Overview
- Home&smart reporting in late July highlights that a robot’s navigation, main brush mechanics and airflow matter far more for cleaning than the number of visible side brushes.
- MOVA’s V70 Ultra Complete, which has been on sale since its May launch, markets system-level upgrades such as 40,000 Pa suction, extendable brushes and mopp attachments that reach into tight corners, 9 cm obstacle climbing and a station that washes mops at high temperature.
- DREAME demonstrated the Cyber X stair-climbing module in May and says it will sell the accessory for €1,199 with a planned second-half‑2026 rollout, but reviewers note it is a previewed add‑on that raises questions about climb time, battery use and true stair-edge coverage.
- Independent CHIP lab tests of window robots published this week show the Ecovacs W2S Omni cleans closest to frames and is the quietest model at 21.3 Sone while compact models like the Mova N1 trade corner performance and station convenience for lower size and price, and the tests stress there is no truly untethered window robot for safety.
- Recent reviews and comparisons underline practical trade-offs consumers face—noise, corner coverage, residue on sticky stains, station convenience and cost—which means buyers should match features such as heated mop stations or stair modules to their home layout and cleaning needs.
