Which is the better buy? Side-by-side on rating, price, strengths, and watch-outs — with the published ratings we averaged to get there.

Mova P10 Pro Ultra
Ranked #10 in Best Robot Vacuums
Mova P10 Pro Ultra
$359as of Jul 6

The MOVA P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2 improves significantly on its predecessor's mopping capabilities, with upgraded hardware delivering a 135 stain removal score versus 73 for the original. Reviewers noted the dual spinning mop pads and 12 Newtons of pressure make a substantial difference in cleaning performance. However, the second-generation model's price rises to nearly $600, and vacuuming remains unchanged from the first version. While it's a solid upgrade for mopping-focused users, those seeking broader vacuuming improvements may find the price increase less justified. This vacuum is best suited for users prioritizing mopping over vacuuming performance.

Strengths
  • Improved mopping performance with 12 Newtons of downward pressure and 260 RPM spinning pads
  • Dual spinning mop pads provide better edge coverage along walls and furniture
  • Lifts 10.5 millimeters over carpet for cleaning mixed floor types in one run
Watch-outs
  • Price increased from ~$500 to nearly $600 for the second generation
  • Obstacle avoidance regressed in Gen 2 after removing RGB camera; bumps more than it should

Roborock Saros 20
$1,599.99as of Jul 6

The Roborock Saros 20 delivers exceptional cleaning performance with its 36,000 Pa suction and dual mop system that adapts pressure based on mess level. Mark Ellis Reviews called it 'super easy to set up' and praised its 'brilliantly designed app,' while Vacuum Wars noted its 'standout mopping' and 'very high official suction rating.' However, both reviewers acknowledged it struggles with larger debris and heavily stained floors. This premium robot vacuum is ideal for users seeking a high-end, automated cleaning solution but may not suit those on a budget or with very challenging floor conditions.

Strengths
  • Easy setup and operation with brilliant app design
  • Top-class object avoidance and mapping capabilities
  • High suction power at 36,000 Pa for effective vacuuming
Watch-outs
  • Can struggle with larger bits of debris
  • Requires manual intervention for heavily stained floors
  • Premium price point of $1,499/£1,309

How they stack up

Mova P10 Pro Ultra

The Mova P10 Pro Ultra delivers superior mopping performance with its upgraded spinning pads and stain removal, outperforming the Dreame D30 Ultra and Lefant M5 Max in this area. However, it lacks the suction power of the Roborock Saros 20 and the advanced navigation of the Narwal Flow 2, and its price increase makes it less value-driven than the Roborock Q10 S5+.

Roborock Saros 20

The Roborock Saros 20 excels in suction power and app usability, surpassing the Dreame X60 Max Ultra and Ecovacs T90 Pro Omni in both performance and ease of use. However, it's significantly more expensive than the Mova V50 and Lefant M5 Max, and its navigation and obstacle avoidance are less refined than the Narwal Flow 2's AI-driven system.
