MOVA - Z60 Ultra Roller Robot Vacuum Cleaner

I just grabbed the mova z60. I'm in Canada, but Amazon US has it for 1099$, marked down from 1499$. It gets great reviews, has a roller mop that gets washed as it's cleaning the floor so you're not just spreading dirt around. Mova is dreame's budget line. This is similar to the aqua 10, but gets better reviews!

By the time we unboxed it yesterday, there wasn't time to get a full charge before my kids went to bed. So we charged it overnight and ran it this morning. Because I did the initial setup a bit wrong the first map was a bit wonky. So o deleted the map and this time sent it on a fast mapping mission which worked well. Then did a vacuum followed by mopping - I have pets so don't want to do both at the same time and want to ensure the floor is fully clean first. I will say we were very impressed. But we were coming from an i7 Roomba which was super loud. Both the vacuuming and the auto empty. The z60 to me is pretty dang quiet. It's a mild background hum rather than a huge vacuum noise. It does power up on the area rugs a bit but even then it wasn't particularly noisy. It also did a great job getting onto our ruggable rugs, which our previous roombas often struggled with. Not only that, it broke out the extended spinning sweeper to get all along the edge of the thicker ruggable rug! And although it did get caught up on the rugs a bit, it was smart enough to figure out how to maneuver to get onto the rug. Vacuuming experience was very good. Super happy. Same with mopping. The amount of grunge in the waste water was surprising, esp since we mopped not too long ago! The floors look great, and the small stains around the dishwasher from loading it (I left them purposefully to see how it would manage), are all totally gone. Our upstairs has our bedrooms with all carpet. For some reason the carpets in the bedrooms are slightly different than the hallway, and they are super hard to get hair off of. My very old non intelligent Roomba could do a decent job because it had one brush with bristles, but the tangled mess had to be cleaned almost every time. The i7 couldn't pick up anything on the hallway rug much less the bedroom ones. The z60 did a great job on both hallways and bedrooms. There were a couple bits left in one room, but generally I was very pleased! One of the double rollers has both the soft plastic and some small bristles, so I think that made a big difference. I checked for tangles and couldn't see anything, so that was very positive. We are a busy household with sometimes up to seven kids around (I do daycare), two dogs, and I have very long hair. This machine will be run on the main floor to vacuum at least once a day, sometimes twice, with mopping done likely every other day, except when it's wetter outside, then it'll be every day. So far so good. I might write a post on a month to share my thoughts a bit more, but right now? We are happy clams.

I had both the Aqua 10 for Z60. Th Aqua 10 l leaked at the base station and was returned. The Z60 always gut stuck on cantilever chairs and crossed a room divider (baby gate) that I didn't want to cross. It too was returned. The S1 Pro had none of these issues and performed flawlessly. Waiting for any new robot is a crap shoot until the bugs are worked out. The S1 Pro is now refined and tested.

I would stay away from the Aqua 10 if you have pets we have a dog and a cat also one woll carpet the robot got clogged 5 out of 10 times. It is slow and annoying with constant washing and charging. On top of that it will leak water and destroy you floor under. With spinning mops and newer dreame and mova robots you will have no problem with pets. After our enconter with track and rolling mops i do not want to ho back to pads anymore. Z60 has also small opening for emptying I would be careful buying that. Now I have x9 running in our home and I am pleasantly supprised... Not perfect but alot more usable in our large home with pets. I am contemplating is I should keep the x9 or upgrade to x11 as it was crowned as best robot for pets in vacuumwars... https://preview.redd.it/mxlydqbiamzf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=930cb79e009a79fc0c7e3cdd6130b78786f56d9f

The eufy S1 Pro, Narwal flow, and the MOVA Z60 Ultra/Z50 Ultra are much better at wet messes. Ecovacs has been known to suffer from a lot of issues (check Jamie Andrews’ videos about it).

Dreame’s track type roller mop robot is a huge improvement over the Z50 ultra. QoL: binocular RGB cameras mean it can navigate as smoothly as the Narwal Freo Z and won’t need to go backwards to gauge the distance and size of an obstacle; retracting lidar brings it down to 9.75cm which is shorter than the MOVA Z50 ultra; dustbin and dustbag drying at 50° means no gross stuff like dust mites will grow if you live in a humid environment; ProLeap system on the x50 ultra is here; UV light disinfection for inside the dustbag and mops Vacuuming: it has the new dual brushes and the live fur compression feature, increase in pascal but I don’t think that’s really meaningful but reviews are showing it vacuums well Mopping: much better edge cleaning with the extendable mop even if the pressure decreases when it is extended it is more than enough for a bit of dust on the edges for most homes; there is an onboard water heater that brings the water up to 45°C (the Narwal flow is actually filled with 45°C water so reviewers found the actual temperature when mopping is about 30°C); refillable duo solution tank means it’ll be able to neutralize pet odors (MOVA z50 ultra only has one disposable detergent cartridge) and the frequency of its use can be customized by the user; mop self cleaning is greatly improved with 100°c mop washing (validated by reviews) with a PTC heating strip at the bottom of the mop washing tray. Tradeoffs from X50 Ultra: no more filter self cleaning so it is easier to clog than the dreame and MOVA robots with this feature; spinning mops will reach edges better and can go under toe kicks easier; louder at mopping; can’t remove mop when vacuuming carpets.

