I had an iRoomba from Costco, had major issues after about 60 days. Returned it, thanks Costco.. and bought a Mova P50 off of Amazon, after spending a ridiculous amount of time reading reviews
The difference is night and day. Mapping feature is very smart, the vacuum power is significantly more powerful, doesnt get stuck and mops. It was also only $500. Check it out.
[Mova P50](https://a.co/d/01B2lQXx)
I bought a mova p50 pro ultra. I like it alot. Its a $799 robot mop vacuum and was able to buy it on Amazon Prime 2 day sale $599. So far very satisfied
Good, I mostly have hard wood floors and some tiles, on those it works better than I would have expected a robot to work. On carpets however it gets confused, I have a white shaggy carpet in the living room which I didn’t expect it to work on from the beginning and it doesn’t as it will not move on it. The other small carpet I have it handles much better but still not perfectly.
I can recommend it if you mostly have hard floors, a friend of mine has bought the same one after seeing how clean the floors are.
I think everyone has a different experience with robots they test, and they're always valid, but I guess I have a few questions about the top picks that are worth discussion.
The P50 has a known hardware problem that people still experience all the time (broken wheel) that can only be fixed by a robot swap. Is that not a concern? I didn't think it was a fantastic robot aside from that, but the hardware problem is a big enough deal not to recommend it.
Your choice for pets and hair doesn't have a razor to cut the hair. I liked the Curv a lot, its one of my favs, but not for this application, because hair got caught around the roller and the sweep. I have long hair, but my dog has short hair, and it was good at getting up short hair, but there are better.
Did you not experience any leaking from the Aqua? I did and I know a few others did as well.
some thoughts. first, buy it next week since most are on [sale.](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nvsulx/comment/nhmjcxj/?context=1) Some thoughts on the models above: the p50 has a known hardware problem that they never seem to solve. Skip it. The S70 is a gimmick and separately, not a great vacuum. Trying to be too much. The Aqua 10 is fine, but leaks for a lot of people. I like the x9 or the 10R as options.... the Dreame models you noted aren't my favs.
We've had it nearly two months and we haven't had to empty it yet despite owning a labrador! I do take the filter out of the vacuum and compressed air spray it once a month as well as general vac maintenance because dog hair gets everywhere
After tearing my proverbial hair out we ended up with the Mova P50 Ultra with my Labrador that sheds CONSTANTLY. We ran it two or three times a day for the first couple days, cleaned out the filter and dust bin then set it to once a day scheduled. I no longer have to brush fur off my socks before I put my shoes on! Corner cleaning, self emptying, even mops
I will say that while it claims to be anti hair (and it is! To an extent) I always take the roller out and clean the machine once a month to prevent build up because lab hair gets everywhere
We have a Mova P50 Ultra and for the first time since I got him I don't have to worry about dog hair on my socks when I put my shoes on. It's been the best investment ever. My dog doesn't poop in the house though, and he comes to work with me so it's set up on a timer to run when we're both out so there's no potential Poopsasters.
Our P50 Ultra Mova is generally pretty good, but it does like to eat the occasional stray cord. I came home once to find it had eaten our egg cooker cord that was accidentally left dangling and had dragged it half way across the living room. Fun times. Everything still worked after fortunately. It also liked to eat a singular cord under the bed no matter how tucked out of the way it was. I said liked, because we had it for three months then had to send it in for repair and it's been gone for almost as long as we had it.
Mova P50 Ultra vs a Lab that sheds twice a year for six months at a time: beautiful, gold dust, no notes.

Mova P50 Ultra and we never have issues, it waddles around once a day and we no longer step on dog hair. The machine also specifically has an anti tangle roller bar iirc.
Mova P50 Ultra with our lab nooms around once a day, mops where I tell I to and even braves under the couch and we no longer have fur on our feet when we walk.
Kittens are basically feral garbage trunks and no one can convince me otherwise lmao, but what I like on the Mova is you can tell it how wet you want the floor to be. To stop our floor bloating (rental and laminate) I keep it on the dries in a couple minutes level wet and it still gets a ton of crap up when it mops. It also has a cute little extendable mop leg to get into corners which I like to cackle at
Our Mova has mopping but it's not a *requirement* per say, I believe you can run it with the mop pads off. It's been stronger than our beat up old vacuum though, there's no hair on our rugs or our hardwood flooring and it's rated I think at like 19k

Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.
