The vacuum is made up of a cylinder the place we discover the cyclonic separator, the pre-filter and the dustbin. The cleansing equipment are connected to the underside of the cylinder.

You can too take away the pre-filter and cyclone separator for cleansing. Dreame recommends leaving them to air dry for no less than 24 hours afterwards.
On the highest of the cylinder is a deal with with a swap, which separates the non-removable battery (with the charging port and 6 LED lights to point the standing of the battery each when utilizing it and when it’s charging) and the controls: there’s a velocity adjustment swap and a lock button so that you don’t want to carry down the set off when working it.

You should utilize this cordless vacuum with the extendable wand for flooring cleansing, or with out to succeed in tougher locations or vacuum sofas and furnishings comfortably.
The primary brush, which is more likely to be the one you employ most frequently, is the one one with inbuilt lights. That’s nothing new on the earth of cordless vacuums, and whereas it’s not as highly effective because the laser on the newer Dyson fashions, it’s nonetheless efficient at seeing dust in darkish locations.
In contrast to another vacuums, the Dreame R10 can’t get up by itself. I’ve it propped towards a wall at house, though for those who favor (particularly when you have pets or young children), you need to use the wall bracket that comes within the field.
Efficiency
- Straightforward to make use of and straightforward to alter attachments
- Three suction modes
- Small tank, however lengthy sufficient battery life

You’ll be able to select from three completely different modes, however I believe more often than not you’ll go for one of many two extra highly effective ones.
To function the vacuum, you merely press the set off button on the deal with and let it go while you’re finished. Personally, I favor to make use of it this manner, because it minimises noise while you shift positions or transfer from place to position. Nevertheless, you need to use the lock key for vacuuming with out having to carry down the button. This could possibly be helpful on very massive surfaces.
In its instruction guide, Dreame lists the use instances for every accent.
As I mentioned earlier than, the multi-surface brush is the comb head you’ll use most frequently. It’s appropriate for every type of flooring (it’s been nice on my parquet flooring), but additionally for brief pile carpets. However watch out in case your carpet has fringes, as they may get tangled within the brush.
Generally, it might suck up hair and dirt simply, though heavier soiling means you’ll discover have to go over the world greater than as soon as. Tip: in these instances, it really works finest for those who run the vacuum in direction of you.
