5.0 out of 5 stars This machine is impressive!

V. · September 2, 2025

I have been an owner/user of robot vacs for years. I have a large house and usually have two robots in action each day. I have been a long time fan of Roombas in the past but this new Dreame L50 Ultra machine blows everything away that I have owned and tried. I mentioned that I have a large house. My house also has a lot of furniture, obstacles, and pets. Some of the obstacles are in hallways and there are lots of chairs like bar stools, and dining room chairs. I was skeptical that the Dreame L50 would be able to do a decent job but decided to give it a try. Wow! Call me impressed. I received it last night, downloaded the app, got it connected, filled with water and cleaner, and let it charge. Using the app, I set a schedule to run every night (after we go to bed). The robot successfully mapped AND cleaned (mopping and vacuuming) the entire floor space that it could reach on the first go. The "Clean genius" (Dreame's AI) was awesome, sensing dirty high traffic areas and applying the proper cleaning methods to make everything spotless. When we got up in the morning and inspected the floors, my wife commented that the floors were sparkling clean (and she is not easily impressed).Setup of the machine and equipment was extremely easy and fast. I had the entire thing unboxed, on the base, filled with water and cleaner, and connected to the app in about 30 minutes. I found the app easy to navigate and understand and extremely responsive. Every time I made a choice in the app, the robot almost instantly gave an audible response confirming the choice. This was also true during connection to the wifi through the app as well. The app walks you through the connection process and it worked flawlessly with no ambiguity or guess work. It also connected almost instantly. The clean and dirty water reservoirs are super easy to access and fill/empty as well. Cleanser filling was equally easy. This machine was extremely well designed and engineered (I am an aerospace engineer btw). Everything went together smoothly and I did not have a single issue with any part of the setup. Simply awesome. When I emptied the dirty water the next day I was surprised at how dirty the water was. We have the vac set up to vacuum and mop every day and will keep it that way until we start getting mostly clean waste water. At that point we plan to decrease the mopping frequency. I can't say enough about how well this machine works. Well worth the (admittedly) high price we paid. The Dreame L50 ultra has my highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A robot that finally feels like the future. No babysitting needed

R.R. · October 10, 2025

I’ve owned robot vacuums for over a decade, mostly iRobot models and more recently the ECOVACS T50 MAX PRO Omni. I thought I’d seen the best the market had to offer, until I tried the Dreame L50 Ultra.The difference is unbelievable.My iRobots worked okay but needed constant attention, emptying the “self-empty” bag, logging into the app all the time, tangled brushes, poor mapping, frequent cleaning. The ECOVACS was even worse, random shutdowns, wiped maps, constant “maintenance required” messages, and frustration from day one. It even acted like it had tantrums, it would just shut down and refuse to move until I carried it back to the base. At least the iRobot would let me restart it remotely and send it home, better than nothing.Then I switched to the Dreame L50 Ultra and honestly, no words. It’s the first robot vacuum that feels genuinely autonomous. It mapped my home perfectly, cleans methodically, and even maintains itself. No tangled hairs, no manual rescues, no “I’m shutting down for no reason.” The only time I had to help it was when my dog blocked it, and it actually stopped and respected the pet. The regular maintenance is minimal, refill the water once a week, do a quick cleaning once in a while and that’s it. The rest it just handles by itself without drama.The suction power, mopping efficiency and obstacle avoidance are all excellent. The only weak spot is the app, it works but could use a bit more polish, but the robot itself is so well built it makes up for everything.After 10 years of using iRobot and ECOVACS, the Dreame L50 Ultra is the first one that truly delivers what others only promise. If you want a robot that actually acts like one, reliable, low maintenance and smart, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, Powerful, and Truly Hands-Free!

j. · October 9, 2025

I’ve been using the L50 Ultra robot vacuum for a week now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best home cleaning devices I’ve ever owned. From the moment I set it up, I was impressed by how effortlessly it navigates my home. It crosses door thresholds and small steps without getting stuck, thanks to its retractable legs that lift up to 6cm. This feature alone solved a major issue I had with previous vacuums.The smart navigation system is incredibly accurate. It detects and avoids obstacles like shoes, cables, and furniture with ease. I’ve watched it maneuver around cluttered areas without bumping into anything, which is a huge improvement over other models I’ve tried. The AI and 3D structured light really make a difference.Hair removal is another area where this vacuum shines. With pets and long hair in the house, tangles used to be a constant problem. The HyperStream Detangling DuoBrush works wonders—it picks up hair from both hard floors and carpets without getting clogged, keeping the suction strong and consistent.Despite its powerful 19,500Pa suction, the L50 Ultra is surprisingly quiet. I can run it while working or relaxing without being disturbed. It picks up everything from fine dust to larger debris, even from deep within carpet fibers.Cleaning corners and under furniture is no longer a challenge. The Dual Flex Arm technology allows the vacuum to reach tight spots and low-profile areas that other vacuums miss. My home has never felt this clean.The PowerDock is a game-changer. It empties the dustbin, washes and dries the mop pads, refills water and solution, and even cleans itself. I haven’t had to touch the vacuum in days—it truly offers a hands-free cleaning experience.I also appreciate the customizable carpet cleaning options in the Dreamehome app. Whether I want to avoid carpets, boost suction, or double-clean, I can tailor the settings to suit different areas of my home.

