Trouver V50 Ultra Complete: Lidar Lift, 24000 Pa, Rover Mode, Upgraded Station!

The Trouver V50 Ultra Complete robot vacuum cleaner is a new product for 2025, priced at $1,000-$1,200 and boasting a number of cutting-edge design features. These include a retractable lidar sensor, an object recognition system with backlighting, an effective cleaning module, an off-road mode for overcoming high thresholds, advanced app functionality, and an all-in-one docking station. In short, it's a flagship solution as of late 2025. Below, I'll thoroughly test the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete, highlight its pros and cons, and then share my personal opinion. Let's get started!

Equipment

Let's start with the package contents. The robot vacuum cleaner arrived in this branded box:

In addition to the robot and station itself, the delivery kit includes:

1. Two napkin holders.
2. Power adapter.
3. Documentation for the robot with translation into Russian.
4. A liter bottle of branded detergent.
5. A separate cleaning agent for eliminating pet odors, 200 ml.
6. Three spare bags for the station.
7. 12 spare napkins.
8. Three spare HEPA filters.
9. Two spare side brushes.
10. Spare central brushes.

The coolest package. This is how a premium robot vacuum cleaner should be equipped!

Appearance

Now let's take a look at the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete's design. Let's start with the robot vacuum itself. It's round and comes in white.

The main feature is its integrated lidar. When raised, the vacuum cleaner measures 110.5 mm tall, but with the lidar retracted, it's only 89.5 mm. This means the robot can easily fit under furniture with clearance of up to 9 cm. The technology itself is aptly named FlexiRise, or "flexible rise," which enables both precise navigation and maneuverability in areas previously considered inaccessible by lidar.

A wall sensor is mounted on the right bumper. Navigation is handled by a lidar sensor and a backlit object recognition system. All of this is powered by AI SmartSight technology, already familiar from the Z50 Ultra and P50 Pro Ultra.

In addition to object recognition, the camera can be used for remote monitoring of your home via a smartphone.

The lidar here doesn't have a spring-loaded cover. It houses microphones for voice control of the robot via the proprietary "Hey, Trouver" assistant, as well as two mechanical control buttons.

The 300 ml dust container is located under the magnetically secured top cover. Next to it, you'll find a QR code for connecting the robot to a Wi-Fi network.

The filtration system is based on a washable HEPA filter. The 80 ml water tank is hidden inside the housing. Water is automatically pumped into it at the station.

The robot's underside is equipped with four anti-fall sensors and a carpet sensor. It has a single, three-beam side brush secured with a screw.

The side brush extends into corners and under furniture for thorough sweeping. It can also be raised when mopping floors, on carpets, and when returning to the station or over thresholds.

The robot's wheels deserve special attention. They are equipped with additional retractable legs for overcoming high thresholds. This technology is called StepMaster.

The robot's stated clearance is 6 cm with a two-level threshold, and 4.2 cm with a single-level threshold. I'll test this robot's clearance.

The cleaning module is very familiar. It consists of two turbo brushes under the brand name TroboWave Detangling DuoBrush. The front brush is made entirely of silicone, while the rear one has bristles and petals. The central brush unit not only floats but also lifts up for floor cleaning.

The turbo brushes are cone-shaped to remove tangled hair and fur. They are held in place by the spokes. The suction opening has been moved to the edge, where the tangled hair will be removed. I'll definitely check everything in my tests.

For wet cleaning, the robot mops the floor with two round, rotating pads. They are of a standard design and are held in place with Velcro.

One of the cleaning pads extends to the edge of the body for a thorough cleaning of the floor along walls and furniture. There's even an algorithm for the rear end to swipe under furniture. Furthermore, the robot's rear end fits snugly into corners to minimize blind spots.

Another interesting feature is that the robot supplies hot water heated to 50 degrees to the wipes. The wipes press on the floor with a clamping force of 8N, and their angle of inclination can be changed by 5 degrees with an up-and-down stroke of 2 and 1 mm, respectively, which allows for more effective cleaning of uneven surfaces.

The wipers can automatically lift up 10.5 mm when entering carpets, as well as during dry cleaning and returning to the station. Furthermore, the robot can automatically drop the wiper holders at the station for a complete dry cleaning.

