Dreame L40 Plus Robot Vacuum: Hands-Free Vacuuming and Mopping with Auto-Empty
Share
The Dreame L40 Plus is a robot vacuum and mop that combines vacuuming, mopping, and auto-emptying in one unit. It delivers 13,000Pa Vormax suction across hard floors and carpet, automatically empties its dustbin into a 4-litre bag that holds up to 90 days of debris, and lifts its mop pad when carpet is detected. For households that want a robot vacuum running reliably in the background without daily maintenance, the L40 Plus covers the core requirements at a practical level.
Key Features
The TriCut brush system is designed to minimise hair tangling during cleaning, keeping maintenance intervals longer in homes with pets or people with longer hair. MopExtend RoboSwing technology stretches the mop arm into corners and along skirting boards to reach the edge zones that fixed-arm designs leave uncleaned. Mopping uses ultrasonic carpet detection to automatically lift the mop pad up to 7mm when carpet is detected, preventing moisture transfer between floor types without manual adjustment.
Runtime extends up to 155 minutes in quiet mode, giving the L40 Plus enough range to cover larger homes on a single charge before returning to its base. The 4-litre dust bag stores up to 90 days of debris, which is practical for weekly or twice-weekly cleaning schedules without needing to replace the bag frequently. Navigation uses intelligent path planning for systematic room-by-room coverage.
Customisable mopping moisture levels and cleaning schedules are managed via the Dreame app, and the robot is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Siri for voice control. Schedules can be set to different rooms, mopping intensity, and suction levels independently.
Who Is It Suited To?
The L40 Plus suits homes up to approximately 200 square metres with a mix of hard floors and low to medium pile carpet, where hands-free vacuuming and mopping with minimal maintenance is the main priority. It is a practical choice for users who want reliable daily coverage without managing a robot with a complex self-maintenance station. The 155-minute runtime and 90-day dust bag mean the robot can complete multiple sessions before attention is needed. Those who want hot-water mop washing or very high obstacle clearance will find higher models in the Dreame range better suited to those needs.

Where It Fits in the Range
The L40 Plus occupies the mid-level of the Dreame robot vacuum lineup, offering auto-emptying and mopping capability without the self-washing station of higher-end models.

Models above it in the Dreame range add features such as mop pad washing, hot water mopping, and higher obstacle clearance.

How long does the auto-empty bag last?
The 4-litre dust bag in the L40 Plus base station holds up to 90 days of debris under typical household use, depending on cleaning frequency and floor size.
Does it mop and vacuum at the same time?
Yes. The L40 Plus vacuums and mops simultaneously. The mop pad lifts automatically when carpet is detected to prevent moisture transfer.
What suction modes are available?
The L40 Plus offers multiple suction levels including quiet mode for extended runtime of up to 155 minutes, and higher modes for more intensive cleaning on carpet or heavily soiled hard floors.
Can it be scheduled by room?
Yes. The Dreame app allows individual rooms to be assigned different cleaning schedules, suction levels, and mopping intensities.
