Dreame R20: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Anti-tangle for pet hair: Loosens matted hair instead of winding it up, ideal with a dog or cat
- Up to 90 min runtime: The longest in the comparison, a whole flat in one go
- Very light (1.67 kg): Easy to guide overhead for ceilings & shelves too
- Strong 190 AW: Reserves for carpet and ground-in dirt too
- Complete pet hair set: Mini motorised brush for upholstery and the car included
Points of criticism
- Turbo only about 10 min: Full power drains the battery quickly, designed for Eco
- Display takes getting used to: The touch controls need a short familiarisation period
- about 80 dB: Not quiet, anyone who wants peace should look at the Roidmi RS60

Build quality & everyday use
What carries the Dreame R20 in everyday use: anti-tangle for pet hair (loosens matted hair instead of winding it up, ideal with a dog or cat) and up to 90 min runtime (the longest in the comparison, a whole flat in one go). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: turbo only about 10 min, as full power drains the battery quickly and it is designed for Eco.
If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.
