Welcome to Vacuum Wars!
2
And to our review of the Dreame  L60 Pro Ultra Robot vacuum.
3
The brand launched this model along with  three others at the “Dreame Next” event, which we attended in April of this year.
4
We bought one and put it through several  weeks of Hands-On testing in our studio.
5
In this review, we will cover what we really  liked about this model, as well as some weaknesses we noticed to see if the L60 Pro Ultra could  land a spot on our top 20 robot vacuum list.
6
Links are in the description  and let's get started.
7
First, the basics. This is a robot vacuum and mop combo, and it sits at the top of Dreame’s new L60 lineup. The L60 Series follows the successful L50 Ultra, which held the number one spot on our  top robot vacuum list for several months.
8
Historically, Dreame’s L Series has occupied more  of the mid-range space in the company’s lineup, sitting below the premium X Series.
9
But the L60 Pro Ultra pushes more into  premium territory, both in features and price.
10
Moving on to the pros, this  model is a strong vacuum cleaner.
11
It did well at its main job of sweeping  up debris of many different sizes from the surfaces of both hard floors and carpet. Dreame says it has 35,000 pascals of suction, which sounds impressive, but official suction  numbers don’t always tell the whole story, so we put it through our own tests. In our suction bench test, it scored above average, and it performed well in our airflow  test, which is something we often associate with stronger real-world vacuuming performance. This seemed to play out in our carpet deep clean test, where we work sand into medium-pile carpet  and measure how much the robot is able to remove.
12
The L60 was able to get 90% of the sand,  which is much higher than the average.
13
The brush design on the L60 is  Dreame’s Hyperstream Duobrush, which is really two brushes that  roll counter to one another to funnel hair into the dustbin so that  it does not wrap around the brushes.
14
The side brush, which sweeps debris  into the path of the main brush, also has an anti-tangle feature  and extends into corners.
15
We check anti-tangle systems using 7-inch hair, and Dreame’s DuoBrush system has  a great track record in this test.
16
The L60 did it again with 0% of  the hairs tangling around either the main brush or the side brush,  much better than the average of 26%.
17
The vacuum also did really well in our pet  hair pickup test, where we flatten two and a half inch hairs onto carpet to recreate  how it would appear in a real life home.
18
The L60 removed 93.5% of the hairs in our test, which is a great score  compared to the average of 82%.
19
Obstacle avoidance was another big Pro.
20
The L60 uses an AI-powered camera in combination with dual-laser 3D structured  light and an LED light assist.
21
The system performed exceptionally well in all  of our standard tests and in our torture test, successfully avoiding 22  out of 24 possible objects.
22
This was even better than the L50’s high score,  and we really liked that model both in our studio and in our home tests, so we feel good  about how the L60 could perform in real homes.
23
In addition to excellent obstacle avoidance, the l60 Pro Ultra is equipped with Dreame’s  new ProLeap threshold climbing Hardware.
24
This system is rated to clear a  tiered threshold of up to 88 mm tall, with the first step being 45 mm.
25
In our studio test, the L60 was able  to cross a single threshold of 51 mm, which is higher than its official rating, so if threshold climbing is important for  your home this is a really strong feature.
26
The Pro Ultra is the only one of the L60 series  that is rated to go this high, as the L60 Ultra is rated for 60 mm on a tiered threshold, and  the other two members are rated for 40 mm.
27
The L60 model is three and a  half inches tall, or 89 mm, which is lower than average and helps the  robot access space under low furniture.
28
Dock features are another Pro.
29
It washes the mops at 212 degrees  Fahrenheit, and dries them with hot air.
30
The station automatically empties the  robot’s Dustbin into a disposable bag, and it supports fast charging.
31
It automatically mixes  detergent into the water tank, and the robot can leave its mop pads in the  dock automatically for vacuum-only runs, which is an extra layer of protection for carpets  so that the mop does not get the fibers wet.
32
This brings us to the mopping  features, which is another Pro.
33
The L60 family uses dual spinning mop pads, and one of the highlights of the Pro UItra model  is that it uses hot water to mop the floor.
34
The robot heats the water to  40° C, which is 104 Fahrenheit, and the hot water helps  break down and remove messes.
35
In addition to leaving the mop pads in the  dock, the mop pads themselves can lift 10.5 mm.
36
This lets the robot clean a mix  of hard floors and carpets in a single pass without getting the carpet wet.
37
The App is one of our favorites in the  industry, so that's definitely a pro.
38
It has a number of features for  room and cleaning customizations, no go zones, map editing, and scheduling.
39
The camera on the obstacle avoidance  system is accessible through the app, and you can use it for remote  viewing and driving the robot.
40
The app also has more detailed  features, like a setting to clean in the same direction as the floor,  which minimizes the appearance of streaks.
41
You can integrate the robot with third party  voice assistants, but it also has an onboard assistant for voice commands, and  the robot is Matter compatible.
42
Before we move on to the cons, we want to  point out that none of these are exactly big deal breakers for most homes, but  they were weaknesses that we noticed.
43
The first drawback is that while the  mopping features themselves are very robust, mopping performance was a little mixed.
44
It did a good job in our dried stain test, scoring above the average, but it used a lot  more water than we like, which is something that we penalize on mops because overly wet  floors can lead to streaking when they dry.
45
When we combine the stain cleaning with the  water penalty score, the combined mopping score was a little below the average, and  we would have preferred to see this higher.
46
You can set the water flow to a lower  setting, but we found that there was not a big difference between higher and  lower settings in our measurements.
47
Another weak point was navigation.
48
This robot uses Dreame’s  Versalift retracting LiDAR, which drops into the robot’s body  when it senses low clearances.
49
This helps the robot bring its profile down so that it can access spaces under  tight spaces like sofas or beds.
50
The efficiency on this was  a little lower than average, which means that the robot can take  a little longer to route a path.
51
Battery efficiency was also  a little under the average.
52
The Pro Ultra uses a larger battery  pack than the other L60 models, likely to accommodate the water  heating feature in the mop.
53
Between the slightly low scores in  navigation and Battery efficiency, the robot covered a smaller area  per charge than the average.
54
With a recharge and resume feature,  this is not likely to be a huge deal breaker for most homes, but if you have  a large floor plan or a lot of carpet, which can drain a battery faster,  it is something to consider.
55
This is a new release, so there aren’t  a lot of user reviews, but if a lot of negative feedback starts coming in, the L60  Pro Ultra could move around in our rankings.
56
But for the time being, it has secured itself a  very high place in our top 20 robot vacuums list.
57
With a powerful vacuum, high-performing  obstacle avoidance, high threshold climbing, and low profile, this is an agile  and effective floor cleaner.
58
To see this and all of our favorite robot vacuums,  be sure to check out our top 20 robot vacuum list.
59
We also have lists based on  features like obstacle avoidance, and we rank our favorite products based on price.
60
Our reviews are never sponsored, and  we purchase all of the models we test, so that you know you only get our real opinions.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
