The dream X50 not only wiped my floors – it outwisted my furniture

CNETS important snack bars

• No robot vacuum has really solved the challenge of the multilevel cleaning without having to physically move them between the floors.
• This Robo-VAC can do it for the high-end price of $ 1,700.
• You will currently not find any other robot vacuum with its functions for less than $ 1,000.

The jumping point when owning a robot vacuum is so that you don't have to do the cleaning itself. But that was never the case in my house – partly because of the so -called “Ikea Chair Challenge”. I saw how many robo-Vacs get stuck on the bottom of one of my chairs that has an unusually shaped basis. It is just an obstacle for many in my house, which is also filled with animal hair, paw prints and three young sons who leave things around everywhere.

After the Dream X50 Robot Vacuum was recognized as the best for obstacles and pets, I was able to see how it was recorded in real conditions.

Well, it conquered the Ikea chair. It was actually quite entertaining to see when the dream X50 grouped itself up, re -grouped itself and then used its armor arms to get over the base of the chair, and that was just one of the tools in his arsenal.

My experience with the Dream X50 Ultra Robot Vakuum

With regard to the powerful Dream X50 Ultra, was generally solid. It started with a complete cleaning, then sucked and wiped wipe on his second run. During the app setup I said it, I have pets so that it emptied his pile during the first run. I found it pretty smart to raise his pug while I sucked the carpet.

It took 123 minutes to do his work in my house. The wiping function was surprisingly effective and fought muddy paw prints on my vinyl plank floors, and I could be able to use a stick mop myself. And I was particularly impressed by his property avoidance; It navigated for shoes, cords and even my two dogs without any problems.

Setting up was a child's play: the app was intuitive and the quality of the machine building felt robust, although I questioned the long-term durability with so many movable parties as many of the auxiliary degree weapons and the reduction of the tower.

An important function that really noticed was the confusion -free role. In my home test, in which the dream X50 was compared with my older Roborock Q5 after cleaning a large carpet, the difference was noticeable. The robor skirt was clogged with hair while the dreamers' scooters was completely clean. This is a massive advantage over the competitors who often have to deal with pet hair. This is another of my big tests – I call it my “great Pyrenees.

My family quickly got used to traveling around, and it was almost like another household member – quirky and sometimes a little confused, but overall very helpful. In the end, it was not only effective when you observed how obstacles such as the basis of my Ikea chair conquer where other robots get stuck. It was actually fun to see.

CNETS purchase advice

The dream X50 Ultra is rich, ideal for pets, obstacles and property avoidance. It is best if you want an advanced navigation and wiping and are ready to pay additional functions such as the climbing arms and the lowering of tower. However, it is not the absolute best with pure vacuuming, especially on carpets, and the software can be a bit quirky. However, the good news is that Dream makes the technology more affordable, with the ability to take the ability to skill on other models, including the new Aqua 10 series and the L40S Ultra series.

At its full price of approximately 1,700 US dollars, the Dreame X50 Ultra is a very expensive robot vacuum. If you strongly appreciate its unique functions such as climbing ability and advanced furniture navigation, this could be worth the investment. However, if you mainly deal with raw vacuum cleaner power or have a closer budget, there are cheaper options. It is a luxury product and the value corresponds to its premium characteristics.

For a better vacuuming performance of carpets and a lower price, the Ecovacs Deebot T30 or the IROBOT Roomba Combo J7 Plus have better rejected during the Labort Tests of CNET. While all three vacuum and wiping functions have, the Ecovacs Deebot T30 (1,400 US dollars with a stick -VAC) or the Irobot Roomba combo J7 (600 US dollars) are cheaper than the Dream X50 Ultra (1,699 US dollar). However, it is worthwhile to point out that the dream X50 Ultra is one of the few robot vacuum cleaners that we have tested at CNET with the ability to lower objects, overcome rooms and under furniture.
