Dreame X60 Pro Ultra Promises Edge Cleaning but Reach Tools Prove Unreliable

The robot’s 18 cm extendable mop arm and 12 cm side brush aim to solve hard-to-reach baseboards and chair legs yet reviewers found the mechanisms inconsistent and said fixes may come in firmware updates.

Overview

  • Dreame positions the X60 Pro Ultra as a premium €1,499 flagship with an extendable mop arm that reaches up to 18 cm and a side brush that extends up to 12 cm to tackle the ‘last centimeter’ of wall and furniture edges.
  • The manufacturer advertises 42,000 Pascal of suction and a comprehensive accessory pack, and an independent review found very strong hard-floor suction and generally good carpet cleaning that matched Dreame’s core performance claims.
  • Dreame’s PowerMaster fast-charge system performed as advertised in testing, letting the robot return to the dock, regain a large portion of battery capacity in minutes, and resume cleaning from where it left off.
  • The review documented inconsistent operation from the extendable hardware: the mop arm sometimes skipped sections along baseboards and the small brush frequently detached after contacts with chair or table legs, which appeared to be software-controllable problems.
  • Practical trade-offs identified include high mop-water consumption that triggered refill prompts after modest coverage and an app with deep menus that may overwhelm casual users; buyers should watch for firmware updates and broader tests to see if software fixes restore reliability.
