Dreame - L50 Pro Ultra

I hope you are right about Dreame as I just got L50 pro Ultra. After almost 10 years with Roomba 980 my biggest fear is that these tech filled toys cant live half of that

Dreame X50 Ultra vs. L50 Pro Ultra – simplified • Climbing Ability • X50 Ultra: Up to 2.4” (with retractable legs) • L50 Pro Ultra: Up to 1.6”, no legs • Navigation & Sensors • X50 Ultra: Dual laser + 3D structured light, superior obstacle detection • L50 Pro Ultra: Single LiDAR sensor, solid but less advanced • Suction Power • X50 Ultra: 20,000 Pa • L50 Pro Ultra: 19,000 Pa • Mopping System • Both: Smart mopping with mop lifting, auto washing, drying, and water refill • Docking Features • Both: Auto dustbin emptying, hot water mop cleaning, hot air drying • Smart Features • X50 Ultra: Matter support, built-in voice control, pet camera, more automation • L50 Pro Ultra: Strong app control, fewer smart home integrations • Price Point • X50 Ultra: 1,099 (instore deal) • L50 Pro Ultra: pending US release price • Summary • X50 Ultra: Best choice for max tech, cleaning power, and automation • L50 Pro Ultra: Great value with excellent performance and core features honestly, with the sale going on the X 50 would be a better choice for a longevity and the ability to climb if necessary

I think that the Mova P30 Ultra (P50 in china) is coming to the global market soon but there will be some differences as you can see from my spreadsheet

Hi, thank you for reaching out to me, as you can see from the table the L50 Pro Ultra is a way better choice than the X40 Pro Ultra for just 100€ more. "available as built-in hook-up" means that the robot is available in a master version (see Dreame X40 Master) which means that the robot is available in a configuration without the water tanks (different base, very slim) so it must be connected to the water hookup of your home in order to work. It is still possible to connect the L50 Pro Ultra to the water lines but it is still going to have the same tall base, but if that it's not a problem for you I would definitely take the L50

If mopping is really important "urgent" then definitly the new Dreame Mova Z50 Ultra (mops 2-3 times better than any spinning mop pads). if mopping isn't really important (the robot won't remove stains) than Dreame robots with good self cleaning (they have AceClean 3°generation self-cleaning with reduced maintenance) are: \-Dreame X50 Ultra (expensive) \-Dreame L50 Pro Ultra \-Dreame L40s Pro Ultra \-Dreame L40s Ultra (coming 2025) \-Dreame Mova V50 Ultra (expensive) \-Dreame Mova P50 Pro Ultra \-Dreame Mova P50 Ultra (bad obstacle avoidance) In this case I would probably take the L50 Pro Ultra but it may be to expensive too so the P50 Pro Ultra could be a cheaper good solution. In any case remember to only buy from Amazon to avoid troubles

The dreame X/L50 ultra’s edge cleaning algorithm is more aggressive and can get into corners and edges better than the roborock qrevo models with an extending side brush and mop but the dreame can ride up against floor moldings if there are any when the mop is extended whereas the roborock qrevo models will not.

I like how Jamie Andrews tests aspects that are advertised for quality of life (self cleaning the dock and using hot water) whereas vacuumwars simply rattles them off like a sales brief checklist. I can confirm Dreame does reach the advertised hot water temperature listed (I tested myself with an electric thermometer connected to the area on the washboard where the water would flow from the pipes) and it usually hovers at about 5-10°C below the advertised temperature before reaching it for a second or two. Don’t know about the new AceClean dock as I don’t have it but Dreame told me any misplacement of the temperature probes will result in measuring errors of more than 10°C.

How tall is the piece of transition? For a single one up to 30mm, the roborock models with the AdaptiLift chassis (the most expensive QRevo Curv/Edge and the Saros line). Anything higher up to 4.2cm, if a threshold is less than 9cm long (5.2cm if it is at least 9cm long), will need the Dreame X50 Ultra or any equivalent MOVA model (V50 Ultra). I am aware that Dreame's L/X50 Ultra and any model (such as MOVA's V50 Ultra or the rare UK-only Dreame L40s Pro Ultra) that uses dual conical brushes has a *live fur compression* feature (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOOU0uJsVdU), which helps mitigate the issue of pet fur clogging the dustbin, even though the space isn't fully utilized. I saw it in action, and I think it lives up to its claim. It also cleans its filter when auto-emptying. This should be helpful for homes with heavy shedders such as yours\~ For paw prints, I think a robot that can identify messes like this and act accordingly would be important too. Dreame and Narwal do well with this if you turn on certain functions, such as their smart cleaning mode and intelligent mess detection.