I'd mainly look at the MOVA V50 Ultra for the dustbin/dustbag drying function to prevent odor and mildew. MOVA sent me their MOVA V50 Ultra in exchange for a [review](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1mmdaw4/still_not_perfect_but_my_dog_and_i_think_the_mova/) and creating content on Reddit. I do have a heavily shedding long-haired corgi, and it helps a lot. Turning on hair compression and setting it to autoempty at high frequency (about once every 12sqm/130sqft) will help you a lot. I do find autoemptying loud enough to make my corgi perk his ears up, but it autoempties well. However, I'd also consider the MOVA Z60 Ultra, coming to the US and currently for sale in Western Europe, mainly because its roller mop's self cleaning and much higher mopping downward force at 17N (the V50 is at 8N) is going to make it best suited for muddy paw prints. However, the dustbin is 210mL, much smaller than the V50's so I expect it to heavily rely on autoemptying on the high frequency setting. Once I receive my Z60 Ultra, I'll put it through its paces and post a review :) > You must vacuum the whole house before mopping. Otherwise it'll just glue wet pet hair to the floor as it mops It's best to run a combo robot vacuum and mop, vacuuming first, then mopping, to avoid this issue. Trust me, I've experimented with so many settings, and vacuuming first before mopping greatly helps. The amount of glued on fur and hair I found when my old robot vacuumed and mopped at the same time turned my hardfloor home into a carpeted home...

Mopping capability: the MOVA Z60 ultra and the Dreame Aqua 10 ultra track Vacuuming: they should all be about the same (the Aqua 10 pro track is more prone to picking up debris with the mop though) Mapping and navigation is going to be firmware dependent.

Yes but it looks like this is mainly an issue for large debris and fur. This is also the reason why MOVA didn’t release the Z60 Ultra, not to be confused with the Z60 Ultra Roller Complete, which has a track mop and was shown at IFA 2025. MOVA said they are still working on a mop cover for a track type roller mop.

I think the vacuuming internal for the z60 ultra should be different.

I have received the V50 Ultra and the Z60 Ultra Roller from MOVA for testing as part of their Reddit collaboration program. However, I have no paid relationship with them or any other brand, including Dreame. My recommendations are always based on finding the best performance and value for a specific market. I recommended these models based on independent reviews (like those from Jamie Andrews) long before I had any contact with MOVA. That's why my advice changes depending on the region. For example, I'd recommend the Narwal Freo Z Ultra (€549) for hard floors in Western Europe, or the Roborock QRevo Master when it was on sale for $1699 AUD in Australia, as both were incredible bargains compared to other flagships.

> ⁠Low noise levels (since someone will always be at home when the vacuum is running). I found the Z60 ultra roller to be acceptably quiet but louder than the V50 at about 57-60dB when vacuuming on turbo mode but acceptably quiet at 50-55dB ish when vacuuming on standard and about 54-56dB when mopping. It generally uses less water than the V50 ultra even when I set it to clean its mop on the deep setting.

Yes on standard suction in my home.

As for maintenance of roller mops, I found that fur generally tends to wrap around the roller mop’s motor. As part of my testing of the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller that MOVA sent me as part of their Reddit collaboration program, I ran the robot to vacuum first then mop to make sure the mop is in contact with as little fur as possible for at least 1000sqm (100,000sqft) and the only maintenance I did was refill and empty the water tanks and checked the dustbin. My findings: unlike the V50 Ultra with spinning mops and my older spinning mop robot, a lot more fur ended up in the mopping compartment. There was no fur wrapped around the roller mop pad itself, likely because the combs in the mopping compartment did their job. However, some fur managed to sneak into the roller mop motor and tangled around the fluffing roller and its axles which made mopping so much louder when it was mopping as quietly as the V50 Ultra. I also wish it was easier to clean under the roller mop motor area as the track type roller mops moving bits are removable so you can clean under there. The app did give me a prompt to clean the fluffing roller but I ignored it. My advice to those that have homes with heavily shedding pets is to act on the app’s reminders to clean the fluffing roller. Photo description: Here is a close-up photo of the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller robot mop’s motor area. You can see pet fur tangled around the cylindrical fluffing roller and its axles, with printed disassembly instructions visible on the robot’s underside. https://preview.redd.it/qwcyqmikutqf1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c667a5d0f43c32c7643d72cfad6f07b510d0f228

I was approached by MOVA about the Reddit collaboration project. I think it’s important to test robots like a regular person so we know what to expect when it comes to taking care of it. There would have been less fur tangled around the fluffing roller if I followed the regular reminders. The mop washboard definitely had more fur compared to the V50 Ultra’s mop washboard. https://preview.redd.it/gqghgm2s9xqf1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c23ac44fad8eea04fabe9347c0bb4c55cf7e5ad

I’d check out the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller. Roller mops are generally more forgiving when used on a different level as they can at least somewhat clean themselves for a while before needing you to bring it back to the base station to refill its water tank and to clean the mop. MOVA sent me their robot as part of their Reddit collaboration program and I’m doing my testing with it. My opinions on this are honest and MOVA doesn’t get to make me read off a spec list. This model does well with fur. I have a heavily shedding. long haired corgi and long haired people in my home and the brushes never got tangled with fur, even after it’s worked for 129k sqft. Although the dustbin is smaller than its spinning mop cousin the V50 Ultra, setting it to autoempty frequently (about once very 130-150sqft) helps a lot and so does the fur compression for fur. A note: unlike its spinning mop cousin, you’d have to give it more care regarding its roller mop. I found that fur didn’t get tangled around the roller mop itself but tangled on the fluffing roller and on the motor that drives the roller mop, even when the robot was set to vacuum first then mop. I’d still run this robot to vacuum first then mop as it leaves the floors and robots cleaner in the long run.

