The two robots have the same cleaning mechanics, navigation & obstacle avoidance system, and the docks look alike.
The main difference is the mopping system:
1. The Dreame Matrix10 Ultra switches mopping pads for different rooms, and the pads heat themselves as the robot mops.
2. The Aqua10 Ultra uses a dual water tank system that maintains water temperature and continues cleaning the roller during mopping.
The station is made for different mopping technologies.
Dreame's innovative mopping robot
MAIN things:
- Mop switching for different rooms
- DashDry system
- Upgraded climbing ability
- New pads that keep the temperature high
Dreame Matrix10 Ultra
Automatically switches the pads for different rooms | Hot mopping feature | Innovative mopping pads
The Matrix10 Ultra is the latest and most advanced robot vacuum in the lineup.
Mopping technology:
- dual rotating pads extend&swing along the walls with a side brush assist;
- triple cleaning solutions: floor cleaning solution, pet odor solution, wood floor care solution;
- side brush, main brush, mop lift separately
- 3 types of pads for different rooms. 40°C/104°F mop cleaning with thermal mop pads for the living room, nylon-bristle scrubbing pads for the kitchen, and sponge mop pads for the bathroom.
- Dirt detection ensures the robot sees stains and makes two more passes to remove them.
3 types of pads for different rooms
Thermal mop pads for the living room and nylon-bristle scrubbing pads have a phase-change material for constant temperature (keeps it at 40°C/104°F).
The Sponge mop pads for the bathroom exclude the layer that keeps them warm.
two types of pads for hot mopping
The new way of mopping with three types of pads and cleaning solutions.
Multi-Mop Switching dock features:
- Multi-Mop switching for different rooms (3 pairs of different mopping pads).
- DashDry system washes & dries the pads, dustbox, and dust bag, freeing you of manual maintenance.
- Washes the pads with hot water at 100°C (212°F).
- AceClean DryBoard washes and dries the washboard with hot water and air, removing odors.
- Refills the water tank.
- Three-solution compartment & auto refilling for customized cleaning liquids.
- Empties the dustbin.
- Auto Drainage system support.
The station washes and hot air dries the washboard, dust box, dustbin and pads
The main Multi-Mop dock thing is its ability to switch the pads for different rooms. It contains three types of pads and automatically removes the pads when the robot needs a switch. No one on the market has this option.
With the drying system, the dock removes odors, leaving the station freshly clean with no need for manual maintenance.
Supports the Auto-refilling and Draining to install.
Cleaning mechanics:
- The upgraded ProLeap system has a 4.2 cm single-layer step and 4+4 cm if there are two.
- Duobrush roller, an anti-tangle side brush for deep cleaning and surface pick up.
- Triple-wheel AgiLift for smooth climbing.
- Rectracts LDS under furniture and knows more than 240 types of objects to avoid.
- Strong 30k Pa suction for carpets.
- Depending on the cleaning job, the robot lifts the rollers, mops, or uses a side brush.
Keeps it low-profile with retractable LDS system
The most advanced navigation and cross-country ability in the industry.
The roller mopping system
What's new?
- More suction
- New mopping system
- Upgraded ProLeap
- AutoSeal roller guard
- ThermoHub technology
- Upgraded navigation & obstacle avoidance
- Dual solution
- Disposable bag drying
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra gets a completely new mopping system that keeps the mopping roller continuously clean, consumes less water, and dries with hot air, leaving it fresh and cool when the job is done.
Mopping upgrades (versus Dreame X50):
- New fluffy roller instead of two pads.
- Two onboard water tanks for fresh and waste water. This system continuously cleans the roller.
- AutoSeal roller guard automatically covers the roller mop on carpets.
- ThermoHub washes and dries the roller, scrubbing off dirt after mopping. The PTC system cools down quickly after cleaning, ensuring the washboard stays safe to touch for everyone in your home.
- The dual solution combines a floor cleaning solution and a pet odor neutralizer, separating them into two boxes
Better, less-consuming technology for a smoother mopping experience.
ThermoHub scrubs away grime and odors from the roller and cools down after cleaning
It might be the most efficient mopping system on the market.
Cleaning mechanics upgrades (versus Dreame X50):
- Stronger suction for deep carpet vacuuming.
- Upgraded climbing system helps crossing obstacles up to 3.15 in (1.65in single-layer threshold or two-layer steps if the lower step is 8cm wide).
- The Triple-Wheel AgiLift chassis lifts and shifts its three-wheel system to glide over 1.18-inch obstacles.
- Upgraded navigation system and obstacle avoidance technology.
- Lifts the mopping roller higher when stepping on carpet.
- The dock's advanced heating system (122°F*) keeps the dust bag completely dry, preventing damp debris odors and deterring insect growth (new).
The robot is ideal for all surfaces thanks to the upgraded mopping system, stronger suction, and better navigation.

Self-washing station
The X series has a redesigned compact station and a detergent tank that is compatible with any detergent. The station features:
- Auto-empty. Sucks the dustbin's content into the disposable bag.
- Auto-fill water & detergent.
- Auto-wash the mopping pads and washboard. Older models do not wash the washboard and wash the pads with cold water. The latest do so with hot water.
- Drying the mopping pads. The mopping pads are getting dried with hot water after mopping.
The Dreame X50 Ultra washes and dries the washboard with warm water and hot air.
Mopping
- Rotating pads for mopping.
- Extend the mopping pad and a side brush along the walls, twist and delve as deep as 1.57in (4cm), reaching further hidden debris under furniture.
- Leaving the pads on the station automatically when not needed (except for the X30 Ultra)
- Dirt Detection makes the robot rewash the pads and remop dirty areas twice. These models use more water.
- Lifting the pads on the carpet.
- Lifting the roller in a mopping-only mode.
Dirt Detection senses how dirty the pads are after the mopping is done, washes them, and gets the robot back to mop the same area twice. The latest models are more precise at it.
*for a smoother mopping experience, get the model with a station that uses hot water for washing the pads.
