Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete review

The Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete U.S. package pairs the RLX87DE robot with the RCXE0808 base station. Dreame’s native U.S. record lists black SKU 010201AA000977 and white SKU 010201AA001004; these are finish variants of the same robot-and-dock configuration. This is not the same package as the X60 Ultra RLX92DE with base RCXE0910.

Low furniture is a measurement problem, not a slogan

Dreame lists the X60 Max at 3.13 inches tall with its VersaLift navigation sensor retracted and 4.05 inches with the sensor raised. The manufacturer’s own footnote sets a 3.19-inch minimum entry height when VersaLift navigation is enabled, and calls for a flat, unobstructed furniture underside. A 3.0-inch gap is therefore not a fit; for a 3.5-inch opening, measure the lowest brace, trim, floor transition and rug edge rather than relying on the robot’s thinnest body measurement. The robot is 13.78 inches across and weighs 10.36 pounds. Its station is a substantial 15.34 by 16.65 by 19.65 inches and weighs 23.37 pounds, before leaving working space around it.

The low-profile sensor helps when clearance constrains a route, but it does not erase the normal limits of a round robot. Measure the opening and projections, and plan for the station’s footprint and tank access.

What the Max changes for carpet

The most meaningful distinction from the X60 Ultra is not the advertised suction number: both pages list a 35,000 Pa maximum. Dreame’s X60-series FAQ says chassis lifting for crossing thick carpets and the retractable pressure chamber for embedded carpet dust belong to the X60 Max Ultra Complete, while the X60 Ultra does not have those two features. The Max page describes a retractable plate that forms a more enclosed suction chamber and an automatic chassis-and-mop lift on low-pile carpets. It also describes removing the mop pads for a high-pile-carpet mode.

Those are useful feature differences, not a published carpet-pile measurement. The maker does not state a maximum supported carpet depth for this exact U.S. package, so a required inch-by-inch carpet limit remains unknown. Nor should its in-house pickup graphics be read as independent comparative testing. If a rug’s depth or edge is a must-pass condition, verify that exact requirement separately; do not treat “thick carpet” language as a universal guarantee.

Two fluids, two kinds of mop-water claim

The robot uses two rotating Omni-Scrub pads. Dreame lists up to 230 rpm, 15 N of downward force and 10.5 mm of mop lift; the page labels these as manufacturer testing claims. The mop pads can be automatically removed for the stated high-pile mode. On the floor, use the app’s actual vacuum, mop or combined mode as appropriate and keep the clean-water tank filled with cool water as the manual directs.

The dock’s washboard is claimed to reach 100°C under stated heating conditions. That is the station’s pad-cleaning area, not water delivered to the floor. Dreame’s separate 40°C language describes mop-pad temperature after one minute of cleaning (with a stated 30–40°C range and 40°C peak); the manual does not publish a numeric temperature for water dispensed during the robot’s mopping cycle. If a warm-water-on-floor minimum is essential, neither a 100°C washboard nor a warmed pad satisfies it.

The X60 Max station also has separate solution compartments: one for standard floor solution and one for pet-odor solution. The U.S. package list includes a 200 ml pet-odor solution and a 1 L standard solution, alongside three additional mop-pad pairs, two dust bags in total, and replacement brushes and filter. The manual says to keep the two fluids in their assigned compartments and use only approved Dreame solution. This can reduce the need to move a bottle between cleaning routines, but it is not a claim that every pet stain or odor will disappear.

The dock automates chores, not all upkeep

The base empties dust, washes and hot-air dries pads, refills the robot’s water supply and dispenses the two solutions. Its clean- and used-water tanks hold 4.2 and 3.0 liters; the dust bag is 3.2 liters. The default U.S. package uses removable tanks rather than requiring fixed plumbing. A separate water-hookup kit is described for some regions, with installation conditions to check; it is not part of the standard robot-and-dock package reviewed here.

The manual still calls for emptying and rinsing the used-water tank after each use, cleaning the clean-water tank about every two weeks, checking the washboard filter every one to two months, and cleaning the heating module about every six months. Those are suggested routines; actual frequency depends on use. Expect to refill water and eventually change bags and pads, and leave the dock accessible for those jobs.

Who should shortlist it—and who should compare first

The X60 Max Ultra Complete is the more relevant sibling if your carpet plan benefits from the retractable pressure plate and chassis-lift features, or if you want separately dispensed general and pet-odor solutions. It also retains the thin sensor-retracted body, dual-pad mopping, automatic pad care and conditional threshold claims of the X60 family. The single-layer crossing claim is 4.5 cm; the 8.8 cm two-layer figure applies only when the top of the lower step is more than 23 cm wide. Neither is a guaranteed result for every threshold shape.

Compare the standard Dreame X60 Ultra if those Max-only carpet mechanisms and second solution compartment do not answer a real need. It shares the family’s main headline suction and low-profile dimensions, so a bigger number on the Max page is not a reason by itself to choose it. If you need a published carpet-depth ceiling, floor-water temperature, fixed plumbing in the standard package, or compatibility with a 5 GHz-only Wi-Fi network, this review does not establish those conditions: the manual supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, and the exact facts do not turn unknowns into promises.
