The Dreame H11 Wet and Dry Vacuum is a versatile cleaning appliance designed for both wet and dry messes. It combines the functionality of a vacuum cleaner with the ability to wash floors, making it suitable for a variety of cleaning tasks in the home.
Function Description
The Dreame H11 is primarily a wet and dry vacuum, meaning it can effectively clean up both solid debris and liquid spills. It features a roller brush assembly that scrubs surfaces while simultaneously vacuuming up dirt and water. The device is equipped with separate tanks for clean water and dirty water, ensuring that clean water is always used for washing and dirty water is collected separately. This design prevents cross-contamination and ensures a more hygienic cleaning process.
A key feature of the Dreame H11 is its self-cleaning function. After use, the vacuum can be placed on its charging base, and with a press of a button, it will automatically clean the roller brush. This helps to maintain the hygiene of the brush and prolong its lifespan. The vacuum also includes a voice prompt system that provides real-time feedback and guidance during operation, such as indicating tank status or cleaning modes.
The device offers different cleaning modes, including a Standard Mode and a Turbo Mode, allowing users to adjust the suction level based on the cleaning intensity required. An LED display screen provides visual information about the battery level, cleaning status, and any errors.
