The MOVA E40 Ultra is the robot vacuum that does the station job, and it wins every scored row here. It mops, washes and dries, runs 260 minutes against 110, carries a 3 year warranty against 1 year, and publishes 19000Pa where the Shark publishes none. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty is the vacuum-only LiDAR robot with a self-emptying base. Price is not a decided row. Choose the MOVA E40 Ultra unless you know you will never mop.

What the differences mean

Mop station

The MOVA E40 Ultra mops, washes, dries and lifts, with a 4.5L water system and a dispenser sold separately. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty does not mop. If washing the floor is required, the Shark is the wrong robot before warranty or battery enter the talk.

Runtime and warranty

The MOVA E40 Ultra is rated for 260 minutes with a 3 year warranty. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty is rated for 110 minutes with a 1 year warranty and a 6 hour recharge. The MOVA does not publish a charge time.

Smart home

Both support Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The MOVA E40 Ultra does not support Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter, and the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty does not either. Neither is the Apple Home robot in this pair. The MOVA uses LiDAR. The Shark uses LiDAR too.

Dust

The MOVA E40 Ultra empties into a 3.2L dock bag. Its onboard bin is not published. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty holds 189ml onboard, and its dock capacity is not published. Both self-empty, so the published figures are not the same kind of number.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners come for different messes. MOVA E40 Ultra owners single out a quiet, easy setup, pet hair for the money and an extending mop into corners, and they warn about pads that detach mid-run and some motor or side-brush failures inside a year. Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty owners single out pet hair, lifting over rug edges and a bagless base they leave for weeks, and they complain about a plain app, Wi-Fi setup and missed spots. The MOVA complaints are mechanical, on a robot that mops. The Shark complaints are software, on a robot that never tries to mop.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
