MOVA E40 Ultra
Midrange all in one dock robot with long runtime for under $500
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Nov 3, 2026
Is the MOVA E40 Ultra worth it? A full self washing dock and long battery life at a midrange price. It costs $449 as of Nov 4, 2026, and 3 independent reviewers tested it.
A full self washing dock and long battery life at a midrange price. Reviewers liked its mapping and app, and Vacuum Wars measured strong carpet deep cleaning. Skip it if you have pets or a cluttered floor, since it avoided only 5 of 24 test objects and tangled long hair.
Best for: tidy homes that want a full auto dock under $500. Skip if: you have long haired pets or cables on the floor.

What independent reviewers found
- Bought and tested in house against the original P10 Pro Ultra: 88% carpet deep clean against a 77% average, but 47% flattened pet hair pickup, 44% hair tangle, 5 of 24 obstacles avoided and about 1,602 sq ft per charge.
- Vacuum Wars · 2.92 Vacuum Wars stars
- Used for several weeks as the main home robot: mapping was quick and accurate, the app stable. In turbo mode on about 60 m2 it could drop to about 20% battery, then it recharges and resumes. Suction on long pile carpet may disappoint.
- Gizchina.it
- Cleaned 100 m2 in about 1.5 hours on just over 50% battery, climbed 2.2 cm ramps and boosted suction on rugs. Mops sometimes brushed rug edges and the drying cycle is fairly loud. Sample supplied by MOVA.
- SmartWorld (Italy)

Questions buyers ask
Does it avoid pet waste and cables?
It uses a single line laser with no camera. Vacuum Wars saw it avoid only 5 of 24 test objects, so clear the floor first.
Does it wash the mops with hot water?
No. The dock washes the mops and dries them with warm air, but SmartWorld notes the wash water is at room temperature.
How long does the dust bag last?
MOVA says the 3.2 L bag lasts up to 75 days, based on its lab test.
