I was hella disappointed in the gen 2, seems worse then the gen 1, probably the only good thing is that it’s gonna make the gen 1 price drop
They removed the camera at the front, so I’m pretty sure no obstacle avoidance, and the new brush you can just put on the gen 1. The suction is better, but I think it would be more worth it to save money and just get the gen 1 now that it will be cheaper
The camera lets it actually identify objects, without it it kinda just uses the laser to see if theres anything there, if you look from like the 6 minute mark and forward oin vacuum nerds new videos you can see that hte gen 2 is alot worse then the gen 1 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrSR\_geERmw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrSR_geERmw) (might be something they could possible fix in software tho i just dont know)
Yeah, thats what i was thinking, to me obstacle avoidance is pretty important cause its pretty helpful if the robot doesn't eat cables.
Brand new prob mova p10 pro ultra gen 2 Refurbished you could do with a old flagship of dreame like the x40 Roborocks budget models are absolutely shit, they don’t get decent unless you spend at least 600+, and don’t get really good unless u spend 800+, if you wanna save money, just go for a diff brand. There are pluses to spending extra on a Roborock, like better customer support and they just feel more premium sometimes, but I would highly recommend just going for a diff brand unless u tryna spend 800+
I don’t know the exact price but it seems to be like 500-600. If you want a brand new option, the MOVA is a good choice, if you want a camera, the gen 1 has One, but it has slightly worse cleaning.
The robot still has lidar for navigation, it’s mainly for obstacle avoidance, most robots use a camera and like image detection to find objects, the MOVA gen 2 has Some sorta obstacle avoidance sensor at the front that can only tell if there’s something in front, so it can’t like go around and find pets or identify obstacles, all it can do is sense them. Camera detection can be better or worse It all depends on the model, but if you don’t need a camera for pets or anything, I think the gen 2 is perfectly fine.
Mova p10 pro ultra, nothing as good for this price point (Gen 2 if you want better cleaning, gen 1 if you want better obstacle avoidance) Edit: ignore what I said about the gen 1, js get the gen 2
I would probably reccomend the mova p10 pro ultra, gen 1 if you want better obstacle avoidance, gen 2 if you want better cleaning.
Mova p10 pro ultra gen 2 probably, don’t get the eufy, not having a extending side brush is pretty bad.
Eufy e25 is on sale right now for 599 on Amazon, if you can spend the lil bit extra, I would highly recommend it. It is a roller mop so kinda mop focus, but it will mop well for hardwood. If you really don’t want a mop that much you could also just get a mova p10 pro ultra gen 2. I would say look at vacuumwars.com You can look at their hair tangling tests and vacuumin tests.
Probably the Mova P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2, A lil over budget, but its def worth it in my opinion. You could also get hte gen 1 as its cheaper now.
That's a terrible recommendation for their case, they specifically said they want a roller, and the mova p10 pro gen 2 has terrible obstacle avoidance, which makes it more of a hassle to use.
I didnt really care about rollers, I tried a mova p10 gen 2, it kepts tryna eat all my cables, I just returned it and decided to just splurge and get CurvX that was on sale for 700-800 or smth like that.
Id say your best options are probably the Mova P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2 or the Roborock Curv S5x
Did u put a tri cut brush on it so it doesn’t get tangled? Or does it not really get tangled with the default rubber brush.
Obstacle avoidance on the gen 2 is shit. Its also not really worth the extra money for the gen 2 over the gen 1, its not thaat much of a boost in cleaning performance. If you want something better then the gen 1, you should just spend enough for the eufy e25, it usually goes on sale for 599.
You should probably return it if you just baught it, roomba as a brand is so far behind the other brand like dreame and Roborock and movva, that’s litterly why roomba went bankrupt. For around thr same price if not cheaper you can get the movva p10 pro ultra which has way more features
I’m not tryna be mean, but you should definetly try a brand like Roborock or dreame at least once, they are wayyyy better, roomba is so behind in the robot vacuum industry, that’s the reason they went bankrupt and were bought buy some other Chinese robot vacuum brand. The MOVA p10 pro ultra is very well priced, and has so many good features that roomba just doesn’t have even on their more expensive vacuums.
