Introduction
The Dreame L40s Pro Ultra, the Dreame X40 Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra represent three advanced options within the premium segment of robots with multifunctional base. All three models integrate laser technology, dual camera with artificial intelligence and complete mopping systems with rotating mops. The Dreame X40 Ultra, launched in 2024, sets the standard for the previous generation, whilst the L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra, both from 2025, incorporate improvements in several technical areas.
These units are designed for homes seeking total automation: powerful vacuuming, mopping with automatic mop washing with hot water and hot air drying. The presence of a multifunctional base in all three cases guarantees minimal maintenance and consistent mopping results.
Power and Suction
The most notable difference in suction power places the L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra at 19,000 Pa, a figure that widely exceeds the 12,000 Pa of the X40 Ultra. This advantage translates into better pick-up of embedded dirt in carpets and greater effectiveness in tile or parquet grooves.
The brushing system varies considerably between the three. The L40s Pro Ultra features a dual HyperStream brush with specific anti-tangle design for hair, which is especially useful in homes with pets. The X40 Ultra is equipped with a single silicone brush, effective at reducing tangles but with less agitation capacity. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra incorporates the TriCut 3.0 system, which combines bristles with blades to cut tangled hair during the cleaning process itself.
All three models raise the main brush during mopping and feature an extendable side brush that also lifts when mopping. This combination improves sweeping in corners and prevents the side brush from interfering with the wet mops.
Mopping
The mopping system is practically identical in all three robots: two rotating mops at 180 RPM with side extension and RoboSwing movement to reach edges and get slightly under furniture. The mop lift reaches 10.5 mm in all cases, sufficient to transit over medium-thickness carpets without wetting them.
All three detect dirt both on the mops themselves and on the floor, which activates rewashing or automatic scrubbing cycles according to need. All allow the mops to be removed at the base to perform vacuum-only sessions without dragging dry mops across the floor.
The floor mopping water remains cold in all three models, but differences appear in the washing of mops at the base. The L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra wash the mops at 75°C, whilst the X40 Ultra does so at 70°C. Those five degrees may seem little, but in practice they contribute to better dissolution of fats and organic residues adhered to the mops. Hot air drying at 45°C is common to all three units.
Navigation System
All three robots use 360° LiDAR turret combined with dual front camera and 3D laser sensor. This configuration allows precise mapping of the home and real-time obstacle detection. All recognise pets, detect curtains and offer remote access to the camera from the app, as well as featuring LED for night vision.
The most relevant difference lies in the number of recognised obstacles. The L40s Pro Ultra identifies up to 180 different types, the Mova P50 Pro Ultra reaches 160 and the X40 Ultra remains at 120. This means that the L40s Pro Ultra can distinguish with greater precision between everyday objects, cables, toys or slippers, adjusting its cleaning behaviour more specifically.
All three integrate CleanGenius 2.0, the intelligent AI cleaning system that adapts power and mopping according to floor type and detected dirt level. The X40 Ultra specifies the use of the AI Sage 11.0 Quad-core processor, although the other two models do not detail the specific chip in the table.
Autonomy and Battery
The X40 Ultra is equipped with the largest battery capacity: 6,400 mAh compared to the 5,200 mAh of the L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra. However, the L40s Pro Ultra achieves 220 minutes of autonomy, exceeding the 210 of the Mova P50 Pro Ultra and the 194 of the X40 Ultra. This greater energy efficiency of the L40s Pro Ultra is probably due to optimisations in motor and navigation system consumption.
In practice, all three models cover homes of over 200 square metres without problems on a single charge. The difference in autonomy is more noticeable in very large houses or when intensive cleaning is carried out with maximum suction power.
Intelligent Functions
The ability to overcome obstacles marks an important difference. The L40s Pro Ultra can overcome single steps of up to 22 mm and double steps of up to 40 mm, a unique feature among the three that facilitates passage over door thresholds with double levels or complicated transitions between rooms. The X40 Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra are limited to 22 mm on single steps.
