Cleaning Performance

Wet and Dry Functionality

One of the standout features of the H14 Pro is its dual wet and dry cleaning capabilities. This makes it versatile for various surfaces, like hard floors. The powerful suction can tackle everything from liquids to dust and debris, and it does so without needing to switch attachments. The vacuum combines brushes and suction technology to ensure a thorough clean, even on stubborn stains. The vacuum’s strong 18,000 Pa suction and efficient roller head effortlessly clean floors, including hard-to-reach edges and skirting boards.

One feature I particularly appreciate is its 180° flexibility, which allows for efficient cleaning even under furniture. It’s equipped with a small caster, enabling it to lie flat on the floor and move forward smoothly.

The roller is both washed and dried after each cleaning cycle, but the user needs to press the designated button on top of the handle to start the process. Once activated, the station uses hot air to dry the roller, offering two options:

  • Ultra-fast drying in 5 minutes
  • Silent drying in 1 hour

I find the ultra-fast drying more efficient—it gets the job done quickly! The only downside is that it’s louder than the one-hour silent drying option.

Exceptional Floor Cleaning

Cleaning with the Dreame H14 Pro is a delight. While it doesn’t offer steam cleaning, its performance is impressive and thoroughly effective.

A notable feature is its dual-sided edge cleaning, which makes it easy to reach the edges along baseboards. Although it might not be flawless, and you may occasionally need a small hand brush, achieving completely perfect edge cleaning with any vacuum is rare. However, this model is among the best in its category.

The Dreame H14 Pro automatically detects dirt and adjusts roller speed to optimize cleaning efficiency. The Dreame H14 Pro is well suited to managing short or long pet hair. Here are some key features that make it suitable for pet owners. If needed, the user can also manually increase the cleaning power using a button on the handle.
