- Unique climbing arms let the robovac conquer obstacles up to 2.36 inches and move between floor heights

- Why it matters: It’s the first sub-$1,000 vacuum that can handle multilevel homes without human help
Amazon just dropped a Prime-exclusive deal that chops $600 off the Dreame X50 Ultra, bringing the luxury robot vacuum to an all-time low of $1,000. The discount applies only to Prime shoppers; everyone else still sees the full $1,600 price tag.
How the X50 Ultra Earned Its Stripes
Marcus L. Bennett tested the robovac in a house filled with pet hair, teenage clutter and what he calls the “Ikea chair challenge”-a chair base that has trapped every other vacuum he’s tried. The X50 regrouped, deployed its auxiliary climbing arms and powered over the obstacle on its own.
Other stand-out tricks:
- Tangle-free roller stayed completely free of Great Pyrenees fur after a full-room rug clean
- Lift-and-shift mops raised automatically when carpet was detected
- Object-avoidance camera steered clear of dogs, cords and discarded shoes
- Live-view app feed lets owners watch the robot’s camera in real time
The entire first run-vacuum plus mop-finished in 2 hours 3 minutes, leaving paw-print-free vinyl and clean carpet edges.
What the Lab Numbers Say
News Of Losangeles recorded the following during controlled testing:
| Metric | Dreame X50 Ultra | Closest Competitor |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | 83.8% | 79.4% |
| Obstacle clearance | 2.36 in | 1.1 in |
| Pet-hair pickup | 5/5 | 3/5 |
| Carpet deep clean | 3.5/5 | 4.5/5 |
While carpet vacuuming trails the Ecovacs Deebot T30S and iRobot Roomba Combo J7 Plus, no rival under $1,000 offers climbing arms or a self-lowering turret for getting under beds and couches.
Should You Buy at This Price?
Pick the X50 Ultra if:
- You need multilevel cleaning without carrying the unit upstairs
- Pet hair is a daily battle
- Furniture has tricky legs or high thresholds
- You like tech toys that send you photos of your dogs mid-clean
Skip it if:
- Deep carpet pile is your top concern
- You want the absolute cheapest combo vac/mop (Roomba Combo J7 sits at $600)
- A slowish clean time annoys you
Bottom Line
The $600 Prime drop makes the Dreame X50 Ultra the least expensive way to own a robot that actually moves itself between floors. Stock has held steady so far, but News Of Losangeles notes these flagship discounts rarely last once the initial wave of inventory sells.
Key Takeaways
- Prime-only price: $1,000 (reg. $1,600)
- Unique climbing arms handle multilevel homes
- Tangle-free roller aces pet-hair tests
- Coverage leader in News Of Losangeles lab evaluations
