MOVA has been causing quite a stir in the field of smart household helpers for some time now. After all, the DREAME subsidiary quickly made a name for itself with robot hoovers and vacuum cleaners that offer high performance at a comparatively fair price. With the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete, the manufacturer has now launched another all-in-one vacuum and mopping robot onto the market. With strong suction power, an innovative mopping roller, automatic refill and cleaning station and intelligent navigation, the system promises a virtually autonomous cleaning solution. In the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete test, we put the smart household helper through its paces.

MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Test: Design and workmanship
The MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete measures 350 x 350 x 96 mm when it is moving in circles with the LiDAR tower lowered. With the LiDAR tower extended, it measures 119.6 mm in height. This means that the MOVA is not a flat robot hoover. For comparison: A Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro (Review | € 999.00 *) is almost 2 cm flatter and therefore fits better under flat furniture. If you have extremely flat furniture, you should measure again.
The LiDAR tower, which can be retracted and extended, is located on the top. This is surrounded by a stylish illuminated ring, which we also know from the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete (Review | € 888.00 *), for example. Depending on the color, this is intended to indicate the status of the robot. The ring also houses a control unit. The two buttons can be used to start and stop the Z60 or to send it to the station.
The inner workings can be accessed under a magnetically held cover. This allows the dust container to be removed and the individual QR code to be scanned for setup. The SmartSight system, the camera technology for obstacle detection, is located at the front. Further sensors for edge detection are located on the side. The robot’s dirty water tank is located at the rear. This can be removed, which is very practical.
The main brush is located on the underside. Strictly speaking, this is actually two main brushes. We are already familiar with this duo design, which is designed to effectively prevent tangles, from the MOVA V50 Ultra Complete (Review | € 849.00 *). The side brush can be extended, which should ensure powerful cleaning of edges and corners. The wide mop roller is of course exciting.
This can also be extended to the side, which should enable edge-to-edge mopping. There are also large wheels and practical climbing aids to enable the V50 Ultra to overcome thresholds and other obstacles up to 8 cm high. The build quality of the robot hoover is of a high standard. The materials make a robust impression and there are no cracks or creaks anywhere. This is by no means a cheap model.
The base station, which is also beautifully finished and takes up quite a lot of space with its dimensions of 458 x 420 x 470 mm, leaves a similarly great impression. In view of the high-gloss finish, the surface is unfortunately somewhat susceptible to scratches and fingerprints. The 3,500 ml dirty water tank and the 4,000 ml fresh water tank can be accessed via the flap on the top. The flap on the front provides access to the 3,200 ml dust bag and the container for the cleaning solution.
MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller test: Navigation and obstacle detection
The Z60 relies on a retractable and extendable LiDAR tower for navigation. This is based on the proven Laser/Time-of-Flight (DToF) technology. This not only ensures precise spatial measurement. The system also works reliably during mapping. Once the detailed map had been created, the robot hoover drove through my rooms according to a sensible concept. It first cleaned the peripheral areas and then the interior.
The obstacle detection is also impressive. The MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete relies on a combination of cameras, cross laser, sensors and subsequent AI evaluation. With the SmartSight system, the camera unit is supported by an LED so that the system can also find its way around in dark environments.
However, you need to give the system a little time to learn. In the test, the robot reliably recognized even small obstacles such as flat cables. Nevertheless, it has to be said that models such as a DJI Romo P (Review | € 1,499.00 *) or Narwal Flow (Review | € 1,299.00 *) offer even better obstacle detection and avoid objects more confidently.
According to MOVA, the smart household helper can distinguish between 200 different objects. The symbols in the app indicated that the Robo was indeed able to categorize the objects I had placed quite well.
MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller test: MOVA app
The MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete is controlled via the MOVAhome app. This scores with numerous setting options. For example, the maps can be managed and customized here. For example, you can set up exclusion zones and invisible walls or change the room allocation. You can also set schedules in which you define fixed cleaning times for the Z60.
