01 Classification
What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.
V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help

02 Assessment
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

04 Ownership
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Dyson R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV
A stain it can see gets washed until it clears; a stain it cannot classify gets the ordinary pass, and Dyson’s own footnote concedes results vary by stain type.
Hot-water roller washing in the dock removes the grimiest chore, at the cost of a dock that heats water to 70°C beside the floor it serves.
MOVA Mobius 60
Automatic MopSwap: the dock selects and fits one of three pads per room with no owner involvement. Floor-specific mopping costs a larger station and three consumable pad sets to keep in rotation.
StepMaster 2.0 retractable legs clear 80 mm (3.15 in) against a category norm nearer 20 mm. Raised thresholds and single steps between rooms stop being no-go zones; the moving legs are hardware a fixed chassis does not have.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Dyson R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV
- Buyers who need independently tested suction and stain detection
- The 30,000 Pa rating and the near-200-substance recognition are Dyson claims. Dyson's own footnote says results may vary by stain type and severity, and no third-party test exists yet.
- Homes that are mostly carpet or high-pile rugs
- Dyson has not published how the wet roller behaves on carpet, whether it lifts, or a carpet cleaning figure for the R3. The stain loop is described only for hard floors.
- Shoppers comparing runtime, size and noise before buying
- No robot dimensions, weight, battery capacity, runtime or noise rating appear in any launch material or Dyson page reviewed for this record.
- Buyers in the UK or Australia wanting one this year
- Vacuum Wars reports the UK and Australian launch following in early 2027, and Digital Reviews Network says Australian pricing has not been announced.
- Buyers who need a documented navigation sensor suite
- Launch coverage names a camera, green illumination and UV light for stain detection, but Dyson has not described how the R3 maps rooms or which sensors it navigates by.
MOVA Mobius 60
- Homes needing verified deep-pile carpet performance
- MOVA fits a pressure-retention baffle to concentrate the 30,000 Pa on carpet, plus triple anti-tangle mechanisms for hair. Deep shag performance is not documented for this model.
- Homes with a single uniform floor surface
- MopSwap's value is fitting a different pad per room. A house that is all one flooring type uses one pad and leaves the mechanism's range unexercised.
- Homes with complex multi-level layouts or frequent rearrangement
- Mapping stability degrades when furniture moves frequently; re-mapping intervention needed.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Dyson R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV
- As needed: Empty the bagless dock bin; Dyson claims up to 100 days of dry debris storage, per Journal du Geek.
- As needed: Refill clean water and empty dirty water; Dyson has not published R3 tank capacities.
- Weekly: Check the full-width microfiber roller and its 40 mm edge-extension mechanism for wrapped hair.
- Monthly: Wipe the camera and UV illumination windows so stain recognition is not reading through grime.
- As needed: Replace the microfiber roller when worn; no interval or part price is published yet.
- As needed: Clear the dock’s cyclone transfer path if debris stops moving from robot to dock.
MOVA Mobius 60
- Weekly: Refill the clean water tank and empty the dirty water tank at the station.
- Monthly: Wipe dock contacts and the refill port; replace the filter when the app flags it.
- Every 3-6 months: Inspect the three MopSwap pads for fraying and replace worn ones.
- As needed: Replace the station dust bag when the app reports it full; the station empties the robot into it automatically.
- Annually: Inspect brush bristles; replace main brush if worn.
05 Evidence
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
