Introduction
Mova, Dreame's second brand, has launched three high-end proposals in 2025 that share many similarities but hide important differences inside. The Mova P50 Ultra, the Mova P50s Ultra and the Mova V50 Ultra form a family of robot vacuum cleaners with multifunctional base designed for users seeking complete autonomy in home cleaning. All three include mop washing and drying with hot air, automatic dust bin emptying and advanced navigation systems, but each one brings nuances that are worth analysing in detail.
These are devices designed for medium and large-sized homes, where mopping is not a token function but a real necessity. The presence of a multifunctional base in all models ensures that the mops are washed during the cleaning process, something that makes the difference between superficial mopping and truly effective mopping.
Power and Suction
The 5,000 Pa difference between the P50 Ultra and its bigger siblings is significant on paper. With 19,000 Pa, the basic model offers more than sufficient power for most homes, but the 24,000 Pa of the P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra provide an extra margin that is especially noticeable on medium-pile carpets or when there is accumulated dirt in parquet joints.
Where the difference becomes most relevant is in the brushing system. The P50 Ultra has a simple brush, whilst the P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra incorporate Mova's dual HyperStream brush. This system with two brushes anchored at one end drastically reduces hair tangles, something that any home with pets or people with long hair will appreciate on a daily basis. All three models include an extendable, liftable and anti-tangle side brush, which ensures good cleaning in corners and edges.
The main brush lifts during mopping in all three cases, preventing it from getting unnecessarily wet and extending its lifespan. This function is especially practical when the robot alternates between vacuuming and mopping areas in the same session.
Mopping
All three Mova robot vacuum cleaners have two rotating mops with edge extension and Roboswing movement, that characteristic swaying that allows the mop to get under overhangs and furniture. The 10.5 mm lift is identical on all, sufficient to climb onto thin carpets without wetting them.
The V50 Ultra stands out with hot water from the robot itself to mop the floor, a function that improves the dissolution of grease and adhered dirt. The P50 Ultra and P50s Ultra mop with cold water, although both wash the mops with hot water in the base. This difference may seem subtle, but in kitchens or areas with heavy traffic, hot water during mopping makes a real difference.
The P50 Ultra cannot automatically remove the mops at the base, which means that if you want to do just a vacuuming pass after having mopped, you'll have to remove them manually. The P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra do include this function, providing greater versatility without user intervention.
Dirt detection both on the mops and on the floor is absent on the P50 Ultra. The other two models analyse the dirt level and adjust the number of passes or return to re-mop especially dirty areas. In practice, this translates into more intelligent mopping that doesn't treat a kitchen after cooking the same as a lightly trafficked hallway.
Navigation System
Here we find important differences in navigation architecture. The P50 Ultra uses a traditional LiDAR turret, that small cylinder that protrudes from the top of the robot and explains its greater height of 97 mm. The P50s Ultra incorporates FlashPulse technology, whilst the V50 Ultra has a retractable LiDAR that hides when not in use, allowing the height to be reduced to 89.5 mm.
The P50s Ultra reaches 82.5 mm in height, making it the lowest of the three and the one that best slides under low furniture, sofas or beds with little space. This difference of up to 14.5 mm compared to the P50 Ultra can determine whether or not the robot accesses certain areas of your home.
The absence of an AI camera on the P50 Ultra limits its recognition capabilities. It doesn't identify pets, doesn't allow remote access for surveillance and lacks LED for night vision. The P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra have dual cameras with recognition of up to 200 types of obstacles, identify pets and allow you to connect from your mobile to see what's happening at home. All three detect curtains and have a front 3D laser sensor to avoid collisions.
Autonomy and Battery
The P50 Ultra has a 5,200 mAh battery, whilst the P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra go up to 6,400 mAh. This 1,200 mAh difference translates into greater autonomy, although we only know the specific figure for the V50 Ultra: 220 minutes of continuous operation.
For homes of more than 150 square metres or multi-storey flats, the greater battery capacity of the P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra provides peace of mind. The P50 Ultra may require intermediate recharges on large surfaces, something the robot manages automatically but which extends the total cleaning time.
