Dreame has quickly become a powerhouse robot vacuum brand. Within a few years, Dreame robot vacuums went from being an underdog to a brand you cannot go wrong with. But has the company hit the heights again with its latest flagship, the Dreame X50 Ultra

One of the best things about the Dreame X50 Ultra is its price. Its predecessor launched at a whopping $1,900, but the X50 Ultra is now available for $1,360, which is 20% lower than its $1,700 list price.
Letting the Dreame X50 Ultra map your home is also easy, as this is one of the most intelligent robot vacuums ever. It only took my X50 Ultra a few minutes to navigate my home and create an editable map in the Dreame Home app.

The robot can recognize up to 200 objects to determine which ones to avoid, including socks, tissues, pet waste, and cords. Dreame uses artificial intelligence for visual recognition, which enables the robot to determine whether there are curtains it should avoid or dirty floors it should scrub harder.
The X50 Ultra robot vacuum also has a 360-degree scanning sensor that knows what things are near without the robot spinning around.
Dreame gave the X50 Ultra a voice assistant that responds to “Okay, Dreame,” and I have to say this is one of the best upgrades from the past flagship. Although you can always touch the power control on the robot or use the Dreame app to start cleaning, having the voice assistant has been perfect for running the vacuum quickly when I am cleaning something else. I can say, “Okay, Dreame, start cleaning,” when I walk by, even if I am busy elsewhere, and the robot starts.
Unfortunately, the Dreame X50 Ultra can leave streaks when mopping.

I may have to play around with the settings, as, thankfully, you can adjust the moisture level for mopping and how often the robot returns to the dock to wash its mops.
