All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | Eureka J15 Max Ultra | V70 Ultra Complete |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodFlagship capable but exceeds compact-home needs; a mid-tier model provides the same Level III performance for less. | GoodA 6,400 mAh battery with recharge-and-resume covers a compact home comfortably. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodIdeal fit. LiDAR multi-room scheduling, dock autonomy, and corner arm all justify the full feature set. | GoodMOVA lists a Smart Resume function that recharges and continues where a run stopped. |
| Over 3,000 | DependsRuntime unknown. If battery < 90 min, multi-floor homes may need dock repositioning mid-cycle or secondary unit. | DependsNo runtime or coverage figure is published, so large homes may need several recharge cycles. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | GoodLiDAR navigates hard floors reliably. Mop adds value; hot-water wash suits sealed wood and tile. | GoodPads spin at 300 rpm under 15 N, and a hands-on review saw them scrub dried spots rather than smear. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodStandard performance. Mop pad lifts automatically; corner arm picks up edge dust typical in low-pile homes. | GoodPads lift 10.5 mm on carpet or stay in the dock for vacuum-only runs, per a hands-on review. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | PoorMop interaction with deep pile unproven. Suction loss on shag documented in prior Eureka models. | DependsA 10.5 mm lift may not clear dense pile; leave the pads in the dock for those rooms. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. |
| Light mopping | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. |
| Frequent mopping | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. |
| Upkeep you accept | ||
| Regular upkeep | GoodAbout 120 minutes of upkeep a month. | GoodAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Some upkeepthey differ | DependsAbout 120 minutes of upkeep a month, which is over an hour. | GoodAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Minimal upkeepthey differ | PoorAbout 120 minutes of upkeep a month, which is over an hour. | DependsAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. Minimal is 30 or less. |
A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Charge time, Noise, Weight.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
The extending brush and mop respond to geometry, not to dirt: the robot pushes them out when it detects a corner, an edge or a table leg, and it has no way to tell a clean corner from a dirty one.
The dock’s wash and dry cycle runs on consumables: mop pads, filters, brushes and dust bags all replace on wear. Eureka lists no detergent cartridge and the base tray cleans itself, so the recurring spend is parts rather than chemistry.
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 a hands-on review flagged.
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

| MOVA V70 Ultra Complete | Verified | 11 | Sep 2026 |
Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
