Mova E50 Ultra White

I turn it on via the app on the ground floor and then leave. I get the house ready for vacuuming and move some furniture aside so it can reach things most easily. Edges, chair legs, rug borders—it doesn't get stuck on those, whereas my previous one couldn't handle that. It knows the difference between tiles and rug. No mopping on the rug. Vacuuming the rug isn't fantastic, but over tiles and laminate, it is solid and precise. Its session is long, and it empties its dust bag and dirty water into the reservoir itself. A nice and handy device, especially if you let it do its thing and don't just sit there watching it. The mopping is wonderful for me; I don't do it, it does. Now 3 times a week, after which it cleans the cloths and dries them as well. All settings can be adjusted via the app. It takes a bit of figuring out how it works best, and I'm getting better at it all the time.

Upon unpacking, the size of the box is immediately noticeable, but with this base station, that is to be expected. The robot and all parts were securely fastened, and the whole setup makes a solid impression.

Setting it up is very easy: the app guides you step-by-step through the process. The first scan of the room was completed quickly and surprisingly precise, really a lot better than what I have seen with other robot vacuums.

In daily use, the E50 Ultra does exactly what you expect. It vacuums and mops, and the base station manages the water for you. You can see the difference especially in the corners, thanks to the mop that slides out. You can easily set up zones and cleaning preferences via the app.

The only real downside is the size of the base station, so be sure to measure where you can place it. Otherwise, it is a great robot vacuum that I would definitely recommend.

I hadn't expected a vacuum cleaner in this price range to be so thorough. The MOVA E50 Ultra vacuums and mops in one pass, and especially with the mess left behind by two small children (think macaroni ending up everywhere except in their mouths), I expected it to get stuck or leave stains. That wasn't the case. It handles it just fine, even on days when the floor looks a mess. You have to move the chairs out of the way beforehand, otherwise it gets stuck, but you get used to that quickly. What I appreciate most: I don't feel like I should have chosen a more expensive model to get the same result.
