless vacuums having arrived in the lab so far, I decided to make dedicated charts for them, makes it far easier to compare similar models so this was the next logical move. Now as you tell from those said charts all 3 models perform very close to each other, both in terms of battery life and noise levels (the i5 not so much in noise levels). But which does a better job at cleaning? Honestly since I have all three here (at least right now) I was able to test them with 5 identical scenarios (I used spilled milk, coca cola, yogurt, mud and oil) and the results varied quite a bit really with the Tineco Floor One S5 doing a slightly better job with liquids (namely milk and coca cola), the H11 Max doing a slightly better job with thicker and more solid ones (yogurt, mud and oil) and the i5 Pro actually taking the third place (it just doesn’t wipe as fast and deep as the other two – it is quite faster to recharge however and also has an UV sterilization feature which the other two lack). Overall, I am very satisfied with the performance of the Dreame H11 Max, yes, I would like the ability to manually control the speed of the motor (would also allow me to take more accurate measurements since auto isn’t stable) and a WiFi smart app would be nice to have but those are clearly not significant drawbacks.

   As I type this review the Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Cordless Vacuum retails for USD499.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 469.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is set pretty much on par with what the competition asks (still not quite “affordable”). At the end of the day the Dreame H11 Max is right up there with the Tineco Floor One S5 so whichever you decide on you’ll certainly be satisfied. Yes, the S5 has a nice WiFi app but at the same time i like the design of the H11 Max better (not to mention that it also comes with voice prompts and a larger LED display) so it basically comes down to what your priorities are. That aside however the H11 Max by Dreame is without doubt a great wet and dry vacuum and for that it deserves the Platinum Award.
