MOVA V70 Ultra Complete Review: Extending Arms, 42,000Pa and a Bagless Dock
A mop that reaches 17 cm past the body, legs that climb 9 cm of threshold, and a washable dust tank that retires disposable bags.
The V70 Ultra Complete is MOVA's flagship robot vacuum and mop, and its whole design is about reaching the dirt other robots drive past. The mop pad extends up to 17 cm and the side brush up to 12 cm, motorized legs lift the chassis over thresholds up to 9 cm, and the retractable laser turret drops the body to 88 mm so it fits under low furniture. The dock does the rest: it empties the robot into a washable EcoCyclone tank rated for about 100 days, doses cleaning solution from a dual compartment, washes the pads on a 100 °C washboard and dries them with 70 °C air in around an hour. The trade-off is ecosystem reach, since it runs on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant but no Matter, Apple Home or SmartThings.

Who is the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete for?
It suits a home where the awkward parts are the problem rather than the open floor. The MaxiReachX system pushes the mop pad out as far as 17 cm and the side brush as far as 12 cm, so baseboards, right-angle corners and the strip under a cabinet get covered instead of being traced around. StepMaster 2.0 raises the chassis on motorized legs to clear door tracks and thresholds, up to 4.5 cm for a single step and up to 9 cm for two steps close together, which is the kind of transition that normally splits a house into two cleaning zones. The FlexScope laser turret retracts so the body measures 88 mm tall, low enough for sofas and beds that block a fixed LiDAR tower. For a household with pets, the 42,000Pa suction and the anti-tangle TroboWave DuoBrush target the hair that wraps around a roller, and the app has a pet care mode that watches for pets and pet waste.
What the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete offers
Suction is quoted at 42,000Pa from a motor that spins up to 150,000 RPM, which is at the top of what the category advertises and matters most on carpet. Mopping is done by dual rotary pads turning at 300 RPM under 15 N of downward pressure, with the pad plate floating to keep contact on uneven floors. An ultrasonic sensor spots carpet and reacts by boosting suction, lifting the pads 10.5 mm or having the dock take them off entirely, so wet pads never cross a rug. Navigation pairs the retractable DToF laser with 3D dual-line lasers and AI HD and infrared cameras that recognise more than 300 kinds of obstacle, and the app lets you set a safe distance per object, split, merge and rename rooms, and draw restricted zones. The dock is the other half of the product: an EcoCyclone dust tank that is washable and reusable instead of bagged, rated for roughly 100 days between emptyings, a DuoSolution module holding 400 mL of floor cleaner and 200 mL of pet odor solution that it doses on its own, 4.0 L of clean water and 3.5 L of waste water, a 100 °C heated washboard and about an hour of 70 °C hot air drying. A 6400 mAh battery gives around 220 minutes of cleaning, recharges in about three hours and resumes from the point it stopped.
What to know before you buy
The smart home story is narrower than the hardware. It joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, with no 5 GHz band, and it is not Matter certified, so there is no Apple Home or SmartThings route and control stays inside the MOVAhome app plus Alexa and Google Home voice commands. Home Assistant is covered, though through the community Dreame integration installed via HACS rather than a built-in one. MOVA also leaves several numbers unpublished: there is no stated noise level in decibels, no weight for the robot or the dock, and no capacity figure for either the onboard dust box or the EcoCyclone tank, so the 100 day claim is the only guide to how often the dock needs attention. Finally, this is a large base station at 420 x 458 x 470 mm, which needs a real parking space against a wall rather than a corner of a hallway.
Is the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete worth it?
This is priced as a flagship and specified like one, and the case for it rests on two things that are genuinely uncommon: the dual extending mop and side brush, and a bagless dock that you rinse instead of restock. Both attack recurring costs and recurring chores rather than headline numbers, and they sit on top of a spec sheet that already covers hot water pad washing, hot air drying, automatic detergent dosing, automatic pad removal for carpet and a three year warranty. Against rivals at the same tier the gap is the ecosystem: a Matter certified competitor will drop into Apple Home or SmartThings, while this one stays on Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. If the platforms you use are on that list, the cleaning hardware is as complete as the name suggests.
Frequently asked questions
Does the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete need dust bags?
No. The dock uses the EcoCyclone dust tank, which is washable and reusable rather than bagged, and MOVA rates it for up to about 100 days between emptyings depending on home size and how often it cleans.
How far does the mop on the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete extend?
The MaxiReachX mop pad extends up to 17 cm out from the body and the side brush up to 12 cm, so the robot can reach into right-angle corners, along baseboards and under low furniture instead of tracing a curve around them.
Can the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete climb thresholds?
Yes. StepMaster 2.0 uses motorized retractable legs to lift the chassis over door tracks and thresholds. MOVA rates it at 4.5 cm for a single vertical step and up to 9 cm for two steps spaced closely together.
Does the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete work with Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home?
It supports Amazon Alexa through the MOVAhome skill and Google Home once the MOVAhome account is linked, and Home Assistant through the community Dreame integration. It is not Matter certified, so there is no Apple Home or SmartThings path.
How does the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete handle carpet?
An ultrasonic sensor detects carpet and pile height. Depending on the setting the robot boosts suction, lifts the mop pads 10.5 mm, has the dock detach them first, or avoids the carpet entirely, so wet pads never cross onto a rug.
How long does the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete run and charge?
The 6400 mAh battery is listed at around 220 minutes of cleaning per charge and takes about three hours to refill from low. Smart-Protect charging manages the temperature and current, and the robot resumes the unfinished job from its last mapped position.
