Hey r/robotvacuums, it's Vacuum Wars here. We've noticed a lot of interest in the new Mova P50 Pro Ultra, especially since many of you know our glowing review of its cheaper sibling, the P10 Pro Ultra, which we gave our Best Value award. We bought a P50 and have been testing it for a few weeks. Our full video review will be on YouTube soon, but we wanted to share a detailed preview with this community. The story is interesting: even though the P50 has more features, the cheaper P10 might still be the better choice for many. Here's the breakdown. TL;DR: The P50's biggest advantage is mopping—it's significantly better on tough, dried-on stains, where the P10 was average. The P50 has more premium features on paper, like active hair removal, slightly hotter mop washing, camera-based dirt detection, and the option to detach mops at the base. Surprisingly, the cheaper P10 beat the P50 in several key vacuuming tests, including carpet deep clean and crevice pickup. The P10 also had slightly better measured airflow and navigation/battery efficiency. Conclusion: The P10 Pro Ultra remains an incredible value and is likely the better buy for most people. The P50 Pro Ultra is still a great value compared to other flagships, and it's the clear choice if powerful mopping is your absolute top priority. The Full Breakdown: Price & Basics - Mova P50 Pro Ultra lists for $1,000, but we're seeing it sell for around $800. Mova P10 Pro Ultra typically sells in the $500 - $600 range. Both are robot vacuum/mop combos priced significantly below competitors with similar feature sets. What's New & Better on the P50 Pro Ultra? These are the key upgrades: Better Mopping Performance—this is the most significant improvement. In our dried-on stain test, the P50 scored an amazing 110, well above average and a huge jump from the P10's adequate-but-unremarkable performance. It cleans thoroughly without leaving excess water. Active Hair Removal—the P50 has a system to actively remove hair from the brushroll. In our tests, it was about 4% better at resisting tangles than the P10. Honestly, both were already significantly better than average here, so it's a minor improvement. Mop Detaching—while both robots lift their spinning mops by 10mm on carpet, the P50 adds the option to leave the mop pads at the base entirely for a vacuum-only run. This gives you 100% certainty your carpets will stay dry. Camera-Based Dirt Detection—a rare feature where the P50 uses its camera to identify heavily soiled spots and focus on them. We saw this work during our coffee debris test, where it intelligently spent extra time on the spill. Hotter Mop Washing—the P50 uses slightly hotter water than the P10 when self-cleaning its mop pads at the dock. What's the Same on Both Models? The P10 and P50 share an impressive core set of high-end features: Advanced Dock—both have a fantastic, full-featured dock that auto-empties the dustbin into a disposable bag, washes the mop pads with clean water, dries the mop pads with heated air, refills the robot's onboard water tank with water and optional solution, and features a dock self-cleaning function with squeegees. Edge & Corner Cleaning Tech—both have an auto-extending side brush for corners and an auto-extending rear mop head for mopping right up to the edge of walls. Both features worked incredibly well in our tests. Obstacle Avoidance—both use a camera with 3D structured light for obstacle avoidance. Performance was very similar and slightly above average for the industry. The P10 actually scored marginally better in our tests, but we believe this is within the margin of error. App & Software—the app experience is identical.
