    Dreame Z30 Ultra: 330 AW and H14 filtration

    The maker quotes up to 330 AW of suction from a 150,000 rpm motor.

    Check price on AmazonAffiliate link

Dreame has become a serious alternative to Dyson and Shark in the UK, mostly by offering high suction claims, long runtimes and features such as lit brush heads and dust detection at lower prices. The catch is that Dreame quotes suction in different units across models, sometimes air watts (AW) and sometimes pascals (Pa), so the numbers cannot be compared directly from one listing to the next. This guide lines up five Dreame cordless machines on suction claim, maker runtime, listed weight, bin capacity and the main extra each one adds: the Z30 Ultra and Z20 sticks, the lighter T20, the Z20 Station with automatic emptying and the H15 Pro CarpetFlex wet and dry cleaner. All facts come from the listings. Where a listing is thin or unclear, we mark the value Not stated.