Truly Hands-Free Cleaning with Powerful Suction

B. · August 27, 2025

I’ve had the DREAME L50 Ultra for about a month now and I’m really impressed. The suction power is excellent—definitely stronger than my old robot vacuum—and it actually picks up pet hair and small debris from both carpet and hardwood floors. The DuoBrush design really helps prevent tangling, which used to be a big issue for me.The mopping function is also very effective. I like that it cleans and dries the mop automatically, so I don’t have to touch dirty pads. The auto-empty feature is another time saver—the dustbin really does last a couple of weeks before I need to change the bag.Navigation is precise. It avoids toys and chair legs without bumping into things, and the mapping was quick and accurate. The app is easy to use, and I can set no-go zones or schedule cleanings without hassle.Overall, this feels like a premium robot vacuum. It’s not cheap, but if you want something that truly minimizes manual work, it’s worth the investment.

Wow

Very good product.

Quick take: This is a premium vac-mop that actually cleans well and needs very little babysitting. It shines on hard floors and low to medium pile carpet. Price is high and battery efficiency could be better, but the overall experience feels genuinely hands off.My home and setupTwo-bedroom space with hardwood and a couple of low pile rugs, plus a shedding pet. I mapped once, divided rooms, set no-go and no-mop zones, then scheduled daily runs. I use standard suction and medium water for routine cleans, high suction for sandier spots.Build and navigationLidar mapping is quick and accurate. Obstacle avoidance is reliable enough that I do not pre-clean cables or shoes anymore. The robot keeps a straight path, returns to missed areas, and edges along baseboards without slamming into furniture.Thresholds and room transitionsThe climbing mechanism gets over door tracks that stop many bots. In practice that means fewer stuck alerts and fewer half-finished runs. It also lifts the mop pads when it rolls onto carpet, so mixed floor plans are not a problem.Vacuuming performanceHard floor pickup is excellent. Crumbs, rice, and pet hair disappear in a single pass, and corners clean up if I angle the side brush into the wall. On rugs, surface debris comes up easily. For gritty sand in the fibers I use a second pass on higher suction and it does the job.Mopping performanceThe dual spinning pads give real downward pressure, so dried coffee drips and light kitchen stains come up with a slow pass. Carpets stay dry thanks to the auto-lift. Edge coverage is better than average and the floor does not feel overly wet afterward when I keep the water level at medium.Docking and maintenanceThe base empties the dust, washes the pads with hot water, and dries them. That turns weekly maintenance into quick checks. I still empty the dirty water tank and top up clean water as needed, but I am not scrubbing pads by hand.Battery and noiseNoise is apartment friendly on standard power. Battery efficiency is fine for routine daily cleans, and the robot will recharge and resume for bigger jobs. If you want to vacuum on max power for very large spaces, expect a mid-run top up.What I like• Strong pickup on hard floors and pet hair• Reliable obstacle avoidance and room mapping• Threshold climbing that keeps runs continuous• Hands off dock that empties, washes, and driesWhat to know before buying• Premium price, so watch for promos• Battery efficiency is not class leading on higher suction• Consumables like dust bags, rollers, and pads add to long-term cost• The app is powerful but has a short learning curve to set zones and routines wellBottom lineIf you want a mostly hands off cleaner that vacuums and mops well and can handle tricky thresholds, this is easy to recommend. I would rate it 4 out of 5 for performance and autonomy, minus a star for the premium price and average battery efficiency on high.

My new favourite toy.

This thing is AMAZING. I have another robot vacuum but with the LiDAR ans AI technology it’s blows it out of the water. It’s has a camera which you can use anytime if you want to see what it’s vacuuming or bumping into. Useful for those sweeps under rhe couch. It has an arm which it sticks out to the baseboard to kick out the dirt and then will go back and vacuum it back in. With my other vacuum it took 60 mins to map out our main floor. This took 15 mins and it mapped it all out. It even has a light on it so if the room is dark it will flash rhe light on to see the dirt and sweep what it needs to. It auto detects what items are in the way (ie shoe, toy etc) and shows it on the map when it’s cleaning. The programming takes a bit of adjusting to get used to. It’s not the most straight forward. You can pick whether you want a quick sweep or a dust and sweep. It will also empty itself into the filter and then go back out to finish the job. I haven’t used the mopping feature as yet but fully plan to. The product says you can only use their solution. With thr programming yiu can set the time you want it done, whether it’s just a mop or a mop and vacuum you want done or just a vacuum. You can pick the rooms you want it to vacuum and how often you want it to clean or dust. It has a clean baseboard feature but I haven’t used it. It also has this thing underneath which helps push it above small ledges or if it gets stuck between a rubber mat and another corner it pushes itself out and gets it out. It’s very smart. The entire unit itself is quite bulky. Unfortunately I can’t seem to be able to upload a video of the product but it’s very smooth and quiet. It also has an ability to store clean water and Emory it when it gets dirty, then take more clean water for mopping and repeat.

Surprisingly Easy to Set Up and Super Helpful for Pet Owners

L. · July 23, 2025

I thought the setup and installation would take a while, but it was actually super quick—within 15 minutes of downloading the app, I had the robot vacuum running for the first time! I’m currently using it only on the main floor of my house since that’s where most of the action happens—pets, kitchen, dining area—so it’s the space I want to keep the cleanest.Before the first cleaning, I let it map the area and moved small furniture like dining chairs and anything that could get in the way. It doesn’t do a perfect job on corners (which seems pretty common with round robot vacuums), but overall, it handles the rest of the space really well.One of the things I love most is how user-friendly the app is. It sends you helpful notifications—like when it’s time to change the water, add cleaning solution, or if the vacuum gets stuck somewhere. That’s only happened a couple of times so far, and it was easy to fix.The battery lasts long enough to clean the whole floor in one go, then it heads back to recharge on its own. Of course, battery life might depend on the size of your space, but for me, it’s been great.The only downside is the price—it’s definitely on the expensive side. It might not fit everyone’s budget, but if you can swing it, it’s a great investment, especially if you have pets or just want to save time on daily cleaning.
