MOVA V70 Ultra Complete Tackles Edge Cleaning Challenges
Confirmed
In Short: Robot vacuums have long struggled with cleaning hard-to-reach edges and corners due to their design, but MOVA's V70 Ultra Complete aims to solve this problem.
The V70 Ultra Complete features brush and mop arms that extend up to 6.7 inches and 4.7 inches, respectively, allowing it to clean areas that other vacuums cannot reach.
According to Android Authority, the dual-brush design performs well, with no issues encountered during testing.
The V70 Ultra Complete also boasts a powerful 40,000 Pa suction and intelligent AI navigation that recognizes over 300 objects.
The vacuum's base station includes features like a drying mode that activates even after a vacuum-only session, and a cleaning mode that applies 15N of pressure and spins at 300 RPM.
MOVA claims that one emptying can last up to 100 days, reducing maintenance and running costs.
At the European launch event in Hamburg, MOVA presented the V70 Ultra Complete as its flagship model, promising reliable cleaning of edges, corners, and narrow spaces.
Despite its advancements, the V70 Ultra Complete still has room for improvement, as noted by the reviewer.
The MOVA V70 Ultra Complete is priced at $1299 at Amazon.
What this adds
The V70 Ultra Complete's extended brush and mop arms represent a significant step forward in robot vacuum technology, addressing a long-standing issue.
The 100-day emptying claim by MOVA is a notable selling point, though its practicality remains to be seen.

What's still developing
- Yet so often with autonomous devices, that’s exactly where things start going wrong — those problems are left for last for good reason.
- This past summer, I heard about the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete ( $1299 at Amazon ), bragging about its ability to tackle a quite literal edge case — and specifically, a problem that bothered me about the last robot vacuum I looked at: the ability to clean all the way to even hard-to-reach edges.
- Robot vacuums are 20-some years old at this point, but many still have a common problem: All that cleaning hardware is underneath, so if you can’t get directly on top of something, you can’t clean it.
- That said, there’s still room for improvement, and as you watch the vacuum in action, you can appreciate how the brush’s limited range of motion means it can’t always reach where it’s needed.
- Plenty try to mitigate with spinning “whisker” brushes that extend out a bit, but MOVA absolutely takes that to the next level with the V70 Ultra Complete.
- As you can see above, both that brush and one of the mop pads are mounted on arms that extend out, away from the robot’s body — up to 6.7 inches out for the mop, or 4.7 inches for the brush.
- The dual-brush design performs solidly in my testing — I didn’t encounter any problems with tangles jamming up operation.
- It’s easy to take vacuum base stations for granted, but this one has a few really nice features.
- If you’re not using a robot vacuum yet, you do not know what you’re missing.
- When you are looking to wash the floor, they’re ready to push down with 15N of pressure to help knock loose stubborn stains, and spin at 300 RPM.
- The 40,000 Pa suction power positions the V70 Ultra Complete at the absolute top of its category.
- This is complemented by a retractable navigation sensor – which enables the robot to work under flat furniture – and intelligent AI navigation, which recognizes and navigates around over 300 different objects.
