Dreame has introduced the CyberX at IFA 2025 in Berlin, aiming to make it the first consumer robot vacuum to successfully climb stairs. For years, robot vacuums have had limited mobility when it comes to multi-floor homes. Most robotic development for vacuums focus on improving robot navigation, suction, and mopping. But with the CyberX, Dreame is aiming to solve one of the industry’s biggest challenges: how to handle multi-level cleaning without human help.
Dreame CyberX Can Climb Stairs Up to 25 cm (9.8 in)
The CyberX climbs stairs up to 25 centimeters (about 9.8 inches), a height far beyond what any other robot vacuum can manage. Thick treaded wheels give the robot traction, while a triple braking protection system keeps it from slipping backward.
Dreame added a Smart 3D Adapt visual system, which scans and evaluates stairs before the robot moves forward. This visual analysis reduces the risk of missteps and helps the CyberX assess unsafe climbs.
CyberX in Action at IFA 2025
Industry First: From Threshold Climbing to Stair Navigation
Since CES 2025, Dreame has focused on advancing threshold-climbing technology. The company first introduced robots capable of crossing 6 cm barriers, later pushing that to 8 cm with the Aqua10 Ultra Roller. Building on those gains, the new CyberX extends the concept from thresholds to full stair navigation, setting a fresh benchmark for robotic cleaning.
Battery Life and Multi-Floor Coverage
A 6400 mAh battery powers the CyberX, giving it enough runtime for larger spaces. Dreame says the robot can cover up to five floors in a home. Paired with stair climbing, this makes it one of the first robots capable of tackling an entire multi-level house without manual relocation.
Why Stair-Climbing Robot Vacuums Matter
Stairs have been the unsolved problem in the robot vacuum industry. Most households with multiple levels still rely on manual vacuuming for stairs and separate robot vacuums for each floor. By addressing stair climbing, Dreame moves closer to the idea of a true whole-home robot vacuum.
Price and Availability of the Dreame CyberX
Dreame has not yet released details on pricing or availability. More information may follow after IFA, but for now the CyberX remains a preview of what’s to come.
Takeaway
There is a lot we still don’t know about the CyberX. The Dreame CyberX represents a turning point for robot vacuums. With the ability to climb stairs, scan environments in 3D, and work across five floors, it sets a new direction for the category. Whether the technology proves reliable in everyday use will be the next big question.