I haven’t seen this issue to be widespread on the MOVA z50 ultra (I check Chinese social media and many other social media platforms). Testing the Z60 Ultra Roller now and will let you know if this issue happens with my unit.

I only have very initial impressions of it as it hasn’t run long enough for me to make a holistic judgement about it yet. Setup and mapping was just as easy as the V50 Ultra Mop is fluffy! Also comes with a rather sizable accessory kit like the V50 Vacuums and mops as quietly as the MOVA V50 Ultra Heavier than the V50 Ultra Smaller dustbin to accommodate the roller mop. Autoempty frequency when set to high frequency is once every 12-14sqm, like the V50 ultra. This robot also has fur compression which helps for homes with heavily shedding pets. Haven’t noticed any issues with it clogging with my long haired corgi’s fur when fur compression and autoempty frequency is set to high frequency. A smidge too tall to reach under my kitchen cabinets whereas my V50 Ultra could lower its lidar tower and clean under there. This is because the height of the Z60 Ultra Roller is taller at 9.6cm with the lidar retracted and my V50 is shorter at 8.9cm with the lidar retracted. I’m mourning the loss of the OmniDry system which was on the V50 ultra where it can dry the dustbin and dustbag to avoid odors Mop drying takes longer on the Z60 Ultra Roller with a minimum of 3 hours to 5 hours compared to the V50 Ultra that can take as little as 1-3 hours to finish drying the mop. I’ve chalked it up to the roller mop design inherently having less surface area exposed for the warm air to dry the mop. DuoSolution tank works as expected. No stinky dog smell on floors. Mopped my kitchen floor with dried on grease from the night before and was noticeably grease free afterwards. Haven’t tested: AutoShield roller mop cover for carpets. I like how it also covers the roller mop when just vacuuming to avoid the roller mop from catching any fur and dirt.

I think a roller mop is more suitable for tile and ceramic floors. I’ve had both the MOVA V50 ultra and the Z60 Ultra Roller. MOVA sent me these models as part of their Reddit collaboration program. They don’t pay for my opinion to regurgitate a sales brief so my opinion on this is honest. The V50 ultra is more hands off but its battery is definitely not enough for your home without needing to recharge halfway. If that doesn’t matter, it’ll definitely do a good job of everyday cleaning but it uses more water than the Z60 ultra roller as it needs to wash its mops more often but it is easier to clean. The Z60 ultra roller has delivered better everyday mopping which I could feel with my feet. I never had a build quality issue with either. I’d also buy these robots from a reputable retailer so returns will be easy.

Yes I’d get the Z60 Ultra Roller. I’ve made it go through the wringer (3000sqm) and I haven’t noticed anything go awry unlike most “reviewers” who test it only up to at best 1000 minutes (which is about 500sqm so usually the size of half a home), no shade.

There’s definitely the self selecting bias when it comes to posting about someone’s experience with a product. However, unlike the Aqua 10 roller which has a known and widespread leaking base station due to a bad design (which is definitely their problem), I genuinely am not seeing a common thread tying together bugs with the MOVA Z60 Ultra roller and the issues aren’t frequently posted enough about not just on Reddit but on Chinese and Korean social media for me to say these are widespread nor due to a design flaw. The points about maintenance, corner and edge cleaning are also important which I’ve already noted in my article about different mop types on vacuum wars’ blog. However the increase in effort needed to clean the roller mop compartment and onboard dirty water tank compared to the V50 which was essentially hands off is still relatively low at being once every two-three weeks (when run daily in my experience), especially when compared to my first robot with spinning mops but a basic charging station. Can MOVA and other brands improve the self cleaning and the edge cleaning aspect of roller mop robots? Absolutely. As for corner cleaning, I’m afraid that aspect will have to be sacrificed for roller mop robots as they still need somewhere to put their dirty water tank which means the mop can’t be at the very end of the robot like spinning mops. The battery consumption on the Z60 Ultra Roller has been better than the V50 Ultra.

I’d prioritize a robot with antitangle rollers, decent mopping (usually starting at the 500 USD range), and an easy to clean robot. Really good midrange option: dreame l40 ultra or the MOVA p10 pro ultra at about 500. They’ll deliver the best bang for buck performance. The x40 ultra should also be in this price range. It should come with an antitangle TriCut brush that works but generally makes it louder. The most expensive options have quieter antitangle rollers as they don’t cut the tangled hair but direct it to the dustbin with their tapered end. A bit more expensive but better mopping: the eufy e25 at 629 USD has antitangle brush rollers that work and a decent roller mop. do ask Eufy’s customer support for their updates dirty water component as the one the first gen ones ship with have a leaking issue. I don’t see any other robot in this price range that mops better. Most expensive with the best mopping that doesn’t really come at the cost of vacuuming pet fur at 999: the MOVA Z60 Ultra SA has antitangle rollers and a good roller mop that can extend to clean closer to edges with antitangle combs on the roller mop to prevent tangling. It’s very similar to the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller which is more expensive with the only difference being threshold crossing wheels but the mopping is the same. MOVA sent me their Z60 ultra roller to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program and I found it to mop really well with no tangles anywhere other than fur wrapped around the fluffing roller which you need to clean once every 30 working hours (the app reminds you).

