Why do reviews of this thing disagree so much?

Vacuum Wars runs controlled cleaning tests, and on those the X60 is the best they've measured — hence the #1 ranking. Long-term at-home reviewers (Gizmodo, Android Authority) hit water refills, detaching mop pads, and dock-return failures that lab tests don't capture. It cleans brilliantly when it behaves; it just doesn't always behave.

X60 Max Ultra vs Roborock Saros 20?

Same 3.13-inch slim profile, similar threshold climbing, similar carpet scores. The X60 avoided more obstacles in testing (22 vs 17 of 24), but the Saros 20 is $100 cheaper and drew none of the water-hog or mop-pad complaints. Android Authority recommended the Roborock over this one.

How often do you really refill the water tank?

About every 600 sq ft of mopping under normal settings — every other day in Android Authority's testing. Gizmodo measured roughly 12oz per mop-wash cycle even in water-saving mode, about twice what a eufy Omni E28 used. Budget for frequent trips to the sink unless you plumb the dock.

Do the mop pads actually fall off?

Two separate reviewers reported it. The pads attach magnetically, and when the robot bunches up a rug edge during a transition, a pad can detach and get left behind. Mostly-hard-floor homes without loose rugs largely avoid the problem.

Should X50 Ultra owners upgrade?

Probably not yet. X50 owners were already flagging heavy battery drain, and the X60 doesn't fix efficiency — it covers ~950 sq ft per charge, below the category average. The upgrades are threshold climbing and raw cleaning scores; if neither is a pain point, hold.

Pros

✓Slimmest X-Series yet at 3.13 inches with retractable LiDAR - glides under sofas and beds most robots can't reach
✓Class-leading deep cleaning: 89% embedded sand removal from carpet and 100% pet hair pickup in Vacuum Wars testing
✓HyperStream Detangling DuoBrush 2.0 finished a 7-inch hair test with zero wrap
✓Dual 120-degree AI cameras with proactive illumination spot obstacles as small as 1cm in 0.1 seconds
✓ThermoHub dock washes pads with true 212°F boiling water, hot-air dries them, and auto-refills from a dual-solution compartment including pet odor eliminator

Cons

✗Premium $1,699.99 launch price, though the slim design is the main upgrade over cheaper Dreame flagships
✗Small 235ml dustbin fills fast in larger homes and leans on frequent dock trips
✗Navigation efficiency and per-charge coverage (~950 sq ft) tested below category average
✗Massive 18 x 18 x 26 inch, 52 lb dock demands serious floor space

Owner Insights

No robot in this catalog splits reviewers harder. Vacuum Wars ranked the X60 Max Ultra Complete #1 on their Top 20 list on the strength of monster lab scores — 89% carpet deep clean, 100% flattened pet hair, a 136-point stain-removal score against a 93-point average. Gizmodo lived with one for weeks and gave it 2.5/5 under the headline "$1,700 Worth of Robot Vacuum Problems." Both are telling the truth: the cleaning hardware is arguably the best Dreame has ever shipped, and the day-to-day software and water management are not. It launched in February 2026, so long-term owner threads are still sparse — most owner discussion is still about the X50 Ultra it replaced.

The practical complaints are specific and repeated. It goes through water fast — refills roughly every 600 sq ft, about every other day for Android Authority, and Gizmodo measured ~12oz per wash cycle in the water-saving mode. The magnetic mop pads detach when the robot snags rug edges. Gizmodo's unit repeatedly got stranded away from its dock overnight, and the chassis-lift feature meant to protect carpet can cut suction on regular rugs. The app buries everything, and pet recognition didn't work. On the plus side, the dock is quiet and odor-free, the two-detergent auto-refill (including a pet-odor formula) is a real convenience, and the 51mm threshold climbing is matched only by the Roborock Saros 20.

This is for spec-maximalists with hard floors, tall thresholds, and patience for app fiddling — and ideally a water line nearby. At $1,699.99 it costs $100 more than the Saros 20, which cleans nearly as well with far fewer babysitting complaints; Android Authority explicitly pointed shoppers to the Saros 20, Narwal Flow 2, or eufy Omni S2 instead. If the price drops meaningfully below the Roborock, the calculus changes.

Pros

+Best-in-class lab cleaning numbers — 89% carpet deep clean, a perfect 100% on flattened pet hair, and 0% hair wrap from the HyperStream DuoDivide brush
+Climbs 51mm single thresholds and 88mm two-tier transitions — top-tier for split-level homes and tall door strips
+3.13-inch body with retractable LiDAR ducks under couches and beds most flagships can't reach
+Avoided 22 of 24 objects in Vacuum Wars' obstacle course — better than nearly everything else tested
+Complete-tier dock auto-refills two detergents (floor cleaner plus pet-odor formula) and fast-charges the robot in about 80 minutes
+Genuinely quiet in standard mode — around 55 dB(A), conversation-level

Cons

−Drinks water: Gizmodo measured roughly 12oz per mop-wash cycle in water-SAVING mode, and Android Authority had to refill the tank about every 600 sq ft — every other day in their testing
−Magnetic mop pads pop off when the robot bunches up rug edges — multiple reviewers hit this independently
−Navigation stranding: Gizmodo's unit repeatedly failed to find its dock on nightly runs and kept bumping dining-chair bases
−The Dreame app is a cluttered junk drawer — useful settings buried pages deep, and pet-recognition simply didn't work in testing
−Tiny 235ml dustbin, the price of the slim profile
−Below-average coverage per charge (~950 sq ft vs a 1,170 average) and slow runs — one reviewer clocked 70-90+ minutes for about 300 sq ft, with cleanings dragging past 2 a.m.
−$1,699.99 — the most expensive robot in its class, without the polish to match
