MOVA Rover X10
Cordless all in one cleaner with a buoy for app control underwater
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the MOVA Rover X10 worth it? A big cordless robot that tries to clean every part of the pool, including the surface, and is one of the few you can control while it is underwater. It costs $2,499 as of Nov 4, 2026, and Bob Vila scored it 4.7/5.
A big cordless robot that tries to clean every part of the pool, including the surface, and is one of the few you can control while it is underwater. Bob Vila rated it 4.7/5 for cleaning and battery life, but EFTM found it missed steps, mapped poorly and needed software fixes. It weighs about 35 lb, so it suits large pools and owners who can lift it.
Best for: large pools that want surface and floor cleaning. Skip if: you have a small pool or cannot lift 35 lb.

What independent reviewers found
- Upgrade Pick in its tested roundup. Performed well on fine dirt, algae and floating debris, with strong battery life and thorough edge cleaning; called the underwater relay one of the most innovative features it tested. One of the heaviest robots it tried. Subscores: Ease of Use 4.5/5, Performance 5/5, Value 4.3/5.
- Bob Vila · 4.7/5
- A 150 min complete clean covered 300 sq m and used 63% of the battery; floor only took 58 min and 18%. The map loosely matched the pool, no mode cleaned the steps, it never parked at the chosen spot, and three firmware updates arrived in week one.
- EFTM
- Silver Award. Reliable floor pickup and active waterline and surface cleaning in a 4 x 2 m pool; weaker on narrow steps and corners, LiDAR accuracy dropped in murky water, and buoy range was about 15 m. Subscores: cleaning 90, features 92, app 75.
- Basic Tutorials · 84/100