From what I’m seeing the Dreame Aqua 10 roller/ultra roller has a design flaw which will make it leak water from its base station. The MOVA Z60 Ultra roller has a different mop washboard and hence doesn’t have this issue and I did not notice it in my extensive testing.

I also have some things I don’t like about the MOVA Z60 ultra roller which will be in my review~~~

I wouldn’t put any hope on the stair climber module being compatible as there’s no info on it yet. I did find that long hair (waist length) never tangles but it likes to get stuck at the autoempty door. Mopping is the main standout feature of this robot. I was more amazed by how dirty the water was in its dirty water tank after mopping. After feeeing my long haired corgi dog friendly ice cream, he left ice cream marks all over the floor and the Z60 ultra got like 80% of the dried on marks in one go and the rest of it in its second go. I’d definitely run it to vacuum first then mop or you’ll have hair tangled on the fluffing roller (not fun to remove). As for obstacle avoidance it thankfully veered more on the edge of caution when it came to identifying what it nicely called “uncleanable stains”. Would still check before a run just in case though. I do find at it can be rather loud, especially on carpets when the carpet boost is on but it lifts up so much more fine dust compared to my old Xiaomi combo robot I think it’s a worthwhile tradeoff. The filter did clog with fine dust rather quickly though so this was the main care I did. You can also change maps and move the base station up and down (carrying the water tanks separately).

Mainly the louder noise and needing to clean nooks and crannies in the Robots mop roller compartment and the mop washboard (compared to the V50). Luckily it’s easy to clean this area with a brush to sweep out the dried debris and collect it in one go with a wet wipe. https://preview.redd.it/2fmcif8sjhtf1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b96fc8e3bb1fb4ecca1483c1d61c80f6475c1616 But if this is the price for noticeably cleaner floors I think it’s worth it.

I own the MOVA Z60 ultra roller and the MOVA V50 ultra that MOVA sent me as part of their Reddit collaboration program. I have a long haired corgi that leaves sticky drool + sticky food messes like ice cream when I spoil him.

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.

> So my question - which robot (if any) can help with already wet floors? The MOVA Z50 ultra (1999) and the MOVA z60 ultra (2999) roller has a water stain mopping mode you can use where the mop won’t add any extra water and will try its best to absorb as much as possible. I use it after my dog drinks his water. I’d wait for a sale. Do note there is a docking issue with the z50 ultra due to some design flaw.

Most robots can reach under 10cm but it’ll be harder if it is under 9cm. Currently not aware of any robots with a roller mop under 9cm. Only robots with spinning or vibrating mops are available at heights lower than 9cm. MOVA did send me their MOVA Z60 ultra roller complete and their V50 ultra complete to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program. I cook a lot so dried kitchen stains are frequent. Both get rid of dried on grease well in one pass when mopping with detergent. The Z60 ultra roller complete was able to get rid of tougher stains like dried on dog ice cream splatters with most gone in one pass and completely removed on the second pass and dried on Dijon mustard (10mL) with the first pass rehydrating the stain and removing a good chunk, the second pass removing most of it, and the third pass completely getting rid of it. The V50 ultra complete is shorter with its lidar retracted at 8.9.5cm and the Z60 ultra is at 9.6cm with the lidar retracted. Since the Z60 ultra uses a cylindrical roller mop, it can’t swing its extended mop into toe kicks like the MOVA V50 ultra or the Aqua 10 ultra track can. I have written up a more thorough evaluation of the V50 here that you can read: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1mmdaw4/still_not_perfect_but_my_dog_and_i_think_the_mova/ My review of the Z60 ultra roller complete is being finalized. It does vacuum louder than the V50 ultra but it mops much better. A little more care is needed like cleaning the fluffing roller every 30 hours (the app reminds you) as it can be tangled with fur (even if you set it to vacuum first then mop) and needing to use a brush to clean the mop housing and mop washboard unlike the V50 which could be cleaned with just a Clorox wipe. It’s still a lot less maintenance compared to my old robot though.

Absolutely not the Saros Z70, that one is a huge gimmick compared to Roborock’s other models. Roller mop robots right now aren’t as maintenance free as I’d like. I’d instead a robot with good self cleaning designs and are easy enough to clean with just a Clorox wipe. MOVA sent me their V50 ultra to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program and here’s the review: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1mmdaw4/still_not_perfect_but_my_dog_and_i_think_the_mova/ After the review I still do use it everyday, more than the MOVA Z60 ultra roller simply because I’ve been able to get away with not cleaning the robot other than wiping the sensors for three months and there wasn’t any noticeable difference in cleaning performance and I can easily clean the entire robot and base with a Clorox wipe. The MOVA Z60 ultra does require a cleaning brush for the mop housing and the mop washboard, still fine to clean, but it’s significantly heavier than the V50 so I don’t think your parents will appreciate having to handle such a heavy robot to clean it. I just didn’t like how it can go through its battery very quickly (I set it to vacuum first then mop and the I do notice that the MOVA Mobius 60, MOVA’s newest flagship, is quite a bit cheaper than the V50 ultra and it looks like it’ll be better for thick carpet as it has a pressure retention baffle. Other than the mop switching bit and the pressure retention baffle they’re basically identical. Just a dad did a review on the Mobius 60: https://youtu.be/nPxMPwIkbpA Please remember your consumer rights are protected under Australian law. Hope this helps!

