Try the Dreame H16 Flexreach hard floor cleaner: gentle, clean, small tank

This is a device used to clean hard floors, not soft floors like carpets. The device can clean the floor whether the stain is dry dust or liquid from a spilled cup of coffee, even a bowl of porridge... What I like about this device is its flexibility and light weight, helping many different people to use it comfortably in many situations, including in multi-storey houses when needing to move up and down. I tried cleaning dry, coarse and large dirt like when cleaning a terrace that hasn't been swept for a long time with dust, leaves and cigarette butts. I also tried cleaning liquid stains from a glass of iced coffee with milk, a glass of milk and a glass of cereal soaked in milk. As a result, the device completes the task of cleaning hard floors easily and quickly.

This is a hard floor mop

Before now, I've noticed that people often call this device a wet-dry mop. This name is not wrong, but it is easy to misunderstand that it can be used to vacuum carpets. In fact, it is only designed for cleaning hard floors; With soft floors, it is not effective and there is no dedicated section for carpets.

Your daily task is to supply clean water and dump dirty water

Machines were born to help us be more hands-free and do less work, which is considered good. Buying a device and having to take extra care of it is annoying. With Dreame H16 FlexReach, you will not need to pay much attention to maintenance. Everyday work is just to add clean water when the machine says it's out of water and empty the dirty water tank when it's full.

What you need to do is pour out dirty water and supply clean water to the machine when it requires.

When you empty the dirty water tank, it's convenient for you to clean the inside. This will depend on usage habits and the level of dirt, whether you need to clean it regularly or when you feel the need. You do not need to wash rags or clean the machine regularly. The machine will automatically wash and dry the rag with 95°C hot air. After cleaning the house and vacuuming hard floors, if you want to wash, you just need to put the machine on the station and press the wash button once to run the normal cycle - which takes quite a while because the machine cleans and dries the rags very well. Pressing then pressing again and holding the button for 3 seconds will activate a quick cleaning cycle of several minutes. The greatness of this machine lies not only in its cleaning ability, but also in the fact that you rarely have to dip your hands in like when using a regular mop. However, not all floor cleaners handle self-cleaning rollers and charging stations well. Dreame H16 FlexReach does a very good job of operating itself, without you having to get involved much.

The machine cleans dirt floors very effectively, including large sized dirt

The first test I want to share with you is the ability to clean floors with large, dry dirt. I brought the machine to the rooftop to try cleaning an area that had been dusty for a long time, with all kinds of dirt from the surrounding environment such as bamboo leaves, cigarette butts... In the picture below, you can see that the machine sucks a lot of things into the dirty water tank. I tried this to show you that with a machine like the Dreame H16 FlexReach, we don't need to clean before cleaning, just start cleaning, the machine will handle everything. Previously, when using a normal mop, I had to do many steps such as sweeping trash and large dust with a broom first and then mopping...

Looking at the pile of trash and dirt Dreame H16 Flexreach has collected to see its working ability is commendable.

Using toilet water is enough.

Vacuum up a glass of milk spilled on the floor

During the test, sucking a glass of milk and spilling it on the floor was the situation that created the best visual effect. Looking at the pictures and videos, it looks very good. In fact, the machine cleans, but there is still a layer of milk film on the floor that you cannot see. So after cleaning for the first time, you should put the machine on the station to let it clean itself, then wipe it again. You can set it to automatic mode or choose water suction mode when you need to suck up a puddle of water or a glass of milk spilled on the floor. I usually leave it in automatic mode and find that the sensor works well and the suction is good so I don't switch to another mode. Only switch to quiet mode when cleaning and vacuuming the floor normally, with less dust so the machine runs quieter.

Everywhere the vacuum cleaner goes, it's like cutting into a piece of paper, it's really impressive.

Four cleaning modes can be selected through the menu and buttons on the machine

I also tried sucking a cup of milk coffee with a large ice cube poured onto the floor to see how the vacuum works. You can see that it sucks up all the milk coffee, but the ice cubes cannot be sucked up because their size is larger than the suction slot and is also quite slippery so they cannot be caught by the cleaning rag. Try sipping a glass of cereal mixed with milk. This will have a porridge-like consistency and the milk-soaked cereal will be quite heavy. However, you can see that with a strong suction force of up to 28,000 Pa and a rolled rag rolled in, the machine still completes the cleaning task easily.

The machine's on/off button on the left and the round button next to it select different cleaning modes.

The operating noise level of the machine is about more than 60 dB

During use, the moment the machine self-cleans creates the largest noise level, about 61 dB. This level is not too high compared to normal, but in a small, closed room it will cause noise. Compared to the general level, this level is still acceptable, and people should place the device far from the living area or bedroom if they want to reduce noise. Many people place cleaning machines in the bathroom. This is acceptable if you want to avoid noise, but do not leave the device near water sources or in humid environments.

Why do we need the Dreame H16 Flexreach?

If we can use a robot vacuum cleaner to clean the house, we should prioritize it because it is the pinnacle of automation. However, when using a robot is not possible, a hard mop like the Dreame H16 FlexReach is the right choice. When wanting cleaner, better control and observing each mop, fastidious people will find that the robot is not as clean as this type of mop. For people selling restaurants or working in the kitchen, the mop is superior thanks to its strong rotating rag, great suction power and the ability to wash the rag with hot water at the station, helping to clean more effectively. When the house has many tables and chairs that obstruct the robot, the Dreame H16 FlexReach mop will help solve the problem. When cleaning on porches or terraces, where robots are difficult to map and often encounter a lot of large dust, this mop has obvious strengths. When the house has many floors, the mop is also more flexible because you only need to carry it upstairs to clean and then bring it down to the charging station.

The machine is light so cleaning is easy and can be used by many people.

And here is a cup of iced milk coffee.

Dreame H16 Flexreach sucks up milk and coffee, but ice can't be sucked up so I helped.

Cereal mixed with milk can also solve the problem.

The roller rag will rotate to pick up and suck dirt into the dirty water tray on the machine.

This handle makes it easier to remove the lid and pour out dirty water. Dreame's commendable UX.

Press this button when placing the machine on the base to let it self-clean

The machine is only 9.85cm high so it can easily get into corners, under tables, chairs, cabinets... to clean

You can leave the device right in the middle of the house or kitchen, no need to put it in the bathroom.

Anti-tangle system

The rag is removed from the machine. Every day, the machine will clean this rag itself and keep it very clean. However, from time to time you should check, replace or clean more if necessary.

The outer box is a clean water tray.

Clean very dusty areas such as terraces that haven't been visited for a long time.

The round ball helps the machine still operate well when lying completely on the floor.
