4.0/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Very strong 7000 Pascal suction handles debris well on carpets and hard floors
  • Extendable mop arm reaches within 2mm of walls and furniture edges
  • Can lift mops 10.5mm or remove them entirely at the base before vacuuming carpets
Reviewers push back
  • Navigation can be inefficient with slow speeds and misidentification of objects like wall corners and rug edges
  • Cleaning solution and replacement mop pads are expensive consumables
  • Base station tray design with holes requires separate cleaning of both tray and dock interior
Reviewers agree the L20 Ultra is one of the most feature-rich robot vacuums available, with strong suction and innovative mopping technology, though navigation quirks and high consumable costs frustrate some users.
— best for: Homeowners with large mixed-surface areas who want automation and are willing to maintain consumables for features like automated water plumbing, detergent injection, and self-removing mop pads.

I’m completely thrilled with this robot, it’s crazy amazing. We have all engineered hardwood floors which have been cleaned on hands and knees initially then that changed to a stick power mop . Both great but the stick mop created a white ‘haze’ which was annoying- this using distilled water!? I researched robots and decided on this, and I truly couldn’t be happier.

I love the dream L20. I love that it can be mapped and programmed to do exactly what you need on the day. I love that it self cleans. It very very really gets stuck and that’s only if something is not picked up properly and gets tangled up. I have tiles that usually leave streaks and this leaves my tiles perfect! And the carpets look like new due to now getting a daily vacuum. Highly recommend the harveynorman.com.au
