Feedback
What reviewers found
Three independent tests. Vacuum Wars bought one, called it the best value robot of its year and was especially impressed by the battery. RTINGS tested it in the lab and found it good on hard floors but poor on carpet edges and pet hair. TechGearLab used it at home and rated it a strong all-rounder that struggles with pet hair. So they agree on hard floors and pet hair. Where they split, sharply, is obstacle avoidance.
Vacuum Wars, lab test, Several weeks, Apr 2025 · RTINGS, lab test · TechGearLab, hands-on, Apr 2026
Hard floors
Reviewers rate it highlyAll three tests agree it's good on hard floors. RTINGS found it cleared all medium and large debris and used its extending side brush well along walls, TechGearLab saw it collect most of its spilled mess, and Vacuum Wars saw it pick up everything from fine dust up.
Carpet and rugs
Mixed resultsVacuum Wars measured above-average embedded-sand removal, beating some robots at twice the price, and TechGearLab rated its carpet cleaning highly. RTINGS found carpet performance poor, with edges and corners left dirty and fine debris missed on low pile.
Pet hair
Reviewers found problemsPet hair on carpet is its clearest weakness. RTINGS found the brush can't lift embedded hair and drags surface hair around, Vacuum Wars measured below-average pickup of flattened hair, and TechGearLab saw clumps pushed around rather than collected.
Mopping
Mixed resultsAdequate and no more. RTINGS called the mopping decent, TechGearLab found set-in marks needed an extra pass, and Vacuum Wars scored it below average on dried stains, though its extending pad did well along edges.
Navigation and obstacles
Mixed resultsMapping is quick and accurate, but avoidance splits the testers. RTINGS found it superb around pet waste and cables, and Vacuum Wars rated it the best at its price, while TechGearLab saw it run into fake pet mess and need rescuing from low obstacles.
Dock and upkeep
Reviewers rate it highlyVacuum Wars found the dock has almost every feature you'd want in a premium robot, with hot-water mop washing and detergent dosing, and TechGearLab found it convenient and easy to maintain, with simple tank access.
App and software
Reviewers rate it highlyVacuum Wars found MOVA's app hard to tell apart from a top competitor's, and TechGearLab found it intuitive and clean, with easy multi-floor maps, no-go zones and live progress.
Noise
Not enough evidenceOnly TechGearLab judged noise, finding it reasonable while cleaning and the emptying dock mostly quiet apart from a noticeable hum.
Reliability and support
Not enough evidenceNone of the reviews we use has run it long-term or judged MOVA's support yet.
Value
Reviewers rate it highlyThis is its strongest suit. Vacuum Wars called it a shout-from-the-rooftops kind of value for its features, and TechGearLab found it punches above its price with excellent value overall.
Verdicts come from independent, hands-on, finished reviews. An area needs at least two of them before we say more than “Not enough evidence”. We don't score robots ourselves. How this works
Good on hard floors
All three tests agree here. RTINGS found it cleaned all medium and large debris from hard floors and used its extending side brush well along walls and in corners, leaving only a little fine dust. TechGearLab measured about 91% of its spilled mess collected, though it occasionally skipped tight corners. Vacuum Wars saw it pick up everything from fine dust to extra-large debris. For kitchens, hallways and open-plan rooms, it's a reliable daily cleaner.
Pet hair in carpet is the weakness
This is the clearest finding. RTINGS said the brush lacks the agitation to lift embedded pet hair and drags surface hair around, pressing it into the pile. Vacuum Wars measured below-average pickup of flattened hair on carpet, though it was perfect on hard floors. TechGearLab scored pet hair lowest of all its categories, with clumps pushed around rather than collected. The brush itself stays nearly tangle-free, per Vacuum Wars, so the problem is pickup, not maintenance. If you have a shedding pet and carpet, keep a proper vacuum too.
Carpet results don't agree
Vacuum Wars found it pulled more embedded sand out of carpet than average, beating some robots at twice the price, and TechGearLab also rated its carpet cleaning highly. RTINGS disagrees, calling carpet performance poor. It doesn't use the side brush on carpet, so edges and corners stay dirty, and it struggled with fine debris on low pile. The tests measure different things, so expect the middle of your rugs to come up well and the edges less so.
