Dreame X50 vs X60 Pro Ultra

Buy the X50 Ultra Complete unless your doorway thresholds are too tall for it; the X60 Pro climbs higher but costs a lot more, and its other gains are disputed.

Updated

The short version

X50 Ultra CompleteOur pick

The better buy for most homes. It has what people buy these flagships for: legs that lift it over raised thresholds, a tower that drops to 8.9cm for low furniture, and mopping two home testers loved. Its app was easy to live with. You give up the X60 Pro's taller climb and longer mop reach, carpet is its weaker side, and the battery lasted about 90 minutes in one test.

X60 Pro Ultra Complete

The one to buy if your thresholds or split levels are too tall for the X50. Dreame rates it for two-step thresholds up to 10cm, and an arm pushes one mop up to 18cm out to reach along skirting boards. It's the same 8.9cm tall under furniture. It costs a lot more, a lab found weak cleaning along walls, and two reviewers found the app hard going.

What reviewers found

X50 Ultra Complete

Tech Advisor watched it climb a bedroom threshold that had beaten plenty of other robots, and TechRadar called its mopping the most thorough it had tried. The lab was cooler: RTINGS found it missed fine dirt and barely used its extending brush in corners, and rated its stain removal mediocre. Everyone agrees carpet is its weaker side. Pet mess splits them, with RTINGS seeing it avoid pet waste very well while TechRadar's unit kept hitting fake mess until Pet mode was on. RTINGS tested the X50 Ultra, the same robot with fewer spare parts.

X60 Pro Ultra Complete

T3 gave it full marks after dried sauce came off in one pass, and TechRadar lived with it for six weeks and was struck by how far the mop arm reached along skirting boards. The lab was far cooler. Les Numériques measured 98% pickup on hard floor but only 44–45% on long-pile carpet, and found cleaning along walls so weak it wondered whether the robot had been there. It also kept about 20cm from obstacles, leaving patches, while TechRadar saw it run over a small bottle and a lighter.

Where they differ

  1. 01

    Climbing: 10cm against 6cm

    Dreame rates the X60 Pro for two-step thresholds up to 10cm and the X50 for 6cm in total over two rises. Neither figure is one vertical step. Les Numériques said the X60 Pro climbed its test step without trouble, though it didn't give the height, and Tech Advisor saw the X50 clear a bedroom threshold that had beaten other robots. If your thresholds are within the X50's 6cm, this gap doesn't matter to you.

    X50 Ultra Complete6cm

    Edge reach: a longer arm, disputed results

    The X60 Pro pushes a mop up to 18cm out and its side brush up to 12cm; the X50's mop extends up to 4cm. TechRadar and T3 loved the reach along skirting boards and round chair legs, but Les Numériques found wall edges so weak it wondered whether the robot had been there. TechRadar also praised the X50's extending mop along skirting boards. Don't pay extra for edges alone.

    Same height under furniture

    Both drop their laser towers to stand 8.9cm tall. TechRadar and Tech Advisor both got the X50 under their sofas. The X60 Pro was fussier: TechRadar's unit treated a fabric sofa valance as a wall until it was tucked up. Measure the gap, and check for hanging fabric as well as height.

  4. 04

    Upkeep and app: the X50 is easier

    TechRadar found the X50 fantastically low-maintenance and its app easy to use. The X60 Pro asks more of you: Les Numériques had a filter that clogged quickly and hair wrapped round the brushes, TechRadar had one bin that wouldn't empty, and both TechRadar and T3 found the app hard going at times. The X60 Pro's dock is shorter, though: Dreame lists it at 49.9cm tall, against the 59cm both X50 reviewers measured.

  5. 05

    Price: the X60 Pro costs a lot more

    The X60 Pro is the newer flagship and costs a lot more than the X50; compare today's prices here. For the extra you get the taller climb, the longer arm and a much bigger suction claim, 42,000Pa against 20,000Pa. The tests don't show that suction gap on thick rugs: Les Numériques still found it weak on long-pile carpet, which is the X50's weaker side too.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between the Dreame X50 and X60?

In the UK and Europe the X60 is sold as the X60 Pro Ultra Complete. Against the X50 it climbs taller two-step thresholds, 10cm against 6cm by Dreame's figures, reaches further along edges with an 18cm mop arm and claims about twice the suction. Both are 8.9cm tall with the tower lowered.

Is the X60 Pro worth upgrading to from the X50?

Only if your thresholds are too tall for the X50. The longer arm impressed TechRadar and T3, but Les Numériques found edges weak, and the X60 Pro brought more upkeep and a harder app. If the X50 already reaches every room, keep it.

Is the X60 Pro the same as the X60 Max Ultra Complete?

No. TechRadar notes Dreame sells the X60 Max Ultra Complete in the US, with lower claimed suction, while the Pro is sold in the UK and Europe. This page covers the Pro, and none of its test results come from the Max.

Which is better on carpet?

Neither is a carpet specialist. Les Numériques measured 91% pickup on low carpet for the X60 Pro but only 44–45% on long pile. Everyone who tested the X50 found carpet its weaker side, and RTINGS found it couldn't lift deeply embedded pet hair.
