Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme: Australia’s most ambitious robot vacuum yet
The Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme is here, and it’s hard to overstate how seriously Dreame is taking the Australian flagship market with this one. The dreame x60 ultra extreme lands with a confirmed Australian RRP of $3,299, arriving on shelves around mid-October 2026 — and its spec sheet reads like a list of every complaint Australians have ever had about robot vacuums, answered in one machine.
The headline is the twin extendable arms. The side brush can reach 12cm out from the body while the mop pad extends a full 18cm into corners and along skirting boards. Pair that with 42,000Pa of suction, a 100°C mop self-cleaning cycle, and the ability to climb obstacles up to 10cm high, and the Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme becomes a genuine step up from the current crop of flagships — at least on paper.
Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme: what’s new
Corner and edge cleaning is where almost every robot vacuum falls down. The dreame x60 ultra extreme attacks the problem with hardware rather than marketing: a side brush that extends 12cm from the body and a mop arm that reaches 18cm — far further than anything else we’ve seen on the market. If you’ve ever watched your robot spin uselessly around a table leg or leave a dust line along the skirting board, that’s the gap this machine is designed to close.
Suction is rated at 42,000Pa, which puts it right at the top of the category alongside the Mova V70 Ultra Complete. The mop self-cleaning cycle runs at 100°C — hot enough to properly sanitise the mop pads between runs rather than just rinsing them. And the 10cm obstacle-climbing ability is the most aggressive we’ve seen: most flagships tap out at 3–5cm, with only a few stretching past 8cm.
Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme Australia price and availability
The Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme has a confirmed Australian RRP of $3,299. Dreame Australia has confirmed the local launch, with the machine expected on shelves at Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys around mid-October 2026.
That $3,299 sticker makes the dreame x60 ultra extreme the most expensive Dreame robot vacuum ever to land in Australia. It’s worth noting that brand-new flagship robot vacuums almost always soften in price within a few months of launch — the first wave of street prices, bundles and cashback offers usually appear by the first sale event. We couldn’t verify live street prices at the time of writing, so treat the $3,299 RRP as the figure to plan around until the dust settles.
Our verdict
Too early to tell — we haven’t tested the Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme, and nothing replaces hands-on testing with a robot vacuum. On paper, this is one of the most complete spec sheets we’ve seen in the category: the 18cm mop reach, 42,000Pa suction and 100°C mop washing are all category-leading numbers.
Our honest take: this is worth the wait if edge and corner cleaning is the thing your current robot fumbles — nothing else on the market reaches 18cm into a corner. But at $3,299, it sits well above established rivals like the Roborock Saros 20 Flow, and Dreame is charging a premium for the privilege of being first. We’d suggest letting street prices settle before pulling the trigger.
Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme specs: the numbers that matter
The raw numbers on the dreame x60 ultra extreme are genuinely impressive:
- Suction: 42,000Pa — among the highest ratings in any robot vacuum on sale in Australia
- Side brush reach: 12cm extension from the body
- Mop reach: 18cm extension into corners and along skirting boards
- Mop self-cleaning: 100°C hot-water cycle
- Obstacle climbing: up to 10cm — the highest we’ve seen
Those figures need the usual caveat: suction ratings are measured under lab conditions and don’t translate one-to-one into real-world pickup, especially on carpet. What they do signal is intent — Dreame is throwing everything it has at this machine.
Edge and corner cleaning: the 18cm mop arm
This is the reason the Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme exists. Most robot vacuums clean the open floor well and fade badly in the last few centimetres: dust lines along skirting boards, crumbs hugging kitchen cabinetry, pet hair collecting in corners. An 18cm mop reach doesn’t just improve that — on paper, it largely eliminates the category’s worst weakness.
The 12cm side brush extension works the same trick on the vacuum side, sweeping debris out from edges before the main brush picks it up. Whether the mechanism survives a year of daily use without losing alignment is something we’ll only learn from long-term testing — extendable arms are a moving part, and moving parts wear.
Mopping and the 100°C self-clean
The dreame x60 ultra extreme’s mop self-cleaning cycle runs at 100°C, which is hotter than most flagships (70–80°C is typical). That matters because lukewarm mop washing is one of the quiet failures of robot vacuum docks: pads get rinsed, not cleaned, and the dock slowly turns into a science experiment. A 100°C cycle should genuinely sanitise the pads and cut down on the odour problems that plague warm, damp docks.
Combined with 42,000Pa of suction, the cleaning hardware here is as good as the category currently offers. The question, as ever, is whether the software — mapping, obstacle avoidance, room-by-room control — is as polished as the hardware.
Who should buy the Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme
The Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme makes sense for you if:
- Edge and corner cleaning is your biggest frustration with your current robot — the 18cm reach is unmatched
- You have homes with mixed flooring and low thresholds, where the 10cm climbing ability genuinely helps
- You want the most aggressive spec sheet available and accept paying early-adopter pricing
It makes less sense if you’re price-sensitive — $3,299 is steep, and rivals like the Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro ($2,799) and the Mova V70 Ultra Complete ($3,299) offer comparable flagship specs. Check our Best Robot Vacuums Australia 2026 guide for the full field before deciding.
Frequently asked questions

Is the Dreame X60 Ultra Extreme worth $3,299?
Too early to tell — we haven’t tested it. On paper the specs justify the flagship positioning, but at $3,299 it’s priced above several strong rivals. If edge cleaning is your top priority, the 18cm mop reach is unmatched. Otherwise, it may be wise to wait for street prices to settle.
