Our verdict
The S20 Ultra is an older MOVA sold at a price that makes its dock the story. The station washes the vibrating pad in 60 °C water, dries it, refills the robot's 80 ml tank from 4.5 litres and empties the bin for 75 days. The robot itself is dated: 8,300 Pa, a vibrating pad pressed at 3.5 N rather than spinning discs, a 104 mm body with a turret, and structured light that knows 70 obstacle types. In its favour are double rubber brushes and a mop that both lift for carpet, a 350 ml bin, 4.1 kg, and 5,200 mAh for 210 minutes in quiet mode. No threshold, mop lift height, noise or voice control is stated, and only the German shop lists it. It is a full-dock robot for a small tidy flat, at a price where many rivals still make you rinse the mop yourself.
