Dreame D20 Pro Plus: review and verdict
13,000 Pa, a removable mop washed by hand, and automatic emptying into a 5 L bag: the Dreame D20 Pro Plus is honestly the most modest model in the Dreame catalogue. At 249 €, it is a robot vacuum with a supplementary mopping function — not a mopping robot.
The verdict in short
The D20 Pro Plus scores 7.4/10, pulled up by its price and by automatic emptying, pulled down by suction of 13,000 Pa (the weakest in the catalogue) and the complete absence of a washing station: the mop is removed and washed by hand. The HyperStream detangling brush limits upkeep on the vacuuming side, but does not make up for the lack of automated mopping. For 150 € more, the D30 Ultra is an entirely different robot.
✓ Pros
- Automatic emptying of the dust bin into a 5 L bag
- HyperStream dual detangling brush, limits hair upkeep
- The lowest entry price in the Dreame catalogue: 249 €
- Enough for everyday dust and crumbs on hard floors
✕ Cons
- 13,000 Pa: the weakest suction in the Dreame catalogue tested here
- No washing station: the removable mop is washed by hand
- Obstacle climbing not disclosed by Dreame
- Navigation by a single 3D laser illumination, more basic than the laser sensor of the other series
Who is it for?
A budget genuinely capped at 250 €, a home with mostly hard floors, and the wish to stop emptying the dust bin by hand. The D20 Pro Plus does that job properly, without claiming more.
Avoid it if…
You are counting on the robot to genuinely mop the floors without touching it: without a washing station, the mop remains a manual chore, as on any entry-level robot from five years ago. If automated mopping matters to you, look straight to the D30 Ultra, only 150 € more.

Our scores by criterion
Our full grid, criterion by criterion, is detailed in our rating system. Here is where the D20 Pro Plus stands.
Mopping is unsurprisingly its weakest criterion: without a dedicated station, there is not much to score beyond a removable mop. Value for money remains its best argument, carried by an entry price with no equivalent elsewhere in the Dreame catalogue.

The table is unambiguous: for 150 € more, the D30 Ultra (399 €) suctions nearly twice as hard (25,000 Pa against 13,000 Pa) and washes and dries its mop automatically at the station — the D20 Pro Plus does neither. Against the L40s Pro Ultra (549 €), the gap widens further: automatic washing and drying as well, for 300 € more.
In practice, outside a budget strictly capped at 250 €, the D20 Pro Plus is a false economy: 150 € is enough to move to an entirely different category of robot with the D30 Ultra.
Maintenance and consumables
The HyperStream dual detangling brush limits the build-up of hair, but still calls for a weekly check. The removable mop is taken off and rinsed by hand after each use — that is the maintenance gesture separating this model from the rest of the Dreame catalogue, where the job is automated at the station. The station's 5 L bag is changed when full, with no fixed frequency disclosed by Dreame; expect a monthly check to avoid saturation.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Dreame D20 Pro Plus have a mop washing station?
No, and that is the point to understand before buying. The mop is removable and washed by hand: there is neither automatic washing nor drying at the station. It is a robot vacuum with a supplementary mopping function, not a mopping robot in the sense of the D30 Ultra or the L and Matrix series.
Does the D20 Pro Plus suction hard enough?
At 13,000 Pa, it is the weakest suction in the Dreame catalogue tested on this site. It remains enough for dust and crumbs on hard floors day to day, but it falls short against thick carpets or large amounts of pet hair.
Should you choose the D20 Pro Plus or the D30 Ultra?
For 150 € more, the D30 Ultra changes category: 25,000 Pa (nearly double) and a swivelling mop washed and dried automatically at the station, against a mop washed by hand on the D20 Pro Plus. The D20 Pro Plus is only genuinely justified if your budget is capped at 250 €.
Does automatic emptying work despite the absence of a washing station?
Yes, these are two independent functions. The station empties the robot’s dust bin into a 5 L bag after each run, which saves doing it by hand — that is this model’s real merit, even without automatic mop washing.
