Introduction
The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra and the Mova Z50 Ultra represent two high-end propositions in the world of robot vacuum cleaners with multifunction base stations. The former, launched in May 2026, arrives as Dreame's most recent offering with specifications that seek to make a difference in power and versatility. The Mova Z50 Ultra, available since 2025, positions itself as a solid alternative with advanced features and a balanced approach between performance and functionality.
We are looking at two devices designed for users seeking to maximise home cleaning automation, with complete vacuuming and mopping systems that include bases capable of washing and drying the mops automatically. Both integrate intelligent navigation with camera and advanced sensors, although the differences in power, mopping system design and robot height may prove decisive depending on the type of home.
Power and Suction
The most striking difference between these models lies in suction power. The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra reaches 42,000 Pa, more than double the 19,000 Pa of the Mova Z50 Ultra. This difference translates into greater capacity to vacuum ingrained dirt, pet hair and fine particles on carpets or tile joints.
The brushing system also sets them apart. The Dreame incorporates a dual HyperStream brush, a design that prevents hair tangles by having two brushes anchored at one end. The Mova Z50 Ultra features a TriCut 3.0 brush, which combines bristles with blades to cut tangled hair. Both systems are effective, but the approach differs: the HyperStream prevents the problem from the design stage, whilst the TriCut resolves it by cutting.
Both devices lift the main brush during mopping to avoid dirtying the mops with dust. As for the side brush, both lift it and feature an anti-tangle design. The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra adds extension to the side brush and, furthermore, includes a specific brush for skirting boards that the Mova doesn't have. This detail can make a difference in cleaning edges and corners.
Mopping
The mopping system presents different philosophies. The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra uses two rotating mops that spin to remove adhered dirt, whilst the Mova Z50 Ultra opts for a 180 mm wide roller that covers more surface with each pass. Both systems have advantages: rotating mops exert more concentrated pressure, the roller covers more area at once.
In edge extension, the Dreame features a complete extendable system, whilst the Mova incorporates a mini side mop. Mop lift is significantly superior on the Dreame X60 Pro Ultra: 21.5 mm versus 7 mm. This proves crucial when passing over carpets or moving between rooms without mopping, preventing wet mops from touching unwanted surfaces.
The Dreame mops with hot water at 45°C, a higher temperature than the Mova's 35°C. Hotter water dissolves grease and adhered dirt better. Additionally, the Dreame X60 Pro Ultra automatically removes the mops at the base when you only wish to vacuum, a functionality the Mova doesn't offer and which requires manual removal if you don't want to mop.
Both robots detect dirt on both the mops and the floor, adjusting cleaning as needed. The bases wash the mops with hot water and dry them with hot air in both cases, guaranteeing hygiene and preventing bad odours.
Navigation System
The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra incorporates a retractable LiDAR that reduces the robot's height, whilst the Mova Z50 Ultra features a traditional 3D LiDAR turret. Both systems allow precise home mapping, although the Dreame's retractable unit contributes to its lower height.
Both devices integrate dual RGB camera with artificial intelligence for object recognition. The Dreame recognises up to 320 different obstacles, doubling the Mova's 160. This larger database allows more objects to be identified and better adaptation of cleaning behaviour. Both recognise pets, detect curtains and feature LED for night vision.
Remote camera access is available on both models, allowing home monitoring from the app. Both incorporate CleanGenius intelligent cleaning systems with AI stain recognition.
Autonomy and Battery
Battery capacity is identical: 6,400 mAh on both robots. However, the Dreame X60 Pro Ultra mentions a Power Master technology that isn't detailed on the Mova. Exact autonomy in minutes isn't specified for either, although with batteries of this capacity it's usual for them to cover homes of over 200 square metres without problems.
Intelligent Functions
The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra overcomes single steps, without specifying the exact height, whilst the Mova Z50 Ultra reaches 22 mm. This capability proves useful for moving between rooms with small level changes or climbing onto thick carpets without getting stuck.
Both robots integrate their own voice assistant and are compatible with Alexa and Google Home. Neither incorporates a robotic arm.
