What we know

What we know comes from MOVA's own product page and launch coverage from Caschys Blog, which reported on it at IFA 2026 and confirmed the September on-sale date. The robot hangs from a battery station on a cable that doubles as the safety line, so it can clean away from a socket, and it heats its spray water. It's bigger and heavier than MOVA's compact N1, and you still rinse or swap the pad yourself.

Battery station, no socket needed

The robot hangs from a base station on a 5.5m cable that carries power and doubles as the safety rope, per MOVA. MOVA claims the station's battery gives up to 110 minutes away from a socket, about 80 minutes of it cleaning and 30 emergency hold. Caschys Blog reports that plugging the station in removes the time limit.

Warm-water spray

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 you have to flush the cold water out of the line before the warm water arrives. Caschys Blog describes the same feature.

Grip and safety features

MOVA claims 10,000Pa of suction, a lock that engages when it detects a fall, 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, and Caschys Blog repeats that claim. Keep the cable anchored the way 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's a lot more to carry between rooms than a mains-only robot like the N1. MOVA's minimum pane is 30 by 40cm, so it won't fit small or divided windows.

What's not checked yet

Everything here is MOVA's spec sheet, repeated in launch coverage from Caschys Blog. Nobody has published a finished test yet, so these are the open questions: how long the station's battery really lasts; whether warm water actually cleans a window any better; how well the 10,000Pa grip, fall lock and edge sensors work on real glass; and how it copes with corners.

Our take

Should you buy the T1 Station?

Best for: Large windows or glass doors far from convenient sockets. Skip it if: You want a stronger record in independent tests before buying.

wait for reviews before buying. The Dreame C1 Station also cleans from a battery station and has been tested, as has the W2S OMNI from Ecovacs.

The T1 Station sits above MOVA's compact N1. The robot hangs from a heavy base station on a 5.5m cable that carries power and doubles as the safety line, and the station has its own battery, so you can clean away from a socket or plug it in and keep going. MOVA also heats the spray water to loosen dirt.

It only went on sale this September. MOVA claims nearly two hours on the station's battery, a warmed spray and a bank of edge sensors. It is bigger and heavier to carry than the N1, the station alone weighs over 8kg, and you still rinse or swap the pad yourself. Its station looks a lot like Dreame's C1 Station, though nobody has shown they share hardware.

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 if you try, keep the cable anchored and stay close.

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 doubles as the safety rope. None of this has been tested.

How long does one window take?

Nobody knows yet. 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. 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. Nobody has tested whether plain water is enough.

C1 Station

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

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

ECOVACS WINBOT W2S OMNI
ECOVACS · £409.21

WINBOT W2S OMNI

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

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