Dreame X50 Master Review: A Revolutionary, Ultra-Compact PowerDock Station
Redesigned design and footprint
From the very first moments of our Dreame X50 Master robot mop review , the PowerDock station catches the eye. Compact, elegant, and designed to fit into a modern interior, it stands out from the bulky bases of many competitors. At just 24.9 cm high and 42 cm wide and deep , it saves nearly 50% less space compared to traditional dual-tank stations. A notable difference in everyday use, especially in interiors where every square meter counts.
The understated, almost minimalist design is more reminiscent of a high-tech object than a household accessory. It's nothing like the sometimes industrial look of competing models, like the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni , which prioritize functionality over aesthetics. Here, Dreame manages to combine practicality and discreet integration into the living room.
But what makes the Dreame X50 Master PowerDock truly revolutionary is its technical approach. Dreame has made a bold choice: completely eliminating the clean and waste water tanks and replacing them with a direct connection to the domestic water network . The result: no more filling or emptying anything.
This is a departure from everything we've tested so far. Some will see it as a risky bet , as everything hinges on installation and reliable connection. Others, on the contrary, will recognize the real hope of total autonomy , which could well redefine what we expect from a high-end robot vacuum cleaner.
Dreame X50 Master: hassle-free installation and connectivity?
Installing the Dreame X50 Master's PowerDock station is similar to installing a dishwasher. It requires a water supply and drain connection, but nothing insurmountable. Dreame provides a complete kit including inlet and drain hoses, connectors, elbows, and a clip-on mounting system. As a result, the operation remains accessible to the general public, without any special plumbing skills.
However, our review of the Dreame X50 Master revealed one sticking point: the included connector wasn't compatible with our standard water supply. So we had to invest in an additional adapter. This may seem like a minor detail, but it could frustrate some users. At this level of the range, we would have liked Dreame to offer several types of connectors directly to cover more home configurations.
Dreame X50 Master review: when autonomy becomes almost magical
From the first cycles, we realize that the Dreame X50 Master's PowerDock is no joke. Once the robot is placed and the station is connected, there is almost nothing more to do. In our test of the Dreame X50 Master , we observed that the dust container empties automatically into a 3.2 liter , which avoids any intervention for several weeks, even with intensive use.
But the real surprise comes with the cleaning of the mops. After each pass, they are washed at 80°C , dried automatically, and the station cleans itself thanks to its 20 nozzles. We spent several days watching the robot in action, and each cycle left the base perfectly clean. Unlike other conventional stations that quickly end up accumulating dirt and marks, this one remains impeccable, even after several weeks of intensive use.
When we tested this feature on different tiled, parquet, and carpeted floors, we were amazed by the level of autonomy achieved. "As for our opinion on the Dreame X50 Master, we found that Dreame has really risen to the challenge: for those looking for a robot that requires minimal intervention, it's a real step forward."
Mapping and navigation: millimeter precision
From the very beginning of our test, the mapping phase impressed us with its speed and precision. In less than 10 minutes, the robot creates a complete and detailed map of the entire space, automatically recognizing the different rooms: living room, bedrooms, bathroom, and hallway. No manual intervention is required, making the experience seamless from the very first use.
Navigation relies on a particularly ingenious retractable laser rangefinder. Thanks to the VersoLift , the robot reduces its height to just 8.9 cm , allowing it to slide under the lowest furniture, a space where many competitors still stumble. The system automatically detects these low-height areas and adjusts its configuration to continue vacuuming and washing smoothly.
On the ground, this translates into a smooth and methodical journey. The robot precisely navigates around obstacles, avoids sensitive areas, and optimizes its paths to leave nothing behind. Even in complex configurations with dense furniture and scattered carpets, the X50 Master remains efficient, fast, and surprisingly quiet. It's a technical feat that demonstrates the maturity of the technology embedded in this high-end model.
ProLift technology in action
From the very beginning of our test, the Dreame X50 Master clearly stood out from a simple robot vacuum cleaner. Its crossing capabilities, thanks to the ProLift system, exceeded our expectations. When faced with thresholds of 4 to 4.5 cm, the robot pauses slightly, analyzes the obstacle, then deploys its retractable feet with impressive fluidity. Crossing is smooth, with each movement seemingly designed to protect the device while preserving fragile floors thanks to internal shock absorbers that perfectly absorb shocks.
Watching the X50 Master in action is almost hypnotic: it climbs, descends, adjusts its trajectory, and continues cleaning as if nothing had happened. This mastery allows it to access areas still inaccessible to many competitors, even in the premium segment. The 6 cm thresholds are no problem, literally transforming its ability to cover a complex and furnished interior.
Throughout our test, we found ourselves following the robot with fascination, witnessing a small mechanical and software feat with each obstacle overcome. The ProLift function perfectly illustrates the X50 Master's combination of performance and adaptability, two essential criteria for a high-end robot.
Suction performance: 20,000 Pa real-life test
From the moment the Dreame X50 Master starts working, you can tell you're dealing with a high-end robot. We simulated three weeks of debris accumulation on different floor types: thick carpets, hard floors, rugs, and tiles. From the first few centimeters on the carpet, the 20,000 Pa is immediately felt. Crumbs, dust, and hair are vacuumed up without resistance, with the dual rotating central brush ensuring no tangles, even on long hair or pet hair.
On thick fabrics, where many robots slow down or leave residue, the X50 Master adapts its trajectory and speed to maintain optimal contact with the surface. It's noticeable that the suction power never weakens, even when the dust bin is deliberately overloaded to test its limits. The rare residue observed therefore comes from this intentional overloading and not from a lack of power.
