Introduction
This comparison pits three high-end robot vacuum cleaners with multifunctional bases against each other. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra arrives in 2025 as a technology-packed model, whilst the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X was launched in 2024 and the Roborock Qrevo S5V completes the trio in 2025. All three integrate auto-emptying, mop washing and hot air drying systems, which guarantee minimal maintenance and consistent mopping.
We're talking about devices designed for medium or large homes where the user seeks total automation. The main difference lies in the artificial intelligence, advanced navigation systems and some details in power and base capacity that can make a difference to the daily experience.
Power and Suction
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra leads with 19,000 Pa, a figure that slightly exceeds the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X's 18,500 Pa. The difference can be noticeable on medium or long pile carpets, where every extra pascal helps extract embedded dirt. The Roborock Qrevo S5V stays at 12,000 Pa, more than sufficient power for hard floors and thin carpets, though somewhat limited if you live with pets that shed abundantly.
As for the main brush, the Mova opts for the TriCut 3.0, which combines bristles with blades designed to cut tangled hair. The two Roborock models mount the DuoDivide system, which pushes hair towards the centre of the brush to facilitate direct suction and reduce tangles. Both approaches work well, although the DuoDivide usually requires less manual maintenance.
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra lifts the main brush during mopping, preventing it from getting wet and accumulating damp dirt. The Roborock models keep the brush fixed, which may require more frequent cleaning if you alternate vacuuming and mopping in the same session.
The side brush lifts on the Mova during mopping, a detail that prevents splashing and keeps the brush dry. The Roborock models don't incorporate this function. The Mova and the Curv S5X have an extendable side brush to better sweep corners; the S5V lacks this feature. All three models integrate an anti-tangle side brush.
Mopping
All three robots mop with two rotating mops. The Mova spins at 180 RPM, whilst the Roborock models reach 200 RPM. In practice, that difference in revolutions is barely noticeable; what makes the difference is how the mops behave at the edges.
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra incorporates RoboSwing movement, which allows the robot to make a small wiggle to get the mop under furniture or overhangs. All three models extend the mops towards the edges, but the RoboSwing adds extra reach that can prove useful in kitchens with skirting boards or low furniture.
Mop lift reaches 10.5 mm on the Mova and 10 mm on the Roborock models. Sufficient to climb onto short pile carpets without wetting them, although it's advisable to define no-mop zones if you have thick carpets.
The Mova detects dirt both on the mops and on the floor, which triggers additional scrubbing or washing. The Curv S5X also integrates this dual detection, but the S5V lacks it. In homes with children or pets, this function can make the difference between a superficial mop and a truly deep one.
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra automatically removes the mops at the base if you schedule a vacuum-only session. The Roborock models don't offer this option, so you'll have to remove the mops manually if you don't want to drag them dry across the floor.
Navigation System
All three robots navigate with 360° LIDAR turret, which guarantees precise maps and efficient routes. The difference lies in the artificial intelligence and recognition systems.
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra mounts dual AI camera and front 3D laser sensor, capable of recognising up to 160 different obstacles. It identifies pets, curtains, cables and small objects with precision. Additionally, it integrates night vision LED to operate in dark rooms and allows remote access to the camera from the app, useful for monitoring pets or the home whilst you're away.
The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X foregoes AI camera, 3D laser sensor and front LED. It relies on its obstacle avoidance system and the RR Mason 11.0 algorithm, which optimises routes and detects basic obstacles. The S5V also doesn't include camera or 3D laser sensor.
The Mova executes intelligent cleaning with CleanGenius 2.0, which adjusts power and passes according to the detected dirt level. The Roborock models use SmartPlan 2.0 on the Curv S5X and SmartPlan 1.0 on the S5V, systems that plan efficient routes but without the Mova's level of customisation.
Autonomy and Battery
All three mount 5,200 mAh batteries. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra offers 210 minutes of autonomy, compared to 180 minutes for the two Roborock models. That extra half hour can be decisive in homes over 150 m² with multiple rooms, where the robot needs to complete the entire cleaning without intermediate recharges.
