  • MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete Robot Vacuum Review: Can It Outperform the Dreame Aqua10?
    We tested the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete, Dreame’s latest sub-brand flagship robot vacuum and mop combo, to see how it stacks up against the Dreame Aqua 10 Roller. Both impressed, but the Z60’s superior mopping performance and hair management helped it come out on top in our tests.
  • How Hot Do Robot Vacuum Mop Docks Really Get? We Tested the Top Brands to Find Out
    Modern robot vacuums are introducing advanced mop-washing docks that claim to use hotter water than ever before — even near boiling. We tested leading models to measure real dock temperatures and see whether those claims hold up in real-world conditions.
  • How Vacuum Wars Tests Hard Floor Cleaners
    At Vacuum Wars, we’ve developed a detailed, repeatable testing process to evaluate hard floor cleaners — also known as vacuum mop combos. These machines combine vacuuming and mopping functions, and our testing methods reveal which models perform best across multiple categories, from suction power to stain removal and water management.
  • Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller Review: A Flagship Robot Vacuum and Mop With Roller-Style Cleaning
    We tested the Dreame Aqua 10 Ultra Roller, Dreame’s 2025 flagship robot vacuum and mop combo. With its new roller-style mopping system, AI obstacle avoidance, and high-heat self-cleaning dock, it delivers impressive performance—though slower navigation and hair processing quirks kept it just shy of the very top of our rankings.
  • Robot Vacuum Threshold Climb Test – MOVA Z60 Ultra vs Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller
    Threshold climbing is becoming a defining feature for premium robot vacuums. With stair-climbing models on the horizon, we tested the MOVA Z60 and Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller to see which one conquered the tallest single threshold.

    This is our in-depth Ecovacs Deebot X11 review covering the full Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCyclone system. We bought the X11 ourselves and ran it through Vacuum Wars’ standard tests to see how it stacks up on suction, airflow, carpet deep cleaning, pet hair, mopping, and navigation.

What We Look For

In our reviews we look at features and details that our viewers and guests have expressed are important to them. This can include things like:

  • Ease of Use – The weight of an upright or cordless vacuum is important just as much as smooth handling and useful attachments. Robot vacuums also need to be intuitive and easy to use.
  • Pet hair and hair wrap – How does the vacuum cope with pet hair? Does it clog easily with hair or will the hair wrap around the vacuum brush roll?
  • Smart Vacuums and Smart Home Features – More and more vacuums are introducing smart features that incorporate with smart home systems or allow the vacuum to adapt to floor types and levels of debris.
  • Filtration – Emphasizing the importance of advanced filtration technology to prevent fine debris from recirculating in your home. We think this is important for all homes, but people who are particularly concerned with allergies will also find this helpful.
  • Power – Assessing vacuum suction and power.
  • Debris Pickup – Last but not least, let’s not forget how important basic debris pickup is to choosing the best vacuum. Some vacuums will have great debris pickup regardless the floor type, and some may just do better on one floor type more than another. Either way, we can help you find the right vacuum for you.

We value the trust you place in Vacuum Wars, striving constantly to deserve it by offering in-depth, real-world insights. Your trust fuels our commitment to rigorous evaluations that genuinely help in choosing the right vacuum for your needs.