In addition, the cleaning itself can be customized in detail. Not only can you choose between different suction and wiping levels. You can also specify whether you want to mop first, vacuum first or do both at the same time. In CleanGenius mode, the smart household helper takes the decision on suction and mopping power off your hands and decides how strong the cleaning should be based on AI.
You can also create a practical cleaning schedule so that you don’t have to start the Robo manually every time. You can also make adjustments to the base station. For example, you can adjust the temperature of the hot water wash and the duration of the subsequent drying process yourself. Alternatively, you can also leave these parameters to the Robo to decide.
MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller test: suction power
The Z60 Ultra Roller Complete has a suction power of a whopping 28,000 Pascal. This clearly puts it at the top of the market. It is therefore hardly surprising that it achieved excellent results in our suction test. This is not only due to the sheer power, but also the combination with a double roller system and the extendable side brush. I first had it vacuum a mixture of oat flakes, coffee beans and rice from my hard floor.
It mastered this challenge with flying colors, sucking up 96% of the dirt. The result on my short-pile carpet was similarly impressive. Here it collected 96 %. The results on my medium pile carpet were slightly less strong, but at 88% were still at a very high level, which is definitely appropriate for the flagship class. The handling of hair was also really great.
The double roller ensured that the pet hair from my dog and my two cats didn’t get tangled up. Instead, they were reliably guided to the suction chute and sucked in. All in all, I am really impressed with the suction power of the MOVA. The robot hoover is definitely one of the best models I’ve had the pleasure of testing so far. And that on both hard and carpeted floors.
MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller test: mopping performance
The mopping function of the Z60 is exciting in several respects. The most obvious is certainly the mopping roller itself. This is not only kept moist during cleaning by the robot’s internal water tank. It is also wiped and freed from collected dirt. This water in turn ends up in the smart household helper’s internal dirty water tank.
The combination of pressure, rotation and detergent ensures that even stubborn stains are reliably removed. Whether it was dried barbecue sauce or sticky jam. The Z60 was up to almost any challenge. This also applies to very damp dirt or puddles, which are quickly sucked up.
In the test, for example, it removed a puddle of coffee, which was no problem for it. This is a major advantage of the roller technology, which we also know from an Ecovacs DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone (Review | € 936.14 *). However, you sometimes have to allow the smart household helper some time for cleaning. But that shouldn’t be a problem.
Anyone who frequently has to deal with this type of soiling is therefore well advised to use such a device. Models with wiping pads, on the other hand, usually only spread such puddles and can only remove them after several cleaning trips. In contrast, however, mop pads often have an advantage when cleaning edges. This is also evident with the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete.
Even if the roller can be extended, it still leaves one to two centimetres of uncleaned area around flooring or furniture edges. A MOVA V50 Ultra is definitely more reliable in this respect. On carpets, the design of the mopping roller must be praised again. The MOVA does not simply lift the mop roller. Instead, it uses a cap that covers the damp roller. This prevents moisture from reaching the carpet fibers.
MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller test: All-in-one station
The range of functions of the MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete all-in-one station is really impressive. It vacuums the robot’s dust container after every cleaning session. The collected dirt ends up in the station’s 3.2-liter dust bag. The AiO station also cleans the mopping roller. It works with 80°C hot water, which effectively kills bacteria and thus guarantees not only hygienic but also odor-free cleaning.
This is followed by hot air drying and, if desired, irradiation with UV light. After self-cleaning, the mopping roller is then as good as new and ready to go on a freshly cleaned cleaning tour again. The station also supplies the robot hoover with fresh water. It adds cleaning agent, which significantly increases mopping efficiency. The DuoSolution system allows you to use two different solutions at the same time.
In the app, you can specify which solution is to be used in which area/room. The station also empties the collected waste water that has accumulated in the Z60’s internal waste water tank. The feature-rich all-in-one station is really impressive. As it vacuums, cleans, supplies fresh water and removes dirty water from the Robo, it makes maintenance much easier for you as a user.