Now that we've dealt with the robot, it's time for the station. Here, the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete doesn't just recharge: it self-cleans the dust bin, washes the cloths with hot water, automatically mixing in detergent, dries the cloths with warm air, and dries the dust bin and dust bag. Plus, it features UV sterilization for the bag and the cloth washing area. The only issue with this station is that it can't be connected to a sewer or water supply, and this is the first serious criticism of the robot. Now, let's take a closer look at each component of the station.

The station's bottom is flat and ridge-free, simplifying maintenance and improving self-cleaning—there's simply nothing for dirt to cling to. The cloths are washed through 20 nozzles, evenly wetting both mops. The washing water is heated to 80°C, and the drying process is done with air at approximately 60°C—the cloths emerge clean, completely dry, and odor-free.

The robot's access ramp is removable, as is the coarse filter in the tray. However, the tray itself is not removable. An ultraviolet lamp is placed between the ventilation holes for drying napkins.

Above the robot's parking area, under the cover, there is a garbage bag and a container for detergent.

First, about the detergent dispenser. It's an improved design. It has two compartments: one for regular detergent (400 ml) and one for a special pet odor remover (200 ml).

You can choose which detergent to use in the settings. Incidentally, it's added not only to the wipes area but also to the robot's tank when refilling via the station. At least that's what the brand claims.

Here's a standard bag, with a capacity of 3.2 liters. Inside the garbage chute, there's an additional ultraviolet lamp that disinfects the bag's contents.

The water tank is traditionally located under the top cover. The dirty water tank holds 3.5 liters, while the clean water tank holds 4 liters. The clean water tank is equipped with a scale inhibitor.

So far, we see that the robot has both strengths and weaknesses. And most interestingly, while it's largely identical to the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, there are still some differences. Let's see how this robot performs in tests.

Functional capabilities

Let's move on to an overview of the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete's features. The robot vacuum is controlled via the proprietary Trouver mobile app. Connecting to the network is straightforward, following the manufacturer's instructions. The interface is in Russian, and everything is clear and user-friendly.

The main functions are displayed on the screen:

Interestingly, this model supports control via the proprietary "Hey, Trouver" voice assistant, which understands Russian phrases. While the set of phrases is currently limited, the built-in assistant is very convenient, and there's room for improvement to make the robot more user-friendly. Here's how it works:

It is also worth highlighting the function of remote monitoring of the house through the camera on the robot.

Overall, we see that the functionality is constantly being updated, and new useful features are emerging that many missed in its predecessors.

Testing

A detailed video review with all tests has already been prepared and published on the channel:

Navigation

And finally, let's move on to the tests. First, we'll test the robot's navigation in a room with obstacles. After leaving the station, it navigated the perimeter of the room, recognizing and carefully navigating around the legs of a dryer. After that, it began cleaning the entire accessible area in a serpentine pattern. It swept around the legs of a table and a box before returning to the station. Interestingly, the mirror didn't introduce any errors into the map.

Speaking of navigation within the house, the robot vacuum cleans room by room, following the perimeter, then in a serpentine pattern. After each room, as I've determined, it returns to the station and washes the wipes, then resumes cleaning from where it left off. There are no uncleaned areas left; this model has excellent navigation!

Passing under low furniture

The minimum height at which the robot can travel was also tested. I created a 9-centimeter gap under the furniture. First, the robot cleaned the entire accessible area with the lidar raised, then automatically recognized the gap it could physically enter, lowered the lidar, and drove into it. You can also manually define zones on the map where the robot vacuum should hide the lidar. That's a plus!

Autonomy

I also tested the battery life when running the robot at maximum power with wet cleaning enabled. It lasted 114 minutes, cleaning 71 square meters of usable space. In reality, that's enough to clean a two-bedroom apartment for one and a half full cleanings. However, I should note that there's a resume cleaning mode after charging in the base station, so this model can clean twice as much. In my opinion, the robot's battery life is average.

Recognizing objects on the floor

As for the object avoidance system, it's well implemented. In normal lighting, the robot was able to accurately avoid 6 out of 6 objects on the floor, correctly identifying 5 of them, except for a toy. It was also able to correctly identify and accurately avoid 3 out of 3 socks. Of the 4 wires, it only recognized and avoided 2, running over the other two. It even chewed the red wire and wound it around a napkin holder, but didn't make a mistake. Regarding avoiding imitations of pet surprises, the robot vacuum was able to avoid all 6 traps, correctly identifying them.