The L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra incorporate their own voice assistant, which allows the robot to be controlled through direct commands without needing to use the mobile. The X40 Ultra does not include this function, although all three are compatible with external assistants such as Alexa or Google Home.
Multifunctional Cleaning Base
All three bases perform auto-emptying of the dust container into 3.2-litre bags, wash the mops with hot water and dry them with hot air. All include a detergent tank to dispense product during mop washing.
The L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra integrate the third generation of the washing tray self-cleaning system, whilst the X40 Ultra features the second generation. This improvement reduces residue accumulation in the tray itself and extends manual maintenance intervals.
The clean water tanks are 4.5 litres in the L40s Pro Ultra and the X40 Ultra, and 4 litres in the Mova P50 Pro Ultra. The dirty water tanks measure 4 litres in the two Dreame models and 3.5 litres in the Mova. These differences are minimal in daily use, although in large homes with frequent mopping the extra half litre can avoid some additional emptying.
The L40s Pro Ultra and the X40 Ultra offer the possibility of purchasing an optional plumbing connection kit, which is bought separately and allows automation of water filling and emptying. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra does not contemplate this option.
Dimensions
All three robots share the same diameter of 350 mm, but the height varies. The X40 Ultra measures 97 mm tall, whilst the L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra reach 103.8 mm. Those almost 7 mm of difference can be decisive for accessing under certain furniture or low beds.
The base dimensions present more marked differences. The L40s Pro Ultra and the X40 Ultra share measurements: 340 mm wide, 590.5 mm tall and 456.7 mm deep. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra, on the other hand, measures 420 mm wide, 470 mm tall and 458 mm deep. That is, the Mova base is wider and less tall, which can facilitate its placement in spaces with tall but narrow furniture.
Real-World Experience
For homes with pets, the dual HyperStream brush of the L40s Pro Ultra offers clear advantages over the silicone brush of the X40 Ultra. The TriCut 3.0 system of the Mova P50 Pro Ultra is also effective, although its approach is different: it cuts hair instead of preventing it from tangling. The greater suction power of the L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra reinforces this capacity to pick up animal hair.
In large houses, the 220-minute autonomy of the L40s Pro Ultra makes a difference, especially if complete cleaning with mopping is carried out. The X40 Ultra, despite its larger battery, offers fewer minutes of continuous operation. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra sits at an intermediate point.
The ability of the L40s Pro Ultra to overcome double steps of 40 mm is relevant in homes with complicated thresholds or level differences between rooms. The other two models may become blocked in these situations.
The recognition of 180 obstacles by the L40s Pro Ultra reduces manual interventions and improves navigation in cluttered environments. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra, with 160 obstacles, also offers a high level of precision, whilst the X40 Ultra may require somewhat more prior tidying of the floor.
Conclusion: Which to Choose?
Choose the Dreame L40s Pro Ultra if you're looking for the most complete and advanced model of the three. Its combination of 19,000 Pa of suction, dual HyperStream anti-tangle brush, 220 minutes of autonomy, ability to overcome double steps of 40 mm and recognition of 180 obstacles make it the most capable option. It's ideal for large homes with pets, varied floors and complicated thresholds. The built-in voice assistant adds extra convenience. If your house has low furniture, bear in mind that it measures 103.8 mm in height.
Choose the Dreame X40 Ultra if you prefer a robot with a lower profile (97 mm) that accesses under more furniture, and your home doesn't have double steps or require maximum suction power. Its 6,400 mAh battery is the largest of the three, although the actual autonomy is somewhat lower. It's a solid option for homes without pets or with moderate hair, where the silicone brush performs without problems. The price may be more competitive as it's the 2024 model.
Choose the Mova P50 Pro Ultra if you value the power of 19,000 Pa and the TriCut 3.0 system for cutting hair, but need a base with different dimensions: wider and less tall. It's a good alternative to the L40s Pro Ultra in homes with pets, although without the ability to overcome double steps. The built-in voice assistant is present, but it doesn't offer a plumbing connection kit. It's worth considering if the space where you'll place the base has height restrictions but allows greater width.