> Matic looks promising with its low maintenance claims, but I don't see lot of real world reviews. Several former owners of the Matic told me their dust bags have been leaking. The Dreame Aqua is alright but I am more hesitant to recommend it given how users report that the Aqua 10 ultra roller needs to “think” with the new Nvidia chip that they aren’t making very good use of, the base station leaking isn’t good, and so is the dustbin design not being very good which causes fur to bunch up at the end of the rollers and not entering the dustbin as it should. The downwards force the mop exerts on the floor is 9-12N (adjustable) which is better than most spinning robots but is the same as the QRevo Curv x. As such, I recommend the Z60 Ultra Roller. MOVA sent me their Z60 ultra roller and the V50 Ultra to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program and I’ve run the Z60 ultra roller for more than *43,000 sqft*. I did not experience any clogging in the autoempty port of the robot even though I have a long hair corgi that sheds 24/7 365 days of the year. I’d still recommend checking it just in case! Unless people or pets moved around the robot as it cleaned which the robot will try to avoid, it navigates in smooth straight lines in my home. You can also set it to autoempty once every 5-15sqm (I set mine to autoempty every 15sqm as autoemptying once every 5sqm would mean it’s spending most of its time autoemptying). It’s able to empty my dog’s fur but there were a few times I noticed my waist length hair at the autoempty port when it was cleaning but it often resolves itself. The fur compression feature on the Z60 ultra roller does work well. It dries its mops well, it took 3.5 hours to fully dry the mop roller and the mop housing at 86-90% RH and 90°F with the hot air being measured at 146F-159°F at the different hot air inlets on the robot. Even though mova and dreame share different R&D teams, you can clearly see Dreame relied heavily on mova’s original roller mop designs. The mova Z60 ultra roller uses 17N of downwards force when mopping, only beat by the Z50 Ultra, its predecessor, and the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track (and the other names it’s sold at depending on where it’s sold), which is heavily based on the Z50 Ultra, at 18N. Since this downwards force is comparable to some wet dry floor cleaners, the mop fibers do get matted if the fluffing roller isn’t present. Compared to my old robot (similar to the l10s ultra gen 2), it needs less frequent maintenance. The V50 ultra is much more hands off than the Z60 Ultra roller but the Z60 ultra roller complete delivers a mopping result which makes the floors feel even more squeaky clean. Both get rid of dried on kitchen grease very well. My Routine (If running every day) * Filter: Since the Z60 lacks the filter self-cleaning mechanism found on the V50 Ultra, I tap the dust out of the filter once every few cleaning runs to keep airflow strong. I have a lot of fine dust in my home so this is pretty important for me to do, YMMV. Bi-Weekly & Monthly Care * Mop Fluffer: I strictly follow the app’s reminders (usually every 30 hours) to clean the mop fluffer. If you skip this, fur will tangle around the roller mop, and you’ll quickly see that the fluffing roller is definitely not a gimmick. Because my corgi’s fur wrapped around the fluffing roller, some parts of the mop couldn’t have their fibers fluffed and effectively became matted. * Onboard Dirty Water Tank: Honestly, I haven’t needed to clean the onboard dirty water tank that much; I mostly just see fine dust sticking to the sides. I clean it perhaps once a month by adding warm soapy water and shaking it, usually after the mop dries so I don't drip water everywhere when removing it from the robot. * Mop Washboard: Once every 2-3 weeks, I clean the washboard with good soap, water, and a brush. * Mop Housing: At the same time, I use a damp cleaning brush to sweep away larger debris from the comb teeth in the mop housing and use a Clorox wipe to pick up what the brush sweeped.

I’d also check out the dreame d20 plus/pro plus and the MOVA e30 pro ultra if fur tangles are a concern as they have antitangling main brushes that have worked great in my experience. MOVA did send me their v50 and z60 ultra roller for free to review.

There also is the dreame Aqua 10 ultra track (also called the pro track in south east Asia or track S in Australia). It exerts 18N of downwards force when mopping. MOVA did send me their z60 ultra roller to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program. The Z60 ultra roller exerts 17N of downwards force when mopping. Both robots exert higher downwards force when mopping. The roborock QRevo Curv 2 Flow also exerts higher downwards force at 15N but it currently is only in Australia and mainland China.

There aren’t enough reviews on the Curv 2 Flow so I can’t say anything about it. The Aqua 10 ultra track also isn’t released as widely as the Z60 ultra roller. I am noticing that some people are reporting the base station is leaking and can’t autoempty. I do have the Z60 ultra roller complete and did run it rather extensively (43,000sqft/4000sqm). The floors do feel more squeaky clean. It could clean up ice cream splattered by my dog with most of it gone in 1 pass and the stragglers being picked up the second pass. With dried on mustard ( about 10mL), most of it was rehydrated in the first pass, mostly removed in the second pass, and completely removed and grease free after the third pass. My review of it should come out before Black Friday is here :)

The Aqua 10 ultra track is good too, it’s just that it’s not widely as available and the leaking base station makes me hesitant to recommend it. I do see people say that the z60 ultra’s autoempty port clogs but I’ve never experienced this.

