On my blog I often talk to you about how to keep your PC in order, how to clean the smartphone memory and how important it is, in general, to take care of your technological devices. Cleanliness and order, however, are things I care a lot about even in “real life”: I like to take care of my home and have a house that is always clean and tidy, and if I can get help from technology in this too, I’m happy. This explains the reason why I enthusiastically accepted the proposal from Dreame , a partner company of Xiaomi that makes household appliances dedicated to cleaning the house (I have already told you about his robot vacuum cleaner Bot L10 Pro , remember?), To try his H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner .
Dreamer H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner is an innovative product, extremely complete, which combines the potential of a wireless electric broom to those of a scrubber and a sucking liquids , “condendo” all with a wide range of smart functions. We are talking about a real concentrate of technology that allows you to clean the house without any effort and, above all, in an incredibly fast and effective way. It has sensors that automatically detect the type of dirt to be removed and adjust the cleaning settings accordingly; two large separate tanks for clean and dirty water; an integrated displaywhich shows in real time all the information on cleaning and the status of the device; a guide voice – also in Italian – that informs the user about the cleaning status and about any operations to be carried out; an automatic cleaning system that allows you to clean the H11 Max with the push of a button (after placing it on the charging base), and the list goes on and on.
But now I don’t want to anticipate you too much. Read on and let me calmly tell you all my impressions of Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner , explaining all the main features and functions of the product. I am convinced that if you are also looking for a “technological helper” to take care of your home, you will find this solution very, very interesting.

Package contents and first use
Let’s start from the beginning, so from what I found myself in front of when I opened the package of Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner , which, I must say, during transport surprised me for its rather “important” weight. On the weight factor , however, I will return shortly: in reality it is one of the first characteristics that positively struck me about this product.
Once I opened the package, in it I found: the main body of the Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner , made of high quality plastic and with a premium look , with relative tanks for clean and dirty water. About the latter, it is good to say that while the dirty water tank is 0.5 liters (therefore a standard capacity), the clean water tank is 0.9 liters , which allows you to have greater autonomy in cleaning before having to recharge it.
In the package there are then the upper rod , a brush for cleaning the inside of the product (which also contains a sort of small knife to remove hair and hair from the roller), the charger for the power supply , a spare HEPA filter , a spare brush , a mild detergent to use for cleaning the house and the charging / cleaning base with an additional container in which to store the accessories mentioned above. A point in favor to highlight is that all components are easily removable and washable .
The assembly procedure is extremely simple: just connect the main body of Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner to the rod, connect the charging / cleaning base to the power supply and you are practically ready to go into action.
Obviously, before using the product it is good to charge it using the supplied base (which also allows you to clean it after use), where Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner remains firmly anchored upright. The built-in battery is 4,000 mAh and ensures up to 36 minutes of autonomy (enough to clean a house of 150/200 m 2 , also considering the suction power of 10,000 PA and the power of 200 WA ) with a charge from 0 -100% which takes place in about 4 hours .
To check the charge status, just take a look at the circular display of Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner (non-touch), positioned immediately above the clean water tank: the latter shows the percentage of residual charge , the information on the type of dirt detected by the sensors included in the product and any errors to which attention must be paid. The circular LED present as the frame of the screen, on the other hand, is colored according to the type of cleaning that is being carried out: green if there is little dirt to be removed, yellow if the level of dirt is medium, red if the level of dirt is high.
The information in question, as mentioned, is also communicated verbally by the intelligent assistant included in Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner, which also speaks in Italian and allows you to set its volume on two different levels.
Once the device is charged, the 0.9 liter clean water tank can be filled with plain water, possibly adding a few drops of the supplied detergent . It is important not to use other detergents, and more generally aggressive and / or foamy detergents, as they could damage the product.
To turn the device on, just use the special button on the front of the handle, where there is also the button to change the program . The aluminum handle ensures excellent grip , but what is most surprising is that, despite the weight of over 4 kg , Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner is extremely manageable . Indeed, the very “important” weight facilitates a comfortable adherence of the brush to the floor and allows the latter to slide smoothly to ensure thorough cleaning of the treated surfaces.
But now let me tell you more about my experience in these days of testing.
Suction, washing and cleaning of the product
I had the opportunity to try Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner for several days and I can say that almost every time I use it, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of the automatic cleaning mode offered by the product.
