MOVA Robot Vacuums in 2025: A Complete Buyer’s Guide

MOVA has been making a name for itself in the Asian and European markets, earning a reputation for packing premium hardware into mid-range price tags. Its CES 2025 debut marked MOVA’s entry into North American markets, showcasing high-end features that have typically been found in more expensive robot vacuum models.

With cutting-edge capabilities like 60mm threshold climbing, retracting LiDAR, hot‑wash docks, AI object avoidance, and even a specialized edge‑mopping maneuver called RoboSwing, MOVA’s latest robots aim to deliver top-tier functionality while maintaining a competitive price point.

Below you’ll find a breakdown of what you can expect from a MOVA robot vacuum, based on their official manufacturer specs and what those features mean for the robot’s performance.

Core Features Shared by All MOVA Robot Vacuums (LiDAR Mapping, Mop Lift, App Controls)

Vacuum + Mop combo. MOVA offers vacuum-mop combos, with varying automation and mopping systems.

LiDAR mapping with 3DAdapt structured‑light sensors. A spinning laser tower draws an accurate floor map, while the front 3D sensor array spots phone cables, pet toys, or stray socks. (Higher-tiered models incorporate an RGB camera for dirt detection and more precise obstacle recognition.)

Third‑party voice integration. All MOVA models can be controlled with Alexa, Google, etc., allowing voice commands.

RoboSwing™ edge maneuver. When the robot reaches a wall or cabinet toe‑kick it performs a quick pivot, swinging its mop plate—or, on P‑series models, an extending spinning pad—out to the side. That motion lets it scrub baseboards, and in the P-series it can reach up to 40 mm.

Carpet intelligence. All models sense carpet automatically. They boost suction for deeper pickup and are able to lift their mops over carpet, preventing them from mopping your rugs.

Generous battery with recharge & resume. The battery life is sufficient for most residential floor plans, but if juice does run low, the robot tops up at its dock and picks up right where it left off.

MOVA Home app. A clean, modern interface lets you save multi‑floor maps, draw no‑go zones, set custom room schedules, and tweak vacuum or mop intensity. The app allows the sort of granular control one would expect from any big-name robot vacuum manufacturer.

Three‑year global warranty. MOVA announced at CES that they are backing their products with a longer‑than‑average three‑year warranty—a reassuring safety net for a brand that’s still proving itself in North America.

MOVA Robot Vacuum Series Explained: Z vs V vs P vs E vs S Models Compared

The “Z” model tops the MOVA lineup with MOVA’s highest tier of premium features so far.

A “V” model with premium series (currently only made up of the V50 Ultra Complete) has recently been added to the MOVA lineup.

“P” series models are MOVA’s mid-range lineup, offering a range of suction and robust app controls that are surprising for models in this price range.

“E” series model straddles the S and P series as another low-mid option.

“S” series models are MOVA’s lowest tier, budget offerings. They offer a fairly high suction rate and suite of features for their price range.

MOVA Robot Vacuum Naming Guide: What “Plus,” “Ultra,” and “Pro” Really Mean

The MOVA robot vacuum list is still rather slim because it is newer, at least to the American market. Therefore, their product lineup is less complicated than older brands, which can layer names on names as marketing tactics and technology evolve. Still, MOVA does follow a traceable naming convention:

• “Plus” means it comes with an auto-emptying dustbin, which is managed by the dock.
• “Ultra” means it comes with an “Ultra” dock, which washes and dries the mop pads (and in the case of the P50, also leaves mops in the dock when it does a vacuum only run).
• “Pro” refers to enhanced robots, and so far it seems to represent the addition of an onboard voice assistant, higher suction, and video monitoring.

MOVA Mobius 60 Robot Vacuum Overview (30,000Pa Suction, MopSwap System, StepMaster 2.0)

Core Features of the MOVA Mobius 60 Flagship Robot Vacuum

Positioned at the very top of MOVA’s lineup, above even the Z-series, the Mobius 60 introduces MOVA’s most advanced hardware package to date. With an ultra-high 30,000 Pa suction motor, a modular MopSwap system with three interchangeable pads, and a liftable StepMaster 2.0 chassis capable of crossing obstacles up to 3.14 inches (80 mm), this model is designed for homes that want maximum cleaning power with minimal intervention. Its FlexScope retracting DToF sensor allows the robot to lower its profile to move under furniture, then rise again to scan larger spaces with a wider field of view. On‑board voice assistant allows for hands‑free commands without a third-party platform.

Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance with FlexScope LiDAR and StepMaster 2.0

The Mobius 60 uses MOVA’s FlexScope Navigation system, which pairs LiDAR mapping with a retractable DToF sensor that adjusts its height on the fly. When the robot enters low-clearance areas, the sensor lowers to minimize the robot’s profile; in open rooms, it rises to increase scanning range and mapping precision. This adaptive setup gives the Mobius 60 a wider navigation envelope than standard fixed-height towers.

For mobility, the robot incorporates StepMaster 2.0, a liftable chassis with retractable legs that allows it to climb thresholds, door tracks, and U-shaped furniture legs up to 3.14 inches high. For single obstacles with sheer faces, it can scale up to 1.98 inches. Together, the adaptive height and climbing system give this model exceptional reach in cluttered or uneven homes.

Suction & Anti-Tangle Brushes (30,000Pa, Dynamic Carpet Boost, DuoBrush)

With 30,000 Pa of official suction, the Mobius 60 surpasses every other MOVA model. It uses a Dynamic Suction Retention System that lowers an internal baffle when carpet is detected, increasing the vacuum pressure and improves pickup on deep-pile rugs.

The Mobius 60 relies on MOVA’s Triple Anti-Tangle system, which includes the TroboWave DuoBrush main brush. The side brush extends 4cm to the side for corner reach. The combination of multiple anti-tangle mechanisms makes this one of MOVA’s lowest-maintenance flagship robots for homes with long hair or shedding pets.

MopSwap Mopping System with Interchangeable Pads (ThermoHold, Plush, HyperClean)

The Mobius 60 debuts MOVA’s MopSwap System, a modular mopping platform built around three interchangeable pads, which are stored and swapped automatically in the dock:

• ThermoHold Mop – uses heat-lock fibers to tackle grease and oily residues, especially in kitchens.
• Plush Mop – made with ultra-soft fibers for moisture absorption and gentle care on delicate flooring like hardwood.
• HyperClean Mop – a composite-fiber pad designed for high-friction scrubbing and general-purpose cleaning across most surfaces.

This model also uses MOVA’s ultrasonic carpet detection, lifting the mop plate when carpet is detected to keep rugs dry.

Auto Maintenance Base Station with 100°C Mop Washing & Self-Cleaning Dock

The Mobius 60’s Auto Maintenance Base Station handles nearly every upkeep task automatically. The dock empties debris into a sealed dustbag, refills the robot’s water tank, and washes the mop pads at the end of each run. A standout feature of this station is its 100 °C (212 °F) PTC-heated washboard, which dissolves stubborn buildup on mop pads and sanitizes the washboard itself for better hygiene between cycles. This high-temperature cleaning process is unique within MOVA’s lineup and places the Mobius 60 among the brand’s most maintenance-efficient robots.

MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Robot Vacuum Overview (28,000Pa Suction, DuoBrush Rollers, HydroForce Mop System)

Model: Z60 Ultra Roller Complete

Core Features of the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Flagship Robot Vacuum

The Z60 Ultra Roller Complete represents the cutting edge of MOVA’s technology. Positioned above the P- and V-series, it integrates stronger motors, smarter carpet protection, and a new mop washing system. Highlights include:

• 28,000Pa Ultra Suction powered by MOVA’s strongest motor to date.
• Anti-Tangle DuoBrush system with dual rollers designed to resist hair wrap, a major plus for pet owners.
• AutoShield Carpet Protection – a dual defense that not only lifts the mop but also deploys a barrier to block moisture from ever reaching your carpets.
• HydroForce Real-Time Mop Washing – a 12-nozzle system continuously rinses the mop during cleaning runs, preventing dirty streaks.
• MaxiReach Edge-to-Edge Cleaning – a 25.6 cm extended roller mop paired with a smart side brush achieves near-perfect coverage, scrubbing baseboards and corners more effectively than shaped mop pads.
• Adaptive All-Terrain Mobility – StepMaster 2.0 with LiftPro Chassis climbs thresholds up to 80 mm (≈3.1 in.), while FlexScope Navigation keeps the 96 mm-tall robot slim enough to glide under low furniture.
• All-in-One Self-Care Base Station – the Z60’s dock handles debris emptying, hot-water mop washing, dual-solution refilling, and hot-air drying, making upkeep virtually hands-free.

Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance with FlexScope LiDAR and AI Object Recognition

The Z60 relies on LiDAR mapping combined with MOVA’s FlexScope Navigation sensors. Its low-profile retractable LiDAR tower helps it slip under couches and cabinets while still producing accurate maps. AI object recognition builds on MOVA’s 3DAdapt system, tuned to detect pet bowls, toys, and cables.

