Dream Dreamebot F9 Pro review: initial setup

The procedure for setting up the DreameBot F9 Pro vacuum cleaner is very simple. Simply install the DreameBot app on your device and connect the robot vacuum cleaner to it. Follow the instructions to start the vacuum cleaner. After connecting it to the app, the next step is mapping. There is a quick map option and you need to enable it to confirm it. As soon as you activate it, the robot will go to every nook and cranny of your house to map the area it needs to clean.

Mapping is carried out using the Lidar system and a map is created automatically. Mapping is fast and efficient since the robot returns to its initial position in a very short time. If there are areas of your home that don't need cleaning, lock them off before mapping. Depending on the area, mapping can even take less than a minute. The mapping is quite accurate and after mapping, it goes to the charging station to recharge.

There are a multitude of cleaning options visible on the app. Choose the options according to your needs. The user can schedule cleaning for the future, view cleaning history and also get information on charge levels and other parameters through the app. The robot vacuum cleaner connects to WiFi and can be controlled even remotely. There is the option of choosing a particular area to clean and not the entire house. Once the mapping is completed, there is no need to repeat it. The lidar system also detects all obstacles and objects so that the robot can avoid them easily.

Dream robot F9 Pro review: Cleaning and Mopping Floors

The DreameBot F9 Pro robot vacuum cleaner makes very little noise when cleaning. Although you can hear something moving, the sound is tolerable and does not bother the user. The default cleaning mode includes a robot going to each part of the house. The brush loosens the dust and the vacuum cleaner sucks up the dust on the surface inside the machine.

The cleaning result is quite good because I didn't find any dust after cleaning. The vacuum cleaner can easily go under sofas, tables and other furniture, ensuring there is no dust or dirt in the house. Dust accumulated in the nooks and crannies of the house is also well removed by DreameBot F9 Pro. It traces its path and collects all the dust on the way. The lidar system detects obstacles and the robot changes trajectory or bounces depending on the objects. It follows a specific pattern. He passes twice so even if there is a little dust left, he picks up the same thing on the second round.

You can move chairs or other furniture away if you want even better results, especially under the dining table. The robot vacuum cleaner can be a very wise choice for households where husband and wife are both professionals and do not have time to do housework. By vacuuming, you will even know the progress made. Once cleaning is complete, it automatically goes to the charging station to recharge. Browsing and cleaning performance are both pretty decent.

Dream robot F9 Pro review: Battery and other features

The DreameBot F9 Pro packs a 3,200mAh battery, enough to clean a 2-room house at a time. If the house is slightly larger and the battery runs out while cleaning, it will return to the dock to recharge, then pick up where it left off. The powerful suction comes with 4 adjustable levels and this 2-in-1 vacuum and mop is also compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant.

Dream Robot F9 Pro review: Interview

The DreameBot F9 Pro comes with a 570ml bin that should be cleaned every 2-3 days depending on the size of your home and the waste it accumulates. The process of removing and cleaning the bin is simple and therefore will not be complicated or take too long.

The mop pad should be cleaned after each use so that it gives good performance and lasts longer. Before activating the cleaning function, you will need to fill the water tank. The main brush should also be cleaned regularly. This is because the brush collects hair, threads and other particles which, if not removed, would impair its performance. Weekly cleaning would be enough. Overall, the F9 Pro requires some attention from the user.

Similar to other robot vacuums, this one also requires replacement of some components as they experience wear and tear. These include HEPA filters, brushes, cleaning pads and much more. The app says these have an average lifespan of 150 to 300 hours. The app also allows you to keep an eye on the status of these components.

Dream robot F9 Pro Verdict: Should you buy it?

The Dreame DreameBot F9 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner is an affordable home cleaning device that not only offers convenience but also good cleaning while saving users time. It comes with a large bin, a decent-sized battery, app connectivity, Google voice assistant support, WiFi connectivity, and a sleek, compact design. The vacuum cleaner offers good cleaning performance and also requires very little maintenance. It can vacuum and clean and takes very little time to map the area. If you are looking for a robot vacuum cleaner on a budget, DreameBot F9 Pro can be your choice.