It took away the rgb camera I think so costs savings to add in the other fancy upgrades. At least the image of the gen2 on amazon did not have the Ai text above the cameras spot anymore and was missing the night time fill led. 26,000 PA 1 Hour Eco Dry 212 Degree PTC Hot Mop Washing TurboPress Tech with 12N of pressure, 260RPM
I have heard bad things about the gen 2. Get the gen 1 if available. We love ours. Have had it since Black Friday.
If you have the budget get two of the Ultra 40 AE models. If not get two of the Mova P10. That’s the models I would have picked. I ended up due to budget with the p10 ultra. And so far love it.
Our neighbor has that shark and it’s trash. Can never find its homebase and doesn’t do jack for cleaning. And I am a a huge shark/ninja fan. We have a 22 week old frenchie and got the Mova P10 Pro Ultra and have really liked it.
There are actually a few robot vacuums in this price range now that feel surprisingly close to flagship models. Second vote for mova p10 gen2. I got mine not too long ago. It's said that it's the second-generation version of one of mova's most popular models. I compared it with the Dreame L40 Gen 2 and the Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A and I ended up going with it. On paper, it outperformed the other options and it also checked more boxes for you. The 26,000Pa suction is more than enough for pulling cat hair out of my carpets. It also washes the mop pads with hot water and dries them afterward, so it hasn't had any odor issues. As for edge cleaning, it works well with the cat litter in corners. Very occasionally, I might need to touch up a spot by hand. Another practical reason I chose it: it provides with a three-year warranty, while most brands only offer two.
How thick are your area rugs? Tassled? I've got a MOVA P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2. It does the mop pad lifting thing so as to not get your carpets wet, but the small mat in the bathroom has thick enough edges that they rull up under the vac. The similarly sized, but thinner and tassled rug in the kitchen is not an issue. This is a recent addition to the house (replacing a Shark), and I've been VERY impressed with it. With the caveat that robo vacs are 'maintenance', and that you still have to manually vacuum periodically, I was checking my stick vac for clogs because it's not pulling nearly as much 'left behind' dirt out of the carpet that it did after the Shark had a go. Full admit: I run it on max suction all the time because why wouldn't I? Cat population is 2 short, 1 long - hu-pop is 1 short, 3 long, and 1 is-that-you-miss-gayle. I got the optional "tri cut" brush (standard on the V50 model, I think) and haven't had a single hair tangle after 2+ weeks of daily vacuuming.
3 cats (2 shorthair, 1 longhair) 2 kids (1 shorthair, 1 working toward longhair) 1 kid's SO (very much longhair) 1 spouse (standard-ish longhair) 1 self (shorthair) A couple of weeks into ownership of the Mova P10 Pro Ultra Gen2, upgraded to the tri-cut brush. It's been game changing. Hair tangles burned out the 1st Wyze (daily vac, replaced under warranty, this was where I learned about maintaining the vac), so I was constantly monitoring/cleaning the 2nd Wyze until it died an unrelated death. The Shark (replaced the 2nd Wyze) was easier to remember to maintain because it's software is such a pile of gosa that I ran it manually instead of scheduling, but it's brush assembly was actually more of a pain to 'de-hair' than the Wyze Neither of those was self emptying. The P10 has been wonderful. What little bit of hair collects around 1 end falls off on it own, and is minimal. The few times I've paused the vac to look at its bin before emptying back into the dock, it's got the hair all in there. You didn't ask, but seeing you've got some hard flooring, the mopping action is very nice as well.
