Our verdict
The Rover X10 is MOVA's flagship pool robot, and seven areas are on its list: the surface, the floor, the walls, the waterline, corners, steps and shallow zones. Four turbine motors in the FloatDrive system move it up and down the walls and hold it on steps, the pump is rated at 38,000 l/h, and the 5 l basket carries a 180 μm filter with a 3 μm ultrafine stage behind it. It maps the pool with an underwater laser distance sensor, plans its route from that map, slows where its AI sensor spots dirt, and covers up to 500 m². The 15,000 mAh battery runs six hours on the floor or twelve on the surface, it parks at the surface or at a spot you choose so you never wade in for it, and it charges on a wireless dock. Live app control needs the AquaSonar float, which relays Wi-Fi to an ultrasonic link under water. MOVA publishes no charging time, slope rating or ingress rating, and at 15.8 kg lifting it out is a two-hand job; the warranty is three years.

Guides that mention it
Top picks
- MOVA81
MOVA Diver A10
MOVA's fine-debris pool robot: a 3 µm filter in a 3.5 l basket, camera navigation that recognises drains and steps, four hours a charge, schedules and poolside parking, rated for 180 m².
- Beatbot72
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra
Beatbot's flagship without the self-cleaning station: it skims, cleans floor, walls and waterline, maps with an AI camera, doses a clarifier, parks above the water and charges on a dock.
- Beatbot72
Beatbot AquaSense X
Beatbot's flagship with a self-cleaning station: AstroRinse rinses the filter and empties a 22 l bin, while the robot skims, cleans floor, walls and waterline and parks at the surface.
