MOVA P10 Pro Ultra vs P50 Pro Ultra

Buy the P10 Pro Ultra for most homes: in a side-by-side lab test it pulled more grit from carpet and covered far more floor per charge. Pay for the P50 Pro Ultra if mopping matters most or you have rugs, because it scrubs stains much better and can leave its mops in the dock.

Updated

The short version

P10 Pro UltraOur pick

The cheaper model that held its own. One lab called it the best value robot of its year, measured above-average carpet cleaning and found it covered roughly twice the floor of an average robot per charge. All three tests praised it on hard floors. What you give up: pet hair in carpet is its clear weakness, its mopping is only adequate on dried stains, and it can't leave its mops in the dock.

P50 Pro Ultra

The step up for mopping and rugs. It washes its pads at 75°C, can leave them in the dock for vacuum-only runs, and has a brush with a built-in cutter that came out of a long-hair test with nothing wrapped round it. One lab scored its dried-stain mopping far ahead of the P10. What you give up: the same lab found it weaker on carpet and much shorter on battery, and another lab saw it drive over pet waste on carpet.

What reviewers found

P10 Pro Ultra

Three tests agree it's good on hard floors: RTINGS saw it clear all medium and large debris and use its extending brush well along walls, and TechGearLab collected about 91% of its spilled mess. Pet hair in carpet is weak in all three, with hair dragged around rather than lifted. Obstacles split them: RTINGS rated its avoidance superb, while TechGearLab's unit ran into fake pet mess. Vacuum Wars called it the best value robot of its year.

P50 Pro Ultra

Two lab tests that agree on hard floors and clash on carpet. RTINGS found it lifted nearly all hard-floor debris in one pass and handled pet hair on carpet well, but often bumped into or drove over things on carpet, including pet waste. Vacuum Wars measured below-average carpet cleaning and poor flattened-hair pickup, but strong stain removal and no hair at all wrapped round the brush.

Where they differ

  1. 01

    Carpet: the cheaper P10 did better

    In the same lab, Vacuum Wars measured the P10 removing 81% of embedded sand from carpet against 57% for the P50, with a 75% average. That's a big gap the other way from what the price suggests. RTINGS was much kinder to the P50 on carpet, so the evidence isn't one-sided, but neither robot is strong on pet hair buried in carpet.

    Mopping: the P50 is clearly better

    Vacuum Wars scored the P50 111 on dried stains against 73 for the P10, with a 93 average. The P50 also washes its pads hotter, at 75°C against 65°C, and can leave them in the dock so rugs stay dry. The P10 left less water behind in the same test, which suits wood floors. RTINGS still found the P50 not up to the toughest stains.

    Battery: the P10 covers far more floor

    Vacuum Wars estimated about 200 square metres per charge for the P10 against about 128 for the P50. Vacuum Wars called the P10's battery efficiency one of the best it had seen. In a large home, the P10 is more likely to finish without heading back to recharge.

    P10 Pro Ultra2,153 sq ft (200m²)
    P50 Pro Ultra1,378 sq ft (128m²)

    Hair tangles: both are good, the P50 slightly better

    The P50's brush has a built-in cutter, and nothing at all wrapped round it in Vacuum Wars's long-hair test, against 4% for the P10 and a 38% average. RTINGS found a little hair still wraps now and then. Either way you'll spend less time cutting hair off the brush than with most robots.

  5. 05

    Obstacles: close, and neither is perfect on carpet

    Vacuum Wars recorded 19 of 24 obstacles avoided for the P10 and 17 for the P50. RTINGS rated the P10's avoidance superb and found the P50 often drove over things on carpet, including pet waste RTINGS. At home, TechGearLab saw the P10 run into fake pet mess. If your pet has accidents, run either while you're home.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between the MOVA P10 Pro Ultra and P50 Pro Ultra?

The P50 adds a hotter 75°C mop wash, a brush with a built-in hair cutter, higher claimed suction and the option to leave its mops in the dock. The P10 is a little lower and, in Vacuum Wars's side-by-side, did better on carpet and covered much more floor per charge.

Is the P50 Pro Ultra worth the upgrade?

Only if mopping or rugs matter most. Vacuum Wars ranked the P10 ninth in its top 20 and the P50 eighteenth, mainly because the P10 cleaned carpet better and ran longer. The P50 wins on dried stains and on keeping rugs dry, since it can leave its mops behind.

Which is better for pet hair?

Neither is a strong choice for pet hair in carpet. Vacuum Wars measured 66% of flattened hair lifted for the P10 and 65% for the P50, both below its 81% average. RTINGS found the P50 handled carpet hair well, while all three P10 tests found it weak there.

Which is better for big homes?

The P10. Vacuum Wars estimated it covers about 200 square metres per charge against roughly 128 for the P50, and rated its battery efficiency one of the best it had seen Vacuum Wars.

Is the P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2 the same robot?

No. The Gen 2 is a newer model with different hardware, and none of the P10 tests here cover it. Check the exact name before you order.
