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
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own

Assisted
Runs preset routines, needs rescue
I
Manual
One action, on command
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.

03 Measured against the class
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

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 V70 Ultra Complete
Reaching arms clean what a round robot circles around, and they add two more moving mechanisms to keep working.
Bagless emptying saves the cost of bags; the price is a loud empty cycle that Gear Diary flagged.
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 V70 Ultra Complete
- Households sensitive to a loud dock
- Gear Diary found the auto-empty cycle loud, though short.
- Floors with grout lines and dried residue in joints
- Basic Tutorials found dried residue in floor joints needed multiple passes, even though open-surface coffee stains cleared in one.
- Homes with low desk bases and platform furniture
- Basic Tutorials saw obstacle detection that was mostly reliable but once tried to climb a desk base.
- Buyers who want a camera-free robot
- The MOVA app includes remote camera viewing, per Basic Tutorials, so the robot carries a camera through the home.
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 V70 Ultra Complete
- Weekly: Refill the 4 L clean-water tank and empty the 3.5 L dirty-water tank; Gear Diary got at least three mopping sessions per fill.
- Every 3-6 months: Empty and wash the bagless EcoCyclone dust container, rated for up to 100 days.
- As needed: Refill the two cleaning-solution compartments.
- Monthly: Rinse the dust container filter and wipe the DToF sensor and cliff sensors.
- As needed: Replace mop pads, side brush and main brush as they wear; spares ship in the box.
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.
