We took a look at two of the current premium vacuums from Ecovacs and Dreame and compared their features. Both excel in different disciplines and ultimately end up close to each other.
Premium Robot Vacuums in a Duel: Dreame X50 Ultra Complete vs. ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO Omni
Anyone interested in a high-end robot vacuum will inevitably come across the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete and the ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO Omni. Both models score with modern features and a cleaning station, but differ in detail. After intensive testing, I'll show you which model is worth it for whom – and where the strengths and weaknesses lie.
The Most Important Differences at a Glance
Both robot vacuums cost the same and offer an impressive overall package on paper. Nevertheless, the differences in practice and equipment cannot be overlooked. This particularly affects navigation, mopping function, cleaning performance on different surfaces, and handling of the cleaning station.
[tableofcontent]Advantages of the ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO Omni over the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete
- Higher suction power (16,600 Pa vs. 20,000 Pa for the Dreame, but better carpet cleaning in testing)
- Better suction performance on carpeted floors
- Shorter cleaning duration per square meter and lower battery consumption
- Larger water tank in the robot (110 ml vs. 80 ml)
- More compact cleaning station (lower height)
- Very good app with all important functions
Advantages of the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete over the ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO Omni
- Higher nominal suction power (20,000 Pa)
- Better climbing performance (overcomes higher obstacles)
- Larger dust and water tanks in the station
- Convincing edge and corner cleaning
- Very good mopping performance with liquids (e.g. coffee)
- Faster mop lifting and higher mop lifting height (10.5 mm)
- More supported voice assistants (incl. Siri and proprietary assistant)
What Do the Differences Mean for Cleaning Performance?
From my experience, the difference is particularly noticeable on carpet. The ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO Omni consistently delivers better results here despite lower nominal suction power – probably a combination of brush technology and intelligent carpet detection. The Dreame scores with excellent corner and edge cleaning, which can be a plus in rooms with many corners.
When mopping, the Dreame X50 particularly convinces with liquids like coffee. The mop lifting function and higher temperature with hot water ensure more hygienic floors. The Ecovacs is more efficient at picking up dirt on large surfaces, but struggles somewhat at the edges.
My impression: Those who have many carpets and large areas will get along better with the ECOVACS DEEBOT X9. Those who value perfect edge cleaning and a versatile mopping system are well served with the Dreame.
Which Model is Suitable for Whom?
- ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO Omni: Large apartments/houses with many carpets, pet owners, users focused on efficiency and compact station.
- If you appreciate an intuitive app and short cleaning times, this is the right choice.
- Dreame X50 Ultra Complete: Apartments with many corners, sensitive floors, desire for top mopping performance and large cleaning station.
- Those who value voice control with Siri or proprietary assistant get more flexibility here.
