Wet Mopping Becomes the Buying Point for Robot Vacuums

Recent tests plus retail discounts indicate consumers favor robots that deliver reliable mopping, station hygiene, and reach over raw suction

Overview

  • home&smart published consolidated test results on Thursday that name the MOVA Z70 Ultra Roller Complete, MOVA V70 Ultra Complete, and DJI ROMO 2 as the top performers for intensive wet mopping.
  • MOVA’s V70, which launched in May and is now widely sold in stores and online, pairs 40,000 Pa suction with extendable side brushes and moppads and a station that washes pads at 100°C and dries them at 70°C.
  • The MOVA Z70 uses a rotating roller at about 800 rpm plus 12 high‑pressure nozzles and 18 N of press force to remove stubborn stains that many other robots leave behind.
  • home&smart’s analysis finds side brushes mainly sweep debris toward the main brush and that navigation, main‑brush design, and airflow determine edge and overall cleaning more than brush count or RPM.
  • PC‑WELT’s Amazon deals roundup shows steep discounts on many models, which could speed adoption of advanced wet‑mopping features and shift buyer priorities toward station hygiene and reach.
