Our Verdict
Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
Dreame L40 Ultra
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is ultimately a better vacuum than the Dreame L40 Ultra. The Roborock delivers better overall debris-pickup performance across a wider range of surface types. However, despite boasting a theoretically more advanced RGB color camera for obstacle recognition, the Dreame does a similarly good job of spotting and avoiding hazards.