After daily vacuuming then mopping, my hardwood floors became notably softer and had a shine. I’d recommend robots with roller mops or spinning mops. For roller mop robots, I’d recommend the eufy S1 (Pro), eufy E25/E28, MOVA Z50 Ultra, and the Narwal Flow. All of these robots except for the eufy E25/E28 will have good obstacle avoidance. For spinning mop robots, I’d recommend dreame/MOVA robots with the AceClean/jetspray dryboard, the Narwal Freo line with an all in one base station, the roborock qrevo line. If obstacle avoidance is important, I’d consider the Dreame L40S Pro Ultra, L/X50 Ultra and the Narwal Z/Z10 Ultra.

Bigger dustbin + good use of dustbin when it comes to fur (no empty space should be in the dustbin when fur clogs it) + frequent autoemptying = better for dealing with hair and fur. For a vacuum only model, the roborock Q5 Max+ and the Q8 Max+ have a sizeable dustbin and uses the dustbin space well and has an autoempty station. The dual rollers help with fur pickup. In the US Dreame’s L/X50 Ultra fulfills these requirements as a combo model. So does the MOVA V50 Ultra for Canadian customers. The QRevo series has the same issue with some dreame models where the dustbin will be clogged with fur but there’ll be a lot of empty space on the sides. It’ll be good for picking up fur on carpets with its dual brushes but I think the eufy X8 should be better for dealing with finer dust.

For a smart combo: Dreame’s L40S Pro Ultra won’t have great battery life (a reviewer found a rate of 3% per square meter) as it uses the same power hungry computer chip as the X50 ultra but the self cleaning capabilities it has (cleaning the dustbin’s filter which most other robots can’t do, and a much better self cleaning mop washboard) with the fur compression feature it has when it vacuums which is great for heavy shedders means it’s worth the tradeoff. If you want better battery life with the same features, the L50 Pro Ultra has a 6400 mah battery like the X50 Ultra. The obstacle avoidance on these two models and the X50 should be the same as the X40 ultra now since it’s pretty mature. For a budget choice, I’d look at Xiaomi’s X20 Pro or the X20 Max. They won’t have as good obstacle avoidance as it only uses structured light but the prices (£399 and £499 respectively) can’t be beat for its quality.

1. Anything that moves can break. So I suggest buying from a retailer with a good return policy + a good protection plan. 2. For base station cleaning: Dreame (some models), eufy, Narwal, roborock, and Xiaomi have completely removable mop washboards. I’m not a fan of the wiper driven mop washboards on the Dreame X/L30 and X/L40 ultra and the MOVA P10 Ultra/Pro Ultra simply because there’s too many nook and crannies to clean. However their new aceclean dryboard on the L/V/X50 Ultra and newer is much easier to clean even when only the filter is removable since there’s no nooks and crannies for dirt to hide in and dirt only really collects under the removable filter which is easily removed with a wet wipe or a Clorox wipe. I’d avoid bagless base stations. Spinning mop combo robots are less maintenance than roller mop robots.

