Reports have emerged indicating that the battery life of the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete is not performing as well as anticipated. This new robot vacuum and mop from the brand boasts a strong 20,000 Pa suction power, dual mopping capabilities, and ProLeap technology that allows it to navigate obstacles up to 6 cm (about 2.4 inches) in height. It was officially launched at CES 2025, with an early version displayed at IFA 2024.
User Feedback on Battery Life
Initial users of the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete have shared their thoughts on platforms like Reddit and YouTube, revealing that the battery life is disappointing when compared to other models. According to information from the Dreame website, the X50 Ultra features a 6,400 mAh battery, which is claimed to enable it to operate for up to 220 minutes in Quiet Mode, covering an estimated area of 205 m² (approximately 2,207 ft²) on a single charge. Interestingly, this is the same battery size found in its predecessor, the X40 Ultra Complete, which boasts a longer maximum run time of 260 minutes.
Concerns Over Battery Drain
Nevertheless, users have reported that battery drain appears to have increased significantly compared to older models like the X40 Ultra. One individual mentioned that their usual cleaning routine with a robot vacuum consumes about 25% of the battery, while the new Dreame model, when used in Clean Genius mode, consumes 43%. Similar experiences have been shared by other users. Additionally, Reddit user u/IPTV241 estimates that the battery loses a percentage for every minute of operation; this implies a runtime of just 100 minutes in Clean Genius mode, which is less than half of the maximum claim and below what is typically expected in the industry.
Suitability for Larger Homes
These findings indicate that the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete might not be the best fit for larger residences or those needing to clean extensive areas in a short amount of time. If the climbing feature is not a necessity for you, it might be worth looking into the older model, the Dreame X40 Ultra Complete, which is currently priced at $1,599.99 on Amazon.
