Updated November 2026
Data from the official Dreame and Shark sites.
2026 verdict
25000Pa suction against an unlisted figure, 3 years of warranty versus 1 year does not flatter the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE; the Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 is the robot vacuum that wins.

Those wins sit alongside 231 minutes of battery life, a 3-year warranty, and wider smart-home integrations. Both machines mop, so the gap is elsewhere on the spec sheet. Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE is the fallback only if those extras are not on the shopping list. If 231 minutes of battery life is on the list, the Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 is the robot vacuum to buy; otherwise the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE is the honest alternative.
