"Powerful”, “Practical”, “Ease of use”, “Peace of Mind”, “Sleek and stylish” are just a few of the things that come to mind when summing up the Dreame V11 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, the latest model of cordless vacuum cleaners from Dreame. With a sleek, ergonomic design, the power and myriad features it offers, the Dreame V11 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner makes that task of cleaning the home that much easier. Compared to the V10, the V11 has a much brighter, slicker appearance. It sports a beautiful, metallic grey color on the vacuum itself and the accessories and metallic red in the extension handle and on/off trigger making for a color scheme that’s pleasant to look at. The physical design is compact and economical, so one needn’t worry about it taking up too much space. Specs of Dreame V11 Vacuum Cleaner Weight: 1.3KG Battery: 3000mAh Cleaning time: 90, 30, or 10 min (depending on settings) Motor: Dreame SPACE 4 Power: 450 watts Suction power: 150 AirWatts or 25000 PA 12 cyclone filtration + 5 layer filter Max noise: 73db Dust Bin: 0.5 liters Display in handle 4 attachments + dock The new lightweight design is lighter than the previous V10 model, it boasts an increase in suction power and at 73db it operates at a relatively quiet level even while on the maximum suction setting. The one touch dust bin button makes for easy cleaning as well, and even the buttons have undergone a slight change for a better feel when compared to the previous V10 model. New Features of Dreame V11 3 Modes of Operation The V11 offers three different modes of suction power for you. The “eco” mode is a long, enduring mode that runs for 60-90 minutes and is the lowest setting. This setting is still good enough to pick up strands of hair or noodles. This mode is great for light cleaning around the bedroom. The second mode, or “medium” mode runs for 30 minutes and offers more suction power than the previous setting. This mode is good enough to clean the classic messes on the floor such as crumbled cookies and other debris. The third mode, or “turbo” mode runs at maximum power for 10 minutes. This mode is great for hard to reach places when combined with the other accessories. Dreame SPACE 4.0 High-Speed Motor Boasts 125,000RPMS (25% faster than the previous model). A more powerful motor means better performance when picking up debris on any surface. The motor operates at 25,000 pascal (PA) and 150 airwatt (AW) which means more suction power. Optimized Air Flow System The air vents are put in place so that the Dreame V11 can perform at its highest quality by air flow without overheating. (The air vents are strategically placed and specially designed to dissipate heat). This means it can perform longer and at the standard the Dreame V11 is known for. Bigger, better, battery At 3000mAh, the Dreame V11 can operate for up to 90 minutes in eco mode, 30 minutes in medium mode and 10 minutes in turbo mode. The battery takes 4 hours to charge, meaning that you’ll get a lot done in your cleaning session and be ready for the next one without missing a beat. The battery indicator is located on the side of the vacuum unit, showing how much battery life is left in three levels. OLED 16-bit HD color display The all-in-on, high-definition LED color display screen shows battery life, suction strength setting and has hands-free “lock” mode for continuous use. It’s simple, elegant design makes the V11 easy to use. The lock button is located on the OLED screen display and allows for finger-free, continuous use. Instead of having to press the on button again and again, this mode allows for free-hand use as the vacuum cleaner will keep running while you clean and maneuver around. The display will also let you know if you have a filter that needs to be replaced. Filtration System Yet another upgrade from the previous model, the filtration system can filter out particles as small as 0.3 microns. It has 12 cone cylinders which allow more precise and finer filtration by trapping the fine dirt and dust in the dustbin. This also reduces the risk of clogging the motor, so the V11 won’t lose its suction power. The higher amount of cones reduces the workload of filter and extends the lifespan further. The filter is also easily removed, and can be easily cleaned as well, since it’s reusable it’s green friendly. The filter is symbolic of the entire system, as this vacuum will endure for a long time. The filtration system also allows for clean air output. These new features of Dreame V11 are a step up from the previous model and help make the machine that much better. Accessories Soft Roller Brush This attachment is great on floors. Flexible, maneuvers nicely and is the head that will be of most use to you when cleaning floors. Can handle debris a thick as crumbled cookies and peanuts