No. Notebookcheck found no automatic detergent dosing on the dock.

### How hot is the mop wash?

MOVA says the dock washes the roller with water up to 176 F and dries it with 158 F air.

### Will it get over door thresholds?

Notebookcheck says it has no climbing function, so tall thresholds may stop it.
