MOVA

Narwal
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.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | MOVA P70 Pro Ultra | Narwal Freo 20 Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodCapable but overkill for compact homes; suction power exceeds what small-space cleaning typically demands. | GoodContinuous mid-run mop self-cleaning avoids dock interruptions, well suited to compact single-level layouts. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodOptimal range for multi-floor homes. Single-charge coverage handles 2-3 floor layouts with dock docking between floors. | GoodLiDAR mapping and 31,000 Pa suction target this range; dock automation keeps multi-room runs low-effort. |
| Over 3,000 | Depends120-minute runtime may require multiple charging cycles on open-plan estates over 3500 sqft; two-dock setup not currently supported. | DependsRuntime and recharge-and-resume behavior are not yet independently documented; confirm single-session coverage for large layouts. |
| 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. | Good31,000 Pa suction and the track mop's 12N applied pressure are documented for hard-floor cleaning and mopping. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodLow-pile carpet cleaned effectively at full suction. No documented power loss or carpet-specific failures in owner forums. | GoodApplied mop pressure and stated suction handle lower-pile carpet per manufacturer specifications. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | PoorOwner reports document 40-50% suction loss and pad clogging on high-pile and shag carpets; motor thermal strain increases. | DependsNo published detail on mop-lift behavior for carpet transitions; high-pile suction retention is not independently documented. |
| 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. | GoodThe auto-empty, self-wash dock handles emptying and mop cleaning even for owners willing to do it manually. |
| Empty occasionally | GoodDock auto-empties and pads air-dry. Owner effort ~75 min/month for pad rinses, bag swaps, and filter maintenance. | GoodWeekly reservoir checks and periodic sensor wiping are the extent of routine owner involvement. |
| 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. | GoodAuto-empty dust bag, self-washing mop, auto water refill, and hot-air drying cover the routine cycle without daily intervention. |
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.
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: Runtime, 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 heated-mop dock adds convenience but commits owners to consumable cost. Pad replacements and hot-water mineral deposits drive estimated $120-160 annually beyond vacuum-only consumables.
The top suction setting carries an undocumented noise cost. MOVA publishes no decibel figure for the P70 Pro Ultra at any power level and no independent measurement exists, so the difference between running at 30000Pa and running quieter cannot be stated.
Dropping the dual-camera system removes any front-facing lens, which privacy-conscious buyers may welcome, and caps built-in recognition at 150+ object types instead of the standard Freo 20’s 300+.
Owners who mop most days get the most out of the continuous in-run rinse cycle; someone mopping once a week will rarely notice the four-step FlowWash sequence running at all.
The Freo 20 Edge has been on US sale for exactly one week, too brief a window for any independent failure or update record to exist yet.
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.

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.