Either the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track or the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller because they exert the highest downwards force at 18N and 17N respectively. MOVA did send me their Z60 ultra roller to review. The Z60 ultra came with a lot of free accessories: three mop rollers, three filters, three side brushes, a pair of main roller brushes, 1L of detergent, and 400mL of pet odor detergent. Signing your email up to the MOVA website also gives you a 30% discount on accessories. MOVA and Dreame’s original accessories are also resold by sellers on platforms like AliExpress, Temu, and Taobao but please do vet them carefully. The resellers who do sell authentic ones can easily show you that it’s in the branded packaging, compatible ones come in discreet boxes. Narwal’s accessories are generally more expensive than other brands. I am personally not a fan of how their mop washboard’s drainage filter is disposable (for no good reason) when you could easily wash it. Same with the dustbin. Narwal says it’s for convenience but I’m not sold on that. Do not get an iRobot roomba 705 combo max or any of their new robots. iRobot is also likely to go belly up.

My review of the Z60 ultra roller complete is being finalized.

Dreame’s Aqua 10 ultra roller exerts 9-12N so not that one. Dreame’s Aqua 10 Ultra/Pro Track exerts 18N and the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller exerts 17N. The roborock Curv 2 Flow exerts 15N but there are no reviews regarding it.

I am in the process of finalizing my review of the Z60 Ultra.

I’d check out the dreame d20 if you just want a basic no frills vacuuming focused robot that does well with long hair and has a basic charging base station. The dreame d20 plus and the pro plus has an autoempty station. The MOVA e30 pro plus ultra is going to be the best bang for buck if you want what the dreame d20 pro plus offers at a lower price. Would also check out the roborock q10 s5+ as a great budget friendly vacuum focused robot. MOVA sent me their v50 ultra and their z60 ultra roller to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program. MOVA’s hyperstream antitangle duorollers that the dreame d20 series also has really do work with waist length hair and my long haired corgi’s fur on hard floors and carpets.

I’m not so sure about the Z60 ultra standalone as it lacks the mop fluffer that I think makes a difference.

The Z60 ultra roller complete (the one in black and retailing at 999) has a mop fluffer. The z60 ultra roller standalone has no mop fluffer and the really high downwards force exerted on the floor means the roller gets really flat.

MOVA does send me their robot vacuums to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program because I’ve frequently been active in robot vacuum forums way before they approached me about this opportunity. I’ve received the V50 ultra complete and the Z60 ultra roller complete to review. You can read my V50 ultra complete review here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1mmdaw4/still_not_perfect_but_my_dog_and_i_think_the_mova/ You can also read this customer’s review of the V50 ultra that also details their experience with customer service here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1p2mofw/mova_v50_review/ Although MOVA is a subbrand of dreame, I’m not seeing the nearly as negative and mixed reviews of Dreame’s customer service that seems to greatly depend on who is responsible for their warranty case. It simply could be that MOVA has a different customer service team which has positive and mixed reviews of their customer service. I’d still like them to make their customer service to be as consistently good as eufy and Xiaomi. I also have the review of the Z60 Ultra Roller coming, hopefully it’ll be up before Black Friday ends. If you like my review of the V50 ultra, this review will be much more detailed than the V50 ultra mainly because I had more time with it before publishing it. The V50 ultra still runs in my home everyday and it’s my preferred daily cleaner as the self cleaning features really do work and the Z60 ultra roller is my deep cleaning robot. MOVA does have a 3 year warranty (not including the robot’s battery and the PTC heating module which is one year). If you want the most hands off robot, the MOVA V50 Ultra is my pick. The best mopping focused robot from MOVA is going to be the Z60 Ultra which exerts 17N of downwards force, much higher than the Narwal flow at 9-12N and the Dreame Aqua 10 roller which exerts the same amount of downwards force as the Narwal flow. It will need more care when it comes to cleaning it but it is nowhere as much as my old robot vacuum and mop combo. Unfortunately I don’t think the new robot vacuums, including ones from iRobot as they are outsourced to Shenzhen Picea 3i robotics (often referred to as Picea), one of the largest OEM companies for robot vacuums. The build quality and repair accessibility of these new robots have been a huge step down from the classic bulletproof roombas that are more like a cleaning tank most are familiar with. Other brands are no exception when it comes to the complexity of a robot vacuum as they’re stuffing these robots full of machinery for vacuuming and mopping. As a result, ease of repair has been sacrificed. At Costco, I’d recommend the dreame GoVac 600 (the dreame L50 ultra) and the roborock QX Revo Ultra (the Roborock QRevo Edge T which is very similar to the Curv X except for it having an easier to clean mop washboard and a tradeoff is that it exerts 8N instead of 12N of downwards force when mopping). I’d recommend buying a robot from Amazon, regardless of any brand unless you feel that the price is too good buying from them directly, and running it as frequently as possible everyday so you can catch any flaw within the return period.

The dreame l40 ultra and the MOVA p10 pro ultra is at 399 usd. Both have an extendable side brush and side mop. They also have cameras that help a lot with obstacle avoidance of things like cables. MOVA did send me their v50 ultra and the z60 ultra roller to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program. There is a good reason why it’s a crowd pleaser when it comes to how cost effective it is.

MOVA is a subbrand of dreame. I think they’ll both be fine for fur compression. The models with spinning mops and fur compression have a larger dustbin (395mL) and a filter that is better at self cleaning compared to the models with a roller mop (both cylindrical and track type) and fur compression which generally have smaller dustbins (210-250ml ish) and the filters clog faster so I’d tap the dust out of it once every few cleaning runs. It looks like mopping is the priority so I’d recommend the MOVA Z60 ultra roller complete over the Aqua 10 ultra roller as it can exert more downwards force when mopping (I noticed a difference compared to the V50 which is already a great combo robot) and isn’t prone to having the base station leak (which appears to be a widespread issue on the Dreame Aqua 10 Aqua roller models).

