Modern society is far too busy.
Everyone spends their days being rushed by work, hobbies, and housework, but the fact that a day only has 24 hours remains unchanged, so there is a limit to what can be done.
However! Even when busy, if you don't clean, dust and trash will only continue to accumulate. It certainly won't resolve itself naturally.
In times like these, how about leaving everything to a robot?
We visited the new product launch event for Dreame, the trending smart home appliance brand that arrived in Japan in June 2023, to learn about its latest fully automatic robot vacuum, the DreameBot X30 Ultra!
DreameBot X30 Ultra, a 6-Way High-End Fully Automatic Robot Vacuum
The DreameBot X30 Ultra new product experience and networking event was held at a venue in Tokyo.
First, Ryoko Takano, Representative Director of Dreame Technology Japan Co., Ltd., took the stage to introduce an overview of Dreame.
Dreame started in 2015 as an internal organization of Tsinghua University and has rapidly expanded its scale since its establishment in 2017.
By actively investing in research and development, such as obtaining 2,345 patents (as of February 2024), it has deployed more than 100 products, including vacuum cleaners that utilize high-speed digital motor technology.
Sold in more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, the company has achieved the No. 1 market share for robot vacuums in Germany and Italy.
Full-scale expansion began in Japan in June 2023, and in December 2023, the Dreame Hair Glory, a hair dryer utilizing high-speed digital motor technology, also went on sale in Japan.
Next, Masaki Ishizuka, Sales Director of Dreame Technology Japan Co., Ltd., provided an explanation of the new product.
The DreameBot X30 Ultra base station achieves 6-way full automation, as follows:
- Automatic trash collection (up to 80 days)
- Hot water mop washing
- Automatic base station cleaning
- Hot air mop drying
- Suction & mopping
- Automatic detergent dispensing
The DreameBot X30 Ultra is newly equipped with three innovative technologies.
MopExtend extends the mop to reach walls that have poor compatibility with the round shape of robot vacuums.
Automatic mop attachment/detachment prevents mops used for mopping floors from touching long-haired carpets.
Self-cleaning automatically washes the mops and washboard with 60-degree hot water.
One is surprised by Dreame's insatiable ambition for improvement.
Also, what personally caught my attention was the industry's first Hair Cutting Brush.
One wants a fully automatic robot vacuum to clean fully automatically as the name suggests, but human hair is extremely strong and troublesome.
It's a major concern for users when they think the vacuum is moving but dirt is still noticeable... only to find hair tangled in the brush, compromising the suction power.
The Hair Cutting Brush (sold separately; currently no standalone sale) can be attached to the DreameBot X30 Ultra.
The cutter inside the zig-zags cuts only the hair without damaging the carpet.
It has fulfilled the ideal of a fully automatic robot vacuum that aims to reduce human maintenance to the limit.
The base station and main unit of the DreameBot X30 Ultra look like this.
It is a refined and chic design.
Next, Meiling Jin, Global Team Manager of the Project Promotion Department at Makuake, Inc., took the stage.
She explained an overview of the support purchase service Makuake.
The support purchase service Makuake hosts many projects such as gaming devices and portable gaming PCs.
As of December 2023, one of its characteristics is the high project unit price, with over 90 billion yen collected across a cumulative total of more than 37,000 projects.
On average, 30 to 50 projects are launched every day, and it is interesting just looking at the new projects.

Finally, Koji Mitani, President and CEO of CFD Sales Co., which is Dreame's authorized distributor in Japan, took the stage.
In Japan, they deployed preceding models from around February 2023 and began full-scale introduction of products in June 2023.
He mentioned that the high-end model DreameBot L20 Ultra Complete in particular is selling well, and overall sales are also increasing steadily.
And for the DreameBot X30 Ultra announced this time, Wednesday, March 27, 2024 marks the start of the pre-order sale on Makuake!

Considering maintenance and continued use, the set including the accessory kit is likely the one to want.
Robot vacuums greatly reduce the burden of housework even if they require manual maintenance.
However, Dreame is developing fully automatic robot vacuums every day that require as little human intervention as possible through its inherent research technology.
Dreame Technology Japan Co., Ltd. is enthusiastic, stating that Lack of brand awareness is the biggest weakness, so we want the Japanese market to thoroughly recognize the quality of our products, and the performance-focused new product DreameBot X30 Ultra will surely help with that.
The pre-order sale for the DreameBot X30 Ultra has already begun.
Please check the specs and other details on the Makuake project page and consider purchasing it at the limited-quantity special price.
