MOVA - Mobius 60

the mops are not as wet as you think. they dry in like 20 seconds max after passing the area. If you are really worried about it I would recommend the mobius or matrix (as both support a dedicated wood floor cleaner and mop pads that are theoretically better for wooden floors). I have the Matrix (it doesn't path that well under low obstacles and is more expensive than the mobius, so I am going to return it and try the mobius. Otherwise it cleans pretty well.

You will not find any that have a fabulous customer service. I am very happy with the Mobius 60 so far. I also have tried the dreame matrix 10, mova z60, narwal flow, and the dream aqua 10 roller. The rollers mop a little better (but all had failures within a month, except the narwal which couldn't map my house well and got stuck under my furniture).

MOVA’s P50s, V50, V60 Mobius, Z60 have fur compression

Perhaps the MOVA Mobius 60? I saw it at 999 and the pressure retention baffle for carpets seems to do better based on justadad’s videos and a German review on low pile carpet, especially if it’s high pile. You can also set it to lift up by 1cm or so so it can cross and clean 3cm carpets.

Since you have a 50/50 split of carpet and hard floors and prioritize hands-off maintenance, the MOVA Mobius 60 would ideally be my top recommendation. It features a pressure retention baffle that creates a better vacuum seal on carpets, which is great for the carpeted half of your house. However, the price unfortunately jumped back up to $1,599 after Black Friday, which puts it outside your $1,300 limit. Given that constraint, I’d recommend looking at the MOVA V50 Ultra (currently ~$779). It is extremely hands-off (very quiet, self-cleaning maintenance) and fits comfortably within your budget. You miss out on the pressure retention baffle and the automatic mop-swapping capability of the Mobius 60, but it is otherwise a very similar machine for significantly less money. You can read my detailed review of the V50 here to see if it fits your needs: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1mmdaw4/still_not_perfect_but_my_dog_and_i_think_the_mova/ Full disclosure: MOVA sent me these units to test and keep as part of their Reddit collaboration program. They had no editorial control over my review. If you do decide the V50 is the right fit, code MOTMOV50 gets you an extra $20 off at their official store bringing the price down to $779. Hope this helps!~

Shouldn’t the Mobius get over an inch? You need to set the lip as a crossable threshold

3.6 inches/9.1cm is quite a generous clearance. If you worry about it being good at avoiding things, brands like DJI, dreame, eufy, matic, mova, Narwal, will fare better than ecovacs and roborock at obstacle avoidance. Out of the brands I listed, dreame/mova models with a spinning mop and a retracting lidar will fit. If you’re okay with tidying up, ecovacs (t50) and roborock (Saros lineup, Curv X) also have options that are also short enough to fit under there. As for long hair, dreame/MOVA and roborock do better mainly because they rely on the airflow directing any tangled hair into the dustbin instead of combing it like ecovacs.

The mova v60 is able to handle the hair of 2 golden retrievers with no clogs so far. (Knock on wood)

Spinners are here to stay. They're going to make up most of the mid-range and low-end and people are going to keep buying them for years to come. I've tried the MOVA V60 and the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller. The MOVA does a better job than the Dreame, but I don't feel it's any better than the Eufy S1 Pro.

All the flagships do hardwoods well. Just make sure you set it appropriately in the map as you don't want to saturate real wood. A few of the bots even have hardwood specific detergent dispensers like the MOVA Mobius 60, Dreame Matrix and Narwal Freo Z/Z10 Ultra (optional cartridge required).

There's no way the Flow or Aqua leaves more water on the floor than an actual mop. The track-style mop pad or roller just doesn't hold as much water as a regular kitchen mop and their onboard water tanks are relatively small. The point of LVP is it's durable and waterproof. If you had actual hardwood, I would understand the concern but not LVP. If your LVP was installed correctly, you shouldn't have an issue.

I ended up with MOVA Mobius 60. My Roomba 705 Max combo had the rolling mop and I was happy with it but I did notice it having issues like dirt and debris getting jammed up into the collection tank which resulted in the robot leaving the floors to wet or it wasnt able to empty the dirty water tank from the robot and left a dock error, now I thought this was just a Roomba issue until I heard a handful of reviewers and other owners mention the same thing, Just a Dad mentioned its due to these being 1st gen mops so they have issues they need to work out so I went ahead and just got the Mobius with the spinning mops. Its nice the vac has the baffles that help get a better suction when vacuuming the carpets as well. Im worried the achielinion tendon is going to be this mop changer, but so far all the early reviews haven't had any issues so knock on wood it will be fine.

its a total gamble. had a no-name brand beformy mova vacuum and it was a disaster. spending a bit more on a known brand is 100% worth it for the brainy features. excited to see what they have on sale for black friday.

personally I’ve tried ecobot / debot (?) and roborock, and I’ve had much better performance/reliability/navigation with roborock. I just got a Mova (same company as Dreame apparently) and used it for two days and it seems good so far - app not as good but fine, navigation maybe not quite as good, and hardware might be slightly more “sloppy” - like noisy, clunky, etc., but seems good overall. Actually the Mova seems to have better object recognition probably, although it doesn’t deal with carpets as well so far. anyway….. my experience is that roborock is pretty solid.. other ones, there are good ones I’m sure, but I would be more cautious and read a lot of reviews.
