Dreame X50 Ultra Complete review

Dreame X50 Extremely Full: Introduction

• Kind: Robotic vacuum cleaner with mopping
• Docking: Self-clean and self-empty dock
• Navigation system: LiDAR

From its extra funds beginnings with the Dreame D10 Plus to the more moderen high-end L40 Extremely, Dreame has proven that it’s an organization that has shortly learnt the way to enhance its robots.

With the Dreame X50 Extremely Full, the corporate takes one other step ahead when it comes to know-how. 

Do not forget that Dreame prototype that was on present over in Berlin at IFA final yr, the one that might climb (albeit, small) stairs?

Properly, that’s not a prototype because the ProLeap system formally went stay on the Chinese language model’s newest flagship had its unveiling over in Las Vegas at CES 2025 in January.

The ProLeap system makes use of retractable robotic legs, permitting it to climb over obstacles as much as 4.2cm, or over multi-level steps like patio doorways as much as 6cm; so in the event you’ve bought a multi-level ground in your own home then this could possibly be simply the reply.

Add in highly effective mopping, with glorious carpet avoidance, automated cleansing, a DToF sensor that retracts for cleansing beneath low objects and all of this makes the X50 Extremely Full probably the greatest robotic vacuums and mops accessible right this moment. 

Design and elements 

• Self-clean and self-empty station 
• VersaLift lets the robotic tuck its navigation sensor away 
• Can carry or drop its mopping pads 

At first look, the Dreame X50 Extremely Full doesn’t look so totally different to the Dreame L40 Extremely.

Each ship with an analogous self-empty and self-cleaning docking station, though beneath the hood, the brand new mannequin has some important variations that I’ll undergo. 

This docking station has two tanks: one 4.5-litre tank for clear water and a 4-litre tank for soiled water.

Though the tanks are totally different sizes, as some water is left on the ground after mopping, I discovered that the soiled tank wanted emptying roughly about the identical time that the clear tank wanted refilling. 

In the event you don’t need to trouble with this guide job, there’s an elective water connection equipment, so you possibly can hook the Dreame X50 Extremely Full as much as your mains water and drainage. 

This robotic makes use of even hotter water for mop cleansing than the L40 Extremely did: as much as 80°C, set within the app. That’s even hotter than the 75°C water on supply from the superior Eureka J15 Professional Extremely.

Scorching water helps take away odours and improves the mopping efficiency, significantly when mixed with the elective detergent. 

Dreame gives a 250ml bottle of detergent within the field, however you should buy 1-litre replacements for round $15 / £13 a pop.

The twin mopping pads are robotically scrubbed in opposition to the cleansing deck, with sizzling air drying them off to stop odour and cease micro organism from rising. 

This new machine has a built-in scale inhibitor, which fights to guard the machine in opposition to limescale build-up. As somebody who lives in a hardwater space, it is a good addition. 

Dust is sucked into the large 3.2-litre luggage, with Dreame saying you possibly can go with out changing them for as much as 100 days. Replacements price $20 / £15 for a pack of three, which isn’t unhealthy contemplating you’ll get a few yr’s price of use out of them. 

A secondary 395ml bin is contained in the robotic. You gained’t must empty this manually, however a month-to-month clear of this and the filter will assist preserve efficiency. 

It’s within the robotic that the principle adjustments have been made. Essentially the most noticeable distinction is that the robotic’s navigation sensor isn’t fastened in place. As a substitute, the DToF sensor is a VersaLift mannequin, which may retract into the robotic’s physique when low furnishings is detected, resembling a settee. 

With the sensor retracted, the Dreame X50 Extremely Full is simply 89mm tall, so it might match locations different robots can’t.

The Roborock QRevo Slim is simply as skinny, however it locations its sensors on the entrance; the benefit that the Dreame X50 Extremely Full has is that for more often than not, its sensor has a full 360-degree view, which makes for higher navigation. 

On the entrance of the robotic is an AI-powered digital camera, which the robotic makes use of for navigation and impediment avoidance. 

Beneath, some extra adjustments are evident. There at the moment are two ground rollers: one for exhausting flooring and one for carpets. They contra-rotate, which helps them choose up hair with out tangling. 

Twin microfibre mopping pads are normal for Dreame. As soon as once more, one is a Mop Prolong model, which implies it may be swung out for higher edge cleansing and for cleansing beneath overhangs, resembling fridge doorways. 

For carpets, the mop pads can carry as much as 10.5mm, which lets them keep away from most sorts of carpet. For thicker carpet or for vacuuming solely, the mop pads might be left behind within the docking station. 

The facet brush is a Twin Flex model, which may prolong to scrub corners and edges. This brush can carry 10mm off the bottom, whereas the principle ground brushes can carry 5mm, letting the robotic vacuum after which mop solely, with none hazard or getting the brushes moist. 

Trying on the facet wheels, you possibly can see the ProLeap system. Due to a few legs, the robotic can carry its physique to clear thresholds of as much as 4.2cm, or it might handle thresholds with two steps (say, a step after which sliding door rail) of as much as 6cm. 

The app 

• Massively versatile 
• Far too many selections of water wetness 
• Intelligent automated modes 

The Dreame Dwelling app is used to manage the robotic, and it’s highly effective and versatile.

As quickly because the robotic is related, the app prompts you to do a mapping run of your own home. This doesn’t take lengthy, and the app then suggests the place the rooms are. It’s fairly correct, however splitting and merging rooms is fast if wanted; I needed to tweak the map in my home. 

There are all the conventional controls that you just’ve anticipate, together with no-go and no-mop zones. Not that you just’ll essentially have to make use of a variety of these, as the mixture of ProLeap and VersaLift let this robotic go locations different can’t, and extract itself from bother. 