In complete darkness, the object recognition system can also function thanks to the backlight, but the camera is still blinded. The robot was only able to avoid two of six household objects—a toy and a shoe—and didn't recognize them. It simply drove over the rest. Of the four wires tested, it surprisingly accurately avoided all four, but recognized three. Of the three socks tested, it recognized and avoided all three. Regarding the pet surprise simulation, the robot recognized and avoided five of the six traps, and drove over one.

So I can say the object recognition system is accurate. It still needs some work, of course, but it's only minor, and I think it will be improved with future firmware updates.

I tested the stain detection: the robot didn't notice dried ketchup on the first try. On the second run, it detected the stain, turned off the suction, and spot-cleaned it in a crisscross pattern using the floor cleaning mode. It then returned to the station, washed the cleaning pads, and resumed its normal cleaning. However, there was no follow-up check to see if the stain was still there, and part of the stain remained. Conclusion: the feature exists, but it's still crude and needs some improvement.

In principle, the application states that this is a laboratory function, which means that it is still working in test mode.

Cleaning behind the curtains

One of the key advantages of the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete is its ability to clean behind curtains and drapes. You create a zone on the map, and the robot first cleans the room using its normal mode, then hides its lidar and gently "pushes" the curtains, cleaning behind them. A very convenient and rare feature among competitors!

Suction power

One of the most important tests is to check the actual suction power on a test bench with crevices of varying depths. In "Quiet" mode, the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete was able to clean a 2 mm crevice well. In Standard mode, it completely cleaned 2 mm. In Turbo mode, the robot partially reached the 4 mm mark. In "Maximum" mode, the result remained unchanged, and in "Maximum+" mode, the robot improved on the 4 mm crevice and partially cleaned 6 and 8 mm crevices.

So, despite the higher claimed suction power, the test results are identical compared to the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, its main competitor. Actual suction power is higher, but not as high as claimed, due to the brush design. Due to the larger suction opening and the distance between the brushes and the body, aerodynamic losses have occurred. While not as critical as with some premium competitors, they are nonetheless present.

Dry cleaning

Cleaning performance on laminate floors is excellent: the robot picked up all the debris from the flooring, including large, heavy cat litter pellets that often get stuck in the turbo brushes. Corner cleaning is particularly impressive—the retractable side brush picks up all the debris. Outside corners are also cleaned, although small blind spots remain along the edges closer to the corners.

Let's look at the condition of the cleaning module. We see that the second roller with the bristle inserts bore the bristles' bristles, literally tangling hair around itself. Given the limited space and large amount of debris, it's too early to evaluate the effectiveness of this solution. Further testing is needed.

Anti-tangle Hair Protection

I tested the self-cleaning of the turbo brushes by spreading hair of varying lengths on the floor. The robot picked it up, and the results were generally good—the rear bristle-petal brush cleaned itself, but some hair got tangled up in the side brush. So, the hair removal system works, but it's not perfect.

And here's the condition of the brushes after a week of use in an apartment with a shedding pet:

Under these conditions, the brushes are clean, so I think the updated cleaning module is effective in preventing hair and fur from getting tangled!

Carpet cleaning

Additionally, debris was scattered on a low-pile carpet. I can say that the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete thoroughly cleaned the carpet. It also cleaned medium-pile carpet thoroughly. Test passed!

Self-cleaning

Immediately after the "dirty tests," I checked the robot vacuum's self-cleaning performance. I returned it to the station and ran the self-cleaning cycle. The results were good, but the container wasn't perfectly clean. We also saw how clogged the HEPA filter was. It would definitely benefit from some pre-cleaning protection like a mesh.

Wet cleaning and carpets

When it comes to wet cleaning on carpeted floors, there are several robot behavior options. I'll highlight four of the most interesting. The first is the automatic lifting of the cleaning cloths when entering carpets, allowing the robot vacuum cleaner to simultaneously vacuum and mop the floor, leaving the carpets dry and clean.

