- Dreame premiered its Laundry Care L10 center at Dreame Next
- Combines four washer-dryers with a closet and a robot vacuum cleaner
- There is no price or release date yet.
Dreame is no stranger to robot vacuum innovation, being one of the first brands to showcase step-climbing cleaners, but this latest model might be the strangest yet: a robot vacuum combines with a closet and four washer-dryers. All in one machine.
The Laundry Care L10 Center, which debuted at its Dreame Next exhibit in San Francisco, is one of the strangest appliances I’ve ever seen, and that includes the Dreame refrigerator equipped with a robotic arm that was also on display here at the event.
The four washer-dryers are designed to help you finally separate your cleaning loads, because if you’re like me, everything goes in at the same time in the same setting. The larger 10kg drum handles most of the laundry, a 3kg drum handles shoes, and the pair of 2.5kg ports are designed for underwear and baby clothes respectively.

The idea is that each drum can maximize its effectiveness in cleaning your clothes and at the same time help you better organize your laundry.
Beyond the typical water and detergent, this machine also uses ultrasonic vibrations to remove dirt and ‘AI Lingus’ to ensure your clothes are properly cleaned and dried (rather than still wet in places) and don’t get tangled.
Meanwhile, the garment closet section is designed to refresh and soften your shirts and dresses between wash cycles.
one more thing
Of course, the final piece of this all-in-one cleaning machine is the robot vacuum and mop, which hides in a compartment at the bottom of the stack of washing machines, recharges its battery, empties its waste, and refreshes its water supply as if it were on a separate dock.
The entire package sounds like the ultimate cleaning machine; The only thing missing is that the automatic vacuum cleaner doesn’t appear to be the Z1 laundry robot that goes around your house and picks up dirty clothes for you, although I hope it’s only a matter of time before that changes.
The other hurdle in the announcement is the lack of price and release date for the all-in-one cleaning cabinet. My impression, however, is that it won’t be cheap when it launches.
I also wonder if this is a less is more scenario. While the 6-in-1 package sounds great, I fear its complex nature could make it a nightmare to maintain or fix if things go wrong.
What’s more, what use is a dedicated baby clothes cleaning drum? Children grow up and not everyone has them to begin with. Maybe one or two drums makes sense, but four seems excessive.
As with some smart home technologies, this seems like a flashy concept, but it’s probably not something every home should have. Although maybe that’s intentional: advertise a flashy washer dryer to get people interested and then sell them the more mundane but solid standard cleaner and a separate automatic vacuum cleaner.
We’ll have to wait and see if Dreame’s technology can prove me wrong; Maybe this 6-in-1 Automatic Vacuum Closet Washer-Dryer is the home cleaning gadget we didn’t know we needed.