1. It really depends on your purchasing region. Costco is a popular choice given its generous return policy but choices are rather limited compared to buying from Amazon which has an easy return policy within 30 days. For other purchasing regions, buying from a reputable retailer with a good return policy and an optional protection plan would be good. In Australia, I heard Harvey Norman is nicer with returns compared to JB HIFI. 2. The robots with the best self cleaning will be Dreame’s L/X50 Ultra/L40S Ultra/Pro Ultra and MOVA’s V50 Ultra P50S Ultra > MOVA’s P50 Ultra/ Pro Ultra > Roborock’s models that have spinning mops with the Multifunctional Dock 3.0 (roborock models with a vibrating mop have a washboard that is more difficult to clean as you can’t remove it) ≈ Narwal Freo models (completely detachable base) > Dreame’s models with the mop-driven wiper mop washboard (cleaning the wiper washboard is rather difficult since there’s too many nooks and crannies and you’d still have to get down to clean the areas the wipers can’t reach) > other combo robots with an all in one base station As for combo robots with roller mops and have an all in one base station, the washboard is generally flat with a few grooves so it’s pretty easy to clean. I believe most of their washboards are removable. However, it’ll require more cleaning in the mop compartment and dirty water tank. Most roller mop models have an annoying cylindrical component which drives the roller mop like an upright wet dry vacuum but you can’t remove or move it to give it a deeper clean even if gunk is stuck on it. The only combos that are close to the level of self cleaning for spinning mop models are Dreame’s Aqua 10 Pro track, the MOVA Z50 Ultra, and the Narwal Flow since both have self-cleaning mechanisms that are made to also clean the dirty water tank and the mop compartment while also having a very easy to clean mop compartment since the thing that moves the mops is also completely removable. If you want to support a US startup, you could look at the Matic since it’s a vacuum and mop robot but taking care of it looks rather easy since it lacks a base station. The maintenance involved is replacing the bag, refilling the water with a cleaning solution of choice, occasionally cleaning the roller mop, the roller mop filter, cleaning the brush roller and de clogging the mop tubes if needed.

Hi ask in r/robotvacuums for less biased responses. I found that the dreame and MOVA models with the dual conical anti tangle rollers will be best for heavy shedding pets as it has the live fur compression feature that compresses fur in the dustbin as it vacuums which means it won’t get clogged up with fur in both the brush compartment and the dustbin nearly as quickly and can use the dustbin space more effectively. Models with this feature are the dreame L40S Pro Ultra, L40S Ultra, X/L50 Ultra and the MOVA V50 Ultra.

The dreame X50 ultra, L50 Ultra (not the L50 Pro ultra), MOVA V50 ultra, and the MOVA P50S Ultra (not the P50 Pro ultra) should definitely cross this with no issues. Most dreame/MOVA robots, even without special threshold crossing abilities, have pretty good threshold crossing abilities. You could also look at the Dreame L40S Ultra/Pro Ultra or the L50 Pro Ultra with the EasyLeap additional pair of wheels that are made to climb thresholds like this (they’re shaped like a windmill or shuriken to better grip onto ledges). The roborock models with the Adaptlift feature should be able to cross this just fine. Other robots can cross a threshold of 2cm with no issues but that assumes the thresholds are smooth with no grooves. No clue about them crossing this kind of threshold though.

For combos, I’d also look at these models: Dreame’s and MOVA’s robots with the dual antitangle brush system has a rather sizable dustbin at 395mL with the ability to compress the fur in the dustbin as it vacuums. This means that the dustbin will be able to handle more fur and won’t get clogged as easily. I believe most qrevo models (and some older dreame models) have an issue where the dustbin can be clogged with fur but there’ll be empty space on the sides. DREAME Robots with this: L40S Ultra/Pro Ultra, L/X50 Ultra, Aqua 10 Pro Track MOVA robots with this: V50 Ultra and the P50S Ultra (smaller height at 82.5mm means dustbin is reduced to 300mL). The RGB camera enabled robots can detect cat litter and appropriately increase suction, slow down, and stop the side brush to avoid scattering it.

As far as I know, only the Dreame Aqua 10 pro track, x50 ultra, l50 ultra (not the l50 pro ultra, confusing I know), the MOVA V50 Ultra and the P50S pro ultra can climb a single threshold up to 4.2cm unassisted with a second threshold up to 1.8cm.

For less maintenance, the dreame x50/l50/l40s pro ultra are the best self-cleaning robots (cleans its own filter when autoemptying and the best self-cleaning mop washboard). The dustbin is also easy to clean. If there are no thresholds, get the cheaper L50 Ultra or the L40s Pro Ultra (but it has a smaller battery). > If it has the option to plumb in to water/waste, that's a bonus All the dreame ones have easily accessible plumbing kits since the base station design is mostly the same. Roborock ones don't. If you want it to clean upstairs, you can get the robot just to clean up there and it can autoempty when you bring it back down to charge.

