Dreame X50 Pro Ultra Review: The Robot Vacuum That Climbs 6cm Ledges

Why We’re Reviewing This

The robot vacuum market in Singapore has exploded, and Dreame’s X50 Pro Ultra represents the absolute cutting edge. At over $1,500, this is a serious investment — so we put it through its paces to determine if it truly delivers on its ambitious promises.

What Makes It Stand Out

The headline feature is the ProLeap 6cm obstacle climbing — a genuine industry first. Where other robot vacuums get stuck on door thresholds, carpet edges, or bathroom lips, the X50 Pro Ultra simply drives over them. For Singapore’s HDB and condo layouts, where room transitions often involve small ledges, this is genuinely transformative.

Under the hood, the 30,000Pa Vormax suction is among the most powerful we’ve tested. Combined with the HyperStream detangling DuoBrush system, it handles pet hair, dust, and debris across both hard floors and carpet with minimal maintenance.

The Self-Cleaning Station

The ThermoHub base station uses 100°C hot water to wash the mop pads, effectively sterilising them between cleaning sessions. In Singapore’s humid climate, where mildew and bacteria thrive, this is a critical feature that most competitors lack.

The station also handles automatic dust emptying, water refilling and draining — meaning you can genuinely set this up and forget about it for weeks at a time.

Smart Home Integration

Dreame has embraced the Matter protocol, making this one of the few robot vacuums that integrates seamlessly with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa without relying solely on a proprietary app. The AI-powered mapping is precise, and the pet-friendly Care 4.0 mode adjusts cleaning intensity around your furry companions.

The Verdict

The Dreame X50 Pro Ultra isn’t just an incremental upgrade — it represents a genuine leap forward in autonomous home cleaning. The 6cm climbing capability alone solves a problem that has plagued robot vacuums for years, and the self-cleaning hot water system is ideal for Singapore’s climate.

At this price point, it’s a premium investment. But for those who value their time and want a robot vacuum that genuinely handles an entire home without intervention, this is the one to buy. The 4.8-star rating from over 1,200 buyers on Shopee speaks for itself.
