Dreame X50 Ultra Robot Vacuum
With so many Smart Vacuums/mop combos on the market, the reason the Dreame X50 Ultra Robot Vacuum makes our list is because of its truly innovative features. While many smart vacuums can navigate uneven surfaces quite well, Dreame has raised the bar by including retractable gliding legs that allow for up to 2.36 inches of clearance. When not needed, the legs tuck under the unit, providing a mere 3.5-inch height, allowing the X50 Ultra to clean under hard-to-reach surfaces.
The X50 Ultra takes it a step further by offering 20,000Pa of vortex suction to ensure that no spec of dirt is left behind. Finally, the extended brushes and mop heads ensure that every surface is left clean and ready for the next day. The Dreame X50 Ultra is a powerful smart vacuum/mop combo ready to tackle the toughest floors in your home.
- Cross Thresholds and Barriers: X50 Ultra utilizes robotic retractable legs to conquer door tracks, thresholds, and obstacles up to 2.36 in. It uses shocker absorbers and other innovations to minimize impact and noise to delivery a quieter cleaning experience.