When moving over tiles or hard surfaces, the robot subtly adjusts its path to maximize the efficiency of its brushes and avoid scattering dust. Every turn, every change of direction is seamless: the robot slows down slightly before obstacles, increases power when it detects a clump of dust, and leaves no space untreated.
Watching the X50 Master at work is almost like watching a small mechanical ballet: it moves forward, backs up slightly to ensure coverage, adjusts the pressure of the brushes, and continues cleaning with impressive regularity. The combination of this suction power and the ProLift system allows it not only to overcome obstacles up to 6 cm, but also to optimize cleaning in areas where other robots fail.
Our opinion is clear : the Dreame X50 Master doesn't just "walk over the floor." It analyzes each area, adjusts its trajectory, and intelligently vacuums, delivering a deep clean that fully lives up to its 20,000 Pa promise. On carpets, hard floors, or thick fabrics, it efficiently collects dust, crumbs, and hairs, while avoiding tangles thanks to its dual central brush. A robot that lives up to expectations for those looking for power and efficiency in a complex interior.
Dreame X50 Ultra: when washing borders on total autonomy
From the first time it's turned on, the Dreame X50 Ultra clearly demonstrates its ambitions: to minimize human intervention. Once configured via the app, the robot gets to work with remarkable autonomy, perfectly orchestrated by its multifunctional station. The latter isn't limited to simple recharging: it manages the automatic emptying of the dust bin, washing and drying of the mops, as well as refilling with clean water. Once the station is configured, the user can almost forget about the robot... until the moment when the results are seen.
On the job, the performance is immediately noticeable. The toughest stains—ketchup, coffee, or thick sauces—disappear after the first pass, and even dried-on residues are no match. The pressure applied by the mops to the floor is more than anecdotal: it provides a sensation close to real manual scrubbing, without any effort on the part of the user. Corners and baseboards, areas often problematic for other models, are systematically reached thanks to the mops' side-exit mechanism. Cleaning is precise and even, with a perfectly cleaned floor, without streaks or residue.
Multifunction station: precision and autonomy
In use, the station reveals its full intelligence. The water can reach 80°C, compared to 70°C on the X40, and the nozzles integrated into the bottom spray water directly onto stains while the robot moistens the mops from behind. This dual action ensures targeted cleaning and mops that remain clean even after multiple cycles. In the field, the mops can be reused for a week without intervention, drastically reducing maintenance. Dirty water is automatically drained into the sewer, while the mops are dried with hot air at the end of the cycle. The 20 nozzles cover all surfaces in contact with the mops, ensuring optimal cleaning with every pass.
Oil change and maintenance: almost zero effort
The automatic emptying system is complemented by a UV disinfection system. While the effect is subtle in the field, the station efficiently vacuums up almost all waste. The 3.2-liter dust bags allow up to 100 days without intervention, and the 4 and 4.5-liter water tanks are among the most generous on the market. However, the wastewater must be emptied regularly to avoid any odors.
Despite this impressive battery life, a little manual maintenance is still necessary: the washing ramp can retain some residue, the brushes and sensors require regular inspection, and the dust bin filter sometimes retains fine particles like cocoa. Nothing restrictive, but these occasional actions guarantee consistent performance and optimal hygiene.

Dreame Home App: The benchmark for smart control
From the very first moment, the Dreame Home app impresses with its clarity and fluidity. The interface, simple at first glance, hides a depth of configuration that will delight demanding users while remaining accessible to novices. In the field, it quickly proves indispensable for getting the most out of the X50 Master.
Advanced mapping and customization
The initial mapping phase goes smoothly. In less than 10 minutes, the robot creates a precise map of the home, automatically recognizing each living room, bedroom, and bathroom with an astonishing level of detail. The plan can then be manually refined: virtual partitions, no-go areas, virtual walls, and even "curtains" to prevent the robot from getting tangled up in certain obstacles.
Carpet management deserves special attention. Three modes are available: vacuuming only, vacuuming with the mops slightly raised, or vacuuming after removing the mops from the station. This last option, particularly innovative, perfectly protects delicate textiles while maintaining optimal efficiency on the rest of the floor.
Programming and cleaning modes
Programming options go far beyond the standard ones. Classic slots (days, hours) are complemented by complex scenarios: differential cleaning by room, vacuuming then washing sequencing, configurable return-to-base frequency (every 10, 20 or 30 m²) and adjustment of the dampness of the mops on four levels.
Genius mode is the pinnacle of this onboard intelligence. In the field, the robot automatically adjusts suction power and mop dampening based on the detected floor type, providing an optimal balance between efficiency and energy consumption.
Voice assistant and remote control
The built-in voice assistant is responsive and accurate, allowing you to launch one-off cleanings or manage all functions without touching your smartphone. The 6400 mAh battery life ensures up to 200 minutes of continuous use, an advantage for large areas where the X50 Master can cover several rooms without interruption.
Competitive positioning and alternatives
In the high-end robot vacuum cleaner market, the Dreame X50 Master clearly positions itself as an innovative model. Compared to competitors like the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra (€999) or the Ecovacs X2 Combo (€699), it stands out above all for its multifunctional connected station and its remarkable compactness. The minor additional cost is justified by the station's almost total autonomy and the technological level it offers: automatic emptying, washing and drying, fresh water refilling, and minimal maintenance.
For those with a home without a nearby water point, the Dreame L20 Ultra is an interesting alternative. With its more traditional docking station, it offers similar performance for €1,121, while retaining Dreame's efficiency in vacuuming and washing, but with a slightly less impressive battery life.
In our opinion, the X50 Master justifies its premium positioning: its combination of high-performance robot and intelligent station offers a near-autonomous experience that few competitors can match, transforming floor cleaning into an almost invisible chore.
