## Verdict

A feature packed mid price flagship that swaps mop pads for you and posted top tier carpet and pet hair results in Vacuum Wars testing. Mopping is the weak spot: Tom's Guide saw streaks and docking trouble, and Vacuum Wars found below average stain removal and short coverage per charge. Good for carpet heavy pet homes, less so for big hard floor homes.

## Pros

- Excellent carpet and pet hair pickup in tests
- Strong obstacle avoidance, 22 of 24
- Auto pad swapping with three pad types
- Climbs about 2 in thresholds
- Big discount from list price

## Cons

- Streaky mopping in Tom's Guide testing
- Below average coverage per charge
- Large dock
- Tom's Guide saw docking trouble

## Questions buyers ask

### What does MopSwap do?

The dock stores three pad types and swaps them on its own, so you can use a grease pad in the kitchen and a soft pad on wood. You set this per floor in the app.

### Is it good for pet hair?

Yes. Vacuum Wars measured 94% flattened pet hair pickup and no tangling in its 7 in hair test.

### How tall a threshold can it climb?

MOVA claims up to 3.14 in. Vacuum Wars cleared 51 mm but not 57 mm.