Apologies. Just realizing I wasn't completely clear. It was the reviews of the Gen1 that put me on that model, but I went with the Gen2 (no camera). On the gen2, the height of the object seems to make the most difference in my experience. If it's less than an inch. it'll probably roll over it. When my kid leaves his slippers in the middle of the floor of the kitchen hall, it will back up and go out the door it came in and to the 'other way around' the kitchen instead of through it. I've seen various reports that the gen1 is ***much*** better at object recognition, and others that say 'not so much'. My gen 2 will absolutely roll over/suck up cords and socks. Shoes are 'tall' enough for it to 'see'.
The Mova P10 Pro Ultra removed the camera in the Gen 2, and there is a tri-cut brush/roller replacement available that looks like it actually cuts the hair as it wraps around.
I got the Mova 10 pro plus about a month ago from the company direct and love it. Please note there are two versions: one has +/-8500pa suction and the other +/- 10,000pa suction (can't remember the exact numbers though). It too washes the mops with hot water and heat dries them. İ would want the attachment to auto fill and empty the water but can't do that because we're in a rentaİ. I have pets and Turkish carpets. Goes around the pets and lifts the mops while going over the rugs. I actually have it on increased power while vacuuming the rugs. Fringes have not been an issue. I used to have a just-vacuum robot but this one is so much better! my house never looked cleaner. Scheduled cleanings are the best! One issue that I encountered, hopefully a one-time fluke was it dropped the mops for no obvious reason but it told me to put them back on! then continued to work where it left off so no issue there. İ empty the dirty water after it's done cleaning right away because once i forgot and it was really stinky the next morning (when i opened the lid to empty), otherwise no obvious smell.
İ have the move P10 pro. I noticed the fringe portion of my handmade rugs were getting a beating. Anyone use a special setting to avoid the fridges? I now have to lift off the ends of the rugs using the chairs. I wish i could get it to recognize them as "fabric" to avoid it....
Mova P10 Pro gen 1 and it's not even close. Pretty much does everything the expensive boys do, but at an astonishingly great price. Gen 2 has lackluster upgrades and a few downgrades. Gen 1 is $449 on Amazon right now.
The largest is the removal of the RGB camera- thats a brutal loss for obstical avoidance
Short list from many reviews and my super short experience with one: they use a ton of water for no reason which really hinders mopping performance, AI avoidance is worse than 3 year old roborocks, robot will make absolutely dogwater decisions compared to other brands, and the overall hardware is generations behind their competition There is absolutely no reason to get one when the Mova P10 pro exists at $400 (less than Shark's $600 "flagship" while the P10 has a better app, navigation effrcency, mopping, AI obstacle avoidance that actually works, extendable corner arm, hot water mop cleaning, better tangle resistance [though both are meh]). If you spend $600 you can upgrade to a P50 pro ultra which adds better suction, auto adding detergent, anti tangle brush, and even better obstacle avoidance. i’m not saying you should regret your decision if you bought one, you just asked for reasons and I wanted to give them because there are valid reasons if you’re buying you to avoid one. If you already have one, they’re completely fine and are actually great at carpet care, it’s just if you’re in the market right now there is no reason to purchase one as the competition has better preformers for less.
I’ve been really happy with the Mova P10 Pro Ultra so far, I have the Gen 1 but for $150 more the Gen 2 has superior suction power for your rug area. Very reasonably priced for the feature set IMO.
I have 3 dogs, two Pyrenees one husky, and have had good luck with the Mova P10 Pro Ultra WITH the cutter brush upgrade. This is after owning a Yeedi M14 (basically an EcoVacs X8 rebranded) and a Roborock QX Revo. Also the obstacle avoidance in my experience has been superior with the integrated camera than without.
Update: the Mova P10 Pro Ultra is in and the Yeedi M14 is gone. I’ve only done a small test run so far and it seemed to handle the toe ticks reasonably well (extended the side brush and mop, much further than the Yeedi, but not all the way to the edge). I will be trying U/Neat-Tennis-8492 suggestion later tonight by marking these cabinets as curtains.