with ease. Cleans in fewer strokes than the competition and the previous models. Electric Mite Motorized Head Good for cleaning the sofa, bed sheets or any fabrics. Pet owners will find this attachment useful for getting hair out of their seats in the home or the car. Also good for picking up crumbs and snacks that one might leave behind on a couch or loveseat. When combined with the “lock” setting, it makes for good use in the car. 2 in 1 flat brush Good for use on furniture, blinds, and lampshades and on the dash board of your car. Good versatile brush that works on many surfaces. Vertical Brush The brush has an adjustable height depending on the job and can slide up or down the narrow nozzle; the brush also has soft bristles. This attachment is good for cleaning your desk and objects such as your laptop. Flexible Hose This attachment allows for more ease of use in hard-to-reach areas around the home. Combined with the lock mode, this allows the V11 to easily reach places such as the various places inside a car, and behind fixtures in the home. Extension Rod Beautiful metallic red color that allows this lightweight machine to access hard-to-reach places high up in your home (such as a ceiling fan or air vent). Power Adapter Standard, easy to use. Wall Mount The included wall-mount dock for charging and storage isn’t just practical, it’s also stylish and stores the machine without too much hassle or taking up too much space and its metallic silver color fits just about any décor as well.

Most people are confident that they know how to use a vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, there are unspoken rules one needs to abide by. Using a vacuum cleaner correctly is vital to prevent accidents and ensure proper cleaning. As an electrical gadget, a vacuum has special handling that needs you to be aware of. Check out below for some important vacuum cleaner tips to make cleaning easy and safe. Do Not Vacuum a Wet Surface Unfortunately, vacuum cleaners are limited to only dry surfaces. This means they cannot clean water spills or wet surfaces as part of vacuum cleaner safety precautions. Water can be sucked into the vacuum cleaner and cause an electrocution accident. It can also damage the vacuum cleaner parts. Keep Pets and Children Away Your pets and children do not even know the first rule among vacuuming tips. Some older kids know a vacuum function, but they wouldn't know how to vacuum properly if given a chance. Kids and pets are naturally curious. Therefore, when you leave the vacuum cleaner lying around, they will sneak up and begin playing around with it. They may knock the cleaner over and get hurt or even tug the electricity cord. Keep the cleaner away and never leave it unattended since the kids and pets may be injured, possibly from electrocution. If you have kids who can understand and follow instructions, you can share some easy vacuuming cleaning safety tips to help them stay safe. Beware of Loops and Kinks Tripping over a cord is among the most common injury you might face when using a vacuum cleaner. Ensure you loop the wires correctly before storing the cleaner away, especially if you have many people in your house during or after cleaning. Stay away from sharp corners because they may cut into the vacuum cord, leading to unnecessary repair or replacement costs. If possible, also avoid overstretching the vacuum cord to keep it intact. Wear Slippers While You Vacuum Ensure you wear slippers whenever you are vacuuming. This is one of the using vacuum tips intended to protect you from injury, especially if you are cleaning the house in a hurry. There is an unfortunate chance that your toe might get stuck in the vacuum cleaner’s nozzle, mostly when the carpet is lifted. To avoid such, take your time to clean the house without hurrying. If hurrying is necessary, ensure you lift the carpet and wear slippers on your feet. While protecting your feet, you should also wear protective gear. Even though it sounds tiring and time-wasting, ensure you wear protective clothing when vacuuming. You can put on hand gloves that keep your hands free from dirt, debris, and dust. This is vital, especially if you are vacuuming an industrial area. As part of vacuum cleaner safety precautions, other protective gears include a face mask, which is beneficial, especially if you are asthmatic or allergic. A face mask helps you avoid close contact with the dust allergens in the air while vacuuming. Goggles will keep away dust or dirt particles and other contaminants from entering your eye. Fortunately, if you cannot bear the noisy vacuuming, ear protectors are convenient to keep the excess noise away. Don't Try to Pick up Large or Sharp Objects This is one of the key vacuum cleaning safety tips intended to protect the machine's integrity and keep it functioning. Going contrary