This is the Best Dreame H14 Wet and Dry Vacuum. They sent this to us for review and testing of all the new features that come with the release of their handheld cordless wet and dry vacuums. The Edge Roller gets close to the baseboards and picks up debris without an issue, unlike other vacuums. It has blown me away with how this vacuum performed in cleaning up messes like crumbs falling from the table or even tougher messes like sauces, which it picked up and cleaned effortlessly.
180° Li-Flat Reach—My Favorite Feature
My personal favorite feature is the 180° Li-Flat Reach, allowing you to get under furniture and clean hard-to-reach areas.
Unboxing and Setup Process
Before diving into the best features of the H14, let’s look at the unboxing and setup process. The experience was great, with the easiest one-step setup—simply insert the handle into the main body and plug in the base station. Don’t forget to remove the protective film. The package includes an extra roller, a filter, and a long, soft brush that doubles as a hair remover on the handle. Lastly, it comes with a bottle of cleaning solution to improve performance on your floors.
First Impressions of the H14 Performance
The first time I turned it on, I was pleasantly surprised by the roller’s power. The vacuum is significantly lighter and easier to handle compared to others. I also appreciated how much clean water it uses before mopping, which is a big plus.
I tested the roller’s performance with crushed chips along the edge of our island—the Dual Edge Roller did a fantastic job of picking up crumbs, even at the edge. In another test with Sriracha, the vacuum cleaned up with almost a single pass. A really cool upgrade is the display that shows how dirty the floor is, changing from green to yellow to red as cleaning progresses.
LED Display and Control Features
The LED Display shows important information like cleaning mode and battery percentage. The buttons at the top of the handle control various functions, including powering the vacuum on, switching to self-cleaning mode, and toggling between three cleaning modes: Automatic Mode, Ultra Mode, and Suction Mode. These modes are very useful, especially for large spills—in one case, the vacuum picked up water with one go.
Powerful Suction and Motor
The vacuum has 18,000 Pascals of suction and a more powerful 400W motor, compared to the 300W motor on the H12 Pro. The H14 also has higher RPMs.
180° Li-Flat Feature and Omni Wheel Design
As mentioned earlier, the Li-Flat feature allows the vacuum to fully extend to 180°, laying flat on the floor. The special Omni Wheel on the back prevents scratches and helps reach areas that other vacuums can’t.
Liquid Separation Motor and Slim Brush Head
A standout feature is the liquid separation motor, which prevents dirty water from spilling out when the vacuum is horizontal. The slim brush head is designed to fit into tight spaces where other vacuums, like Dyson, can’t reach. The Edge Roller ensures cleaning close to baseboards and around objects.
Internal Comb Tooth Scraper
Hair is also picked up effortlessly with an internal comb tooth scraper that prevents tangling in the roller—Dream has fixed a common issue with wet and dry vacuums.
Self-Cleaning and Drying Functions
Once cleaning is done, you can return the H14 to the base station and click the self-cleaning button. The vacuum will start cleaning the roller with clean water and solution, heated to 60°C to disinfect the roller and prevent mold or odor buildup. The base station does this automatically, cleaning in both directions for a thorough clean.
The H14 also has a drying function, allowing you to choose between quiet mode (which dries the brush in an hour) and flash drying (which takes 5 minutes but is louder). This is a fantastic feature for homes with kids.
Premium Design and Battery Life
Dream has done an excellent job with the premium design of this vacuum, from the high-quality handle to the LED display. The buttons have a great click and feel to them, and the non-touchscreen display ensures it stays cleaner for longer.
The vacuum also has great voice prompts, and you can adjust the volume to your liking. The battery life is impressive, giving you a runtime of around 35 minutes thanks to 6 4,000mAh batteries. You can clean the entire floor without worrying about the vacuum dying mid-task.
Conclusion
The H14 Wet and Dry Vacuum is a premium vacuum that offers quality and performance at a fraction of the cost of other high-end models. It has helped my family stay on top of spills and messes without manual cleanup. The 180° Li-Flat feature is a game-changer, allowing me to clean corners and areas I never thought possible. The self-cleaning feature and drying modes provide flexibility and convenience.
If you’re in the market for a new vacuum, the H14 Wet and Dry Vacuum from Dream is definitely worth considering.
