The two have completely different mopping systems but are similar in other ways.
Both models feature a dual brushroll system, strong suction, excellent climbing ability, and an advanced station.
Self-washing station
Dreame's station features:
- Auto-empty. Sucks the dustbin's content into the disposable bag.
- Auto-fill water & detergent.
- Auto-wash & dry the mopping pads and washboard with hot water.
- Drying the mopping pads/roller.
The X50 Ultra station washes the pads at a higher temperature.
The difference:
The biggest difference between the two is the mopping system.
The Aqua10 Ultra uses a roller and has two water tanks onboard. The robot keeps the roller clean as it mops. This system is known for its performance with stubborn stains and consumes less water.
The X60 MAX Ultra has two innovative rotating pads that maintain a high temperature, imitating hot mopping.
Roller mop
*Dreame L50 Ultra or the newer Aqua10 Ultra?
Key features:
- Two onboard water tanks
- A soft roller that extends along the walls
- AutoSeal roller guard
- ThermoHub technology
- 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:
- 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
The dock's advanced heating system (122°F*) keeps the dust bag completely dry, preventing damp debris odors and deterring insect growth.
Auto Dust Bag Drying
It might be the most efficient mopping system on the market.
Cleaning mechanics:
- Stronger suction for deep carpet vacuuming.
- The upgraded climbing system helps you cross obstacles up to 3.15 in (1.65 in 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 obstacles as high as 1.18 inches.
- 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.
The Dreame covers a roller on carpet to prevent dampening and carpet odors.
Thermal mopping pads
Key features:
- Advanced navigation & obstacle avoidance
- Better climbing ability
- Advanced self-cleaning system
- Shorter body
- New hot mopping technology
The Dreame X60 MAX Ultra has a new sleek design and upgraded retractable legs that climb higher obstacles.
The X60 series features dual retractable legs and a swing arm motor engineered for 30,000 cycles of reliable performance, smoothly clearing double-layer steps up to 8.8cm
Cleaning mechanics upgrades:
- Better climbing ability
- Shorter body gets under most furniture
- Stronger suction for deep carpet cleaning
- Upgraded navigation & smoother obstacle avoidance
The most powerful robot in the lineup suits homes with thicker carpets.
The self-cleaning station has ThermoHub: a self-cleaning system that washes and dries the pads at a higher temperature, giving it a hot bath.
Mopping upgrades:
- The newest thermal mop pads with 104°F (40°C) hot water
- ThermoHub mop self-cleaning at a higher temperature
- Better self-cleaning system
The thermal pads heat water to 40°C for hot mopping, which helps with removing stains.

Smoother navigation, stronger suction, new hot mopping system.
Summing up
Depending on what you are looking for, the two are similar in performance yet have different mopping systems.
The Aqua10 Ultra is better at removing stubborn stains, yet it doesn't have a hot mopping feature. However, it seems that lacking such a feature doesn't affect performance much. The self-cleaning system also includes the disposable bag drying, which the newest X60 Max Ultra lacks.
The X60 MAX Ultra has innovative mopping pads and a hot mopping feature, which might be a good thing for sterilizing your floors. The robot is shorter which means it gets under most furniture, has more power for carpet vacuuming, and climbs higher obstacles.
