- Vacuum Wars (3.95 Vacuum Wars stars): 1.36 kPa suction, 88% carpet deep clean (77% average), 94% pet hair pickup, perfect hair tangle result, 22 of 24 obstacles avoided, 51 mm threshold climb. Weaker on coverage, about 904 sq ft per charge, and below average on dried stains. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/mova-mobius-60-review/)
- Tom's Guide: Took 84 min to vacuum and mop 650 sq ft and about 30 min to map just under 800 sq ft. Mops left lots of streaks, the robot struggled to get back into its dock, and the reviewer preferred a Roborock Qrevo at this price.

- Tom's Guide: Picked up 100% of cereal and kitty litter on carpet and 70% of pet hair on carpet, but mopping left floors streaky and patchy and the pads fell off once crossing a cable. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/home-appliances/roborock-saros-20-review)
