How strong is the suction on the DREAME X50 Ultra, and does it actually clean well?
DREAME rates the Vormax system at up to 20,000Pa, driven by a sixth-generation TurboForce motor, with five power levels so the robot can scale suction to the surface rather than running flat-out everywhere. It cleans well: dirt, dust, crumbs and pet hair come up from hard floors and carpet, and noise stays reasonable for a robot with this much suction.
Can the X50 Ultra cross thresholds and get under furniture like sofas and beds?
Yes, through two separate mechanical systems. ProLeap uses retractable legs to lift the robot over door tracks, thresholds, and obstacles up to 2.36 inches tall, while VersaLift drops the chassis down to a 3.5-inch profile so it can slide under low furniture that would otherwise block it. Together they're built to handle both raised transitions between rooms and low-clearance gaps under couches and beds in the same cleaning run, backed by 3DAdapt smart obstacle detection for cords and clutter along the way.
Does it handle pet hair and long hair without tangling the brush?
DREAME's DuoBrush system is rated to manage long hair up to 11.8 inches and uses an air-duct design to pull hair off the brushes rather than letting it wind around the roller. On the floor, pet hair pickup is strong. The weaker point is the base station: with heavy pet hair, its auto-empty suction may not fully clear the robot's bin, so pet owners should check the bin now and then rather than assume it is always empty.
Is the DREAME X50 Ultra worth the investment?
It sits at the premium end of the robot-vacuum category, so it isn't a universal yes. For most homes the automation and cleaning performance justify the cost, but not for all. Weigh the auto-empty base, self-cleaning mop and threshold-climbing hardware against what you would actually use; if your floors are simple and flat, a cheaper robot may do the job.
How long does the battery last, and does the robot recharge and empty itself?
Battery life is rated at 180 minutes per charge. The robot returns to its base station, which plugs into a standard 110-volt outlet and empties the dustbin and washes and dries the mop pads between runs, so you don't need to swap attachments or empty the bin after every clean. A ramp extension for the base station is included in the box.
What surfaces and smart-home controls does the X50 Ultra support?
DREAME lists it as suited for hard floor, carpet, marble, wood, and tile, with five carpet-care modes covering options like removing the mop pads before carpet, avoiding carpet altogether, or boosting suction once carpet is detected. Control is available through the DREAME app, a physical remote, or voice assistants compatible with smartphones, Amazon Echo, Siri, Google Home, and smartwatches. One real limitation to plan around at setup: the unit only supports 2.4GHz WiFi, not 5GHz, which some households discover only after their router needs a network band adjustment.
