Up to three

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.

Where each one suits you.

The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.

Fit verdicts by condition for each robot
Condition MOVA P70 Pro Ultra Roomba Plus 515 Combo
Home size
Under 1,500 sqft GoodCapable but overkill for compact homes; suction power exceeds what small-space cleaning typically demands. GoodA 295-minute, 2,000 sq ft rating per charge covers a home this size in one run.
1,500 – 3,000 GoodOptimal range for multi-floor homes. Single-charge coverage handles 2-3 floor layouts with dock docking between floors. GoodiRobot rates a charge at 2,000 sq ft, covering most homes in this range in one run.
Over 3,000 Depends120-minute runtime may require multiple charging cycles on open-plan estates over 3500 sqft; two-dock setup not currently supported. DependsRated 2,000 sq ft per charge, and recharge-and-resume behavior is not documented for this model.
Primary floors
Hard floors Good30000Pa suction and heated-mop dock designed for sealed hard floors. Manufacturer specs and owner reports show strong edge and seam cleanup. GoodSpinning DualClean pads at 180 RPM with SmartScrub target dried spills on sealed hard floors.
Low / medium pile GoodLow-pile carpet cleaned effectively at full suction. No documented power loss or carpet-specific failures in owner forums. GoodCarpet detection lifts the pads 10 mm before crossing rugs, per iRobot.
High pile / shagthey differ PoorOwner reports document 40-50% suction loss and pad clogging on high-pile and shag carpets; motor thermal strain increases. DependsA 10 mm pad lift may not clear dense pile, and no independent carpet test exists for this model.
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.
You want to…
Empty bin myself GoodMonthly consumable swaps and quarterly dock cleaning required. Not suitable for owners avoiding any weekly/monthly labor. GoodHands-on upkeep is light; the dock handles debris, water and pad washing.
Empty occasionally GoodDock auto-empties and pads air-dry. Owner effort ~75 min/month for pad rinses, bag swaps, and filter maintenance. GoodOwner tasks come down to brush checks, adding solution and a tank service every few months.
Set-and-forgetthey differ DependsAuto-empty and heated pad-dry lower labor compared to cold-mop platforms, but consumable cadence and dock descaling prevent true hands-off operation. GoodiRobot rates the dock for up to three months without emptying bins or handling water.

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.
