Camera-based navigation that needs the lights on is one of the recurring complaints about the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock, and it is the Dreame X50 Ultra that comes out ahead overall, with a bigger water tank, a larger onboard bin and a longer warranty on top of its own LiDAR mapping. The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock is cheaper and shares the same broad smart-home support, and its AutoWash dock washes and dries mop pads much like the Dreame's does when everything is working as intended. Owner reports of frequent failures on the iRobot are the bigger concern, though, which is reflected in how it compares here. Buyers who want dependable LiDAR mapping and larger reservoirs should choose the Dreame X50 Ultra; bargain hunters willing to accept more risk may still look at the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock.
