Introduction
The Dreame L40s Pro Ultra, the Mova P50 Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Ultra are three robot vacuum cleaners launched in 2025 that share the same manufacturer, as Mova is Dreame's second brand. All three models offer identical suction power of 19,000 Pa and feature a multifunctional base station that washes and dries the mops with hot water and air. This robot vacuum cleaner comparison focuses on identifying the real differences between these devices, which at first glance may seem very similar but present important nuances in advanced functionalities.
These are robots designed for homes seeking complete mopping automation, with laser navigation systems and generous battery capacities of 5,200 mAh. The main difference lies in the level of artificial intelligence and premium functions they incorporate, with the Mova P50 Ultra being the most basic model of the three.
Power and Suction
All three models share the same suction power of 19,000 Pa, a figure that places them in the high-end market segment. However, the differences in the brushing system are relevant. The Dreame L40s Pro Ultra robot vacuum cleaner features a dual HyperStream brush, a design with two brushes anchored at one end that minimises hair tangles. This system is especially useful in homes with long-haired pets.
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra incorporates a TriCut 3.0 brush, which combines bristles with blades to cut tangled hair during cleaning. Although effective, it requires slightly more maintenance than the HyperStream system. The Mova P50 Ultra is equipped with a single brush, without specifying advanced anti-tangle technology.
All three robots lift the main brush during mopping and feature an extendable, liftable and anti-tangle side brush. This side extension improves corner cleaning, a characteristic they share without noticeable differences.
Mopping
The mopping system is practically identical in all three models: two rotating mops with side extension and Roboswing movement, which allows the robot to make a swaying motion to get the mops under furniture and overhangs. The mop lift reaches 10.5 mm in all cases, sufficient to pass over medium-thickness carpets without wetting them.
The important difference appears in the intelligent mopping functions. The Dreame L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra detect dirt both on the mops and on the floor, automatically adjusting the cleaning process. Additionally, they can automatically detach the mops at the base station when only vacuuming is needed. The Mova P50 Ultra does not have any of these functions, which means having to manually manage mop removal if we only want to use vacuuming.
All three base stations wash the mops with hot water and dry them with hot air, a third-generation system that guarantees good maintenance and prevents bad odours. In practice, this makes the difference between superficial mopping and truly effective mopping.
Navigation System
Here we find the most marked differences between models. The Dreame L40s Pro Ultra robot vacuum cleaner and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra feature dual AI camera, front 3D laser sensor, LED for night vision and allow remote camera access from the app. The Dreame recognises up to 180 different objects, whilst the Mova P50 Pro Ultra identifies 160. This recognition capability includes pets, which enables functions such as animal tracking or taking photographs.
The Mova P50 Ultra is left without dual AI camera, without pet recognition, without night LED and without remote camera access. It maintains the 3D laser sensor and curtain detection, but its obstacle identification capability is clearly inferior. For homes with many objects on the floor or with pets, this limitation may be noticeable in day-to-day use.
All three devices incorporate navigation via LiDAR turret and CleanGenius system for intelligent AI-based cleaning, although the utilisation of this intelligence is greater in the two models with dual camera.
Autonomy and Battery
The 5,200 mAh battery is common to all three robots. The Dreame L40s Pro Ultra offers 220 minutes of autonomy, 10 minutes more than the Mova P50 Pro Ultra's 210. The Mova P50 Ultra does not specify concrete autonomy, although sharing the same battery it should operate at similar figures.
We are talking about more than sufficient autonomy for large homes. With 220 minutes, the Dreame can clean large surfaces in a single run without needing intermediate recharging. This 10-minute difference may seem minor, but in homes of over 150 square metres with several mop washing cycles, every minute counts.
Intelligent Functions
All three models overcome obstacles of 22 mm in height, although the Dreame specifies capacity for simple steps without detailing exact millimetres. This function is useful for transitions between rooms with small level changes or thick carpets.
The Dreame L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra incorporate their own voice assistant, in addition to compatibility with Alexa and Google Home. The Mova P50 Ultra only works with external assistants. Having one's own assistant allows more specific and personalised robot controls without depending on third-party platforms.
Multifunctional Cleaning Base Station
All three base stations perform auto-emptying of the dust container into a 3.2-litre bag, wash the mops with hot water, dry them with hot air and feature third-generation tray self-cleaning. None incorporates UV disinfection or direct plumbing connection.
The differences lie in the tanks and additional options. The Dreame robot vacuum cleaner has a clean water tank of 4.5 litres and dirty water tank of 4 litres, the most generous figures. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra has 4 litres of clean and 3.5 of dirty water. These additional 500 ml allow the Dreame to complete more mop washing cycles without needing to manually refill or empty.
The detergent tank comes integrated in the Dreame and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra, whilst on the P50 Ultra it is optional and must be purchased separately. This detail can influence the final cost if one wants to take advantage of the automatic product dispensing function during mop washing.
Only the Dreame L40s Pro Ultra has an optional kit for plumbing connection, which is purchased separately. Although not a determining characteristic for most users, it may interest those seeking total automation by eliminating manual filling and emptying of tanks.
Dimensions
The diameter of 350 mm is identical in all three robots. The height marks a functional difference: the Mova P50 Ultra measures 97 mm, whilst the Dreame L40s Pro Ultra and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra reach 103.8 mm. Those 6.8 mm can determine whether or not the robot passes under certain low furniture, sofas or beds with little clearance from the floor.
The base stations present different configurations. The Dreame measures 340 mm wide, 590.5 mm high and 456.7 mm deep. The two Mova models have wider base stations (420 mm) but less tall (470 mm), with 458 mm depth. The Dreame's base station is narrower but taller, whilst the Mova ones occupy more width but gain in vertical discretion. It is advisable to measure the available space before deciding, especially if one plans to place the base station in a specific gap.
Real-world user experience
For large homes, the Dreame L40s Pro Ultra offers clear advantages: greater autonomy, more generous base station tanks and better object recognition. In homes of over 120 square metres with various floor types and varied obstacles, these characteristics make the difference in ease of use.
If you live with pets, the Dreame's dual HyperStream brush significantly reduces maintenance compared to the Mova P50 Pro Ultra's TriCut. Additionally, only the Dreame and the P50 Pro Ultra recognise pets, which adds interesting functionalities such as avoiding areas where the animal rests or taking photos. The Mova P50 Ultra is ruled out for this profile due to lack of specific recognition and AI camera.
The automatic mop detachment at the base station of the Dreame and the P50 Pro Ultra is convenient for those who alternate vacuuming and mopping depending on the room. The Mova P50 Ultra requires doing it manually, which can be tedious in daily use.
The dirt detection of the Dreame and the P50 Pro Ultra allows the robot to re-mop especially dirty areas autonomously, something the P50 Ultra cannot do. For kitchens prone to stains or homes with young children, this function significantly improves results without manual intervention.
The Mova P50 Ultra fits better in small or medium-sized homes without pets, where basic navigation with laser sensor is sufficient and premium AI functions are not needed. Its lower height makes it more versatile for passing under low furniture.
Conclusion: Which one to choose?
Choose the Dreame L40s Pro Ultra if you are looking for the best robot vacuum cleaner in this robot vacuum cleaner comparison, with maximum autonomy, greater base station tank capacity, dual HyperStream brush ideal for pets, recognition of 180 objects and future possibility of connecting to plumbing. It is the option for large homes, households with long-haired pets and users who value total automation with minimum maintenance. The own voice assistant and remote camera access add versatility of use.
Choose the Mova P50 Pro Ultra if you want a robot with almost all the premium functions of the Dreame but prioritise a less tall and wider base station that fits better in certain spaces.
