4.2
(14)

Verdict

A high-value robot vacuum+mop with standout mopping and hair anti-tangle performance plus a very hands-free dock/app experience; best for mixed hard floors and pet homes, but not the top choice if you prioritize deep carpet or crevice pickup or want the quietest/lowest-profile robot.

Pros

  • Dried-On Stain Removal ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8
    In dried-on stain tests, the P50 Pro Ultra scores well above average, clearing tough spills almost completely and outperforming both the P10 Pro Ultra and many premium rivals.
  • Aesthetic design & finish ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.7
    Reviews often call the base station premium-looking with a clean finish and compact footprint, with the overall styling feeling similar to Dreame designs; some commentary notes the curved-base aesthetic can be polarizing but generally well-finished.
  • Ease of use ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.7
    Day-to-day use is widely described as hands-free thanks to the all-in-one dock (auto-empty into a bag, mop washing, drying, and solution dosing); most upkeep is refilling the clean tank, emptying the dirty tank, and replacing the dust bag roughly every 1–3 months depending on usage, plus occasional dock-tray cleaning.
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.7
    CleanChop/Tricut-style anti-tangle hardware is frequently praised for cutting hair and keeping wrap near zero in testing, sharply reducing brush maintenance; some reviewers still note conical rollers can be even better for certain fine-hair carpet cases, but overall tangle resistance is a standout.
  • Pet-Ready Features ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.7
    Heavy-shedding pet owners find the P50 Pro Ultra excels at pulling up clumps of dog hair while its anti-tangle brush and strong suction make it one of the most pet-friendly robot vacuums in its price range.
  • Mop lifting system ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.6
    The P50 Pro Ultra uses a dual mop pad system that lifts on carpets and can also be left docked entirely for vacuum-only runs, giving owners extra flexibility to keep rugs dry.
  • Mopping performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.6
    For the P50 Pro Ultra, mopping performance is a major strength, with testing showing excellent dried-on stain removal and low leftover moisture, making it one of the better mopping robots in its price range.
  • Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.6
    Overall, the P50 Pro Ultra is widely regarded as a top-tier midrange robot that combines strong cleaning, excellent pet-hair handling, and a rich feature set, with recent reviews praising it as one of the most reliable, best-value robot vacuums even if some tests still rank the P10 slightly higher for raw vacuuming efficiency.
  • Assembly and Setup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.5
    Setup is generally described as quick and straightforward: plug in the dock, attach magnetic mop pads, fill the clean tank/add solution, connect in-app, and run an initial mapping pass that many users report finishing in just a few minutes.
  • Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 10 reviews 4.5
    Commonly positioned as a flagship-like robot around the $700–$800 range (often under $1,000), delivering strong value for its dock automation and mopping; some comparisons still favor the cheaper P10 for pure vacuuming value, while the P50 justifies its premium with better mopping features.
  • Corner Cleaning (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.5
    Corner coverage is repeatedly described as excellent thanks to an extending side brush and targeted corner behaviors, which help reach into 90-degree corners more effectively than most round robots.
  • Docking & Auto-Empty Reliability (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.5
    The multifunction dock is a key strength: it reliably auto-empties into a bag, washes mop pads with heated water, dries them with hot air, refills water/solution, and includes self-cleaning behaviors; magnetic mop pad detach/reattach is frequently highlighted as a convenience feature for carpet-heavy homes.
  • Floor Drying Time ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.5
    Measured and observed mopping often leaves relatively low residual moisture (supporting faster floor dry-down), though a few reports mention occasional dry-mopping behavior, suggesting water delivery or pad wetting can vary by settings and conditions.
  • Bin & Bag ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 11 reviews 4.5
    Uses a disposable dock bag (commonly cited around 3.2 L) that can hold weeks of debris (often framed as up to ~75 days), keeping dust handling cleaner and less messy than frequent manual bin emptying.
  • Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.5
    Edge cleaning is repeatedly highlighted as a strength thanks to extendable edge-mopping and edge-brushing behaviors, with multiple reviews calling out reliable wall/baseboard coverage compared with typical round robots.
  • Cord management ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.5
    Dock design commonly includes cable routing or cord storage that helps the base sit flush against a wall and reduces visible cord clutter.
  • Self-cleaning cycle ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.4
    A built-in self-cleaning cycle at the base scrapes and flushes debris from the dock’s bin and mop area, and recent hands-on tests confirm that the automatic pad-washing and drying greatly reduce how often the user needs to perform deep manual cleaning.
  • Solution / Liquid system ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 10 reviews 4.4
    Its dock-based liquid system washes the mop pads with hot water, refills the internal tank, and works with cleaning solution, so owners mainly need to occasionally refill the clean tank and empty the dirty one rather than manage mopping manually.
  • Area Rug Handling ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.3
    Rug handling is a major strength: mop pads lift on carpet and can be left at the dock entirely for vacuum-only runs, and some modes avoid high-pile rugs; a recurring annoyance is that adding or resizing rugs in the map can require manual input and may affect how close it mops to rug edges.
  • AI, Smart & App / Automation ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 10 reviews 4.3
    The app and automation stack are consistently described as feature-rich: multi-level maps, virtual barriers, detailed per-room controls, stain/soil detection behaviors, off-peak charging options, and FPV/live video features; the trade-off is a learning curve and occasional complaints about lag, connectivity, or manual rug-map tweaking.
  • Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 10 reviews 4.3
    LiDAR-based mapping is often described as fast and accurate (multiple reports of very quick mapping and not getting lost over weeks), with smooth navigation; comparative testing suggests it is efficient overall but not as battery- or coverage-efficient as the P10.
  • Controls & UI ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.3
    Control options are broad, including app-based scheduling/zones plus voice activation (Hey Mova) and smart-home integrations; the UI is powerful but can feel click-heavy for manual one-off cleans depending on how you configure routines.
  • Dirty water sensor ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.3
    Some workflows describe a sensor-driven feedback loop where dirty-water/mop-wash sensing can prompt extra attention (such as re-mopping after heavy stains) and app alerts can indicate when the dirty tank needs servicing.
  • Maintenance requirements ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.3
    Most routine maintenance is automated (auto-empty, mop wash/dry, dock self-clean), with owners mainly managing clean/dirty water and bag replacement; occasional extra tasks include cleaning a small dock tray and troubleshooting sporadic dry-mopping or map/rug-boundary quirks.
  • Accessories & Tools ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
    Typically ships with magnetic mop pads, cleaning solution (or a sample), a ramp/extension plate for the dock, and quick-start documentation, giving most users what they need to begin vacuuming and mopping immediately.
  • Build quality & durability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
    Often described as solid and substantial (including comments that it feels heavy and not cheaply made), with build cues and components resembling Dreame designs; long-term durability is not widely proven yet but short-term impressions are strong.
  • Headlight & LED lights ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.2
    Some reviews describe a built-in LED/light assist that helps it operate and map more confidently in dim areas (such as under furniture or in darker rooms).
  • Suction & Airflow ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.2
    Advertised at 19,000 Pa and repeatedly described as powerful in real-world pickup, but lab testing shows airflow/suction efficiency can lag some competitors (including the cheaper P10), which helps explain weaker deep-carpet and crevice results despite the big headline spec.
  • Odor control ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.1
    Hot-water mop washing and hot-air pad drying are frequently credited with reducing musty odors and mildew risk, though some reviewers note it lacks ozone/electrolyzed-water style treatments found on certain competitors, so dirty-tank odor control still depends on normal emptying cadence.
  • Water tank ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.1
    The P50 Pro Ultra’s water tank is automatically topped up from the dock between runs, enabling extended, multi-room mopping sessions where users usually only have to refill the clean tank and empty the dirty reservoir every few cycles.
  • Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 11 reviews 4.1
    The P50 Pro Ultra’s camera-plus-3D structured light obstacle avoidance remains solid for the price, often rivaling more expensive robots at spotting and steering around clutter even though it can still occasionally snag or ride over flat floor cables.
  • Runtime (Measured, Default) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.0
    Battery tests place the P50 Pro Ultra’s runtime above average for its class, allowing it to clean large homes in one session even if it covers somewhat less area per charge than the P10.
  • Privacy controls ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.7
    Because it supports camera-based features (FPV/live monitoring), privacy depends on user settings and policy acceptance: some reviews mention optional image/AI enablement and PIN-style access controls, while also noting that home maps are typically retained even when cloud image sharing is limited.
  • Noise level ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.6
    Noise is adjustable by mode, but it can be loud at max power (reported around low-60 dB at 1 m in one test and up to the high-70 dB range on max in another), while lower suction settings are often described as quiet enough to run without disrupting the room.
  • Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.6
    Carpet deep-clean performance is mixed: some real-world tests and user demos look strong, but Vacuum Wars’ standardized deep-clean results were notably below average and behind the P10, suggesting it’s better at routine carpet maintenance than pulling heavily embedded debris.