As previously mentioned, Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner has sensors that automatically analyze the surface to be treated (it is suitable for wooden floors, ceramic tiles and even short-pile carpets) and adjust the suction level accordingly. to use (the power used is then indicated on the integrated screen). This allows for always effective cleaning and intelligent consumption of the battery, which thus lasts longer.
In my experience, on ceramic tiles, the product has done an excellent job allowing me to clean with a single pass – first by vacuuming the dirt and then by washing – the floors of the house. It should be emphasized that I also have a long-haired cat at home and that Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner did not miss even a hair or a grain of sand (those who have pets at home know that a few grains of sand can remain attached to the paws of cats and therefore can end up here and there on the floor!).
Another thing that pleasantly struck me is that the water poured onto the floor, to wash it, is perfectly dosed , allowing it to dry very quickly and without leaving marks or marks of any kind. The roller, then, always remains clean even after several days of use: the spare one, supplied, can also be kept for a long time before having to be used.
On average the noise when the most powerful suction modes are used, excellent work of the HEPA filter that does not allow the formation of unpleasant odors in the air that comes out of the product during use.
I had some minor difficulties when I tried to clean under some particularly low furniture , but there almost all the electric brooms I tried had difficulties. The same goes for a carpet a little higher than the average I have at home: not being able to use a dedicated accessory in exchange for the “standard” mounted roller, Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner acts slightly less precisely when there are high-pile carpets, but even here it is a “limit” that I feel I can overshadow.
On the other hand, the liquid suction mode has been super promoted : by activating the latter, Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner accurately sucks up any type of liquid that may have fallen on the floor ; a real lifeline for when, for example, you are sleepy and in the morning you drop milk or coffee on the floor, or when the jet of water from the sink in the kitchen hits some plate in the sink and splashes a nice amount of water on the floor … not to mention when there are small children in the house and some “disaster” in terms of liquids spilled on the floor is always around the corner!
Returning to the weight factor, even if not very light, Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner allowed me to easily clean all the rooms of my home without getting tired in any way. Precisely to test this aspect I have often used it for longer than necessary (the cleaning effectiveness is very high from the first pass) and I have never tired my arms.
Another little “magic” is related to the automatic cleaning system , which allows you to clean the roller and the inside of Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner in a super simple way: at the end of each cleaning session – or when on the screen the warning about the need to clean the product appears – just place the device on the cleaning / refill base , empty the dirty water container (by the way, the fact that it is full of water makes it very easy to empty it and even when there is are animal hair or middle hair, there are no annoying residues in the tank), fill the container with clean water and press the cleaning button on the upper part of the handle.
In a few seconds, the brush will start spinning very quickly (500 revolutions per minute) and will be cleaned with water, as well as everything else, in order to remove all residues, which are thus sucked into the dirty water tank, to be emptied. at the end of the operation.
Final evaluations
Having to sum up at the end of this trial period, I can only promote Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner . It is, in fact, a product that includes a lot of technology but does not complicate the user’s life by overwhelming him with billions of functions – often complicated to use and / or useless – like many other competing products: it turns on, you pass on the surface to be cleaned. And that’s it!
The automatic dirt recognition function is, as mentioned, almost magical and it is always pleasant to see how it manages to vacuum the dirt and wash the floors in a single pass: a really nice time saving when compared to the use of a classic broom. electric combined with an even more classic rag for washing floors (with the accompanying need to rinse and wring it out with each pass!). The suction of liquids is then that “touch of class” that ensures the WOW effect every time you use it. Finally, the automatic cleaning thanks to the supplied base it is truly neophyte-proof: even those who have never owned an electric broom in their life will be able to keep Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner perfectly clean.
So, are we talking about a perfect product? Obviously not. Like any other device in the world, the Dreame H11 Max Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner also has some aspects that can be improved . As mentioned, the weight of the product does not compromise its ease of use, but during the transport phase a few grams less would not have minded me; the fact of not being able to change the roller with specific accessories does not make it perfect for particularly low areas or high carpets; finally it should be considered that despite the excellent autonomy and the large water tanks, if you have a house larger than 55-60 m 2 you may find yourself having to empty and refill the tanks to complete the cleaning.
Having said that, having to put the product’s strengths and weaknesses on the scales, the judgment can only be largely positive, also because we are talking about a product sold at a more than affordable price for the concentration of technology and the many comforts it offers: 459 euros that using the promo code ZQAGM5S8 on Amazon become 389 euros.
