Making Your Decision
When to Choose Dreame L40 Ultra
Value-seekers who want flagship features without flagship pricing
Dreame L40 Ultra offers 90% of what the Roborock S9 does at 70% of the price. The MopExtend technology is genuinely useful for furniture edges.

- Extendable side brush for corners
- 5,200mAh battery (194 min runtime)
Limitations
- Mop pad quality could be better

Shark Matrix Plus delivers solid cleaning performance with self-emptying convenience at a lower price point than premium competitors, though it lacks some advanced navigation features.
Strengths
- Matrix Clean technology for methodical cleaning
- Self-emptying base with bagless design
- Precision Home Mapping with no-go zones
- Good value compared to premium competitors
Limitations
- Navigation less advanced than Roborock/iRobot
