Why the Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete could be a bargain

The Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete vacuums thoroughly, navigates flawlessly and mops with a self-cleaning roller. But the robot has a doppelganger.
In our test, the Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete shows how good the current generation of robot vacuum cleaners is. It makes dust and pet hair vanish – and mops the floor. But does it outperform a competitor from the same manufacturer?
The in-house doppelganger
First up, let’s address the elephant in the room – or rather, the clone in the product range. The Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete seems to be a doppelganger of the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller Complete, which I tested recently. This is no surprise, as Mova’s a subsidiary of Dreame and uses the same technical framework.
The similarities are sometimes obvious: the double brush, for example, looks identical, as do the water tanks in the base station. And the brand name’s the only difference on the cleaning fluid.
Both have the exact same roller for mopping, which disappears under a cover when it’s not being used – when vacuuming carpets, for example. Only a very close look at the technical details brings up any noticeable differences.
The Dreame model has a bit more power in some areas: slightly higher suction power, more pressure when mopping and the mop’s cleaned at higher temperatures.
These small differences are partly reflected in the price. The Dreame model with the slightly better performance data was around 100 Swiss francs more expensive during the test period. The difference in the manufacturers’ recommended retail prices is also in this range. However, the price of the Mova fluctuates more – it’s been available for around 1,000 Swiss francs. It’s definitely worth keeping an eye on any price changes.
Because with everyday use, the Mova proved just as good as its Dreame counterpart.
Reliable, low-maintenance cleaning
I used the Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete to clean my flat for several weeks. Or rather, I let it clean. The robot ran multiple times a week, mostly in Clean Genius mode, where it automatically vacuums and mops.
This significantly improves the flat’s general cleanliness, which is essential with pets. The Z60 is straightforward – which is also crucial in a busy household that’s not as tidy as a photo in a furniture catalogue.
The Mova didn’t get lost or stuck during testing, didn’t suck up any cat toys, and never got tangled in a cable. Obstacle detection and navigation work perfectly. That’s what matters to me in the long run.
Maintenance is easy. The robot continuously supplies the mop roller with fresh water and removes the dirty liquid. In the base station, the mop head’s washed with hot water and dried with warm air. I don’t have to do anything myself. While the temperatures aren’t as high as with its counterpart, I haven’t noticed any difference with everyday use.
All I have to do us fill the fresh water tank in the base station once a week and empty the waste water tank – ideally every few days to prevent the dirty water smelling. After five weeks of testing, I took my first look underneath the robot. The double brush lived up to its promise: there wasn’t a single hair stuck in it – despite two people with long hair in my household.
Once a month, the insert at the bottom of the base station needs cleaning because, as with all robot vacuums, that’s where dried dust and cat hair accumulate. Fortunately, the plastic part can be removed and washed.
No improvement in volume
Let’s look at the details. Installation’s quick and easy – as with most modern robot vacuums, scan the QR code and connect to your Wi-Fi – and you’re ready to go. To use it most effectively, you’ll need the manufacturer’s app and a personal login. You can read more about Mova’s data privacy practices here.
The Z60 Ultra Roller Complete takes nine minutes to map my flat, making it one of the fastest I’ve tested so far.
The robot’s not only fast, it’s precise too. The room layout’s perfect; apart from the hallway being divided into two parts – and the labelling’s wrong. But I can correct that with a few clicks, then the robot’s ready for action.
I find the app a bit clearer than Dreame’s, even though they’re very similar. It’s even easier to set up if you want to clean individual rooms rather than always covering your whole home.
In standard mode with vacuuming and mopping, the Mova takes around 75 seconds per square metre. So, thorough cleaning takes time. With increasingly complex mopping technology, robots have actually become slower in recent years.
There’s been no improvement in noise levels either. At 62 decibels measured at a distance of approximately one metre, the Z60 Ultra Roller Complete’s higher than average across recent tests.
The price makes the difference
In everyday use, the Z60 Ultra Roller Complete impressed across the board – just like its sibling, the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller Complete. This is perhaps the biggest point of criticism: that the models are barely distinguishable. What the manufacturer was thinking with its two brands remains unclear.
For you as a consumer, this also has benefits: you don’t have to worry too much about features and differences; you can just compare prices and choose the model that feels best for you. Or that’s currently at the lower price. It’s also worth noting that Black Friday sales are just around the corner.
In a nutshell
The clone’s as good as its sibling
The Z60 Ultra Roller Complete’s a compelling overall package. The robot has a retractable laser turret, it climbs over thresholds of four to five centimetres and its roller cleans the floor significantly better than models with two round mops.
With everyday use, it impresses thanks to precise navigation, good obstacle detection and virtually no maintenance. Confusingly, though, there’s a practically identical model from the same manufacturer – the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller Complete – which is just as good.
