In this comparison, I show the differences between the new Mova Z60 and its predecessor, the Mova V50.
Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete vs. Mova V50 Ultra Complete – the detailed comparison
Note: In my comparison, I consider the Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete with the Mova V50 Ultra Complete. The name similarity to a "Z50" is widespread, but technically I'm referring to the V50 here.
What really counts? My brief conclusion upfront
Both robots play in the top league: very strong suction power, modern navigation, and a comprehensive station. In my comparison, the Z60 scores with more power, higher mop lift, and better obstacle management. The V50 counters with flatter build height, larger dust container, and the somewhat more comfortable station – at a lower price. Bottom line: the Z60 is the performance choice, the V50 is the price-performance option. In most cases, the V50 is completely sufficient.
Core differences at a glance
Advantages of the Mova Z60 over Mova V50
- Higher suction power (28000 Pa vs. 24000 Pa)
- Significantly higher mop lift (25 mm) – carpets stay drier
- Better climbing (up to 5 cm) – more confident over thresholds
- Faster per square meter and more precise obstacle detection
- Higher build quality noticeable in testing
Advantages of the Mova V50 over Mova Z60
- Cheaper to purchase
- Flatter (8.95 cm) – fits better under low furniture
- Larger dust container (300 ml) – less frequent emptying in direct operation
- Comfort station with warm water tank filling and mop storage function
- Lighter – more pleasant handling when moving

Which one is better now?
The Z60 is the current performance winner (power, mop lift, obstacles), it excels across the board. The V50, however, remains a smart all-rounder (flatter, cheaper, station with more comfort), showing only few weaknesses.
Impact on cleaning performance
You'll notice the Z60's higher suction power especially on carpet and with heavier particles – the bristles stand up cleanly, crumbs are removed more reliably. The large mop lift helps keep carpets dry and prevents smearing at transitions. At the same time, the V50 is visibly ahead at edge mopping – in corners and along baseboards, it picks up dirt somewhat more completely. Under flat sofas or low sideboards, it gets there better thanks to its build height, which often carries more weight in daily use than a few percent extra suction power.
In practice, I've come to know the Z60 as a real "power tool" that makes sense when everything really needs to be perfect in one pass. The V50, on the other hand, is a recommendation when flat furniture is in the way and the station extras are needed (e.g., relevant for high carpets).

Purchase recommendation: Which one fits whom?
- Mova Z60, if you want maximum performance: strong suction power, high mop lift, very good climbing.
- Many carpets or higher door thresholds? Z60.
- You value noticeably solid build quality.
- Mova V50, if budget and comfort matter: cheaper, flatter, station with extras.
- Many low furniture pieces and focus on edge cleaning? V50.
- You want a larger dust container for direct operation and a lighter device.

My conclusion
The Mova Z60 is the choice for performance enthusiasts and households with many carpets or thresholds. The Mova V50 addresses realistic everyday needs with more comfort at the station, flatter housing, and better edge mopping – at a somewhat more pleasant price. Both are top devices; decide based on your living profile: Maximum performance (Z60) or Comfort & price advantage (V50).