I have dreame made robots for Xiaomi and I tried the L40S Pro Ultra made for mainland china way before it was released then returned it because I didn’t want like how the onboard voice assistant couldn’t recognize what we were saying (this is for Cantonese and what they advertised would work well so the voice assistants for other languages may be better or worse). They’ve all been solidly built. The map it made was very good compared to my structured light only Xiaomi. My current Xiaomi, has been working without any flaws till now where it seems the mopping motors want to give up at 830+ hours. The vacuuming is still running like it’s brand new. It runs twice a day and I’ve only had to make a new map once every few months. As for battery life, yes I think it’s an issue. It had the same battery capacity as my Xiaomi (5200mah for the l40s pro ultra and the Xiaomi) yet needed more charging breaks when running the vacuuming first before mopping mode (my Xiaomi never needed a single charging break) probably because I ran it on CleanGenius on the deep+ cleaning mode. If you work from home and aren’t expecting guests to come quickly, I think letting it do its thing is best. The x50 has a 6400mah battery which may be better for battery life The self cleaning at the filter and the mop washboard were a huge upgrade though. My Xiaomi’s filter (same as the x40 ultra) would be pretty clogged with fine dust and lil dust bunnies that would make it right into the pleats and could never be cleared with autoemptying so I would have to tap the dust out at the end of every day. The dreame l40s pro ultra did much better taking care of this.

Since there are no thresholds, the L50 pro ultra is also worth it. I used to refer to the L50 Pro Ultra as the l50 ultra for my convenience but I forgot about the L50 ultra which is better for homes with thresholds. Both L50 models have the same battery capacity (6400mAh) as the X50 ultra so the battery drain issue isn’t nearly as bad as it was on my dreame l40s pro ultra.

Dreame: L40s Ultra/Pro Ultra, L50 Pro Ultra, L50 Ultra, X50 Pro Ultra/Master, Matrix 10, Aqua 10 Roller/Ultra Roller/Pro Track/Ultra Track, and the D20 Pro Plus

For Dreame, the **hair compression system** (compacts pet hair in the dustbin so it doesn’t clog as fast) is on the **L40s Pro Ultra** and **X50 Ultra** — not on the base L40 or earlier models. On the Mova side, the **P50 Pro Ultra** doesn’t list it, while the **V50 Ultra** does mention pet-focused features but no true “compression” tech like Dreame’s. As for **Pet Care 4.0**, that’s mainly Dreame marketing language tied to the X50 Ultra in the US. It basically means: stronger suction, optimized brushes for hair pickup, and software tweaks for detecting messy spots. In Europe the same hardware is there, it’s just not always labeled the same way. 👉 With 3 cats + a dog + rugs, you’ll want either the **L40s Pro Ultra** (dual brushes + compression bin) or the **X50 Ultra** (more suction, longer runtime, Pet Care 4.0). Between those, the X50 is the most “pet-friendly” if budget allows.

Yeah, the naming makes it **messy**. The US site bundles “Pet Care 4.0” into both the X50 and the standard L40 Ultra, but in practice it’s the same hardware/software suite that the L40s Pro Ultra has too. Dreame doesn’t always label it consistently across regions, but the “S Pro” version is basically the more pet-focused upgrade (dual brushes + compression bin + higher suction). So if you’re in Europe and looking at the L40s Pro Ultra, you can treat it as having the same Pet Care 4.0 features even if the local page doesn’t spell it out.

Pretty much, yes — the L50 Pro Ultra carries over the same pet-friendly features from the L40s Pro Ultra (dual brushes, hair compression bin, higher suction) but adds the retractable lidar for lower clearance. It also brings a bigger battery and slightly more suction headroom. So if you’ve already narrowed to the “S Pro” line, the L50 is the natural next step up. The jump isn’t massive, but if clearance or runtime matters in your place, it’s the one to go for.

