3i

Dreame
Up to three
All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | 3i G10+ | Dreame L10 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodCapable but dock footprint and battery capacity exceed compact-home needs; budget models serve this tier more efficiently. | Good160-min runtime covers under-1,500 sqft reliably; single-pass execution is typical. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodLiDAR + full dock cover this range in single session. Mixed-surface coverage on 2,000-3,000 sqft homes documented in user reports. | GoodOpen-plan 1,500-3,000 sqft homes work well; dock return may trigger above 2,800 sqft. Structured floorplans finish in one run. |
| Over 3,000 | DependsDocumented range on full battery is 2,500-3,200 sqft depending on mop engagement. Multi-session runs required for over-3,000 sqft; manual recharge needed. | DependsRuntime peaks at 160 min. Homes above 3,000 sqft require dock return mid-clean; second cycle adds 5-10 min mapping overhead. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | GoodSuction and mop optimized for hard surfaces. Extendable mop eliminates separate mopping pass; water tank covers 400-500 sqft per fill. | GoodDual-laser excels on sealed hard floors and tile; precision obstacle detection prevents bumps. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodLiDAR and suction rated for low-pile carpet per manufacturer specs. Per-room no-mop zones recommended to prevent pad clogging. | GoodLow-pile carpet handled well; suction at 2,200 Pa is adequate. Visible debris rare after passes. |
| High pile / shag | PoorOwner reports document suction loss and mop-pad tangling on high-pile and shag carpet. Manufacturer specs silent on this surface type. | PoorOwner reports show suction loss on shag and high-pile; dual-laser does not compensate for power ceiling. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodVacuums first; the mop pad is optional. | GoodVacuums first; the mop pad is optional. |

A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Charge time.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Debris compression is real mechanical progress, but it adds cost and dock footprint. Owners not shedding multi-pet households gain a meaningful win; compact-home owners pay for a feature they do not need.
Extendable mop eliminates a separate mopping pass, but mop-pad clogging on carpet and manual water refill keep hands-on burden higher than flagship self-washing + auto-refill systems.
The L10 Pro adds 3D obstacle avoidance the D9 does not have, and rated suction rises from 3,000 Pa to 4,000 Pa. Mopping hardware is unchanged: the same flat pad, no lift, no dock washing.
The premium over the D9 buys obstacle avoidance and a third more rated suction. It buys nothing on the mop side; the pad, the 270 ml tank and the manual rinse are identical.
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
