Dreame X60 Ultra Review

And we’re back with another robot vacuum review, but this time, we’re looking at what might be one of the most overengineered robo-vacs on the market right now.

Meet the Dreame X60 Ultra.

This is Dreame’s latest flagship robot vacuum, and honestly, it feels like the company tried to solve almost every common robot vacuum problem in one go.

Low furniture clearance? Solved. Doorway thresholds? Solved. Manual cleaning? Mostly solved.

Now if you’ve seen our feature on the X50 Ultra before, think of the X60 Ultra as Dreame refining that formula even further. The biggest upgrades here are the dramatically stronger 35,000Pa suction, smarter dual-camera AI navigation, improved obstacle recognition, better threshold climbing, and an even slimmer body for cleaning under tighter spaces.

The X50 Ultra is still an incredibly capable flagship robot vacuum, but the X60 Ultra feels more like Dreame’s “no compromises” version of the previous iteration.

Let’s get into it.

Design and Build Quality

At first glance, the X60 Ultra still looks unmistakably like a Dreame robot vacuum. You get the familiar circular design, premium matte finish, and a docking station that honestly looks more like an appliance than an accessory.

And yes, the dock is huge. But considering everything it does, it kind of has to be.

This all-in-one station handles auto dustbin emptying, hot water mop washing, hot air mop drying, automatic water refilling, detergent dispensing, and self-cleaning. So basically, once everything is set up, you can genuinely go weeks without touching the robot itself.

Now the coolest design feature here is easily the new retractable LiDAR system.

Unlike most robot vacuums with a permanently raised sensor tower, the X60 Ultra’s LiDAR module can actually lower itself when needed, reducing the robot’s height to just 79.5mm so it can clean underneath lower furniture more effectively than the X50 Ultra.

And once it exits those tighter spaces, the sensor rises back up for full navigation accuracy. It’s one of those features that sounds gimmicky at first, until you actually realize how many places older robot vacuums simply couldn’t reach before.

Underneath, we get dual spinning mop pads, a redesigned anti-tangle brush system, and Dreame’s improved edge-cleaning setup. The brush design in particular feels much better suited for homes with pets or long hair everywhere.

Performance

This thing is an absolute monster on paper. The X60 Ultra features up to 35,000Pa of suction power, which is a massive jump over the X50 Ultra’s already impressive 20,000Pa system.

And in actual use, it performs exactly how you’d expect a flagship to perform.
Dust, crumbs, pet hair, and larger debris are handled with very little effort, especially on hard floors.

On carpets, the X60 Ultra does a noticeably better job than most robot vacuums at lifting surface debris, especially with its carpet boost modes enabled. It also features automatic mop lifting, so it can vacuum carpets and mop hard floors in a single run without dragging wet pads onto rugs.

Navigation is where things get really impressive though.

Compared to the X50 Ultra’s single AI camera system, the X60 Ultra upgrades to dual AI cameras combined with structured light sensors and proactive LED illumination for more accurate object recognition and route planning.

Dreame claims it can recognize over 280 object types, compared to around 200 on the X50 Ultra. Things like charging cables, slippers, toys, pet bowls, and even smaller clutter are far less likely to get eaten by the robot compared to older models.

Not to mention it can easily go over obstacles on the floor, should there be any, with up to 3.47-inches (8.8cm) of obstacle crossing.

The app experience is also packed with customization. We can create no-go zones, customize room cleaning order, adjust suction and water levels, generate 3D maps, and set carpet-specific behaviors.

Mapping is fast, accurate, and surprisingly detailed.

That said, despite all the tech packed inside, the X60 Ultra still isn’t perfect.

Edge cleaning can occasionally require a second pass, especially in tighter corners. And while suction is incredibly strong, deeply embedded dirt in thicker carpets can still be hit-or-miss depending on the surface.

The AI navigation can also become a little too cautious at times. There were moments where the robot avoided spaces that looked perfectly accessible, likely because it was prioritizing safety over aggressive cleaning.

Mopping performance is excellent for daily maintenance cleaning, but tougher dried stains may still require multiple passes to fully remove.

So, while the X60 Ultra is incredibly smart, there are still moments where traditional cleaning methods are faster for very specific messes.

Battery Life

The Dreame X60 Ultra packs a larger 6,400mAh battery, which gives it excellent endurance overall.

Depending on the cleaning mode, you can expect several hours of runtime before needing to recharge, which is more than enough for most medium to large homes.

And because it supports smart recharge-and-resume, the robot can automatically continue unfinished cleaning sessions after charging without needing any manual input.

Charging speeds are also noticeably faster than older models, helping reduce downtime between runs.

Maintenance

Maintenance is where the X60 Ultra genuinely starts feeling futuristic. The amount of maintenance automation here is honestly ridiculous.

The docking station handles dust collection, mop cleaning, mop drying, water refilling, detergent mixing, and even self-cleaning its own internal washing system.

And because the mop washing system uses hot water and hot air drying, odors and bacteria buildup are much easier to manage compared to older robot vacuums.

For busy households, this level of automation is a huge quality-of-life improvement. Although, the dock does takes up a decent amount of floor space, so smaller condos or tighter living spaces may need to plan around it.

Conclusion

The Dreame X60 Ultra feels less like a regular robot vacuum and more like a fully automated home cleaning system.

It combines extremely strong suction, advanced AI navigation, industry-leading automation, unique hardware innovations like retractable LiDAR and high-threshold climbing into one seriously impressive package.

Compared to the X50 Ultra, the X60 Ultra mainly improves on intelligence, power, and accessibility rather than completely reinventing the experience.

So, if the X50 Ultra already felt premium, the X60 Ultra feels like Dreame pushing things as far as they possibly can for a consumer robot vacuum.

Is it perfect? Not quite. There are still occasional quirks with edge cleaning, deep carpet performance, and overly cautious navigation behavior.

But in terms of convenience, smart features, and sheer engineering ambition, the X60 Ultra is easily one of the most advanced robot vacuums available right now.

It’s the kind of product that genuinely makes smart homes feel smarter. And while the price is definitely premium, so is the experience.
