DreameTech D9 Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner (NA Version) - REVIEW
Cleaning your house is usually one of those less-attractive weekly tasks that can easily take you a long of time to finish. Not only that, but cleaning an entire house can also be a very exhausting task. With that said, consider getting a smart robot vacuum cleaner for your home, as having one of these little smart fellows can quickly get you a ton of free time that you'd most likely prefer to spend with family and friends other than having to spend cleaning an entire house. This brings us to the DreameTech D9 Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner.
The DreameTech D9 Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner is a 2-in-1 Vacuum and Mopping smart robot vacuum cleaner that can easily satisfy the cleaning needs of families with kids and pets.
This smart robot vacuum cleaner can do it all. Thanks to its strong Suction Power of 3000Pa, it can vacuum, sweep and mop just about any type of debris in its way, meaning that it can effectively remove all dust, pet hair / pet dander, and just about any other particles that it passes through.
Best of all, thanks to its ultra-smart Lidar Navigation System, this smart robot vacuum cleaner can quickly learn the whole layout of your home to then build its own personal smart maps, which basically help it to easily detect and avoid any obstacles in its path.
Lastly, it also features many different Cleaning Modes, as well as Voice Assistant Support to Amazon Alexa, and you can even control several of its settings via its Smartphone Companion App (the Mi Home App - discussed at the end of the article).
Now, let's have a more detailed look at this smart robot vacuum cleaner and check out everything that the DreameTech D9 has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the robot's size, the DreameTech D9 Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner comes at a reasonably compact size, measuring just 13.77 inches long by 13.77 inches wide by 3.77 inches tall (350 x 350 x 96.8 mm), and this smart robot vacuum cleaner is also fairly lightweight, weighing only 8.37 lbs. (3.8 kg).
Additionally, its minimalist design portrays a beautiful white body with a glossy finish.
This smart robot vacuum cleaner is mainly made of high-quality plastic, which not only makes the whole unit quite durable, but also gives it a very stylish and modern look.
Now, moving on to the robot's actual components. Starting right at the bottom, on each side of the robot's body, we have its ultra-durable wheels, which are powered by the robot's powerful Japanese Nidec Brushless Motor. Additionally, right at the front, we also have one Universal Wheel.
The robot's side wheels can cross just about any obstacles that measure up to 8 inches (20 mm) tall, which basically means that this smart robot vacuum cleaner can cross just about any doorsill, as well as rails and carpets with absolute ease.
It's also worth to mention that the robot's Nidec Brushless Motor works at a Rated Power of 40W, and can offer the DreameTech D9 Robot a Maximum Suction Power of 3000Pa for an intense and powerful suction performance that allows the robot to effectively remove any hair, dust, and other particles from its pathway.
Additionally, the DreameTech D9 can also recognizes carpets automatically, for which the robot will automatically boost its Suction Power pressure so that it can more easily pick up any dirt or mess from both the carpet's surface as well as deep within the carpet, and that ultimately ensures that the D9 is able to achieve the best cleaning results.
Still at the bottom, we can also find the robot's dedicated 0.1mm extra-thin Spiral Roller Brush (meaning its main brush), which is integrated right at the center of its body, and is responsible for sweeping dust, dirt, pet dander, and any other particles directly into the robot vacuum's opening. This central Spiral Roller Brush includes a rubber type of brushes as well as several bristles that help the robot to more easily pick up any debris in its pathway.
Other than the robot's main brush, you’ll also notice one set of Side Brushes, which rotate horizontally and are responsible for sweeping debris towards the center of the vacuum. While these brushes don’t do much on a carpet, they are still great at expanding the robot's maximum cleaning area on any solid surfaces. Since we're on the topic, the robot's Maximum Sweeping Area is exactly 2691 ft² (250 m²).
Now, moving on to the top side of the robot's body, located right inside the housing, we have its 270ml Intelligent Water Tank, which is what is used for the robot's mopping function.
Not only that, but this smart robot vacuum cleaner also comes equipped with a built-in high-quality 0.3 microns HEPA Filter, which is both washable and also easy to replace.
