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

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.
MOVA Diver A10
Cordless operation keeps cables off the deck, but it needs retrieving and about five hours of charging between runs.
EFTM saw it climb walls and steps, while Digital Reviews Network still had to tidy steps, corners and a beach entry.
Roborock RockAqua P1
A first pool robot from a vacuum maker: the camera and route-planning know-how is proven indoors, the underwater hardware is not.
Shallow-ledge cleaning is the headline claim, and nobody outside Roborock has shown it working on a real sun shelf yet.
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.
MOVA Diver A10
- Pools with beach entries or sun shelves
- Digital Reviews Network saw it miss spots on a beach entry and stop in shallow water until a firmware update, citing a 30 cm minimum depth.
- Owners who want a truly set-and-forget cleaner
- EFTM found six of its eight modes keep running until the battery reaches 9%, and it must be removed and recharged between runs.
- Back-to-back cleaning sessions
- EFTM measured almost five hours to recharge from 9% to full.
- Owners who want voice-assistant control
- EFTM could not pair it with Google Home or run it from a Siri shortcut.
Roborock RockAqua P1
- Anyone who needs a pool robot this season
- It cannot be bought anywhere yet. The earliest reported launch is January 2027 in Australia and New Zealand, with no price and no US date.
- Buyers who rely on an established repair network
- This is Roborock's first pool robot. Its parts channel, warranty terms and service path for submerged hardware have not been published.
- Very large pools needing a published size rating
- Roborock has published a runtime of up to 3.5 hours but no maximum pool length or area, so fit for a large pool cannot be checked yet.
- Pools with persistent algae on plaster walls
- No brush type, scrub mechanism or wall-cleaning cycle detail has been published, so performance on stuck algae is undocumented.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
MOVA Diver A10
- After every use: Remove, empty and hose-rinse the 3.5 L debris basket and filter, per Digital Reviews Network and EFTM.
- After every use: Recharge the battery; EFTM measured almost five hours from 9% to full.
- After every use: Let water drain out of the robot before carrying it indoors, per EFTM.
- As needed: Brush steps, corners and beach entries the robot misses, per Digital Reviews Network.
- As needed: Replace worn tracks, roller brush film and filters; MOVA sells each as a spare.
Roborock RockAqua P1
- After every use: Retrieve the robot from the waterline and empty the 4-liter basket.
- After every use: Rinse the two-stage 180 and 70 micron filters.
- After every use: Recharge the battery before the next cycle.
- As needed: Clear hair or debris from brushes and drive surfaces.
- Seasonally: Clean, dry and store the robot out of direct sun at the end of the season.
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.
