Real-World Obstacle Test: V50 vs Z60 vs P10

After running all three systems through the same real-world setup, the differences between the MOVA P10 Ultra Gen 2, MOVA V50 Ultra, and MOVA Z60 Ultra became pretty clear. I have posted pictures and images of all 3 robots in their respective forum sections.

In the first test, the P10 Ultra Gen 2 ran into cords under the bed and did what a lot of robot vacuums tend to do. It got tangled, wrapped the cord around the roller, and ended up completely stuck until I got home to free it. It even knocked off one of the magnet-mounted mop pads in the process. At that point, cleaning stops entirely, which is frustrating.

The V50 Ultra handled the same situation much better. Instead of trying to push through, it recognized the cords, slowed down, and avoided them altogether. It kept moving and completed its cleaning cycle without any issues.

The Z60 Ultra took it a step further. It also avoided the cords completely, but what stood out was how it handled the space around them. While the V50 gave the cords a wide berth and stayed well clear, the Z60 worked much closer, within inches, and still avoided getting tangled. It was more precise in how it navigated, which allowed it to clean more of the surrounding area.

There is a trade-off here. The V50’s wider avoidance keeps things safe and consistent, but it can leave a larger uncleaned space if cords stay in place. The Z60’s tighter navigation helps recover more of that area while still avoiding problems. The P10, in this case, tried to clean everything and ended up out of commission.

In a real home, where things are not always picked up perfectly, how these robots handle obstacles might make a difference in your peace of mind!

Interesting to me that you saw a difference between the Z60 and V50 because they have the same obstacle avoidance and navigation hardware. Maybe something in the firmware is different between the two models.