Multifunction Cleaning Base
Both bases perform auto-emptying of the dust container, mop washing with hot water and drying with hot air. The difference lies in the self-cleaning of the washing tray: the Dreame X60 Pro Ultra cleans it with hot water, whilst the Mova doesn't include this function. Keeping the tray where the mops are washed clean prevents dirt accumulation and bad odours in the medium term.
Dust bag capacity is larger on the Mova: 4 litres versus 3.2 litres. This means fewer bag changes, although the difference isn't decisive in daily use. Regarding water tanks, the Mova has 4.5 litres of clean water and 4 litres of dirty water, whilst the Dreame has 4.2 litres of clean and 3 litres of dirty water. The differences are minimal and both offer sufficient autonomy for several mopping sessions.
The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra offers an optional plumbing connection kit that's purchased separately, allowing automation of water filling and emptying. The Mova doesn't have this option. Neither includes integrated connection from the factory.
Both bases feature a detergent tank to dispense product during mop washing. Neither incorporates UV disinfection.
Dimensions
The diameter is identical on both: 350 mm. The critical difference lies in height. The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra measures 79.5 mm, whilst the Mova Z50 Ultra reaches 111 mm. We're talking about more than 3 centimetres difference, something that can determine whether the robot passes under certain furniture, sofas or beds or not.
In homes with low furniture, the Dreame has a clear advantage. If your furniture is more than 12 cm high, both will pass without problem. Base dimensions are only available for the Mova: 390 mm wide, 545 mm high and 463.3 mm deep. The Dreame doesn't specify these measurements.
Real-world usage experience
For large homes, both robots offer 6,400 mAh batteries sufficient to cover extensive surfaces. The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra's greater power proves advantageous in houses with carpets or floors with joints where dirt accumulates. The Mova, with its 19,000 Pa, works well on hard floors and thin carpets, although it may show limitations on long-pile carpets.
If you have pets, the Dreame's dual HyperStream brush is specifically designed to prevent hair tangles, which reduces maintenance. The Mova's TriCut cuts hair, but requires periodic checking. The Dreame's greater power also helps vacuum hair embedded in carpets.
Regarding mopping, the Dreame's 45°C water dissolves grease better in kitchens. The 21.5 mm lift of its mops guarantees they don't touch carpets when passing over them. The Mova, with only 7 mm lift, may brush against thick carpets. The Dreame's automatic mop removal adds convenience if you alternate vacuum-only days.
The Dreame X60 Pro Ultra's height is decisive if you need the robot to access under low furniture. At 79.5 mm, it enters spaces where the 111 mm Mova doesn't fit. This can mean the difference between cleaning or not under beds, sofas or wardrobes with low legs.
The Dreame's hot water self-cleaning of the washing tray reduces manual base maintenance. On the Mova you'll have to clean it yourself periodically. The Dreame's plumbing connection kit, although optional, allows total automation if you don't want to refill tanks.
Conclusion: Which to choose?
Choose the Dreame X60 Pro Ultra if: You're looking for maximum suction power for carpets or you have pets that shed a lot of hair. If you need the robot to pass under low furniture, its 79.5 mm height is unbeatable. You value mopping with hotter water, greater mop lift and the convenience of automatic mop removal. The dual HyperStream brush system and skirting board brush add versatility. Self-cleaning of the tray reduces maintenance.
Choose the Mova Z50 Ultra if: You prefer an option with larger dust bag capacity (4 litres) and somewhat more generous water tanks. You don't have height restrictions under furniture and the 111 mm isn't a problem. The 180 mm mopping roller covers more surface with each pass. You're looking for a complete 2025 device with excellent value for money, without needing the Dreame's extreme power. The 19,000 Pa is sufficient for most homes with hard floors and thin carpets.
For homes with thick carpets, long-haired pets or low furniture, the Dreame X60 Pro Ultra offers clear advantages. For homes with hard floors without height restrictions, the Mova Z50 Ultra performs perfectly with a complete and well-balanced system.
