Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • Doubles as a garment steamer, so it replaces two appliances
  • Auto-mix dosing saves you guessing how much solution to pour
  • 100°C steam is hot enough to deal with dust mites in mattresses

✗ Cons

  • 17,000Pa suction trails the 20,000Pa units at a higher price
  • Auto-mix means buying Dreame's solution to use it as designed

The Dreame N20 is the 2-in-1 option here: a spot cleaner for sofas and car seats that also works as a garment steamer. It runs 100°C steam, 70°C hot water, 17,000Pa suction, four cleaning modes, and doses its own solution.

How well does it clean?

On fabric it does the standard job well. 100°C steam is hot enough to deal with dust mites in a mattress, which is the reason a lot of Filipino households buy one of these in the first place, and 70°C hot water handles ordinary stains.

The number that gives ground is suction. 17,000Pa sits below the 18kPa Simplus and UWANT units and clearly below the 20,000Pa machines, so slightly more water stays in the cushion. For everyday spills that’s academic. On a badly soaked seat you’ll feel it in the drying time.

What makes it different?

Two things. It doubles as a garment steamer, so if you were about to buy both a spot cleaner and a clothes steamer, this replaces the pair. For shirts and dresses before work it’s genuinely enough.

And it auto-mixes the solution, dosing detergent into the water rather than leaving you to pour by eye. That’s convenient and prevents over-concentration, though it does steer you toward buying Dreame’s own solution to use it as designed.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱12,000 as of August 5, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That’s roughly double the mid-range spot cleaners, and the extra buys you the garment function and Dreame’s build rather than better suction. If you’d genuinely have bought a garment steamer too, the maths works. If not, cheaper machines clean fabric harder. Over three years, an assumption rather than a published lifespan, it comes to about ₱77 a week.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want one appliance instead of two and you value convenience over raw suction. It’s the right choice for a condo where storage space is tight. If your only job is deep-cleaning fabric, spend less and get more pull.

Alternatives to consider

Want stronger suction for less? The PerySmith M2 Pro Max runs 20,000Pa and hot and cold modes at around ₱5,600 as of August 5, 2026. Prefer the same brand for floors? Dreame’s H16 Pro steam vacuum washes, vacuums, and dries in one pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it really replace a garment steamer?

For everyday creases on shirts and dresses, yes, and that's a genuine saving if you were going to buy both. For heavy tailoring or thick fabric, a dedicated garment steamer still does it better.

What does auto-mix solution mean?

The machine doses the cleaning solution into the water for you rather than you pouring by eye. It's convenient and stops you over-concentrating the mix, but it does point you toward buying Dreame's own solution.

How does 17,000Pa compare to rivals?

It's below the 18kPa units and well below the 20,000Pa ones, which means slightly more moisture left in the fabric. For normal household spills you won't notice; on a soaked cushion you might.

Is Dreame a trustworthy brand?

Yes. Dreame is a well-known appliance maker with an official Shopee PH store and a global product line, including the higher-end H16 Pro. Buying from the official store keeps warranty support straightforward.