Cons

  • Comparative performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.4
    Compared with the P10 Pro Ultra, the P50 Pro Ultra’s main upgrades are mopping and dock behaviors (including stronger dried-on stain results and added mop-pad handling options), but it tends to score lower on deep carpet cleaning and crevice tests and has ranked lower on Vacuum Wars’ overall list (P50 around #18 vs P10 around #9 as cited in their coverage).
  • Support & Reliability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.4
    Early ownership reports are largely positive for reliability and day-to-day consistency, but some reviewers still flag uncertainty around long-term longevity and customer-service maturity compared with more established brands.
  • Hair Pickup — Carpets ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.2
    Carpet hair pickup is decent but inconsistent: it can remove most pet hair with extra passes, yet standardized tests show below-average results for flattened/embedded hair and slightly weaker performance than the P10, so thick or fine hair on carpet may require repeat runs.
  • Low-profile design ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0
    At roughly ~10.4 cm tall (including the LiDAR tower in at least one measurement), clearance under low furniture can be tight compared with newer low-profile robots that use retractable towers.
  • Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 2.9
    Standardized testing places the P50 Pro Ultra below average for hard-floor crevice and groove pickup and behind the P10, so it can handle everyday cracks but is not a standout for pulling deeply embedded debris from tight floor seams.
  • Adaptive chassis lift ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.8
    Does not appear to offer an advanced chassis-lift system for tall thresholds; hands-on reports suggest it can cross modest bumps (around ~2 cm) but may struggle with higher transitions or step-like obstacles.
