Key features and characteristics Dreame T20

The cyclonic method of separation of dust and other pollutants using 12 separate flows and their five-stage filtration system with a simple way to clean the container makes it very convenient to empty it. The suction power of 150AW can be achieved depending on the mode. With the greatest power we will work in the TURBO mode, but due to the high energy consumption we will work in it to a maximum of 10 minutes, longer but with slightly less power we will work in the AUTO mode to 30 minutes and the manufacturer provides for work up to 70 minutes for the ECO mode, because the suction power is the lowest we will work in it the longest.

From the description we can also learn that it has a built-in intelligent system for detecting the type of surface and adjusting the level of suction, so regardless of the mode selected vacuum cleaner itself in each mode will be able to choose the strength to work on the cleaned surface. Another advantage of this vacuum cleaner is the battery that is not permanently attached to the main nozzle can be easily detached and replaced:

The manufacturers made sure that not only the cyclone and HEPA filters can be removed from the main nozzle, but also that the entire container can be easily detached from the main nozzle:

It all adds up to quite a set

Individual elements of the vacuum cleaner, such as rolls from brushes, filters, container, of course, after disassembly can be washed under running water. After washing, let's remember about their thorough drying for not less than 24 hours and not acting too much heat (preferably initially dry with a cloth and leave at room temperature to dry completely).

Each individual brush, tube and extension can be connected with each other and with the main nozzle in a very simple way, as all elements are connected with a "click", i.e. you slide them in until you hear the lock click.

Tests of Xiaomi Dreame Vacuum Cleaner T20

As with our previous vacuum cleaners, we put this one to the test with different weights.
In order to achieve a reasonably reliable test, we set up the test area in exactly the same place and manner as for the other handheld vacuum cleaners we tested, choosing the most common type of floor: laminate.

Test 1: Spread 50 grams of dried ground coffee on the test field.

The vacuum cleaner collected 48.86 grams from the 50 grams spilled.

Test 2. We apply 20 grams of flour to the test field has a finer texture and perfectly mimics everyday dust.

The vacuum cleaner collected 18.82 grams of flour from the 20 grams spilled.

Cleaning the various components did not cause much of a problem, except for the gasket in the closing lid, but as it is not permanently attached, it could also be pulled out and cleaned freely without damaging the closing lid. It is divided into two parts and dirt that gets there is very hard to remove.

An additional test that we conducted on the vacuum cleaner was to carefully (with stopwatch) check the operating time that the manufacturer provides for each mode. The times for each mode were as follows each time the vacuum cleaner was loaded with an extension tube with a panel brush, which has an additional drive mechanism: They differed in the basic Eco mode significantly from the manufacturer's claims.

ECO mode actual operating time 45 min manufacturer time 70 min
Auto mode actual operating time 29 min, manufacturer time 30 min
Turbo mode actual operating time 10.5 min, manufacturer's time 10 min

The process of charging time itself also does not deviate from the standard that we meet in the description and the test of the amount of energy needed to charge to full battery completely discharged is as follows:

Summary

TheXiaomi Dreame Vacuum Cleaner T20 did a very good job of removing dirt of various weights from the surface of the panels, the time in different modes, although in Eco mode differed from the manufacturer's time, in other modes did not differ significantly and the suction power compensated for this minus, because the removal of dirt took faster than in other models.

What should I pay attention to before using the device for the first time?

The first rule is to read the instruction manual included in the kit and familiarize yourself with it to the extent that the use of the vacuum cleaner does not pose a danger.
The second rule is to charge the battery to 100%.
Third is to use each tip as intended.
And fourthly, we keep away from wet surfaces, spills of hazardous liquids such as flammable and chemical, glass and large items that can block the nozzle or pipe. The vacuum cleaner is switched on with a button on the handle and thanks to a button marked with a padlock, we can lock it in ECO, Auto or TURBO mode. The vacuum cleaner does not have a touch screen but thanks to the LCD display and the buttons placed on it we can easily manage it manually, without having to constantly hold the on button.

Easy cleaning of the container
Easy to install and remove individual tips
Cyclone technology with 5-stage filtration

Comfortable to use
High suction power
Container 0.6L
Modern look

Disadvantages Actually, they are hard to find you can cling about:

Small selection of tips
Heavy
Quite loud despite the 73dB
No touch screen
Short operating time in ECO mode
No instructions in Polish

The vacuum cleaner copes very well with hair, with carpets with long hair, worth recommending to people with pets at home, both furry and those with hair, perfectly copes with cleaning difficult surfaces in the car and at home, and what is worth noting as one of the few has the ability to disassemble the main nozzle of the entire container, which makes it very easy to empty and clean the various components. Working time in Eco mode, differed slightly from the manufacturer's claims, but in other modes it was almost identical. The system of intelligent detection of the surface and adjustment of the suction power is also a big plus of this model, because it makes cleaning a relaxing experience, although it is not the lightest one.
