Introduction
This comparison brings together three of the most advanced robot vacuum cleaners on the market today: the 2025 Mova P50 Pro Ultra and two 2024 Roborock models, the Qrevo Curv S5X and the Qrevo Edge S5A. All three units belong to the premium range, with multifunctional bases that wash and dry mops with hot water and air, automatic dust emptying and intelligent navigation capabilities via LiDAR turret.
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra arrives as the most recent offering, whilst the two Roborock models represent established propositions from a globally recognised brand. Each has particular features that make them more suitable depending on the type of home, the presence of pets or cleaning requirements.
Power and Suction
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra leads in raw power with 19,000 Pa, a figure that exceeds the 18,500 Pa of the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A by 500 Pa. In homes with long-pile carpets or pets that shed a lot of hair, this difference can translate into more effective extraction of embedded dirt.
The brushing system shows different philosophies. The Mova opts for the TriCut 3.0, which combines bristles with blades to cut tangled hair. The two Roborock models feature the DuoDivide Antienredos, a design that pushes hair towards the central suction gap to minimise tangles. Both approaches work well, although the TriCut requires slightly more manual maintenance due to having bristles.
An important practical difference: the Mova P50 Pro Ultra can raise both the main and side brush during mopping. This prevents the brushes from getting wet or staining the mops, something especially useful in homes where vacuuming and mopping are constantly alternated. The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A do not offer this lifting, although they do have an extendable and anti-tangle side brush.
Mopping
All three robots use a dual rotating mop system, the current standard for effective mopping. The bases wash the mops with hot water and dry them with hot air, guaranteeing hygiene and preventing bad odours.
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra incorporates mop extension with active movement, similar to the Roboswing system. This means the robot can make small adjustments to get the mops under furniture overhangs or into difficult corners. The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A have mop extension, but without this additional movement.
In terms of lifting, the Mova reaches 10.5 mm compared to 10 mm for the two Roborock models. The difference is minimal in absolute terms, but the Mova adds a practical advantage: it can automatically remove the mops at the base when you only want to vacuum. The Roborock models do not have this function, which means you have to remove the mops manually if you don't want the robot to mop.
All three models detect dirt both on the mops and on the floor, adjusting washing or scrubbing as necessary. All mop with cold water in the robot's tank.
Navigation System
Here the most notable difference appears. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra integrates dual AI camera, front 3D laser sensor and LED for night vision. It can recognise up to 160 types of obstacles, including pets and curtains, and allows remote camera access from your mobile to monitor the home.
The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A are based on LiDAR turret and obstacle avoidance, but do not specify how many objects they recognise nor do they include an AI camera. They also do not offer pet recognition, curtain detection or remote camera access. They use the RR Mason 11.0 algorithm, whilst the Mova does not specify its CPU but does mention CleanGenius as an AI-powered intelligent cleaning system.
In practice, the Mova offers a superior level of interaction and supervision, especially useful if you have pets or want to visually check the cleaning status from outside the home. The Roborock models focus on efficient navigation without adding surveillance functions.
Battery Life and Battery
All three robots have 5,200 mAh batteries, but the Mova P50 Pro Ultra achieves 210 minutes of battery life compared to 180 minutes for the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A. Those extra 30 minutes can make the difference in large homes or with multiple rooms, reducing the need for the robot to return to the base mid-clean.
None of the three specify charging time or maximum recommended surface area, but with 210 minutes the Mova should easily cover homes of up to 200 m² in a single session.
Smart Functions
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra can overcome obstacles up to 22 mm, whilst the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A reach 20 mm. Those additional 2 mm may seem irrelevant, but they make it easier to pass over sliding door tracks or small level changes between rooms.
The Mova includes its own voice assistant, in addition to compatibility with Alexa and Google Home. The two Roborock models only offer integration with external assistants, without the robot's own voice.
Multifunctional Cleaning Base
All three bases perform automatic emptying of the dust container, mop washing with hot water and drying with hot air. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra incorporates third-generation tray self-cleaning, whilst the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A use version 2.0. In both cases these are automatic systems that keep the tray where the mops are washed clean, reducing manual maintenance.
Only the Mova P50 Pro Ultra integrates a detergent tank, which allows automatic dosing of cleaning product during mop washing. The Roborock models do not have this option.
The Mova's dust bag has a capacity of 3.2 litres, compared to 2.5 litres in the Qrevo Curv S5X and 2.7 litres in the Qrevo Edge S5A. If you have pets or vacuum very frequently, the Mova will require fewer bag changes. The clean water tanks are identical (4 litres), but the dirty water varies: 3.5 litres in the Mova and Qrevo Edge S5A, 3 litres in the Qrevo Curv S5X.
None of the three models include plumbing connection or optional kit for it. They also do not incorporate UV disinfection.
Dimensions
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra measures 350 mm in diameter and 103.8 mm in height. The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A have 352 mm diameter and 98 mm height. Those 5.8 mm difference can be decisive if you have low furniture: the Roborock models will fit more easily under sofas or beds with little space.
The bases have different configurations. The Mova's measures 420 mm wide, 470 mm high and 458 mm deep. The Qrevo Curv S5X has 450 mm in all three dimensions (almost perfect cube), whilst the Qrevo Edge S5A is narrower (340 mm wide) but taller (521 mm) and deeper (487 mm). Depending on the available space in your home, one or another configuration may fit better.
Real-World User Experience
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra stands out in large homes thanks to its 210 minutes of battery life and 3.2-litre bag. Its ability to automatically remove mops is convenient if you alternate vacuum-only days with mopping days. The dual AI camera and recognition of 160 obstacles make it especially suitable for homes with pets, as it can identify and avoid them without problems. Remote camera access adds a surveillance bonus.
The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X and Qrevo Edge S5A are more discreet in height, which makes cleaning under low furniture easier. Their DuoDivide Antienredos system works very well with pet hair, although they do not recognise animals via AI. The 180-minute battery life is sufficient for homes up to 150-170 m², and Roborock's reliability as a brand provides peace of mind regarding durability and technical support.
If you prioritise the most advanced technology, remote supervision and maximum battery life, the Mova offers a more complete package. If you're looking for proven efficiency, lower height and an established brand, the Roborock models are safe bets. The 500 Pa difference in suction can be noticeable on thick carpets, but on hard floors all three units perform similarly.
Conclusion: Which to Choose?
Choose the Mova P50 Pro Ultra if: You have a large home (over 150 m²), pets that require supervision, want remote camera access for surveillance, value maximum battery life (210 minutes) and are interested in automatic mop removal. Also if you're looking for the integrated detergent tank and the largest dust bag capacity (3.2 litres). Its greater height (103.8 mm) may limit access under some furniture, but it compensates with more advanced navigation technology.
Choose the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X if: You prefer a globally recognised brand, need a robot that fits under low furniture (98 mm height) and value proven reliability. Its compact base (450 mm in all dimensions) fits well in reduced spaces. Ideal for homes up to 150 m² without the need for camera surveillance functions. The DuoDivide Antienredos brush works very well with pet hair, although without AI recognition of animals.
Choose the Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A if: You're looking for the same as the Qrevo Curv S5X but with greater dust bag capacity (2.7 litres vs 2.5 litres) and dirty water tank (3.5 litres vs 3 litres). Its base is narrower (340 mm wide), which can be advantageous in tight spaces, although in return it is taller (521 mm) and deeper (487 mm). It maintains the robot's 98 mm height, perfect for cleaning under low furniture. Same 180-minute battery life and Roborock reliability.
