Dreame Z30 Review: Maximum Suction or Nothing

Spread the love

© Dreame < p>The Dreame Z30is shaping up to be a serious contender in the high-end cordless vacuum cleaner market. But behind its enticing promises and attractive design lies a less than stellar reality. Our test reveals a device that shines at full power, but disappoints in other essential aspects.

Dreame is trying to shake up the giants of the sector with its Z30. With a sale price of 600 euros (422 for a limited time on Amazon), this cordless vacuum cleaner is positioned in the premium segment.

The Z30 impresses right out of the box. Its modern and refined look, all in matte plastic, exudes quality. The handling is pleasant, the well-balanced vacuum cleaner. The screen at the top of the handle clearly displays the essential information: power mode, remaining autonomy, rotation speed and other more or less useful information.

The 600 ml dust container is generous for a cordless model. Its simple and hygienic emptying system makes maintenance easier. Dreame has clearly taken care of these practical aspects.

In terms of accessories, the Z30 is strong: seven attachments are supplied as standard, including two main suction heads. Enough to tackle all types of surfaces. The storage base provided is a nice plus. However, it does not serve as a charging station. You must therefore manually plug in the vacuum cleaner after each use. A constraint that we would have liked to avoid at this price, and which poses a major problem.

There is a 90% chance that your socket will be at ground level. However, when the vacuum cleaner is on its base, the charging point is at the highest point. This means that you will always have to bend down to retrieve the charging cable each time you use it. Knowing that the vacuum cleaner is supposed to make it easier for us to clean up small everyday accidents, this charging system is totally lacking in practicality. It has thus regularly happened to me that the battery has run out because I forgot to put the vacuum cleaner on charge.

Having recently acquired a four-legged friend, I was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to try the special pet hair brush, which on paper is an excellent idea. The brush collects hair and undercoat and a button allows to make the spikes disappear, which ends up sucking up the said hairs. However, the connecting pipe between the vacuum cleaner and the brush is much too short. Its use is It therefore turns out to be totally unsuitable, which is a shame.

Let's talk about performance, the crux of the matter for a vacuum cleaner. The Dreame Z30 has three suction modes: Eco, Auto and Max. Let's just say it right away, only the Max mode is really worth it .

In Eco mode, the suction is anecdotal. Even fine dust sometimes resists it. The Auto mode, which is supposed to adapt to the surface, struggles to convince.It often lacks the punch for effective cleaning.

It is in Max mode that the Z30 finally shows what it is capable of. The suction power becomes impressive, leaving no chance for dirt. But this efficiency comes at a price.

The noise level climbs to 68 decibels on average, a racket that is difficult to bear, but which will not last. Indeed, in this mode the autonomy melts like snow in the sun: count 15 minutes maximum in continuous operation. This is too little to clean an entire home.

The Z30's filtration system deserves praise. The HEPA filter, combined with other filter elements, should effectively capture microscopic particles, a plus for allergy sufferers.

< p>The overall maintenance is simple. The disassembly of the various elements is intuitive, cleaning is quick. A good point for the longevity of the device.

Dreame has included some interesting features in the Z30. The “CelesTect” LEDs on the main suction heads illuminate the area in front of the device, showing debris that is invisible to the naked eye. This is handy for spotting dirt in dark corners or under furniture.

The interchangeable battery system is commendable, allowing for extended cleaning sessions. But given the reliance on Max mode, you’ll still have to remember to recharge the batteries here.

At a usual price of 599 euros, the Dreame Z30 is clearly positioned at the top of the range. Unfortunately, its overall performance does not fully justify this price. Of course, the manufacturing quality is there. The design pleases, the vacuum cleaner exudes solidity. But the shortcomings in terms of autonomy and efficiency in the lower modes are a stain.

For this price, we are entitled to expect a versatile device, capable of cleaning effectively without constantly being at the highest in the revs. The Z30 disappoints on this crucial point.

The Dreame Z30 is not a bad vacuum cleaner. In Max mode, it does what you request of him. His filtration system is efficient and his maintenance simple. But his defects are too important to make him a reference.

Limited battery life under heavy use, disappointing performance in Eco and Auto modes, and some questionable design choices (uncharged base, impractical pet brush) all add to the disappointment.

Dreame shows that it has the potential to shake up the market. But the Z30 looks more like a trial run than a real challenger. The brand will need to correct these flaws in its next models to really assert itself against the industry leaders.

As it stands, it's hard to recommend the Z30, especially at this price. Demanding users may be frustrated by its limitations.
