Dreame X60 Ultra vs Eufy 11S MAX

The Dreame X60 Ultra wins comprehensively. It maps with LiDAR, mops, empties and washes itself, delivers 35,000Pa against 2,000Pa, runs 165 minutes against 100 and connects to Google Home and Alexa. The Eufy 11S MAX is far cheaper and much simpler, with no app at all.

Navigation and connectivity. The Eufy 11S MAX bumps its way around with no Wi-Fi, no app and no saved maps. The Dreame X60 Ultra uses LiDAR to map rooms, supports no-go zones, mops as it vacuums and maintains itself at a dock.

Two: it costs a fraction of the price and it documents cliff detection, which the Dreame X60 Ultra's specs do not list. It is also unusually thin, quiet at 55dB, and carries a large 600ml onboard bin because there is no dock to empty it.

The Dreame X60 Ultra, whose dock empties the robot into a 3.2L bag, washes the mops with hot water, dries them and dispenses detergent. The Eufy 11S MAX needs its bin emptied after most runs and its mopping is nonexistent, since it only vacuums.

Buy the Dreame X60 Ultra if you want flagship cleaning with 35,000Pa suction, LiDAR mapping, no-go zones, hot-water mop washing and drying, self-emptying and a slim 79.5 mm body for low furniture, backed by a 3-year warranty.

Buy the Eufy 11S MAX if you want a cheap, quiet vacuum with no app, no Wi-Fi and nothing to configure, for a small home or apartment. Its slim profile reaches under furniture and its 600ml bin holds plenty for its size, but it does not mop or map.