As soon as the mapping run has been accomplished, the app suggests including detected carpets to the ground plan. As I’ve only a small quantity of exhausting ground, surrounded by carpet, I discovered that the app was overzealous and lined the complete map with carpet. 

Because it was, I discovered that the most suitable choice for my dwelling was to go away the flooring alone and permit the robotic to detect when it was/wasn’t on carpet. 

There are a variety of cleansing choices, together with CleanGenius the place the robotic will use all of its grime detecting prowess to robotically detect stains and mess and clear as applicable. For day-to-day cleansing, that is in all probability all that you just want. 

If you wish to take management of have particular messes to cope with, then you possibly can management the robotic your self. There’s a selection to scrub the complete dwelling, a room (or rooms) of your selection, or zones that you just draw on the map. 

There are then choices to hoover solely, mop solely or vacuum and mop on the similar time. Deciding on mop-only will increase the routing choices, including Intensive and Deep alongside Fast and Normal. For very soiled flooring, Intensive and Deep make the robotic cowl every spot a number of occasions, with tighter turns. 

There’s a selection of 4 vacuum modes, and a loopy slide that offers 30 ranges of mop wetness. That’s far too many choices to select from, and an easier vary of choices would make much more sense. 

It’s nicely price diving into the superior settings, because it’s right here that Dreame places a few of its most fun know-how, together with Stain Recognition and Particle Enhance, which use the cameras and sensors to robotically detect very soiled space and provides them an extra-deep clear. 

I’d additionally activate the automated re-clean possibility, which sees the robotic head again to soiled areas to offer them an additional clear. The identical goes for the Dynamic impediment clearing possibility, the place the Dreame X50 Extremely Full can return to areas it couldn’t attain, say as a result of somebody stepped in entrance of it, and clear them. 

It’s additionally Matter suitable, so it is possible for you to to get it singing and dancing with no matter good dwelling ecosystem you employ.

Efficiency 

• Wonderful vacuuming on carpet 
• Cleans proper to the sting 
• Lengthy battery life 

For day-to-day use, CleanGenius does a fairly good job, with the Dreame X50 Extremely Full capable of spot stains and large spills and react to them robotically. It’s a pleasant set-and-forget possibility. 

When there are deeper stains and extra mess to cope with, I desire the guide choices, so I can drive the robotic to deep clear an space.  

I discovered the Dreame X50 Extremely Full a really succesful robotic vacuum cleaner due to its 20,000Pa suction energy. That’s an unimaginable quantity of energy to pack right into a robotic. On its most setting, it simply pulled grime out of a carpet over two passes to the purpose the place I barely want to make use of a handheld cordless vacuum cleaner. 

Arduous flooring have been cleaned simply as nicely, with even massive spills of mess simply picked up, leaving the ground trying pretty much as good as new. 

Edge cleansing is spot-on, each for vacuuming and mopping. There was a small strip subsequent to my kitchen plinth that wanted the occasional tidy up by hand, however for essentially the most half, this robotic will clear with none intervention. 

Mopping is sensible, however I do urge you to activate the entire superior choices. Placed on most water and deep mopping, most stains got here off in two passes, however my robust dried-on ketchup take a look at got here off after 4, with only a tiny quantity left. 

For all common day-to-day messes, the Dreame X50 Extremely Full is able to mopping in addition to a devoted exhausting ground cleaner. 

Regardless of residing in a house with pets and other people with lengthy hair, the Dreame X50 Extremely Full managed to keep away from getting tangled with hair, the brand new curler clearly doing its job. 

Navigation can also be glorious. I’ve bought a difficult nook couch that has seen many a robotic wedge itself caught, however not with the X50. Decreasing its sensor, the robotic bought beneath the couch, cleaned and got here out the opposite facet. 

Threshold climbing can also be sensible. Placing down a barrier between rooms, the ProLeap system kicked into motion, lifting the robotic and letting it climb over the step. It’s not the pretties of actions, however ProLeap does imply that the Dreame X50 Extremely Full can go locations many different robots can’t. 

AI impediment avoidance works brilliantly, too, avoiding footwear, cables and the pretend pet mess that I’d littered the lab with. 

Impressively, the robotic solely measured 57.7dB on my decibel meter, which makes this one of many quietest robots that I’ve examined. 

Dreame quotes battery life at an enormous 220 minutes on the Quiet setting. Even whacking the whole lot as much as max didn’t trigger a problem, and I may simply cowl the complete floor ground on two passes and have sufficient energy left to deal with spot jobs.  

Remaining ideas

The Dreame X50 Extremely Full is a superb vacuum cleaner and mop that’s able to going locations many others can’t due to its VersaLift sensor and ProLeap system for sliding beneath furnishings and climbing thresholds.

It vacuums brilliantly and, given sufficient passes and the appropriate settings, may even take away very robust stains. 

In the event you’ve bought a house with a difficult format that has confused different robots, and also you’re after a top-tier robo cleaner, then the X50 may nicely be the very best one for you.

How we take a look at

Once we publish our critiques, you possibly can relaxation assured that they’re the results of “residing with” long run assessments.

Robotic cleaners often stay inside an ecosystem, or a variety of merchandise that – supposedly – all work in concord. And they’re designed to supply a variety of various cleansing choices. Subsequently, it’s unimaginable to make use of a robo cleaner for every week and ship a verdict.

As a result of we’re testing good dwelling equipment all day, on a regular basis, we all know what issues and the way a specific good cleansing machine compares to options that you may also be contemplating.
