CES 2026 delivered some of the most ambitious vacuum technology we’ve ever seen. From stair-climbing robot vacuums to hot water mopping systems and robotic companions, here’s everything that stood out on the show floor.
At CES 2026, Dreame is signaling a shift in how it thinks about robot vacuums — not as incremental upgrades, but as platforms designed to overcome the everyday limitations that still define the category. Its latest robot vacuums sit at the center of that message, highlighting Dreame’s push toward ultra-thin designs, moving and organizing clutter, more specialized mopping systems, and even concept hardware aimed at multi-floor cleaning.
Dreame has opened a new physical retail store at Garden State Plaza in New Jersey, marking the brand’s first retail location on the U.S. East Coast. The opening expands Dreame’s physical retail presence beyond its existing store in Los Angeles and represents a broader move beyond online-only sales channels.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller has been removed from our Top 20 list after a surge of Amazon complaints about water leaks, which appear to originate from the base station. The issue did not occur in our lab testing but has become a recurring concern among buyers.
The Dreame Matrix10 Ultra is Dreame’s latest and most innovative robot vacuum and mop combo, featuring a unique mop-switching system not found on any other model. We purchased one and tested it over several weeks to see how it performs in real-world use. In this Dreame Matrix10 Ultra review, we break down its pros and cons, whether it justifies the premium price, and who it’s best suited for.
Robot vacuums can range from $150 to $2,500, with dramatically different features at each tier. In our Best Robot Vacuum for Any Budget – Late 2025 guide, we break down the winners by price range to help every shopper find the right fit—whether you need an affordable starter model or a top-tier robot vacuum mop combo with advanced capabilities.
Dreame Technology has been named a CES Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree for three products, including the Aqua10 Ultra Roller robot vacuum and the H15 Pro Heat wet/dry vacuum. With more than 3,600 submissions, this year’s program marks one of the most competitive cycles in the event’s history.
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.
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.
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.