Suction & DuoBrush Rollers (28,000Pa Power and Anti-Tangle Pet Hair Performance)

At 28,000 Pa, the Z60 outpaces even the V50 Ultra Complete. Its DuoBrush counter-rotating rollers actively resist tangles to handle pet hair, long hair, and debris on both carpets and hard floors.

HydroForce Real-Time Mop Washing & AutoShield Carpet Protection System

The Z60 debuts MOVA’s HydroForce Real-Time Mop Washing feature. Instead of waiting until it returns to the dock, the mop is continually flushed during cleaning by a 12-nozzle spray system. This ensures the mop stays fresh across large cleaning areas. Combined with AutoShield Carpet Protection and a 10 mm mop lift, carpets remain fully protected during mixed-floor cleaning runs.

All-in-One Self-Care Dock with Hot-Water Mop Washing and Dual-Solution Refills

The All-in-One Self-Care Station provides:

• Auto-emptying of debris into a bagged bin.
• Hot-water mop washing and hot-air drying.
• Dual-solution refills (general cleaner + pet deodorizer).
• Automatic mop removal for vacuum-only runs.

MOVA V50 Ultra Complete Robot Vacuum Overview (24,000Pa Suction, Warm-Water Mopping, Retracting LiDAR)

Model: V50 Ultra Complete

Core Features of the MOVA V50 Ultra Complete Premium Robot Vacuum

The V50 Ultra Complete is currently the highest rung on the MOVA ladder, with several premium features:

• CleanLift™ Adaptive Chassis lets the V50 climb thresholds up to 60 mm (2.4 in.) with lifting, retractable legs on the wheels.
• A retracting LiDAR tower drops flush with the top shell so the bot can fit under 9.5 cm (≈3.7 in.) furniture
• 24,000 Pa HyperVent™ official suction motor.
• DuoSolution™ Warm‑Water Mopping keeps two cleaning solutions on tap—an all‑purpose cleanser and a pet‑odor formula—mixing either with 50 °C water for an extra edge in mopping
• A JetSpray dry board cleans the mop pads with 20 pressurized water jets

Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance with LiDAR, RGB Camera, and AI Object Avoidance 2.0

For navigation, the V50 Ultra uses triple‑sensor array that combines LiDAR mapping with a front RGB camera and MOVA’s 3DAdapt structured‑light sensor. AI Object Avoidance 2.0, whose expanded library is designed to recognize low‑lying toys, power strips, pet bowls, and pet messes under 15 mm tall.

Suction & Anti-Tangle Twin Rollers (24,000Pa HyperVent Motor)

The V50 has an official suction motor of 24,000 Pa combined with with twin rollers. These counter‑rotating rubber brushes sit in an anti‑tangle housing with active hair removal, and an extending side brush lifts 10 mm to avoid collisions with obstacles.

Warm-Water Mopping with DuoSolution and Dual Spinning Pads (RoboSwing Edge Reach)

Twin spinning pads heat‑soak at 50 °C inside the dock, then rotate at high RPM as the V50 cleans. The pads can raise 10 mm when carpet is detected, and during RoboSwing™ maneuvers, one pad slides 40 mm outward. DuoSolution cartridges mix detergent and a pet deodorizing solution for you.

Ultra 2-in-1 Self-Cleaning Dock with Hot-Water Mop Washing & Auto-Emptying

The Ultra 2‑in‑1 Station is MOVA’s most advanced base to date: it pulls debris into a sealed bag, flushes the mops with 50 °C water, heat‑dries both the pads and internal dust channel. The robot can leave the mop pads in the dock so the robot can run vacuum‑only jobs without carrying damp cloths around your carpets.

Additional Smart Features (Voice Assistant, Video Monitoring, Remote Cleaning)

On‑board voice assistant for hands‑free commands without Alexa/Google Home, and live two‑way video via the RGB camera—check on pets or trigger a spontaneous cleaning.

MOVA P-Series Robot Vacuum Overview (Dual Spinning Mop Pads, LiDAR + RGB Navigation, Up to 19,000Pa Suction)

Models: P10 Ultra • P10 Pro Ultra • P50 Pro Ultra

Core Features of the MOVA P-Series (P10 Ultra, P10 Pro Ultra, P50 Pro Ultra)

The P‑series is built around dual spinning mop pads that work with an extending mop arm; during the RoboSwing maneuver one pad slides outward to scrub right up against baseboards and beneath cabinet overhangs. Under the hood, these models pack MOVA’s highest suction power, jumping from 8,300 Pa on the P10 Ultra to a class‑leading 19,000 Pa on the P50 Pro Ultra.

