What we know

Just A Dad Approved ran the slim US version for three months in a 2,000 sq ft home. It rated hair handling and carpet cleaning highly and liked how far the thin body reaches under furniture. It found the laser-free navigation slow and fiddly at first, the mopping good rather than great, and the climbing short of Dreame's figure. That's one home's experience, and it covers only the US version.

Just A Dad Approved, hands-on, 3 months at home (tested on the L60 Ultra (US version, no laser turret))

Navigation works, but slowly

Just A Dad Approved called the US version's laser-free navigation first-generation. The first map had walls in the wrong places, and it took three mapping runs to get a good one. It cleans cautiously, takes longer than laser robots and recharges a little earlier, though it never got stuck and always made it back to the dock. If you want the fastest, most predictable runs in a big home, a laser robot is still the safer choice.

Excellent with long hair

Just A Dad Approved scored its hair tangle test 9 out of 10 and carpet cleaning 8.5, and after three months in a home with pets wasn't cutting hair off the brush. The twin-roller brush feeds long hair through rather than wrapping it. That's the strongest result in the review, and a good sign if brush-cutting is your least favourite chore.

Climbing falls short of the claim

Dreame's US page rates the US version for a 5cm two-step threshold, per the specifications. Just A Dad Approved found it cleared closer to 1.5 inches, about 3.8cm, before struggling, and stresses these are climbing wheels rather than the lifting legs on the Pro Ultra. That still covers most doorway thresholds and rug edges. For sliding-door tracks or stepped transitions, the Pro Ultra is built for the job.

Decent mopping, weaker edges

Just A Dad Approved scored mopping 7.5 out of 10: fine for everyday upkeep, but a big spill took about three passes. Edges were the weak spot, because the depth-sensor map puts walls slightly inside where they really are. Obstacle avoidance scored 7.9, with the odd swerve round nothing at all. The dock's hot-water wash and drying keep the pads fresh, per the specifications.

The one review covers the US version (no laser turret, 8.2cm). Dreame's German page lists a different L60 Ultra with a retractable laser.

Our take

Should you buy the L60 Ultra?

Best for: Homes with low sofas and beds to clean underneath. Skip it if: You want a stronger record in independent tests before buying.

It's worth a look for low furniture and long hair once more tests appear, and only if you're buying the US version. The Roborock Saros 20 and the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete are slim robots with more reviews behind them.

The L60 Ultra sits below the climbing L60 Pro Ultra and above the Ultra PE and FE, with the same dock that empties the bin, washes the pads in very hot water and dries them. Which robot you get depends on where you buy. Dreame's US version has no raised laser sensor and steers by depth sensors and a camera, keeping it about 8.2cm tall. Dreame's German page describes a retractable laser, a taller body and a lower climbing rating under the same name.

Just A Dad Approved ran the slim US version for three months in a family home and found strong vacuuming and hair handling, but slow, cautious cleaning, maps that took a few tries, and climbing short of Dreame's claim. The European version is described only on Dreame's own listing. Check the height and navigation on the product page before ordering so you know which one you're getting.

Before you buy

The questions people ask about this one

Which L60 Ultra am I buying?

It depends on the country. Dreame's US page lists a laser-free robot 82mm tall, while its German page lists a retractable-laser robot 89mm tall with the laser down, both per the specifications. The only long-term test, from Just A Dad Approved, covers the US one. Check the listing's height and navigation before ordering.

Does it fit under low furniture?

That's the point of it. The US version is about 8.2cm tall with nothing on top, per the specifications, and Just A Dad Approved found it gets under furniture Dreame robots couldn't reach before. The European version needs 8.9cm with its laser lowered.

Can it cross rugs and raised thresholds between rooms?

Most doorway thresholds are fine. The US version is rated for a 5cm two-step threshold, per the specifications, but Just A Dad Approved saw it manage closer to 3.8cm. The mop pads lift 10.5mm over rugs and can be left in the dock. For stepped or very tall transitions, look at the Pro Ultra.

Will it avoid cables and pet mess?

Reasonably. Just A Dad Approved scored obstacle avoidance 7.9 out of 10 and said it routed round clutter reliably, with the occasional swerve at nothing. Dreame claims it recognises over 280 object types, per the specifications. That's one review, so keep cables and pet accidents off the floor.

Roborock Saros 20
Roborock · £899

Saros 20

Why consider it: Even lower at 7.98cm with no turret, and two tests found it very strong on hard floors.

The compromise: Carpet pickup and obstacle avoidance were less certain in the lab.

Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete
Dreame

X60 Max Ultra Complete

Why consider it: Dreame's slimmest flagship, excellent at dodging clutter and able to climb tall thresholds.

The compromise: Testers disagree about how well it cleans, and it can need babysitting.
