Spec-based review: scored from MOVA's published specifications with the same weights as every other robotic cleaner. Not a hands-on test. How we score.

Our take

The MOVA Rover X10 Robotic Pool Cleaner, released in 2026, is a cordless, battery-powered robotic pool cleaner from MOVA. It cleans the floor, walls, waterline and surface, navigates by building a map of the pool with AquaScan underwater LDS (laser) mapping + PoolNavi, AI camera stain recognition, and connects to its app over Wi-Fi. A charge lasts up to 360 minutes.

On paper it scores 9.5 out of 10 (excellent) against other robotic cleaners. Its strongest areas are cleaning coverage (10.0) and runtime (10.0). It has no weak spot in our scoring: every area rates 7 or better.

The best price we found is $1,999 at Home Depot. The typical robotic cleaner we track costs $899, so this one is pricier than most. For what it does, its value score is 3.2 out of 10.

To spend less for nearly the same spec score, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Robotic Pool Cleaner rates 9.0 for $799.

Bottom line: a excellent pick for hands-off cleaning of the whole pool, yards with trees: leaves get skimmed before they sink, pools with no outlet near the deck and scheduling and checking on cleans from your phone.

Pros

  • +Maps the pool, using AquaScan underwater LDS (laser) mapping + PoolNavi, AI camera stain recognition, so it covers the floor methodically instead of bouncing around.
  • +Climbs the walls and scrubs the waterline, where the scum line forms.
  • +Skims the surface as well, catching leaves before they sink.
  • +Cordless: no cable to tangle or drape across the pool.
  • +Long battery life: up to 360 minutes per cycle.
  • +Wi-Fi app: schedule and start cleans from anywhere.
  • +Fine 3-micron filter catches fine dirt and pollen.
  • +Top-access filter basket: no bag to wash out.
  • +Parks at the wall when it finishes or runs low, so it is easy to lift out.
  • +Rated for large pools, up to 5,400 sq ft.
  • +3-year warranty, longer than most.

Cons

  • −Heavy to lift out at 34.8 lb.
  • −In-ground pools only.

Best for

  • Hands-off cleaning of the whole pool
  • Yards with trees: leaves get skimmed before they sink
  • Pools with no outlet near the deck
  • Scheduling and checking on cleans from your phone

Skip it if

  • You have an above-ground pool