Obstacle avoidance: lab versus home
RTINGS rated it superb, avoiding pet waste and even dangling USB cables, and Vacuum Wars found it better than average and the best it had seen at this price. TechGearLab had a very different time at home: it ran into fake pet mess, needed rescuing from low obstacles a few times and chewed the edges of thin rugs. Nobody has explained the gap, so tidy the floor before a scheduled clean.
Long runs, ordinary mopping
Vacuum Wars recorded one of the best battery efficiency results it had seen, covering roughly double the floor area of an average robot per charge, so it suits larger homes. Mopping is less impressive. Vacuum Wars scored it below average on dried stains, TechGearLab found set-in marks needed an extra pass, and RTINGS called it decent. Everyday spills are fine; old stains need a hand.
Covers the original P10 Pro Ultra, not the P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2.
Our take
Should you buy the P10 Pro Ultra?
Best for: Larger homes with mostly hard floors. Skip it if: Pet hair embedded in carpet is your main cleaning problem.
Consider the P10 for a mainly hard-floored home, particularly if you need good coverage per charge. Embedded pet hair is its clearest weakness. The P50 did better on hair in one lab, but its results overall were mixed, so don't treat it as a straightforward fix for a carpeted home with shedding pets.
The original P10 Pro Ultra has an extending side brush and mop. Its dock empties dust, refills water, washes the pads in hot water and dries them. RTINGS notes hardware similarities with the Dreame L40 Ultra, although their cleaning results should be compared separately. The newer P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2 is a different model and is not covered by these tests.
All three reviews praised hard-floor pickup. Pet hair in carpet was weaker: RTINGS and TechGearLab saw hair dragged or pushed around, and Vacuum Wars measured below-average flattened-hair pickup. Obstacle results differed. RTINGS reported strong avoidance, while TechGearLab’s unit hit simulated pet waste and needed rescuing from low obstacles. Vacuum Wars measured roughly twice its test-average floor coverage per charge and considered it good value at the review price. That value judgement needs comparing with today’s offers.
Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Is it good with pet hair on carpet?
Not really. All three tests found it weak here: RTINGS said it can't lift embedded hair, Vacuum Wars measured below-average pickup of flattened hair and TechGearLab saw clumps pushed around. It's fine for hair on hard floors.
Will it avoid cables and pet mess?
The tests disagree. RTINGS saw it avoid cables and pet waste well, while TechGearLab’s unit ran into simulated pet waste. One good test won't tell you how it behaves in your home, so clear cables and check for pet accidents before each clean.
Can it leave the mops in the dock for carpet?
No. The pads lift 10.5mm over carpet, per the specifications, and MOVA suggests setting the app to avoid carpets with pile longer than 3mm. The P50 Pro Ultra can leave its mops in the dock.
How often do I have to empty or refill anything?
MOVA claims the 3.2-litre dust bag lasts up to 75 days, and the dock holds 4.5 litres of clean water and 4 litres of dirty water, per the specifications. How often you refill water depends on how much you mop.
Does it fit under low furniture?
The listed body height is about 9.7cm, including its fixed laser turret, per the specifications. That isn't the same as the smallest gap it can clean under, so measure the tightest spot beneath your furniture and leave a bit of room for it to move.
Should I get the P10 Pro Ultra or the Gen 2?
TechGearLab describes the Gen 2 as having twice the advertised suction figure, faster mop drying and different obstacle sensing. Twice the advertised pressure doesn't mean it cleans twice as well. None of the tests on this page cover the Gen 2, so read its own reviews before comparing.
Alternatives
Other robot vacuums to compare.
P50 Pro Ultra
Why consider it: Easy to recommend for hard floors, with a dock that takes on most chores.
The compromise: Carpet results conflict, and one test found the pricier P50 didn't consistently clean better than the P10.
Qrevo S5V
Why consider it: Testers agree it mops well, and its dock makes a convincing package on a tidy floor.
The compromise: It misses small objects, and testers split on pet hair.
L40 Ultra
Why consider it: One lab calls the P10 almost identical to it, and one home tester loved it.
The compromise: A lab test found much weaker pickup, and the brush in the box varies between offers.
P10 Pro Ultra head to head
Head to head
MOVA P50 Pro Ultra vs P10 Pro Ultra
Our verdict: The P10 is the better value. In Vacuum Wars' side-by-side tests it pulled more sand from carpet and went much further per charge. The P50 wins on stain mopping, a tangle-free brush and leaving its mops in the dock, so pay extra only if those matter.
