ZDNET’s key takeaways
- The Mova P50 Pro Ultra is available for only $799, down $400 from its regular price.
- It is one of the strongest robot vacuums on the market, with 19,000 Pa of suction, reliable edge cleaning, mop removal, and obstacle avoidance.
- While its obstacle avoidance far exceeds its price point, the P50 Pro Ultra doesn’t always avoid loose cables on the floor.
I test a lot of robot vacuums, and there’s no doubt that these devices have become exceedingly expensive over time. New features have driven prices up, so seeing a premium model for under $1,000 is a rarity.
Also: I tested Roborock’s first self‑cleaning roller mop vacuum, and it’s almost too good for the price
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra is a robot vacuum and mop available for $799, yet it boasts features usually found on models twice its price: 19,000 Pa suction, automatic mop‑pad removal, and built‑in voice control.
Hands‑free floor care
- Self‑emptying dustbin
- Autonomous mop washing and drying – you only need to empty the dirty‑water tank occasionally, refill the clean‑water tank when empty, and replace the dust bag roughly every 75 days.
The anti‑tangle Clean Chop Brush is a standout feature for tackling hair. Built‑in blades cut hair as it rolls over the brush roller, eliminating the need to manually detangle the brush.

The Mova isn’t the first to use this type of brush, but it performs flawlessly every time. In my home office (which doubles as my dog’s bedroom), the robot handled medium‑length, high‑shedding dog hair without a hitch. After weeks of testing in the hairiest room of my house, I never had to detangle the brush.

Its obstacle avoidance is very good, rivaling robots that cost twice as much. The only drawback is occasional snagging on flat cables, but this isn’t consistent and is common among flagship models.
If a robot vacuum’s obstacle avoidance is too good, it can miss some debris. The Mova strikes a solid balance, avoiding most cables and floor obstacles while still sweeping up clumps of hair.
