Dreame Air Station vacuum cleaner in hand: Compact design like a toy, hands-free trash collection station
In recent years, cordless handheld vacuum cleaners have become a familiar cleaning device in modern families. However, a problem that I and many people often encounter when using traditional vacuum cleaner models is that they are quite bulky in size, hand-fatiguing when held for a long time, and each time you empty the dust, it is easy for fine dust to fly back into the air.
Recently, I had the opportunity to experience the Dreame Air Station handheld vacuum cleaner. This is a machine with an ultra-compact pen-shaped design combined with an automatic dust collection station. After a few days of trial to clean my apartment, I want to share some real feelings about this machine for your reference.
Compact pen-style design and realistic holding experience
The first thing that caught my attention as soon as I opened the box of Dreame Air Station is that the body of the device is very elegantly shaped, different from the muscular appearance of many other handheld vacuum cleaner models on the market. The manufacturer calls this pen style design. The entire engine, battery and dust box are collected and placed neatly on a vertical shaft. The handle of the machine is about 35x44 mm in size. When I hold it, it feels comfortable and natural like holding a small cleaning stick.
In terms of weight, the handheld body only weighs about 1.1 kg, and when fully attached the connecting pipe and floor suction head, the total weight is about 2.0 kg. This number really makes a noticeable difference in daily use. I can easily lift the device with one hand to lift it high to vacuum on curtains, cabinet tops or air conditioner edges without feeling tired wrists or forearm muscles. For tight spaces or many nooks and crannies such as under the foot of the dining table, this slim design helps you gently maneuver the machine through narrow gaps.
The automatic dust dumping station frees up hands and reduces fine dust
The experience that makes me most satisfied on Dreame Air Station is the accompanying automatic trash collection station, also known as Slim Auto-Empty Hub. Previously, when using regular vacuum cleaners, every time I finished cleaning I had to open the lid of the dust box to empty it into the trash. This action can easily cause fine dust particles to scatter around, dirtying hands and affecting breathing if anyone is allergic.
With this station, every time I finish cleaning the house, I just need to put the vacuum cleaner back into the charging dock. Immediately, the station will automatically activate suction to withdraw all trash and dirt from the machine's 0.16L dust box into the 1.5L trash bag located inside the station. According to calculations from the manufacturer, this 1.5L trash bag can contain dust for about 50 days of use before needing to be replaced. The dust container on the machine body also has a dust compression mechanism that compresses the trash to optimize storage space before discharging to the station.
Flexible rotating nozzle, two-way dust light and anti-tangle technology
When moving the machine on the floor, the Dreame Air Station's main suction head provides very smooth navigation thanks to the dual roller assembly that can flexibly rotate 360 degrees. This structure allows the machine body to lie flat 180 degrees close to the floor. With a flat height of only about 105mm, I can put the machine deep under the bed, under the sofa or under a low cabinet to clean without having to bend over or carry furniture.
For homes with women with long hair or dogs and cats, tangled hair tangled tightly in the floor suction roller is always a big inconvenience. Dreame has solved this problem with TangleCut technology with built-in automatic cutting blades. During the machine's operation, these cutting blades will actively cut into small pieces of hair or fur wrapped in the roller, then the suction force will sweep them straight into the dust box. Thanks to that, I no longer have to sit and use scissors to remove each tuft of hair stuck around the roller after each vacuuming session like before.
Diverse accessory set and wet mopping capabilities
In addition to the main floor nozzle, the manufacturer also packages specialized suction nozzles to clean different locations in the house.
The two-in-one combination nozzle is suitable for cleaning keyboard slots, window ledges or narrow wall corners. The spacious mattress nozzle helps clean pet hair and dirt from the surface of fabric sofas or mattresses.
In particular, the machine also supports an optional accessory, the Aquacycle 2.0 wet mop head. This mop head assembly integrates a 400ml clean water tank and a 320ml dirty water tank with a mechanism to separate solid waste and liquid waste. The 8-hole water spray system helps soften hard, dry stains on the floor, combined with a rubbing roller and suction to both clean and collect dirty water into the tank. After finishing wiping, when placed back on the base, the support station automatically washes the roller and dries it with hot air at 70 degrees Celsius to avoid mold and odors.
Get a hands-on experience with suction power and battery life
Despite possessing a compact, pen-shaped body, Dreame Air Station still possesses quite impressive operating parameters. High-speed 140,000 rpm motor provides suction power reaching 100AW. In daily cleaning practice, this suction power is more than enough to clean common types of dirt on wooden floors, tile floors, food crumbs or pet hair scattered on carpets.
I also tested it in many different environments such as carpets and hard floors, and it almost completed the task I assigned it well. If you watch this test, you will see more clearly the effectiveness it brings, and within the scope of this article, let me show you a few pictures.
Regarding the battery, the device is equipped with a 6-cell battery with a capacity of 2000mAh, giving a maximum continuous operating time of about 40 minutes in standard mode. This amount of time is enough for me to comfortably clean the entire apartment space of about 70-80 square meters in one charge. When the battery runs out, it takes about 4 hours to fully charge at the station.
Another factor that makes me feel secure when cleaning is the 3-layer dust filter system inside the machine body, including a metal filter, cyclone filter and HEPA filter. This filter achieves a filtering efficiency of up to 99.99% of dust particles as small as 0.3 micrometers. Thanks to that, the air blowing from the machine is always clean, without causing a pungent smell of dust in the air in the room.
In short…
Overall, Dreame Air Station is a handheld vacuum cleaner that provides a gentle and convenient usage experience. The combination of an elegant pen-shaped design and a hands-free automatic dust collection station helps to completely solve two inherent weaknesses of traditional vacuum cleaners: the heaviness of operation and the inconvenience of littering. If you are looking for a compact, aesthetic cleaning device for your apartment, and at the same time want to save time cleaning the machine every day, Dreame Air Station is a name worth considering.
