- Which is better for pet hair?
- The MOVA P50 Pro Ultra has the edge on paper with 19,000Pa suction and a CleanChop anti-tangle brush. Owners specifically praise it for cat fur and litter. The Roomba's rubber brushes also resist tangles, but iRobot does not publish a suction figure.
- Which is better on carpet?
- The MOVA's higher rated suction and 0.85 gal dock capacity suit carpeted homes better. The Roomba Combo 10 Max is a combo mop unit and its suction is not published, so it is harder to judge for deep carpet cleaning.
- Is the MOVA worth the extra money?
- At the recent lows the gap is small: $403.75 for the MOVA on October 29, 2026 versus $399.99 for the Roomba on November 2, 2026. At that difference the MOVA's suction and mopping control are worth it unless you need a lighter robot or Siri.
- Which is easier to carry upstairs?
- The Roomba Combo 10 Max at 11 lb is far lighter than the 30 lb MOVA P50 Pro Ultra. If you move the robot between floors often, the Roomba is the practical pick.
- Do both wash their mops?
- Yes. The MOVA dock washes mops at 75°C and dries them with hot air. The Roomba's AutoWash dock also washes and dries the mop. The MOVA adds auto solution dosing and water refilling.
- Which holds more dust?
- The MOVA's 0.85 gal dock capacity is much larger than the Roomba's 0.1 gal onboard bin. The Roomba is bagless, though, so you never buy bags, while the MOVA uses dock bags.
