Dreame Joins the Robot Vacuum Arm Ranks with Its Own Prototype at CES 2025

The robot vacuum landscape is getting more interesting by the minute. Earlier this year, Roborock stunned audiences with its Saros Z70, a robot vacuum that comes equipped with a mechanical arm for picking up objects. But it seems that Roborock isn’t the only company working on such a device, as rival company Dreame has unveiled its own robot vacuum with an arm at CES 2025.

Dreame’s prototype robot vacuum, which is still unnamed, was on display at the company’s booth, showcasing a more substantial arm compared to Roborock’s Saros Z70. The thicker arm had a larger “claw” that appeared capable of handling slightly heavier objects. In fact, the company claims that its arm can pick up objects weighing up to 300 grams, similar to Roborock’s claims.

While Dreame wasn’t demonstrating the actual arm’s ability to pick up objects at CES 2025, attendees were able to witness the arm extending and retracting multiple times. This prototype also shared a similar feature with the X50, another product from Dreame, in that it rocked onto “legs” as it moved around.

According to a Dreame representative at the booth, the company has been working on the prototype for some time but decided to accelerate its plans for the vacuum at CES 2025. It’s likely that the company wanted to catch up with the competition and stay in the spotlight, given its location across from Roborock’s booth. The competition between the two companies is set to get even more intense, and it will be interesting to see how their products evolve in the coming year.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the key differences between Dreame’s robot vacuum arm and Roborock’s Saros Z70?
A: The most notable difference is that Dreame’s arm is thicker and has a larger “claw,” suggesting it can handle slightly heavier objects. However, more information will be needed to determine the exact capabilities of both devices.

Q: Can the Dreame robot vacuum arm pick up heavy objects?
A: According to the company, the arm is capable of picking up objects weighing up to 300 grams.

Q: Is the Dreame robot vacuum arm available for purchase?
A: Not yet, as the device is still a prototype and not commercially available.

Conclusion:

The robot vacuum industry is moving fast, and companies like Dreame and Roborock are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The introduction of robot vacuums with mechanical arms is an exciting development, offering the potential for more efficient and flexible cleaning solutions. As the competition between these companies heats up, we can expect to see even more innovative products in the coming year. With the prospect of a robot vacuum arm-off between Roborock and Dreame, we can’t wait to see what the future holds.