Moreover, at the very front side of the robot we can also find built-in High-Precision Infrared Smart Sensors that can are very effective, empowering the robot with both anti-collision and anti-fall security functionalities, which basically give it a full perception of its surrounding environment.
As mentioned before, Thanks to its Smart Lidar Navigation System, the D9 can learn the entire layout of your home and then builds personal smart maps, which, in other words, is what allows the robot to smoothly navigate and clean in neat and efficient rows.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
Right at the top of the unit, we also have a simple row of Soft Touch Buttons, which can be used to perform the D9’s most basic functions.
With the buttons, users can Start a Cleaning Cycle, enabled its Spot Clean function, or Send Back the robot directly to its Charging Station.
Still, it's important to note that these buttons are only meant to be used as basic controls, as they only scratch the surface of what the D9 can actually do, mainly because most of the robot's controls are actually performed through the robot's Smartphone Companion App (meaning the Mi Home App - which we’ll cover in just a bit, coming right at the end of the article).
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Now, just like any other smart robot vacuum cleaner, the DreameTech D9 Robot comes equipped with a high-capacity battery, which, for its case, is a powerful 5200mAh Lithium-Ion Battery that can offer you an ultra-long runtime of up to 150 minutes, which is just enough to clean up to 2153 ft² (200 m²) in one single charge (with the robot running at low power).
Additionally, since the robot also integrates a Smart Battery Managing System, the DreameTech D9 can automatically detect when its running low on power, and whenever that happens, the robot will start moving directly back to its dedicated Charging Station.
OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES
Multiple Cleaning Modes
The DreameTech D9 Robot also features Multiple Cleaning Modes, from which you can select to have it only cleaning specific rooms (Clean By Rooms Mode), to cover the Whole House (Full Cleaning Mode), or even to have the robot cleaning twice for a better result (Double Cleaning Mode).
Additionally, you can also further configure its mapping system by simply defining Virtual Walls to have No-Go Zones, thus forcing the robot those specific areas, which can be just about anything (like your child’s playing area for example).
Voice Assistant Support
Best of all, for Smart Home fans, the DreameTech D9 also features Voice Assistant Support, which can be enabled by connecting it to any of your Amazon Alexa devices. Then, once you have the robot connected to Alexa, your DreameTech D9 will be able to respond to any of your Voice Commands.
THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP - The Mi Home App (Mijia App)
As mentioned before, most of the robot's functionalities can be controlled directly from its Smartphone Companion App, called the Mi Home App, which is available to download for free for both iOS and Android devices.
Overall, the App is extremely intuitive and very easy to use, and with it, you can configure the robot to do an amazing job at plotting out your home's entire layout.
Once the robot finishes mapping the entire house, you can then use the App to set names for each area and also configure the robot to vacuum those areas according to your needs.
Other than that, the App also allows you to adjust the robot's Suction Power and Water Distribution, and also lets you check its current battery level.
Lastly, I'd also like to mention that the company recently announced that the App will soon have a 3-floor Map Memory function available (somewhere during mid-April 2021).
Below, you can also find an embedded video tutorial by the company that shows you exactly how to connect your DreameTech D9 with the Mi Home App:
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
The DreameTech D9 comes neatly packed inside a durable cardboard box.
Inside each package, users will find: their DreameTech D9 Robot, the robot's dedicated Charging Station and Power Adapter, its dedicated Spiral Roller Brush along with its single set of Side Brushes, its included Anti-Bacteria Mop Cloth Attachment, and a User Manual.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The DreameTech D9 Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner is a 2-in-1 Vacuum and Mopping smart robot vacuum cleaner that can easily satisfy the cleaning needs of families with kids and pets.
Overall, this robot is fairly easy to use and does a great job and cleaning your entire home in a smart fashion. All of the unit's functionalities are fairly easy to control (either via its Control Panel or via the App). Additionally, its Amazon Alexa integration makes it the perfect cleaning robot companion for any Smart Home.
