Final 12 months at CES, Dreame confirmed off a robotic vacuum prototype with a mechanical arm. However whereas we have been in a position to see the arm lengthen and retract, we didn’t see the gadget, which was described as a prototype on the time, really seize something, which was a bit disappointing.
This 12 months, although, the corporate has made its arm-enabled vacuum a actuality with the Cyber 10 Extremely. Dreame previewed it lately at IFA in Berlin, however has now confirmed will probably be on sale later this 12 months.
The vacuum has an extendable arm that appears fairly much like the prototype model we noticed final 12 months. It extends from the highest of the vacuum and has a claw-like gadget on the finish for scooping up objects. Based on Dreame, it will probably choose up gadgets that weigh as much as 500 grams (about 1 pound) so it ought to be capable to seize a greater diversity of stuff than the Roborock vac we noticed final 12 months, which had a 300-gram weight restrict for its arm.
The arm also can do greater than choose up stuff from the ground. It helps its personal cleansing equipment, and may seize vacuum nozzles and brush attachments from its base station. This permits the arm to behave as an extension of the vacuum itself so it may be used equally to the way you may use hose attachments to achieve hard-to-get areas with a conventional vacuum.
We have been in a position to see a short demo of the Cyber 10 arm in motion on the CES present ground. It was in a position to choose up balls and place them in a basket. Sadly, we didn’t get to see it raise any heavier object or seize its cleansing attachments, however we have been in a position to get a superb have a look at the bottom station and the small cubbies the place they are going to be saved.

And, like Dreame’s different robotic vacuums, the Cyber 10 Extremely additionally has mopping talents and may climb up small steps as much as 6cm (about 2.4 inches). That is not fairly as spectacular because the tank-like stair-climbing Cyber X prototype it additionally dropped at CES, however ought to assist the Cyber 10 attain a couple of additional locations in the home.
The corporate hasn’t introduced an actual launch date, however says it is focusing on August of this 12 months and at the moment expects the Cyber 10 Extremely to value round €1799 (about $2,100).
