Overview
- Independent reviews this week show multiple 2026 flagships competing on distinct strengths rather than a single dominant design.
- MOVA’s recent launches claim big hardware gains including 40,000 Pa suction, up to 9 cm obstacle clearance, 100°C mop washing in the dock and extendable side brushes and mops that reach as far as 12–16 cm.
- home&smart’s lab testing praises the MOVA Z70’s roller wiper with a 96/100 score while noting the V70’s advertised hardware needs broader real‑world verification.
- Dreame’s Cyber X is a stair‑climb module for X60 Pro robots priced at about €1,199 that demoed slow climbs (roughly 27 seconds per step), cleans on descent with a rear brush and currently leaves some tread edges uncovered; shipping is planned for H2 2026.
- Reviewers warn that visible features like extra side brushes or headline Pascal numbers do not guarantee better cleaning because navigation, main‑brush design, airflow and dock/wiper integration determine real results, so buyers should match features, price and household layout before choosing.
