Verdict
The MOVA E40 Ultra has the higher Verdict Score, 80 to 72.
Both come with a full dock: both docks empty the bin, wash and dry the mops and refill the water, both navigate by LiDAR, both detect obstacles with structured light rather than a camera, and both lift dual spinning mops for carpet. Neither has a camera, and both are rated for a threshold of about 2 cm rather than the 4 cm and more of the machines above them, so the choice is between what each publishes.
The MOVA E40 Ultra publishes 19,000 Pa against the Roborock's 8,000, a mop that extends to the skirting, a 10 mm mop lift, a 260-minute runtime, a 75-day dust bag, voice control and a three-year warranty. The Roborock QV 35A publishes an anti-tangle main brush and a one-year warranty, and does not state a runtime or a bag interval.
Our engine has the MOVA ahead, and the published figures back that up at nearly every row where the two differ; the score card beside this verdict has both Verdict Scores. The Roborock's case rests on the price row below: if it asks a good deal less where you live, it is the one to weigh. At similar prices the MOVA is the better-specified machine.
