Our verdict
The S10 is the plain MOVA, and not a cheap one for what it is. There is no dock to empty or wash anything, so what you get is a 7,000 Pa robot with four suction levels, a full-rubber brush that lifts for mopping, a vibrating pad that swings to the edge and presses at 3.5 N, a 300 ml bin and a 350 ml tank, 3DAdapt lasers for obstacles, ultrasonic carpet detection and third-party voice control. The battery is its best feature, 5,200 mAh for 260 minutes and 175 m² in quiet mode; it crosses 2 cm sills and weighs 3.9 kg. The page does not name the navigation sensor, the mop lift height or a noise figure. The S10 Plus adds the auto-empty station for more money, and MOVA's own E40 Ultra costs less and brings a washing dock, which is the better deal for almost everyone.

In detail
Suction and brushes
The manufacturer rates the suction at 7,000 Pa. That is less than most of the 114 robot vacuums we list. The main brush is the rubber type, with one side brush. The onboard bin holds 300 ml.
Mopping
Mop system: vibrating pad. It lifts the mop over carpet. The mop swings out to reach along walls. The onboard water tank holds 350 ml.
Navigation and obstacles
It navigates by LiDAR and avoids obstacles with structured light. It climbs thresholds up to 20 mm. That is less than most of the 71 robot vacuums with a published figure. No-go zones can be drawn in the app.
The dock
There is no self-emptying dock: the bin is emptied by hand.
Battery, charging and noise
One charge runs up to 4 h 20 min. The manufacturer publishes no noise figure.
