The world of robot vacuum cleaners is on the brink of an exciting new era. Over the years, we’ve seen these gadgets evolve through various stages, from self-emptying bases to homes equipped with tanks, extendable brushes, and mops. Now, in 2025, we’re about to welcome the latest innovation: a water connection for easy loading and unloading. The first product to showcase this technology is the Dreame X50 Master, a cutting-edge robot vacuum and floor cleaner designed to push the boundaries of what traditional models can do, making home cleaning genuinely hands-free. While it boasts many impressive features, the auto refill might not be the most jaw-dropping. What really stands out is its ability to navigate obstacles up to 6 cm high—a groundbreaking capability for a device in this category. We’re clearly discussing a top-tier product here—it’s the best we’ve ever reviewed! This robot boasts an incredible suction power of 20,000 Pa, along with an adaptive cleaning system that features an extendable arm. Plus, it comes with a sleek base station that can fit right into your furniture and a cutting-edge navigation and object recognition system. Now, let’s dive deeper into what really sets this robot apart! Dreame X50 Master Review
DESIGN AND BASE STATION.
One of the standout features of the Dreame X50 Master is its ultra-compact base station, which stands at just 24.9 cm tall. What sets it apart from many other robot vacuum cleaners is its ability to blend seamlessly into your furniture—like tucking it away under a sink—helping you make the most of your space at home. With a width of 41.5 cm, you can easily position the charging station at the base of any furniture that’s 50 or 60 cm wide, allowing for a neat and tidy look with those small side panels.
Dreame’s website showcases some incredibly sleek solutions that are not only visually appealing but also seamlessly integrated. However, I have my doubts about how easy it is to achieve such a flawless installation in Italy without having a custom-made piece of furniture. Most of the components that make up bathrooms or kitchens typically come in sizes of 40, 50, or 60 cm, so a little adjustment is usually necessary. On another note, we should definitely keep in mind the option of free installation, like I experienced in the bathroom for my review. One of the standout features of this device is its connection to the home’s plumbing system, which enables automatic filling and emptying of the water tank. This means users can say goodbye to the hassle of refilling water or emptying the dirty tank—the robot takes care of everything on its own, just like a washing machine or dishwasher would.
The installation part had me a bit anxious: I’m pretty handy with various household chores, but when it comes to water and pipes, things can get a lot trickier. Thankfully, Dreame has made it super easy to connect the hoses to the robot. They even include everything you need to hook it up to a sink—whether it’s in the bathroom, kitchen, or even your washing machine. All you have to do is turn off the water in your home, attach the adapter to your system, and run the drain pipe from the base to a drain that works for you. During my test, I intentionally didn’t set the drain pipe in place permanently. I wanted to keep an eye on how much water was emptied with each wash, plus I know this Dreame X50 Master won’t be sticking around with me for long (sadly, the company will want it back…). Now, back at the base, if you open the door on the upper part, you’ll find the dirt bag, which can last anywhere from one to three months, depending on the size of your home. There’s also a container for the detergent. They include a Dreame bottle in the package, but feel free to fill it with your favorite non-soapy product! SUCTION
POWER AND SMART CLEANING
If you’re looking for a smart cleaning companion, the Dreame X50 Master is a game changer. This advanced robot doesn’t just vacuum; it also washes your floors! With its user-friendly app, you can customize a ton of settings, allowing the robot to tackle any cleaning job you throw at it—whether it’s specific rooms, areas, or even different floors. And with a powerful suction of 20,000 Pa, it boasts the highest strength ever seen in a robot vacuum cleaner. This means it can:
- Effortlessly pick up dirt, from crumbs to fine dust and pet hair
- Deep clean carpets and rugs by automatically adjusting its power
- Capture debris without sending it flying into the air, thanks to its top-notch filtration system
But that’s not all! The MopExtend RoboSwing technology takes cleaning to the next level, letting the robot reach tricky spots like corners and the edges of furniture or under the sofa. The mop extends and adapts to whatever surface it’s cleaning, ensuring no spot is left untouched.
In my tests, the X50 Master didn’t just clean well; it impressed me with its smart features. Even when I set it to wash and vacuum at the same time, it knew to raise the mops and boost the suction power when it detected a particularly messy area—like when I spilled flour on the floor. It carefully vacuumed up the mess without spreading it around, and only then did it wash the area.
This robot operates completely on its own, intelligently adjusting its cleaning path and methods based on the ever-changing environment.
During my “classic” flour test, it not only vacuumed and washed flawlessly, but it also left no residue between the tile joints, proving just how powerful the suction really is!
