Dreame Unveils Z30 Pro Aqua: A New Benchmark for Wet & Dry Cordless Cleaning

Dreame Technology has officially launched the Z30 Pro Aqua in the UK, introducing a new category of cordless cleaning that merges powerful dry vacuuming with advanced wet‑cleaning performance. Designed as a true all‑in‑one solution, the Z30 Pro Aqua aims to simplify home care by tackling dust, debris, spills, and stains in a single, seamless pass.Recognised by Frost & Sullivan as a pioneer in wet‑cleaning vacuum technology, Dreame is positioning the Z30 Pro Aqua as a flagship model that redefines how households approach everyday cleaning.



🌧️ Wet & Dry Cleaning in One Pass
At the heart of the Z30 Pro Aqua is AquaCycle™ 2.0, a four‑phase cleaning system that sprays, scrapes, scrubs, and suctions simultaneously. This allows the vacuum to handle everything from dried‑on stains to fresh spills with impressive efficiency.

A three‑zone water management system keeps clean water, dirty water, and solid debris separate — ensuring hygienic operation throughout the cleaning session. The base station completes the cycle with automatic roller washing and 70°C hot‑air drying, reducing manual maintenance.



💨 Powerful Suction Meets Smart Engineering
Driven by Dreame’s TurboMotor™, the Z30 Pro Aqua delivers up to 28,000Pa of suction power. Cyclone separation technology prevents filter clogging, maintaining consistent performance, while a five‑layer filtration system captures fine dust, pollen, and pet dander with 99.99% efficiency.

A high‑capacity LiPo battery offers up to 90 minutes of runtime, enough to clean homes up to 200m² on a single charge.



🌀 Multi‑Surface Mastery with Anti‑Tangle Innovation
The upgraded multi‑surface brush features TangleCut™ dual motorised scrapers, which actively cut and remove hair during cleaning — eliminating the need to manually detangle the brush. Paired with CelesTect™ illumination, users get clearer visibility of hidden dust and debris.



🧹 Designed for Real Homes
The Z30 Pro Aqua’s 90° foldable extension rod makes it easy to reach under furniture without bending or moving heavy items. A 180° rotating head improves manoeuvrability in tight spaces, and the included accessories support cleaning on carpets, upholstery, and stubborn stains.

Dreame CEO Yu Hao Issues Public Apology Following Controversial Remarks

On 21 May, Dreame CEO Yu Hao released a video statement publicly apologising for comments he made earlier this spring, in which he suggested that “people who don’t like Dreame are losers.”

The controversy stems from an April 29 post in which Yu discussed how, in his view, a woman could gauge a partner’s cognitive ability, intelligence, and financial standing by how he responds to her pursuit. In that post, Yu claimed that men who speak positively of him typically demonstrate strong intellect, an open mindset, and a successful track record. Those who do not, he wrote, were “basically losers,” describing them as pessimistic, unmotivated, and unsuccessful in both life and career.

In his new video, Yu said the apology was entirely self‑initiated and not the result of external pressure. 
“I was out of my mind at the time,” he admitted, adding that he hoped consumers would give Dreame the opportunity to correct its mistakes.

Yu also encouraged the public to continue offering feedback, saying that constructive criticism would help the company improve.
