The short version

The T1 Station sits above MOVA's compact N1. The robot is a 27.7cm square that hangs from a heavy base station on a 5.5m cable that carries power and doubles as the safety line. The station has a battery, so you can clean for up to 110 minutes without a socket, or plug it in and keep going. MOVA also heats the spray water to about 40°C to loosen dirt.

Everything here comes from MOVA's spec sheet and launch coverage, because no finished review exists yet. It's bigger and heavier to carry than the N1, and the station alone weighs over 8kg. You still rinse or swap the cleaning pad yourself. On paper its station and cable look a lot like those of Dreame's C1 Station, but nobody has shown they share hardware. It's currently $799.

Our take: Wait for reviews unless you need socket-free window cleaning now. On paper it suits big windows away from sockets, and the warm spray is unusual. If you want something already tested, the Dreame C1 Station also cleans from a battery station, and the W2S OMNI is a tested Ecovacs alternative.

What we know so far

Limited evidence No independent, finished hands-on review of this robot yet. What follows comes from the maker's specifications and early coverage, and says where something is untested.

Nobody has published a finished test of the T1 Station yet. What we know comes from MOVA's own product page and launch coverage from Caschys Blog, which reported it at IFA 2026 and confirmed the September on-sale date. The warm-water spray, the battery run time, the 10,000Pa grip and the corner cleaning are all untested claims. We'll add findings once independent reviews appear.

Battery station, no socket needed

The robot hangs from a base station on a 5.5m cable that carries power and acts as the safety rope, per MOVA. The station's battery is claimed to give up to 110 minutes away from a socket, of which about 80 minutes is cleaning and 30 is emergency hold. Caschys Blog reports that plugging the station in removes the time limit. Nobody has tested the run time yet.

Warm water, untested

MOVA says a low-voltage heater warms the spray to about 40°C, measured at the outlet, and that you switch it on in the MOVAhome app, per MOVA. The page notes cold water in the line has to be flushed out before the warm water arrives. Caschys Blog describes the same feature. Whether warm water actually cleans better on a window is untested.

Grip and safety claims

MOVA claims 10,000Pa of suction, a lock that engages when a fall is detected, a 6kg counterweight in the station and a return to the start when the battery gets low, per MOVA. It says the robot can work on glass tilted back to 45 degrees. Caschys Blog repeats the tilt claim. None of this has been tested independently, so keep the cable anchored as MOVA intends.

Size and weight

The robot is 277 × 277 × 79.5mm and 1.8kg, and the station is 324 × 231 × 337mm and about 8.2kg, per MOVA. That makes the station a lot to carry between rooms compared with a mains-only robot like the N1. The claimed minimum pane is 30 by 40cm, so it won't fit small or divided windows.

No hands-on or lab review of the T1 Station exists yet. Everything on this page is from MOVA or launch news; all performance figures are untested claims.

Before you buy

The questions people ask about this one

Does it work on frameless glass?

MOVA doesn't say so directly. It claims 19 sensors that detect edges, frames and obstacles, per the specifications. Nobody has tested it on frameless glass yet, so keep the cable anchored and stay close if you try.

What happens if the power cuts out?

It runs from the station's battery anyway. MOVA claims it heads back when about 10 minutes of cleaning remain and keeps a strong grip for over 30 minutes, per the specifications. The 5.5m cable also acts as the safety rope. This is untested.

How long does one window take?

Unknown. MOVA quotes a top speed of 14cm a second and up to 90 square metres of wet cleaning per tank, per the specifications, but nobody has timed a real window yet. Caschys Blog adds nothing on speed.

Does it need a special cleaning fluid?

MOVA sells a 1-litre window cleaning solution for the T1 Station and N1, and says its pad works with liquid cleaners, per the specifications. Whether plain water is enough hasn't been tested.

Compare with

Dreame

C1 Station

It also cleans from a carry-around battery station, and four tests found it good on regularly cleaned glass.

It's heavy, fairly loud and won't shift stubborn marks.

Independently reviewed
ECOVACS

WINBOT W2S OMNI

Its battery station frees it from the socket, and Trusted Reviews found it cleared dust and water marks inside and out.

It's much bigger than a mains robot, needs panes of at least 30 by 40cm, and you still rinse the pad yourself.
