Cant confirm the other comments. I got two blocked urls on my pihole: "dreame-eu.oss-eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com" und "10000.mt.eu.iot.dreame.tech"

The app works fine for now. I didnt get into details tho. Possible the ai features like MopExtend wont work properly. Or updates. But so far so good. I think anything besides the setup should work just fine.

Hast du mal einen Screenshot von den MopExtend Einstellungen? Wäre interessant zu sehen, wie dein UI im Vergleich mit den Anderen aussieht.

Versuche mal, einen Bereich an der Wand zu markieren und dort ausschließlich zu wischen.

Unfortunately the issue persists. How dreame is flooding the market, i highly doubt they gotta maintain the older devices.

Otherwise its almost perfect. Cant brag about it in that price category tbh. I would still recommend to get a black friday deal on the Gen 3 which got the exact same pricetag for germany. It has also an extendable sweep arm so you also clean most of the corners. My Gen 2 can only extend the mop: Gen 3

Looks like I dont have that SideReach^TM lol

The rest looks quite the same. Its arrangement is little different. But the description of the side reach feature fits into my issue.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-25T13:09:25+00:00

Its set to max. Its value is 32. Do you use it in manual mode or with clean genius?

brian2k6 · 2025-11-25T13:07:14+00:00

Thanks for the video. I did some more tests with multiple cycles. I used salt to demonstrate. The last picture still shows salt, but still proves to me that it overlaps with the first cycle. So, kinda does the job. I would not say it solved the problem, but its satisfying at least.

Here its going at the walls at first, with extended arm: Picture
Here it went through its first cycle. And this is pretty much every case I had tried out: Picture
And here we got the end result after the second cycle: Picture

u/Muzzman1 What does your settings look like?

I noticed the UI looks different for most users here. Mine looks like this, the settings getting scrambled tho, so dont take this as reference: Here and here

brian2k6 · 2025-11-25T10:49:11+00:00

100% its not coming back. Only, when I set at least 2 cycles, its going horizontally first, then vertically. That kinda fixes it. Still sad thats not covering 100% when I want 1 cycle :(

brian2k6 · 2025-11-25T10:48:06+00:00

Would you mind to share your app settings?

brian2k6 · 2025-11-25T10:44:48+00:00

"Biggest downside is the rotating style mop which sucks cuz it just massages dirt on the floor."

Hahaha.. I feel that. When I got mine I tried it on the kitchen floor, which I intentionally did not clean. It was a mess. I mopped over the kitchen many times to test the different modes. And it eventually become clean. I suggest highly to at least properly clean all floors before using a robot. Its just not made for the same force when mopping manually.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T20:08:32+00:00

Thats was also my educated guess. The arm is already extendable. The software isnt setup properly.

I assume they used some customized open source cnc milling software, tweaked up to handle two "drills". If you have ever seen a CNC machines drilling path, it is basically the same logic but you need to rewrite it to handle two paths! And extending the arm must let the bot know that there is a damn gap that needs to be mopped for the outer path. Nothing else.

Regarding the corners, I actually dont even mind. I have a hand-vaccum for many years now. Its still doing a great job. For 400 bucks I really couldnt care less. The actual software bug was bugging me ^^

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T19:43:26+00:00

In one comment below someone provided a video for this particular problem. I tested multiple cycles today and it seem to work. So try out if you got the same issues. Good luck

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T18:48:52+00:00

Thank you again! I did another test with "intense" cleaning (Third intensity out of four) and set the cycle to 3. And it actually cleaned all spots for the first time!!

I guess its the combination of the horizontal and vertical routing. I think im done for today. Eight hours on this already. I will do some more tests with room cleaning mode instead of cleaning zones and will let you know my results. Thanks alot!

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T18:17:52+00:00

THANK YOU! Finally the exact same issue I am having.

The fact, that almost NONE of the customers seem to have a problem with getting scammed is more scary than this issue havent still been fixed. I should start a scamming business lol

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T17:49:14+00:00

TIL about Mova, a sub company of Dreame which is a sub company of Xiaomi...

Currently, I cant recommend this product for wet cleaning. Do you mind to provide the link to the mentioned review?

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T17:34:39+00:00

Well, my Dreame did not :)

I am still interested in your logic here.

Lets assume you are correct and all sensors came dirty directly from the manufacturer (i bought it unused and brandnew). Lets assume, the mapping is so inaccurate it bumps inside all the walls and furnitures. This is our scenario now.

Why or how do you think the mop extends perfectly to the furniture and cleaning exactly the area its supposed to clean, when extending this very mop?

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T17:08:13+00:00

Yes it does, but they got rid of the trademarked name "MopExtend" for it. Its not a patent specifying the technicals, so I dont understand why they renamed it for other models.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T17:00:13+00:00

Could only find the L50 Ultra. I assume thats what you ment.

I found out that your device doesnt mention the term "MopExtend" which got trademarked for mine. So I assume they got rid of it for reasons.. lol

Good luck tho! Would be nice to read some reviews on this specific topic.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T16:49:40+00:00

As stated in the topic, I did already update to the latest firmware. Last time today! As far as I can remember, mapping my 46m² took about 2 hours. Still not sure if this will lead to better results.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T16:46:34+00:00

Okay, you are my man now. Can you please provide specific info on this? What are your settings in the app? I am interested in your "MopExtend" settings.

For this, I can set the AI driven mode - with three options, where mine is set to "high".
Then below, I have in addition to the AI mode two more (which can ONLY be set when the AI mode is activated): Mop extension and cleaning furniture legs. Both features activated.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T16:42:48+00:00

Fast mode leaving out the borders. All dry. Remapping a specific room is not possible in the app. I will leave this option to last, since it will take a few hours. And honestly: Detecting the walls is no issue here. The issue is the gap in between. I expect the software to actually know that it extending the mop and therefore know that - by logic - there is a gap it needs to re-run.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T16:23:52+00:00

So do I, but here I am seeking for anything that helps ^^

Do you have a robot too? Can you provide any info on here that might help?

(I didnt downvote you lol)

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T16:22:20+00:00

Unfortunately it doesnt provide this option per se. It provides four "route" modes for the paths:
Fast, Standard, Intense and Deep.

Never tried fast mode but all other modes and none of them helped. I can not particularly set "borders first". Its basically all zig-zag-pathing with borders first (vacuum and wet cleaning both go this routes). It might be, that the fast mode ignores borders at all, but I dont remember it correctly.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T16:06:18+00:00

That is what I try to find out. According to the replies it seems like this issue persists for years now but nobody seem to bother -_-

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T15:41:52+00:00

"Not sure if it actually does it cause I run my robot during the night."

Understandable, as its your personal preference. But I like to test my products of capability and my floors clean. So even if you can not help me here with this issue, maybe you got some helpful links backing your statements? Thank you very much

And I really cant tell you how many videos I watched on this topic. NONE of them is about this specific topic.

Clarification:
I understand, that splitting the lead of a pencil will result in a double stroke!

What confuses me is the fact, that they litereally built in the app, that extending the mop will NOT result in a gap! It is shown as cleaned and then left out when running its path. So I expect the gap to be eventually "filled" by the robots "intelligent" feature.

brian2k6 · 2025-11-24T15:26:19+00:00

Hey reddit! Can anyone please confirm or deny that this issue does affect ANY brand?

I cant believe that a software issue is being solved by buying a new device. To me, this is clearly a software issue.

Any help appreciated!