P‑series robots arrives with MOVA’s wash‑and‑dry Ultra Dock, so the dock not only empties debris but also hot‑washes and heat‑dries the mop pads and refills the water tank between runs, greatly reducing regular maintenance.

Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance with LiDAR, 3DAdapt Structured Light, and RGB Camera Object Recognition

All three P‑series robots use LiDAR mapping paired with MOVA’s 3DAdapt structured‑light array and an RGB camera for object recognition. The P10 Pro Ultra matches the P10 Ultra feature‑for‑feature here, while the higher-tier P50 Pro Ultra refines the software with a larger object library.

Suction & Anti-Tangle Brushes (8,300Pa to 19,000Pa, CleanChop/TriCut, Extending Side Brush)

Suction power climbs sharply as you move up the range: the P10 Ultra starts at a respectable 8,300Pa, the P10 Pro Ultra jumps to 13,000Pa, and the P50 Pro Ultra tops the chart at 19,000Pa.

The P10 Pro Ultra and the P50 Pro Ultra both include an extending side brush that can lift 10mm to avoid obstacles.

The P10 Ultra and P10 Pro Ultra come with a single rubber brush that can be swapped out with the TriCut anti-tangle brush (sold-separately). The P50 Pro Ultra comes with a CleanChop anti‑tangle roller that also lifts 10 mm (which appears to be identical to the TriCut), so you do not have to purchase the anti-tangle brush separately.

P10 Ultra	P10 Pro Ultra	P50 Pro Ultra
– Single rubber main brush (TriCut compatible – sold separately) – Fixed Side Brush	– Single rubber main brush (TriCut compatible – sold separately) – Extending Side Brush	– CleanCut main brush – included – Extending Side Brush

Dual Spinning Mop Pads with 10mm Lift and RoboSwing Edge Cleaning

All P‑series models rely on dual spinning pads that can raise 10 mm to avoid wetting carpet. The P10 Pro Ultra sticks with this formula but pairs it with the stronger vacuum motor, while the P50 Pro Ultra takes mop automation further by leaving the mop pads in the dock during vacuum-only runs.

Ultra Dock Automation (Auto-Emptying, Hot-Water Pad Washing, Heated Drying & Water Refills)

Both the P10 Ultra and P10 Pro Ultra ship with MOVA’s full Ultra Dock—auto‑emptying, hot‑water pad washing, heated drying, and water‑tank refills.

The P50 Pro Ultra has the added capability of leaving the mop pads in the dock during vacuum only runs.

Smart Features: On-Board Voice Assistant & Live Video Monitoring (P10 Pro Ultra & P50 Pro Ultra)

The P10 Pro Ultra and the P50 Pro Ultra have two features that are new for the MOVA lineup. They both have a built-in voice assistant, and they both have live video call capabilities, two features that bump these models up into the premium category.

In researching this guide, our writer found “Pet Video Monitoring” listed under the P10 Ultra, but other listings and user reviews confirm that this is not the case, so buyers should not expect live video calling or monitoring features on the P10 Ultra.

MOVA E40 Ultra Robot Vacuum Overview (19,000Pa Suction, MaxiReach Mopping, Budget LiDAR Navigation)

Model: E40 Ultra

Core Features of the MOVA E40 Ultra Mid-Range Robot Vacuum

Positioned between the premium P-series models (above) and the entry-level S-series (next), the E40 Ultra introduces a new tier in MOVA’s lineup—pairing high-end cleaning hardware with a more budget-friendly price point. It delivers flagship-level suction and an extending edge-mopping system similar to MOVA’s higher models, but uses a simpler single-laser obstacle avoidance system rather than the structured-light and camera arrays found on the P-series.

The E40 Ultra also debuts MOVA’s new anti-tangle side-brush design, which we have not seen on a MOVA robot before. Combined with a fully automated wash-and-dry dock, the E-series aims to offer strong performance and solid automation while keeping costs down.

Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance with LiDAR Mapping and Single-Laser Object Detection

The E40 Ultra uses LiDAR mapping to build accurate floor plans and maintain orderly cleaning paths, but its obstacle-avoidance system is notably simpler than the setups found on the P-series just above. Instead of MOVA’s 3DAdapt structured-light array or an RGB camera, the E40 relies on a single front-facing laser to detect objects in its immediate path. This allows it to reduce frontal collisions and steer around larger obstacles, though it won’t recognize smaller floor hazards—such as socks, toys, or charging cables—with the same reliability as MOVA’s higher-tier robots.

