Robot vacuums · Mova
Owners with pets and busy floors keep the Mova v70 for its mopping, which several call the best they have used, and accept a bagless dust box that needs more hands-on emptying.
Mopping is the thing owners praise most: one with two long-haired German shepherds says it is the best mopping robot she could ask for, and others point to the extendable mop pads reaching further under furniture than the V50.
Customer support is the clear complaint. Owners who hit faults (a mop that went back to leaving dirty streaks after two weeks, a replacement unit with a faulty dock) describe support as among the worst they have dealt with, and some have left the brand over it.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
What keeps delighting people is the floor itself. Owners with dogs say hair does not wrap the roller, the vacuuming is strong, and it gets along walls and into corners well enough that V50 owners cite that as the reason to upgrade. A farm household with four kids says it picks its way around toys and dust without trouble, and another owner describes it steering around cats, furniture legs and under counters on its own. Obstacle avoidance is mostly praised, though one owner had navigation and software problems bad enough to seek an exchange.
The routine part is the dust box. It is bagless, so it needs emptying and cleaning more often than a bag system, and one owner notes that bags do a better job of containing pet dander. Owners who have adjusted say the mopping makes the trade worth it. A few also mention the mop can run too dry; settings for water level and base return frequency come up as the things to fiddle with, and a firmware update is reported to have helped.
When the v70 works, owners say it works very well, and the V50 it succeeds has a track record of over a year with at least one owner. The failures described are early ones: a unit that was faulty out of the box and replaced within days, a mop that streaked after two weeks, and a warranty replacement that arrived with a bad dock. Owners who hit these either got an exchange, returned it, or moved to another brand. Those who got a working unit report it running without the issues others describe.
Long-term accounts for the v70 itself are thin. Most owners here have had it weeks or a few months, and the multi-year experience comes from the older V50 rather than this model. How the rollers, dock and battery hold up past the first year is not something these accounts can tell you yet.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