to this advice has led many people to witness some serious mechanical accidents. Avoid picking up large objects forcibly, mostly metal, since they may damage your cleaner's motor's fan. Picking up metal objects will damage your machine, leading to more repair costs or even injury. Picking up sharp objects using a vacuum cleaner will tear the vacuum cord or cause damage to the internal components, leading to more repair costs. Ensure you read the cleaner's manual on how to vacuum properly. Most of these manuals highlight the objects that the vacuum cleaner can pick up. In most cases, it's usually small particles or things you can't pick up yourself. Avoid Flammable Materials A vacuum cleaner is an electric appliance that consumes electricity. As with any electric device, experts recommend keeping your vacuum cleaner far away from flammable or combustible materials while using the machine. Do not vacuum particles or materials that may cause a fire when they contact with electricity. Most vacuum cleaners emphasize this on their vacuum cleaner safety precautions to warn you from potentially hurting yourself and minimize their liability. Before vacuuming your house, check your surrounding for any combustible material that will likely cause a fire. Empty the Canister and Replace the Dust Bag Regularly Some vacuums come with a canister or a bag to collect the accumulated dirt. Vacuum cleaner experts advise that you should not wait until the canister is full to empty it. You should empty it when it is nearing capacity. The dust bag should be replaced as well before it reaches its optimum size. A fully loaded dust bag or canister will affect the vacuum cleaner's cleaning efficiency. Unfortunately, it might also blowback the dusty air into your surroundings. At worse, it could potentially clog the hose. Always keep an eye out for the dust bag or canister before cleaning. Use Only Compatible Extension Cords Vacuum cleaner experts advise against using extension cords that are faulty or do not match with your vacuum. This can lead to mechanical or electrical accidents, and worst of all, an injury to your person. The effect could be a potential fire outbreak. It can also lead to severe vacuum cleaner damage that will incur repair or replacement costs. As a rule of thumb, ensure you use suitable accessories that are strictly compatible with the vacuum cleaner. Conclusion At this point, if you still don't know how to use a vacuum cleaner, make good use of the manual guide for more vacuum cleaner tips. Your safety and that of the vacuum cleaner are paramount. The safety of people around you is also important, but ensure that fewer people are around you while vacuuming. A quality vacuum like Dreame T20 will give you all the functionality you desire in a vacuum while ensuring excellent and effective cleaning.

How do robot vacuums move across the floor vacuuming, cleaning, and sweeping? When they were first launched, robot vacuums used basic technology and would move haphazardly when cleaning. They were able to clean large areas but were inefficient as they keep cleaning the same places. More developed models use an advanced robot vacuum navigation system, which is enabled by algorithms and sensors. The technology allows the vacuum to move in straight lines, covering all areas. The vacuum robot needs to map your home first to be able to clean effectively. It will then store this information and use it when vacuuming in the future. What is Robot Vacuum Mapping? Robot vacuum mapping is a process by which robot vacuums map your house during the initial cleaning. Mapping helps the robot understand how the house looks like, making it easier to clean all areas, and the majority of high-end models are capable of cleaning hard surfaces and carpets alike. Even in textures that seem similar, mapping helps it avoid the sections that it has already cleaned. This map can be saved in a smartphone app using the map saving option, which is especially helpful for larger homes. You can also use the app to pick areas that you want the robot to clean if you prefer zone cleaning. After buying the robot vacuum, stay home when it's cleaning for the first time and monitor the process. Since it's doesn't understand your house, it needs to learn the routes. Whenever a robot vacuum follows the route, they eventually will have to dock to recharge, but how do robot vacuums find their base? After cleaning or when the robot has run out of charge, infrared signals show where the base is. The robot vacuum navigates to the base. After recharging, it continues to clean the home. Though the process may seem straightforward, there are many different methods that a device can use to map out the home. The Main Types of Mapping Technology Vacuums use different technologies to map a house, which may include the 4 following main mapping