The perfect vacuum cleaner. Dreame X50 Ultra after half a year (test)

In July 2025, he arrived at my home Dreame X50 Ultra cleaning robot. Previously, I used the Dreame X40 Ultra model for many months. Because it stopped working properly and the seller did not respond to my warranty claim in time, I returned the old model and purchased a new one in its place.

The manufacturer’s promises regarding this device were very high. 20 thousand Pa of suction power, mechanical legs to “jump” over thresholds and a LiDAR turret that hides inside the housing to get under the lowest cabinets. These are just some of these promises.

Now, after six months everyday fight against dust, Christmas tree needles and other dirt, I check whether this equipment is approximately PLN 4,000 (that’s how much I paid) is it really the king of autonomy, or just an expensive gadget with a “cloud” problem.

Dreame X50 Ultra was supposed to be complete device. After half a year of use, I can honestly admit that it’s an almost perfect machine. However, there were a few things that annoyed me along the way. What? You will learn this, among other things, from the review below, which I invite you to read and comment on.

One of the biggest problems of its predecessor, the X40 Ultra, was the LiDAR turret, which made it impossible to drive under some furniture. This is masterfully solved in the X50 Ultra.

System VersaLift allows the robot hide the laser inside the housing. Thanks to this, the height of the device drops to 89 mm. After half a year, I see a real difference. The robot easily slides under my low plinths in the kitchen, where the X40 Ultra only helplessly “knocked” its housing.

The second “goodies” are: ProLeap legsused for jumping over thresholds up to 6 cm high. However, I have to be honest as a tester – there are practically no thresholds in my apartment, so this function mainly “smelled new” to me. It’s nice that it is there because it gives you a sense of security that the robot won’t get stuck in older buildings. But I didn’t use it on a daily basis.

It might seem like a lot 20000 Pa will turn the robot into a taking off jet. Nothing could be further from the truth. The X50 Ultra is noticeably quieter from the X40 Ultra, even though it has much greater suction power. This is a huge plus – the robot can work while I’m watching a movie without disturbing me too much.

System HyperStream DuoBrush (double brushes) works great with my hair, which I can confirm after half a year. However, the Christmas tree season revealed a weak point – Christmas tree needles clog the air intake channels very easily. You have to be careful because the robot tries to suck in everything it encounters. Sometimes this results in “choking”.

When it comes to stains, there are no miracles. The robot cannot cope with dried dirt that requires scrubbing and you have to use a traditional mop.

I made a significant modification to the tested cleaning robot – I got rid of the water tanks. I used the do kit instead permanent connection to the water supply and sewage system. The biggest surprise and advantage is that the module purchased for the older Dreame X40 Ultra model fits here perfectly. Dreame did not change the spacing of the connectors, which saved me several hundred zlotys on new equipment.

An additional advantage of the X50 Ultra compared to its predecessor is detergent tank inside the station. The robot doses the liquid itself, which, combined with automatic water collection, makes it… interaction with the device is limited to a minimum. Once a month, I wipe the sensors and replace consumables, of which – importantly – there are a hell of a lot of original and cheaper substitutes on the market.

Dreamehome application it is solid and offers some brilliant patents. We can arrange direction of laying floor panelsthanks to which the robot cleans along the joints, not across them. This not only looks aesthetic, but also causes less damage to the edges of the boards. Another “taste” is this curtain detection. The robot knows where they are hanging and avoids them so as not to get tangled in them.

AI Action obstacle recognition system works quite decently. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don’t have a dog, so I couldn’t test the legendary “fecal incidents”, i.e. avoiding animal excrement. The robot simply cleans and rarely requires attention, which was my main goal when I bought it.

Dreame X50 Pro has been equipped into the camerawhich is normally used, among other things, to detect obstacles in its path. However, this gadget can also be used for remote home monitoring.

In the smartphone application we will see what the robot’s camera sees. What’s more, we can use it drive like a remote controlled car. I was positively surprised here very high responsiveness devices to commands issued using touch buttons in the application.

Time for the biggest flaw. Rumors have been circulating on the Internet for half a year now support for the Matter standard. However, it wasn’t until literally a few days into this that I discovered that finally you can turn it on.

Why is it so important? Because until now, in order to control the vacuum cleaner, you had to do this via the manufacturer’s cloud. This meant that you had to use some sort of home automation to turn on the vacuum cleaner contact him online. Now you can do it locally.

There’s only one problem. What Dreame X50 Ultra brings to you in this way is very poor. In the case of integration via the cloud, we have access to 190 entities. The robot can therefore be controlled comprehensively and flexibly. In the case of the Matter standard, we have only 4. Basically, we can only start, stop and end cleaning, send the robot to the base station and view its status.

The implementation of Matter in the tested robot is very poor, but it is better than nothing. I hope it will get better with time.

The dependence on the Internet and Dreame servers conflicts with the idea of ​​a fully local, secure smart home and for many advanced users this is a big minus. This is also true in my case.

It’s worth mentioning improved PowerDock station. In the X40 Ultra model, the drip tray next to the mops often became clogged with “silt” of wet dust. In X50 Ultra, after half a year of checking every now and then – there is no problem.

The mop cleaning and drying system (now at 80°C) seems much more efficient and better thought out in terms of removing dirt.

Dreame X50 Ultra cost me approximately PLN 4,000. This is a very good price for such useful equipment. To start with, it was him PLN 1,000 cheaper than the previous model, the X40 Ultra. Despite the lower price, the device offers many important improvements.

It is an undoubted advantage retractable laser turret. Thanks to it, the robot fits under low cabinets. It also has special legs to overcome high thresholds. It cleans very hard, but is quieter than older models.

Docking station now he works almost independently. She washes the mops herself at 80°C and dispenses the liquid. The new design means that dirty sediment no longer accumulates inside. It can also be connected directly to the home water network and sewage system.

AI system efficiently detects curtainsthe application also allows you to manually set the direction of the panels. The main drawback until recently was the lack of support for the Matter standard, although it had been promised for a long time. The X50 Ultra was therefore fully dependent on the Internet and the manufacturer’s cloud if you wanted to integrate it with your own smart home system. This has changed in recent days, but to a very limited extent.

Despite some shortcomings, I believe that Dreame X50 Ultra is a complete and recommendable device.
