Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to stock up on household appliances, and robot vacuums get the star treatment come deals season. You can often find record-low prices on some of the best models available, and I’m delighted to see Dreame’s stair-climbing X50 Ultra receive a hefty price cut this year, with the Dreame X50 Ultra getting a price drop to $799 (was $1,599) at Amazon.

During Black Friday deals, you can score some fantastic savings, but this half-price deal definitely takes the cake for me in this year’s deals event. Plus, if you want the full package complete with extra accessories, the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete is also on offer for $999 (was $1,699).

While that’s still a lot to drop on a robo-cleaner, let me tell you; it’s worth every penny. The Dreame X50 is one of the most reliable and effective robot vacuums I’ve tested so far, and I’ve tried devices from the likes of iRobot, Roborock and Samsung. None offered such a competent machine, and none have been so low-maintenance as Dreame’s.

Plus, with a more expensive robot vacuum, you get a device that will almost certainly outlive budget robovacs. I’ve tried a few, and some broke within months of me first using them; meanwhile, my X50 and I are still going, eight months strong.