technologies discussed in this section. Camera-based mapping This technology uses a digital camera that maps by taking photos of landmarks around the house. While this technology maps well, it does not work in the dark. But some manufacturers are beginning to add a source of light on some of the devices. Lidar-based mapping Lidar is an invisible spinning laser that detects information. It collects data on the room's size and obstacles, such as legs at the laser level, but it starts by mapping the house, cleaning it systematically in straight lines instead of randomly. Lidar technology is the most precise at mapping and has accurate navigation compared to the others. Gyroscope or accelerometer mapping Gyroscope and accelerometer sensors calculate the distance and direction of objects around the house. The vacuums that use this technology are affordable. But it does not create a precise map and does not navigate as well as vacuum robots that use lidar and camera-based technologies. Combined technologies Some vacuum robots combine two or three mapping technologies. These technologies are used together with sensors and the robot vacuum cleaner algorithm to help the device navigate efficiently. Sensors Help with Robot Vacuum Navigation Robot vacuums use mapping to form route cleaning, and while they are moving, they use sensors to detect road conditions. Let’s take a look at cliff sensors, obstacle sensors, and other forms of tech that help these devices work. Cliff sensors All vacuum robots have cliff sensors as a safety requirement. Cliff sensors use infrared light, which is reflected from objects. The objects then send a signal back to the receiver in the vac. If the vac does not receive any signal, the receiver detects no object and changes the path. This will prevent your vacuum from falling off the staircase. Obstacle sensors When cleaning your home, a vacuum will inevitably come across obstructions from furniture and other things that lie on the floor. Obstacle sensors, which are typically placed on a vacuum's bumpers, will guide it through the obstacles. When the vacuum comes into contact with an object, the sensor will go off, forcing the vacuum to steer away from it. Wall sensors These sensors use infrared light to detect walls and then clean along the boundaries. The robot will do so effectively and without bumping the walls. Wheel sensors Light sensors count the wheel rotation to determine the distance it has covered. Although it was common to use these sensors when robot vacuums were new, only low-end models use them. How Does Dreame Robot Vacuum Navigate Your Home? The Dreame F9 combines the camera and gyroscope mapping technology to move around your home when cleaning. The device can quickly learn the surroundings that it needs to know for cleaning purposes. This vacuum can capture up to 30,000 data points in the blind of an eye, creating an internal memory of the home so that it misses nothing during cleanup. With automatic room recognition, the Dreame robot vacuum moves effortlessly from one room to the next to clean, knowing exactly where it is at all times. Even after this robot vacuum maps out its path, it continues to calculate any changes in the path at a rate of 50 times in each second. This constant update of barriers gives it greater navigation skills to prevent damage and sense any fine particles that it needs to clean up. Dreame F9 has 14 infrared sensors, the device uses 8 of those sensors to check for obstacles in its path to avoid collision. The other sensors are used to map out the direction that the vacuum goes as it transitions from hard floors to carpet or as it nears the steps. Still, that doesn’t mean that the Dreame F9 is ill-prepared for obstacles since it is programmed to cross anything up to 20 mm. The upgrades in learning and exploration which is called pioneer 2.0 Visual Navigation System allow users to link up the Dreame app with their vacuum, giving the user the power to program wall barriers with ease. And the cleaning route can be further customized by using the app interface to choose which parts of the home are off-limits. Though the app also gives the user control over where they want it to clean. This app is available in both the Google Play store and the App Store (for Apple), so anyone should have the access to download it. With all of this advanced technology, the Dreame robot vacuum can continue to clean the home for up to 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) before it needs to dock and charge. If it runs out of power, it will automatically go to the base station and recharge. The base acts as both a resting and charging station, but there’s no need to go plug it in or order it to go charge. Instead, the smart technology will signal to the vacuum to go charge to eliminate the risk of losing power while cleaning.
