Third-party reviews

What customers like about DreameBot F9 Mistral

  • Excellent value for money, often considered one of the best budget options
  • Strong 2500Pa suction power for effective cleaning on hard floors and carpets
  • Slim 8cm design allows it to clean under furniture and in tight spaces
  • Good, efficient vSLAM navigation mapping and room management capabilities
  • Combines vacuuming and mopping in a single pass with a 200ml electric water tank

What customers don't like about DreameBot F9 Mistral

  • No-go zones and virtual barriers can be inconsistent or unreliable
  • Initial app setup and Wi-Fi connectivity can be challenging
  • Can struggle with navigation in the dark due to vSLAM technology
  • Manual cleaning and maintenance of the mopping pad is required
  • Customer service response times can be slow

Verdict

The DreameBot F9 Mistral is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop featuring a 2500 Pa NIDEC digital motor with 4 adjustable suction levels, a 600 ml dustbin, and a 200 ml smart electric water tank. Powered by a 5200 mAh lithium-ion battery, it delivers an impressive runtime of up to 150 minutes, making it highly effective for deep cleaning large areas in a single charge. Its main pros include an ultra-slim 8 cm profile that easily fits under low furniture, advanced vSLAM optical navigation that maps up to 30,000 data points per second, and full customization via the Mi Home app, including no-go zones and scheduling. However, notable cons include its reliance on optical tracking which makes it struggle to navigate or map accurately in dark spaces, an operation volume that can be quite loud on maximum settings, and the lack of included spare parts.