Smart Functions
The P50 Ultra overcomes obstacles up to 22 mm in height, a specific figure that allows it to overcome small unevenness or the edge of thick carpets. The P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra indicate the ability to overcome simple thresholds without specifying the exact height, although from similar characteristics in the range it's usually in the same range.
Only the P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra include a built-in voice assistant, in addition to compatibility with Alexa and Google Home. This allows you to give orders directly to the robot without going through your mobile, something that is convenient for starting quick cleans or sending the robot to specific areas using voice commands.
Multifunctional Cleaning Base
All three models share a base with the same dimensions: 420 mm wide, 470 mm high and 458 mm deep. All include a 3.2-litre dust bag, 4-litre clean water tank and 3.5-litre dirty water tank. Mop washing is carried out with hot water and drying with hot air in all three cases, also incorporating third-generation self-cleaning of the washing tray.
UV disinfection is only present on the P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra, adding an extra hygienisation step after washing the mops. It's not essential, but it provides peace of mind in homes with young children or people with allergies.
The detergent tank marks another clear difference. The P50 Ultra offers it as optional, which means buying it separately if you want the base to dispense product during mop washing. The P50s Ultra includes it as standard with a single tank, whilst the V50 Ultra incorporates a dual tank, allowing you to use two types of detergent or specific products depending on the type of floor or dirt level.
None of the three offers connection to water pipes or an optional kit for this, so you'll have to manually refill the clean water tank and empty the dirty water tank from time to time.
Dimensions
The 350 mm diameter is identical on all three robots, but the height varies significantly. The P50s Ultra with its 82.5 mm fits under practically any standard furniture. The V50 Ultra with 89.5 mm maintains a low profile thanks to the retractable LiDAR. The P50 Ultra reaches 97 mm due to its traditional LiDAR turret, which may prevent it from accessing low sofas or certain types of bed.
This height difference doesn't affect cleaning capacity in open areas, but it determines what percentage of your home the robot can cover autonomously. It's advisable to measure the spaces under furniture before deciding, especially if there are areas where dust accumulates and you want the robot to clean them without having to move furniture.
Real-world user experience
The P50 Ultra fits well in medium-sized homes, up to 100-120 square metres, where the presence of pets is not a critical factor. Its simple brush requires more maintenance if there is long hair, and the absence of dirt detection means it will always mop in the same way regardless of the actual dirt level. The lack of automatic mop removal requires manual intervention if you want to alternate between days of vacuuming only and days of complete mopping.
The P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra are designed for more demanding homes. The dual HyperStream brush drastically reduces maintenance in homes with pets or long hair. Dirt detection optimises both mopping and mop washing, avoiding unnecessary passes in clean areas and reinforcing cleaning where it's really needed. Remote camera access adds a surveillance function that can be useful if you have pets and want to see what they're doing during the day.
For large or multi-storey homes, the greater battery of the P50s Ultra and V50 Ultra makes the difference. The V50 Ultra adds hot water for mopping from the robot and a dual detergent tank, making it the most complete option for those seeking the best possible result without compromises.
The height of the P50s Ultra makes it the best option if your home has lots of low furniture or tight spaces under beds and sofas. The V50 Ultra offers a good balance between contained height and complete features, whilst the P50 Ultra may be limited in homes where access under furniture is important.
Conclusion: Which one to choose?
Choose the Mova P50 Ultra if you're looking for a robot vacuum cleaner with complete multifunctional base at a more competitive price, your home doesn't exceed 100-120 square metres, you don't have pets that shed a lot of hair and you don't mind manually removing the mops when you want to do just a vacuuming pass. Also if the furniture in your home allows sufficient clearance for its 97 mm height.
Choose the Mova P50s Ultra if you need the lowest robot of the three to access under furniture with little space, you have pets or long hair at home and value the dual anti-tangle brush, you want intelligent dirt detection to optimise mopping, you're interested in remote camera access for surveillance or you simply want greater autonomy without jumping to the top model. UV disinfection and the included detergent tank as standard are additional advantages over the P50 Ultra.