The second option is to enable the automatic carpet avoidance feature in wet cleaning mode. The third mode is carpet ignoring, in which the robot rotates the cloths on the pile, thereby performing a wet cleaning. Some people prefer this type of interaction.

And finally, the fourth mode is the most interesting. The robot vacuum first performs dry and wet cleaning on hard floors, then returns to the base, automatically unfastens the cleaning pads, and returns to the cleaning process, having vacuumed the carpets without the pads. This is especially useful for high- and medium-pile carpets, as it completely eliminates any contact between the pad and the carpet if necessary.

Wiping off dirt

The dirt removal performance is also excellent. The cloth presses firmly to the floor and absorbs dirt. It also eliminates the narrow area along the baseboard, thanks to the extension of one of the cloths. That's a plus!

Removing stains

When it came to removing tough stains, the robot was able to remove even dried-on coffee and sauce stains. Granted, it didn't take the first try. To be precise, most of the stains were removed after the fifth attempt. But by the sixth attempt, the entire stand was completely clean. An excellent result, one of the best on the project!

Washing and drying test of napkins

I'd like to immediately talk about the station's effectiveness. Let's start with the cleaning performance of the wipes. Even after extensive testing, the wipes look significantly better after washing with the station. The water heating function and automatic detergent mixing undoubtedly improve cleaning performance. And fortunately, the lack of combs in the station's bottom didn't affect the self-cleaning performance.

In a domestic setting, after washing the floor, the wipes are thoroughly rinsed at the station. No visible contamination was detected.

I decided to test the wash temperature myself—in my case, the peak temperature in the drain area was 41.4 degrees. After rinsing, the cloths themselves were around 29-32 degrees, as the water heating temperature decreases during the wash cycle.

The drying temperature for the wipes is high – the sensor showed over 54 degrees, and that’s a good result!

I also checked the dust container's drying temperature. The sensor inside the container inside the robot itself read 33.5 degrees Celsius.

The heating in the bag is minimal, at around 26.6 degrees. But it's there, and that's a fact.

Station maintenance

A few words about station maintenance. After using the robot for a week in a domestic environment, we see that the station's bottom isn't particularly shabby, but the drain is a bit dirty. Some debris has accumulated on the coarse filter, which will need to be cleaned manually periodically. We remove the drain and filter, rinse them in the sink, wipe the station's non-removable parts with a cloth, and replace the cleaned parts. Overall, it's not difficult. The station's updated design clearly simplifies maintenance without compromising the self-cleaning performance!

Passability

An equally interesting test is testing the robot's cross-country ability. Here, I'd like to point out that there are two modes for crossing thresholds: stepping over and synchronously crossing with both wheels. In my opinion, the stepping over mode is more gentle, but with synchronously crossing obstacles, the robot crosses thresholds more confidently.

Let's start with a 2 cm threshold. It crossed it without a problem. A 3 cm threshold is also no problem for this robot. The Trouver V50 Ultra Complete cleared a 4 cm threshold. And it even managed to cross a 5 cm threshold flush with the ground!

However, single-level 6 and 7 cm thresholds are actually impassable for the robot. I simulated the manufacturer's recommended two-level 4+2 cm threshold—a task the robot's updated wheels can handle. So, this is truly one of the most maneuverable robot vacuums on the market!

Driving on black surfaces

Driving over black carpets is no problem. The robot glides over the black carpet as if nothing had happened.

Noise level

As for the noise level, it ranges from 58.5 to 73.5 dB, depending on the selected operating mode. The noise level is elevated, but it's important to note that the robot is powerful, and these parameters are interrelated.

The station's noise level during self-cleaning is approximately 67.6 dB. And that's a good result!

Personal opinion

The Trouver V50 Ultra Complete robot vacuum cleaner has been thoroughly reviewed and tested. our evaluation system he managed to gain 251 points and lose just 1 point to the leader of the rating, Dreame X50 Ultra Complete V overall ranking of tested robotic vacuum cleaners according to the project version.

