Dreame’s arm-mounted robot vacuum is back at CES 2026, and it can do more than pick up shoes

Last year at CES, Dreame showed off a prototype robot vacuum cleaner with a mechanical arm. But while we were able to see the arm extend and retract, we didn’t see the device, which was then described as a prototype, grasp anything, which was a bit disappointing.

This year, however, the company made its handheld vacuum cleaner a reality with the Cyber ​​10 Ultra. Dreame recently previewed it at IFA in Berlin, but has now confirmed that it will go on sale later this year.

The vacuum has an extendable arm that looks a lot like the prototype version we saw last year. It extends from the top of the vacuum cleaner and has a claw-like device at the end for picking up objects. According to Dreame, it can pick up objects weighing up to 500 grams (about 1 pound), so it should be able to grab a wider variety of objects than the Roborock vacuum cleaner we saw him last year, who had a weight limit of 300 grams for his arm.

The arm can also do more than pick up objects from the ground. It supports its own cleaning accessories and can grab vacuum nozzles and brushes from its base station. This allows the arm to act as an extension of the vacuum cleaner itself, so it can be used in the same way you might use hose attachments to reach areas that are hard to reach with a traditional vacuum cleaner.

And, like Dreame’s other robot vacuums, the Cyber ​​10 Ultra also has mopping capabilities and can climb small steps up to 6 cm (about 2.4 inches). It’s not as impressive as the tank-shaped stair-climbing Cyber

The company hasn’t announced an exact release date, but says it’s targeting August this year and currently expects the Cyber ​​10 Ultra to cost around €1,799 (around $2,100).
