Overview
- Reviewers named the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete X the current test leader after late‑June lab and real‑world testing that praised its 40,000 Pa suction, 12–16 cm extendable brushes and 9 cm obstacle climb for reaching deep edges.
- Manufacturers are racing on suction and dock features so that many premium models now ship with all‑in‑one stations that auto‑empty dust, dose cleaning fluid, wash mop pads with hot water and dry them with hot air.
- DREAME revealed the Cyber X stair‑climbing module at an event in Chantilly and plans a commercial launch in the second half of 2026 with a €1,199 price tag and limited compatibility to X60 Pro robots, while notes from the demo showed about 27 seconds per stair step up the rise.
- Retail deal roundups in late June highlighted deep discounts on capable entry robots that offer LiDAR navigation and strong suction for the money but do not include automatic emptying or mop‑washing stations, for example a Lidl Roborock Q7 Pro offer for €129.
- Tests and comparisons warn buyers about concrete tradeoffs between the two streams: paying more mostly buys full automation and tougher obstacle handling while cheaper models deliver core suction and mapping but require manual dust and mop care.