Yes I’m referring to the carpet vacuuming. Both the z60 ultra roller complete and the l50 will do well with noticeable debris and fur on hardwood floors, even on the normal suction setting.

You are spoiled for options. Dreame, ecovacs, mova, and Narwal have roller mop robots. I’d narrow it down to mova and Narwal imo. Dreame’s Aqua 10 roller robots are clearly based off the MOVA Z60 ultra roller complete (MOVA is a subbrand of dreame but they have completely different R&D teams) but with less downwards force when mopping (dreame does 9-12N and MOVA currently exerts the highest downwards force at 17N). I have seen some people report that their Z60 Ultra Roller’s autoempty port gets clogged with fur but I haven’t had this happen at all after it has cleaned 43,000sqft and I have a long haired corgi that sheds all the time. Narwal is also a good choice with a track type mop exerting 12N but it lacks a detergent tank in the base station so you’d need to manually add the detergent when you refill the clean water tank (up to you to decide how important that is). MOVA did send me their v50 ultra complete and the Z60 ultra complete to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program. Both did great removing overnight dried on kitchen grease in one go. The z60 ultra roller was able to get rid of splattered dog friendly ice cream left by my dog with most of it gone in 1 pass and totally squeaky clean in the second pass. My review of the Z60 ultra roller complete is being finalized~~~

Both the Narwal flow and the MOVA Z60 Ultra roller are well-suited for your home. The main differences are that the MOVA Z60 Ultra’s mopping is going to exert a constant 17N (3.7lb) of downward force on your hard floors, and the Narwal Flow is going to mop with 7-12N, which generally indicates better mopping. The MOVA Z60 Ultra roller also has a DuoSolution detergent tank (I expect mova to allow you to customize the pet odor solution to bring the hard floor conditioner but I’ll need to check with them on that) that will let you choose if you want it to mop with detergent and it’ll automatically add the detergent to the clean water tank for you instead of needing to manually add detergent to the Narwal Flow’s clean water tank. The Z60 ultra roller can extend the side brush to clean better under toe kicks and in corners, whereas the Narwal flow can only clean into corners, as it cannot extend the side brush. Unlike the Narwal flow, which claims to have a completely self-cleaning dirty water tank that is inaccessible to the user unless the robot is completely disassembled, the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller has an easily accessible onboard dirty water tank that is easily cleaned. It’s up to you to decide if automatic detergent addition for mopping and mop washing, better cleaning into toe kicks, higher mopping downward force, and an accessible onboard dirty water tank are worth the extra money. MOVA did send me their Z60 Ultra Roller and the V50 Ultra to review and keep as part of their Reddit collaboration program. I’m in the process of finishing the review and should be able to publish it by Black Friday. It’s a mopping expert.

Only the Dreame models with the ProLeap system and the MOVA models with the stepmaster system can climb this threshold. Others often tap out at 1.18 inches for a single threshold like the eureka J15 Max Ultra, the roborock models with the Adaptlift chassis, and the Narwal flow. From dreame you have: the L50 Ultra, the X50 ultra, the Aqua 10 roller, the Aqua 10 ultra roller, the Matrix 10 From mova you have: the V50 ultra, the Z60 Ultra Roller Complete (not the Z60 Ultra SA/StandAlone), and the Mobius 60. What’s your budget in your local currency? Is your home mostly hardfloor (if so, what kind?) or carpet? Any pets that shed a lot? Do you value a robot being as hands off as possible? Do you care a lot about cleaning performance and don’t mind trading off some hands off self cleaning for this?

Unfortunately most robots in this price range cannot cross your 1.5 inch threshold unless you get it a ramp and I’m not quite sure if it can cross 1.5 inches with a ramp :( The cheapest robot I found that can cross your threshold without a ramp and any problems on your end would be the dreame X50 ultra at 799 on their website/Amazon, after that it’ll be the MOVA V50 Ultra at 839 on the MOVA website/Amazon and the Dreame L50 ultra at 849 on Dreame’s website/Amazon. Unfortunately a tradeoff you’ll have to make for these robots to clear these thresholds is that these robots are generally more power hungry. I recommend buying the robots off Amazon, making it run as frequently as possible (several times a day) during the return period to catch any build quality issues as lemons sadly exist, and returning it if it is a dud. MOVA sent me their V50 ultra and the Z60 Ultra roller to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program. You can read the review here to get a better sense of what these robots are like: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1mmdaw4/still_not_perfect_but_my_dog_and_i_think_the_mova/ I generally recommend the V50 ultra over the X50 ultra as it usually is cheaper than the X50 ultra and delivers more features than the X50 ultra but that’s not the case for this Black Friday so I’ll recommend the X50 Ultra instead. You can watch Jamie Andrews’ review on the X50 Ultra here: https://youtu.be/JOOU0uJsVdU

I would get these models from Amazon, run it as frequently as possible (cleaning the whole floor once a day and cleaning some rooms too in the same day) before the return period ends so you can catch any build quality issues and return them if it arises. It does seem that the complaints about the broken front wheel have recently decreased in quantity so it’s likely that they fixed it in their newer batches. Quality control is the brand’s responsibility and I’m not going to apologize nor defend their mistakes which I think shouldn’t have happened in the first place but them improving is a step in the right direction. If you want obstacle avoidance, the MOVA p10 pro ultra and the Dreame l40 ultra (also at the same price) have superior obstacle avoidance of the qrevo edge/curv. Unlike the qrevo edge which has an RGB camera, a flashlight and structured light to help with obstacle avoidance, the Edge S5A has no RGB camera and only structured light so do not expect the edge S5A to avoid things like cables, shoelaces, kid toys, and even people without at least bumping into them. I’d choose the dreame l40 ultra over the p10 pro ultra as it can use the side brush on carpets and remove its mops when it is vacuuming. MOVA did send me their V50 ultra and their z60 ultra roller for a review as part of their Reddit collaboration program.

