Black Friday Deals: The Dreame X50 Ultra is a premium pet-friendly robot vacuum, and it has the price tag to match -- this bad boy usually retails for $1,600. But ahead of Black Friday, you can nab one of CNET's best robovacs for 50% off, saving a grand total of $800. We've never seen the Dreame X50 at this all-time low price before.
The Dreame X50 may be pricier than other robot vacuums, but it can handle tasks that you'd otherwise have to assist with. This robovac has auxiliary climbing arms that allow it to change elevations, cleaning multiple floors and pieces of furniture without a person needing to give it a lift. The Dreame X50 is the best choice for handling furniture and pet hair and is the recipient of a CNET Editors' Choice Award -- so make sure to grab one during this massive deal.
