While many big players in the Indian market provide exceptional cleaning abilities from makers such as Philips and Dyson, there is a new entrant here called Dreame, which launched its set of Vacuum cleaners in India in Jan 2024. We got our hands on one of the devices to check it out. This is the Dreame U10 (cordless) Vacuum Cleaner Review, with which we have been tinkering around for over 10 days. Let’s see if it is worth the price.

Dreame U10 Vacuum Cleaner Review: Design
First up, this cordless Vacuum Cleaner is packed well within a small-ish cardboard case. That is also because it does not come with a lot of attachments like the mightier Dyson or Philips. However, it does come with a few attachments that are great for day-to-day use and cleaning out the home.
Out of the box, the Dreame U10 Vacuum Cleaner also looks like the rest of the pack. In fact, it seems a bit inspired by the Dyson series. However, it does have its distinct features. It is a trigger-style Vacuum Cleaner that when pressed sucks the dust at quite a rapid pace. The main enclosure consists of the rechargeable battery, the suction motor and also the transparent enclosure to trap all the dust and gunk.
In the box, you also get two attachments and one long neck to connect the primary brush roller addon to clean hard as well carpeted floors. This also has an LED light in front of it for the user to easily see the debris and dust in front. The other one is a smaller stick-tip head which can be used for cleaning the keyboard, nooks and corners of the sofa, and also windows and blinds. With it, there is also a wall attachment on which you can hang the cleaner for easy storage.

Dreame U10 Vacuum Cleaner Review: Performance
Now here is the fun part. Indian homes get dusty very quickly as there is a lot of construction everywhere and a lot of dust seeps in. We found the Dreame U10 Vacuum Cleaner to be a very good assistant in taking care of the day-to-day sweeping needs. It charges fully in under 1 hour and the 2,500mAh battery lasted us for about 30 minutes. This is based on the fact that a 150-250 square yard area can be cleaned very easily in that much time. For larger areas, you would need to charge it once again.
There is a speed button at the back of the Dreame U10 Vacuum Cleaner, which can run the cleaner at three suction levels – slow, medium and fast. We used it to clean a lot of things and its suction power is great. 99% of the time it was able to pick up things like dust, larger particles and even hair with ease. Things like ribbons and tough threads got stuck in the floor head, but we were able to remove them easily.
The smaller attachment for sofas works better in our opinion and removed dust and slop from our living room sofas in a jiffy. There was dust stuck to it for years and with the Dreame U10 Vacuum Cleaner’s powerful motor, we were able to remove it quite rapidly.

Verdict
It all boils down to the price for this one. Since it is a very new product in the market we were hoping to see a price tag of under Rs 10,000 to compete with the likes of Kent and a few others. However, the company is selling it for a little higher (Rs 11,999) in eComm places like Amazon. Is it worth the price? Since the pros outweigh the cons we will recommend it. However, there is stiff competition out there and for a few thousand more you will get extra attachments and even longer-lasting batteries from makers like Philips and even Xiaomi with its Vacuum robos. All in all, if you are just looking to clean hard floors and a little bit of sofas on a lesser budget, you can definitely pick this one up.