Smart Functions
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra overcomes obstacles up to 22 mm, which allows it to cross door thresholds or small level changes between rooms without getting stuck. The Roborock models reach 20 mm, sufficient for most homes, although those 2 mm can make the difference in houses with uneven floors or high thresholds.
The Mova integrates its own voice assistant, which allows you to control the robot with direct commands without needing to go through Alexa or Google Home. All three models are compatible with external assistants.
Multifunctional Cleaning Base
All three bases auto-empty the dust bin, wash and dry the mops with hot air at 45°C. The difference lies in the washing water temperature and some capacity details.
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra and the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X wash the mops with hot water at 75°C, which disinfects better and removes adhered grease. The Roborock Qrevo S5V washes with cold water, less effective for difficult stains.
The Mova incorporates third-generation washing tray self-cleaning, which minimises residue and bad odours. The Curv S5X mounts version 2.0, also effective. The S5V doesn't include tray self-cleaning, which requires manual cleaning from time to time.
The Mova includes a detergent tank, which dispenses product during mop washing to improve cleaning. The Roborock models don't integrate this option.
The Mova's dust bag has a capacity of 3.2 litres, the largest of the three. The Curv S5X stays at 2.5 litres and the S5V at 2.7 litres. In homes with pets or lots of dust, that extra capacity can translate into less frequent bag changes.
The clean water tanks are 4 litres on all three models. Dirty water accumulates in 3.5 litres on the Mova and S5V, and in 3 litres on the Curv S5X.
Dimensions
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra measures 350 mm in diameter and 103.8 mm in height. It's the tallest of the three, which may hinder access under very low furniture. The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X has 352 mm diameter and 98 mm height. The Roborock Qrevo S5V is the lowest, with 96.5 mm height and 353 mm diameter. If you have sofas or beds with little clearance, the S5V can slip under better.
The bases also vary. The Mova's measures 420 mm wide, 470 mm high and 458 mm deep. The Curv S5X's is more square, with 450 mm in all three dimensions. The S5V's is narrower (340 mm) but taller (521 mm) and deeper (487 mm). It's advisable to measure the available space before deciding.
Real-World Experience
The Mova P50 Pro Ultra stands out in large homes with pets, where the dual AI camera, recognition of 160 obstacles and greater autonomy make the difference. The ability to automatically remove the mops and the detergent tank simplify maintenance. The 3.2-litre dust bag reduces the frequency of changes. The 103.8 mm height may limit access under some furniture, but the RoboSwing compensates by getting the mop under overhangs.
The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X works well in medium-sized homes without pets, where you don't need advanced obstacle recognition. The 18,500 Pa power and hot water washing guarantee good results. The base is compact and square, easy to position. The DuoDivide brush reduces hair tangles, although don't count on main brush lifting during mopping.
The Roborock Qrevo S5V is the most budget-friendly option, suitable for small or medium homes with hard floors and no thick carpets. The 12,000 Pa is sufficient for daily maintenance, but may fall short if you have pets or carpets. The cold water washing and absence of dirt detection make it a more basic model. The 96.5 mm height is its best asset for slipping under low furniture.
Conclusion: Which to Choose?
Choose the Mova P50 Pro Ultra if you're looking for maximum automation and technology. The dual AI camera, pet recognition, remote camera access and automatic mop removal make it the most complete. Ideal for large houses with pets, children and need for remote monitoring. The 3.2-litre dust bag and detergent tank add convenience. The investment is greater, but so is the user experience.
Choose the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X if you prefer Roborock's reliability without sacrificing power and hot water washing. It works well in medium-sized homes where you don't need advanced obstacle recognition or camera. The RR Mason 11.0 algorithm and DuoDivide brush guarantee solid results. The compact base facilitates positioning. Good option if you value an established brand and don't need the Mova's most advanced functions.
Choose the Roborock Qrevo S5V if you're looking for a more accessible high-end solution for small or medium homes without pets. The 96.5 mm height allows it to slip under low furniture better than the other two.
