The short answer

Narwal Flow 2 comes out ahead by a narrow margin (4.2 vs 4.5). The gap is mostly about early adopters seeking AI-powered cleaning — read the strengths below before deciding.

Mova P10 Pro Ultra
Ranked #7 in Best Robot Vacuums

4 sources2 derived$355as of Aug 1

Mopping is the whole story of the MOVA P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2. Upgraded hardware lifted its stain removal score to 135, a big jump from 73 for the original, and reviewers credited the dual spinning mop pads and 12 Newtons of pressure for the difference in cleaning performance. Vacuuming, though, is unchanged from the first version, and the second-generation price has climbed to nearly $600. That makes it a solid upgrade if mopping is your priority, and a harder increase to justify if you were hoping for broader vacuuming gains. Buyers who care more about mopping than vacuuming are the ones who get their money's worth.

Strengths
  • Improved mopping performance with 12 Newtons of downward pressure and 260 RPM spinning pads
  • Dual spinning mop pads provide better edge coverage along walls and furniture
  • Lifts 10.5 millimeters over carpet for cleaning mixed floor types in one run
Watch-outs
  • Price increased from ~$500 to nearly $600 for the second generation
  • Obstacle avoidance regressed in Gen 2 after removing RGB camera; bumps more than it should

Narwal Flow 2
4 sources$1,499.99as of Aug 1

The Narwal Flow 2 is a top-of-the-line robot vacuum: embedded lidar, dual cameras and a rolling track mop that washes itself while it works, all fed by a dock that empties the bin and dries the mop with heated air. Bob Vila's month with it returned full marks and Basic Tutorials scored it 97 out of 100, though How-To Geek's 7 out of 10 is a cooler read. At $1,499.99 it is priced for people who want the whole system automated, and early owners report mapping and app problems that a machine this expensive should not have.

Strengths
  • Embedded lidar plus dual HD cameras and on-device object recognition
  • 31,000 Pa suction with anti-tangle brush geometry
  • Rolling track mop rinses and scrapes itself while it cleans
Watch-outs
  • Onboard bin holds only 300 ml, so the robot depends on the dock
  • Mapping and app reliability problems reported by early owners
  • Multi-floor navigation is noticeably less efficient than single-floor

Derived means the reviewer published no score, so one was inferred from their written verdict. Everything else is a number the publisher printed. How we rank.

How they stack up

Mova P10 Pro Ultra

The Mova P10 Pro Ultra delivers superior mopping performance with its upgraded spinning pads and stain removal, outperforming the Dreame D30 Ultra and Lefant M5 Max in this area. However, it lacks the suction power of the Roborock Saros 20 and the advanced navigation of the Narwal Flow 2, and its price increase makes it less value-driven than the Roborock Q10 S5+.

Narwal Flow 2

The Narwal Flow 2 leads in AI-driven navigation with its Visual Language Model and dual HD cameras, surpassing the Dreame X60 Max Ultra and Roborock Saros 20 in object recognition. However, it underperforms in mopping effectiveness compared to the Ecovacs T90 Pro Omni and Mova V50, and its app reliability issues make it less ideal than the Roborock Q10 S5+ for consistent performance.