Suction & Anti-Tangle Side Brush (19,000Pa Performance and Fixed Hair-Resistant Brush Design)

With a 19,000 Pa official suction rating, the E40 Ultra’s suctions specs are on par with the P-series models above it, giving it strong pickup on both hard floors and carpet. It uses a standard rubber main brush for everyday cleaning.

The E40 Ultra uses MOVA’s newly designed tangle-resistant fixed side brush. As the side brush spins, a rubber strip guides hair downward and off the bristles, actively reducing tangles and helping the robot maintain consistent edge performance. It’s a simple mechanical solution, and it’s the only MOVA model in the lineup to use this style of anti-tangle system.

MaxiReach Edge Mopping with 40mm Extension and Adjustable Water Levels

The E40 Ultra uses MOVA’s MaxiReach™ mop arm, which automatically extends outward and downward to clean right up to edges and furniture overhangs. MOVA claims it can reach up to ~4 cm (40 mm) into tight corners and deep under low cabinets. The mop pads are fed by an 80 ml onboard water tank with three adjustable flow levels. The system also features ultrasonic carpet detection, enabling the mop deck to lift approximately 10.5 mm when it detects carpet so that carpets remain dry during vacuuming.

All-in-One Wash-and-Dry Dock with Auto-Emptying and Warm-Air Mop Drying

The E40 Ultra comes with a fully automated all-in-one station that handles core maintenance tasks. The dock automatically empties the dustbin into a sealed bag. Inside the station, the mop pads are scrubbed with room-temperature clean water, and a warm-air drying process to help prevent odors and mildew between runs. Unlike the premium V- and Z-series stations, this dock does not mix cleaning solutions or remove the mop pads for vacuum-only routes, and it does not use warm water to clean the pads, which is a difference from the S20 model.

MOVA S-Series Robot Vacuum Overview (Budget LiDAR Mapping, Vibrating Mop Pad, 7,000–8,300Pa Suction)

Core Features of the MOVA S-Series (S10, S10 Plus, S20 Ultra)

There are three products in the S series: the S10 and S10 Plus (which are essentially the same robot except the S10 has only a charger and the S10 Plus has an auto-empty dustbin in the dock), and the S20 Ultra with more robot features and a mop-washing and drying dock.

The main difference in the S‑series is the mopping systems, which uses a simple vibrating flat microfiber pad with automatic water release rather than the dual spinning disks used on MOVA’s P-series models. This pad needs to be manually removed and washed in the S10 models, but mop washing is automated in the S20 Ultra.

Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance with LiDAR Mapping and 3DAdapt Structured-Light Sensors (RGB on S20 Ultra)

All three S‑series models rely on a LiDAR tower paired with MOVA’s 3DAdapt structured‑light sensor to map your rooms and dodge everyday obstacles.

The S20 Ultra layers on an RGB camera, giving it an extra set of eyes for dirt detection, which MOVA says will trigger a second pass on mopping if the camera senses that dirt levels are high.

Suction & Brush System (7,000–8,300Pa, TriCut-Compatible Brushes, Upgraded Dual Rollers on S20 Ultra)

The entry‑level S10 and its auto‑empty sibling, the S10 Plus, share a 7,000Pa motor and a single rubber main brush that can be swapped out for a TriCut anti-tangle brush (sold separately – this is an upsell feature that may be familiar to users of other premium brands).

Step up to the S20 Ultra and suction jumps to 8,300 Pa, delivered through dual rubber rollers that can lift and lower when needed to reduce hair tangles and improve carpet agitation.

Vibrating Microfiber Mopping System with 7–10.5mm Mop Lift for Carpet Protection

All S‑series robots use the same vibrating microfiber pad, but their clearance over carpet differs. The S10 and S10 Plus lift the pad about 7 mm, which is fine for low‑pile rugs. The S20 Ultra increases that clearance to 10.5 mm, giving you better odds of keeping medium‑pile carpets dry during a mixed‑floor cleaning run.

Docking Options: Charger-Only (S10), Auto-Empty Dock (S10 Plus), and Full Wash-and-Dry Ultra Dock (S20 Ultra)

Here the lineup spreads out. The basic S10 comes with a simple charger—you will empty the robot’s dustbin and refill its water tank by hand. These bins are sized more generously in the S10. The S10 Plus adds a bagged auto‑empty dock, so you touch debris only when you change the dust bags.

The S20 Ultra includes the Ultra dock, which empties the dustbin, refills the water tank, scrubs the mop pad with hot water, and finishes with a heated dry cycle, making it virtually hands‑off between pad changes.
