Robot vacuum cleaners already feel like a step into the future. These small, slick devices roam around the house, vacuuming and mopping whilst we go about our days.
But now, they're becoming even more helpful, as Dreame's latest model can actually climb steps up to 2.36 inches in height. And for a limited time, the Dreame X50 Ultra is discounted by a whopping $440.
The beauty of the Labor Day sale season means you can bring home one of the most technologically advanced and best robot vacuums at a steal of a price.
Why I'm buying the Dreame X50 Ultra at this bargain price
The Dreame X50 Ultra is the first (and only) robot vacuum to successfully climb steps and thresholds, up to 2.36 inches in height. For anybody that's used a robot vacuum to clean and mop your floors, you'll appreciate this is a gamechanger to avoid having to pick it up every time it gets stuck.
It's a major step, no pun intended, forward for robots becoming completely hands-free.
Technological advancements aside, this is also an excellent robot vacuum in terms of its features and spec. It boasts 20,000Pa suction, which is among the strongest in the market – our current best-on-test, the eufy Omni S1 Pro, has only 8,000Pa suction in comparison.
It has five cleaning modes, whether you want to mop hard floors, vacuum carpets without wetting them, or provide ultra-deep cleaning. And if you're looking for the best vacuum for pet hair, the X50 Ultra promises to tackle hair up to 11.8 inches long without getting tangled.
We're still in the process of fully testing the Dreame X50 Ultra, but it's shaping up to be one of the strongest options out there. Grab it now before the price shoots back up.
The Dreame X50 Ultra is available for $1,259.99 at Dreame.