Good points above 👆 — just to clarify: * **Hair Compression Bin** → available on L40s Pro Ultra, L50 Pro Ultra, and X50 Ultra. Helps keep pet hair from fluffing up and filling the bin too fast. * **Pet Care 4.0** → officially only marketed on X50 Ultra in Europe, but the L50 Pro Ultra has the same core features (dual brushes, anti-tangle logic, and pet hair focus). It’s more about regional naming than missing features. * **Mova V50 Ultra** → does bring extras like dustbin drying and DuoSolution tank, but Dreame firmware/pet-specific tweaks are usually a bit more refined. Since clearance is your #1 factor, **L50 Pro Ultra** ticks that box with retractable lidar and still gives you the hair compression + pet care package. The X50 Ultra only makes sense if you want the “maxed-out” AI suite and extra suction headroom.

If retractable lidar is a must for your setup, you’ve already narrowed it down pretty well. * **L50 Pro Ultra** → basically the L40s Pro Ultra with the retractable lidar + bigger battery. Solid if you want a safe bet and lower profile. * **X50 Ultra** → more suction, longer runtime, and extra AI features (plus the Pet Care 4.0 marketing push). It’s the “flagship” feel if you want the top end. * **Mova V50 Ultra** → good spec sheet, but Dreame usually has the stronger support ecosystem and more polished firmware. Since threshold climbing/battery life aren’t deal-breakers for you, the choice is really: do you want “safe and proven” (L50 Pro Ultra) or “flagship extras” (X50 Ultra)? For most homes like yours, the L50 should be plenty. Check out our [robot comparison page](https://tin.al/compare)

L50 Pro Ultra for sure. It's currently VacuumWars top rated robot.

Dreame l50 pro ultra...I've been using it for more than a month and, for now, it's the bomb...it has everything you're looking for

Hey thanks for this. I just picked up a L50 Pro Ultra. Any tips for a new user / set up?

Thanks. Went for the Dreame L50 Pro Ultra - love it.

Yes, our Dreame50 will climb over the base of a baby gate and is one of the reasons we got this model

For crevices, you need a robot with a bristle main brush. Dreame L series and Mova usually use rubber brushes, which, according to reviewers on YT, don't pick up dust in crevices well unlike bristle ones. Some Roborock model like Q5 Pro, Q8 Max, Qrevo S, and QV35A/S also uses a similar brush. I think if you don't mind with prices, E28 or E25 is a good candidate because its roller mop is superior. Roborock also has a new lineup called S5A which is the cheaper version of Qrevo Edge. Now it's $899 on Amazon. S5A uses a similar Duo Divide split brush as in Qrevo Edge and Eufy E28, a self-empty station, and obstacle avoidance but only using structured light without a live camera.

The most effective anti-tangle for robot vacuum now is the conical brush, currently only available in Dreame, Mova, and Narwhal. I would recommend you Dreame or Mova because they use dual contra-rotating conical brushes (similar principle to iRobot Roomba AeroForce), which are known for better carpet agitation. Also, Dreame/Mova obstacle detection and avoidance is much refined than Roborock. Or you could try Matic, which has better camera resolution and a stronger AI model than any current smart robot vacuum on the market. But Matic is very tall and bulky so it won't be able to go under your low furniture. Btw, Mova is Dreame's sub-brand selling a cheaper and competitive version of Dreame's expensive lineup.

YES. It is most definitely that bad. It’s bad on hard floors but god forbid you run it on a carpet. I have a video of it just plowing through fake dog poop on carpets. Edit: I have owned both the roomba j series and dreame l series, and both are so so much better.

I tested the roomba j series and the l series from dreame and both perfectly did the test

I tested the roomba j series and the l series from dreame and both perfectly did the test

Because both my Dreame L series and Roomba J series did the same test flawlessly

Got the dream a few weeks ago. It's a game changer. I had a Neato and a few iRobots over the years. With those units, I spent more time pulling out dog hair and untangling rollers than actually using the product. This is a lot more advanced, and with the self emptying, it's pretty great. All I do now is swap out the water tanks every day. Gripes? The mop pad on the base station gets hairy. It has difficulty getting dirt between the edge of the rug and the hardwood floors. It's expensive. All in all, it's a nice machine.

I've got a dreamtech which has self cleaning mops and it does pretty good. I've also got 2 kids and toys all over the floor and it barely gets stuck.

The Dreame robot mop system is our favorite new roommate! We have a new and an older iRobot Roomba vacuums and recently got this one for the main floor. We're very happy with it. It's available in many different price ranges.