The MOVA Z60 Ultra roller that MOVA sent me as part of their Reddit collaboration program has these features and is a good mopping focused robot and I haven’t experienced nor noticed any of the same widespread issues reported with the Z50 ultra like being unable to dock which I frankly think is a quality control issue. I hope you got a refund though :( Battery performance is definitely a tradeoff when it comes to the Z60 ultra when I measured its battery consumption when mopping especially when compared to the V50, its peer which I find already delivers good mopping for a spinning mop robot (better than the X50 imo) as it exerts more pressure at 8N and can spin its mops up to 260rpm. I plan to finish the Z60’s review by Black Friday so everyone can make an informed choice :)

I personally do not like the Z60 ultra roller Standalone (that’s why it’s abbreviated as SA) as much as the Z60 ultra roller complete mainly because it lacks the fluffing roller which I feel is necessary given how easily flattened the roller mop fibers get from how high the downwards force is exerted. I believe there’s also no DuoSolution tank. Otherwise, it’s a pretty good mopping focused robot. If it’s at the same price, I’d get the MOVA V50 ultra over the X50 ultra because the mopping is better with 8N of downwards pressure and can increase it to 260RPM, the omnidry system definitely works well at preventing odors and mildew, and I do like the DuoSolution tank if you have pets.

The best for obstacle avoidance will be the MOVA P50 pro ultra and the Narwal Freo Z10 ultra as these models are the only ones with an RGB camera which help it avoid obstacles like cables and cat toys. It will also help it recognize any scattered litter and it’ll slow down and be more meticulous when it notices it. The Narwal model is more water hungry so I’d recommend this as a mopping focused robot and given how big your home is I’d connect it to the water line if possible. The MOVA p50 pro ultra is the more water effective choice. I did hear issues about the p50 pro ultra’s front wheels breaking but I do not hear it as much anymore. I’d still recommend making your robots run multiple times a day so any flaws can be caught and you can return the robot within the return period that Amazon has. MOVA sent me their v50 ultra and their z60 ultra roller to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program.

I have the MOVA z60 ultra that MOVA sent to me as part of their Reddit collaboration program. I wasn’t really expecting to see that much of an improvement on my hard floors given how well the V50 ultra already takes care of them. But I was proven wrong. The vacuuming noise is pretty loud (shouldn’t be louder than the l40 but it’s noticeably louder than the V50) and it is slightly more battery efficient than the V50 ultra so I’m afraid you’d have to make liberal use of the recharge and resume function. I’ll say the MOVA z60 ultra is the best of the bunch if mopping is the main concern mainly because it exerts the most downwards force at 17N which is only beat by the MOVA Z50 ultra and the Dreame Aqua 10 ultra track (the Dreame Aqua 10 track S in Australia is the same thing). The Dreame Aqua roller exerts 9-12N, the Narwal flow exerts 12N, and I believe the ecovacs exerts 9-10N.

The [Aqua10 Roller](https://amzn.to/47xkedl) (not [ultra-roller](https://amzn.to/47gOoR1)) uses the same [MOVA Z60](https://amzn.to/49hll22) navigation, I thought that was interesting they offered that variant. I dont think it fixes it's other issues, though. I think this go-around, the MOVA is just a better engineered robot, seems like they took some chances with the Dreame variant that didnt work out. Even the dust bin functions better on the Z60.

I agree, when I saw it posted I was so confused. It also doesn’t have the same wheels so less climbing height and also only one solution dispenser instead of two. But it’s consistently been more expensive than the Ultra version since launch. I even reached out to Dreame to ask the difference at the time and they didn’t even know, lol. It’s like a worse version of the Z60

I found x11, z60, and flow all had really good vac / mop cleaning performance, but Narwal Flow had superior obstacle avoidance in my environment. 

My mova z60 does exactly the same! They are almost identical units, seems software issue to me. Let's hope they fix it.

Yes. Sorry. My z60 even went mopping my carpet. No protective shield. It seriously went mopping the carpet.

I love my MovaZ60!!!!! One dog, one cat, honestly I run it twice a day. Once during the day & once while we’re sleeping. I switched the dust bag yesterday morning & checked it after its afternoon run just out of curiosity. I’ve have it going on this schedule for over a month & was shocked at how much was in the new bag!! There were a few days where it was annoying me because it was figuring out some kinks but the little guy is good again now & I love him so much lol

It’s not terrible! My dog is terrrrrified of our handheld Dyson & he accepted the Mova immediately it was crazy. I think there is also a (probably less powerful) quiet mode

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.

Z60 has worked well for me the past few days. mopping is great. Navigation is pretty good. App is usable, not great, but usable.

Der z60 schneidet überall besser ab im Vergleich zum Dreame. Wenn ich mir einen kaufen würde dann den Mova
