What you can expect from the MOVA V50 Ultra Complete
What testers say about the MOVA V50 Ultra Complete
The MOVA V50 Ultra Complete is an all-in-one robot with two spinning mop pads of which one extends, an extending side brush, a retractable lidar and a climbing system for thresholds up to 2.4 inches. The station empties the bin into a 3.2-liter bag good for about a hundred days, washes the pads in hot water, dries them with hot air and doses cleaning solution or a pet-odor formula. Vacuum Wars put it first in its own top 20 after testing; it now sits 19th, overtaken by newer models.
In the tests it lifted 88 percent of the sand embedded in carpet, a top-ten score of all time at Vacuum Wars, and pressed-in pet hair was picked up at 88 percent against an 81 average. The twin main brush channels hair to one side and came out of the long-hair test spotless. The extending side brush made corners noticeably cleaner, and the testers praised the price, clearly below similarly equipped Roborock and Ecovacs models.
The criticism is limited and mostly relative: rivals have since mopped better and climbed higher thresholds, and Vacuum Wars publishes no threshold measurement for this model. Without a water hookup you refill the clean tank yourself. For flagship equipment at a mid-range price this remains one of the better buys.
Pros
- Digs embedded dirt out of carpet very well Vacuum Wars ↗
- Scrubs off dried stains well while leaving floors barely wet Vacuum Wars ↗
- Climbs high and stepped thresholds that stop most robots Vacuum Wars ↗
- Gets over tall thresholds, so raised rooms stay within reach TechRadar ↗
- Warm-water mopping lifts fresh spills and muddy footprints well TechRadar ↗
- Twin rollers stay largely free of long hair TechRadar ↗
Cons
- Avoids fewer small objects on the floor than most rivals Vacuum Wars ↗

- The bin inside the robot is fairly small Vacuum Wars ↗
- Now and then bumps into chair and table legs TechRadar ↗
- The app has many settings, but some are hard to find TechRadar ↗
- Tough dried-in stains may need a second pass TechRadar ↗
Where the testers disagree