I'll highlight the pros and cons I discovered, and then share my opinion on the robot, including explaining what was missing to make this model a leader. I liked the following:

1. The Trouver V50 Ultra Complete's off-road capability is simply impressive. It even negotiates 5 cm (2 in) thresholds without a hitch—a rare feat among the more than 200 robots I've tested. It's safe to say that this robot is top-notch in terms of off-road performance.
2. The lidar is concealed within the robot's body, allowing it to easily clean under furniture with clearances as small as 9 cm. Even if the floor is uneven or the furniture is slightly off by 10 cm, the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete still passes confidently underneath.
3. The robot vacuum cleaner is capable of cleaning behind curtains and drapes, which makes it stand out from most lidar-based alternatives.
4. This is practically the best all-in-one station in terms of features. It has almost every feature available on the market, including water heating, heated air for drying wipes, heated air for drying the dust bin, self-cleaning bottom, automatic detergent mixing from two separate compartments, one of which is designed to eliminate pet odors, wipe soil level monitoring, and even antibacterial protection of the station's components with a UV lamp.
5. Maintenance is now easier thanks to the new design of the wipes tray. Although the tray is no longer removable, its flat bottom is less likely to become soiled and self-cleans along with the wipes during washing.
6. The object recognition system is highly accurate. The robot identifies objects almost perfectly both in good lighting and in complete darkness.
7. High-quality wet cleaning over large areas. The cloths press harder on the floor, removing tough stains faster. Plus, the cloth can reach up to baseboards, swivel under furniture, and reach into corners with its back. The cloths also lift up on carpets and can be dropped off at stations for a full dry cleaning. Everything here is fully charged by 2025 standards.
8. Increased suction power. Although the 24,000 Pascal rating wasn't confirmed in tests, the robot demonstrated excellent dust collection, including large debris, on a variety of surfaces, even medium-pile carpets!
9. The robot vacuum cleaner completely sweeps out debris from corners and can even partially sweep it from under furniture thanks to its retractable side brush.
10. The new dual turbo brushes virtually eliminate tangles and hair while effectively picking up debris on a variety of surfaces. Larger debris is better picked up thanks to the increased clearance between the brushes.
11. Automatic lifting of cloths, turbo brush and side brush.
12. The robot vacuum cleaner is not afraid of black surfaces.
13. The proprietary app offers a wide range of features. New features are constantly being added, such as stain detection, dynamic cleaning, and even a hair compression feature that squeezes hair out of the dust bin during cleaning.
14. Built-in "Hey, Trouver" voice support allows you to control the robot with voice commands without using a smartphone.
15. Remote home monitoring function via robot camera.
16. The app, voice notifications, commands, and instructions are fully localized in Russian. The robot is fully market-ready.
17. Extended package includes a year-long set of consumables and accessories.
18. High-quality assembly and high brand authority.
19. Availability of warranty and service.

Now about the disadvantages, there are three of them:

1. The first and most important is that the station cannot be connected to sewer or water lines. This is even physically impossible due to the lack of openings in the station's body. This is a very strange decision for a premium model in late 2025.
2. The second issue is that the claimed superior suction power wasn't confirmed in tests. I expected the robot to thoroughly clean a 10 mm gap and reach deeper marks, but no, it didn't. This is clearly due to the new central brushes. The engineers prioritized improving the quality of debris collection, including large debris, and the ability to remove tangled hair. The large gaps caused some losses. These aren't critical, and even 8 mm is a good result. However, in terms of actual output power, this device performed weaker than many premium competitors. Interestingly, the result isn't even better than that of its twin, the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, which is equipped with the same cleaning module and has 4000 Pa less suction power.
3. And finally, the third caveat: the object recognition system needs some improvement. At the time of writing, the robot doesn't perfectly avoid obstacles even in good lighting.

And more of a recommendation than a criticism: it would be nice to improve the side brush by implementing a system to prevent hair and fur from tangling. At least, like the competitors', with two brushes instead of three.

In fact, it's one of the best robot vacuums I've tested, as of October 2025. If it had a module for connecting to a sewer and water supply, it would have clearly taken first place in the overall ranking, as while it's very similar to the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, its design is actually slightly better, in that it dries the dust container with warm air and has a separate compartment for a special detergent to eliminate pet odors. The Dreame, on the other hand, doesn't have any major advantages, except for its automatic water drainage module.

In any case, the Trouver V50 Ultra Complete deserves attention and is recommended as one of the best in 2025. On this note, I'd like to conclude this review. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy shopping, everyone. Bye!
