Overview
- Recent coverage on Wednesday and Thursday highlighted a wave of flagship launches and demonstrations that emphasize hardware upgrades and station features.
- MOVA’s new V70 was shown with 40,000 Pa suction, a 9 cm obstacle‑climb capability and a station that washes mops at up to 100°C, plus long‑reach extendable brushes for edges.
- Dreame demonstrated the Cyber X as a stair‑climbing module that docks to X60 robots, will sell for €1,199 and is slated for release in the second half of 2026.
- Comparative testing found a clear tradeoff: rotating roller systems lift dried stains in one pass while mop‑pad designs reach edges better but can smear soil and often need repeat passes.
- Ownership questions remain central for buyers because batteries typically fall off after 2–4 years, station pumps are common failure points, warranties are usually two years and past cloud shutdowns have reduced the usefulness of otherwise working devices.
