Of all of the new robot vacuums from CES 2026, Dreame probably has the most diverse batch. The two newest Dreame models that are available now, the Aqua10 Ultra Roller from August and the X60 Max Ultra that’s open for preorders, offer exciting yet expected upgrades in the cleaning power department. But we were also formally introduced to the Dreame Cyber 10 Ultra: the fully-realized version of Dreame’s robot vacuum with an arm first teased at CES 2025. It’s set to go on sale later this year.

A robot vacuum with an arm has been done before. What we haven’t seen is a robot vacuum with an arm that actually works well. While Dreame was still in the prototype stage last year at CES, Roborock was officially debuting the Saros Z70, which then hit shelves in March. While the claw machine-style arm went viral at first, the Saros Z70 ended up not being worth it. The list of items that could be picked up maxed out at slippers and socks, and even then, neither of those saw a solid success rate when I was testing the Saros Z70 at home. When the Saros Z70 did pick something up, it wasn’t until after driving around aimlessly or blankly staring at the item for several minutes. And let me tell you: The wow factor of the arm wears off quickly when you consider how you could have picked up and put away that item in a fraction of the time that it took the vacuum.
The Dreame Cyber 10 Ultra should handily beat the Roborock Saros Z70
With those shortcomings in mind, the Dreame Cyber 10 Ultra has a crystal clear path to transcending the Roborock Saros Z70. The first promising difference in specs is the Cyber 10 Ultra’s arm’s strength: It can allegedly pick up items as heavy as 500 grams (just over one pound) compared to the Saros Z70’s 300-gram limit. Upon first glance, the Dreame arm already looks sturdier than the Saros Z70’s bony build.
