Company
Chinese home robotics company making robot vacuums and mops; parent of the Mova robot vacuum and mower brand.
Mova's LiDAX Pro 800 mower pushed hard into a Gizmodo reviewer's leg, though Mova's marketing says it avoids over 300 obstacle types. For yards with children or pets, the review shows a LiDAR spec sheet tells a buyer little about what a mower does on contact.
Reality
The V70 Ultra Complete extends a mop pad 6.7 inches and a side brush 5 inches to clean around chair legs. Its 42,000Pa suction number is the least interesting thing about it.
Reality
The Roomba Max 875 leads on a sealing mechanism rather than a Pascal rating, but the same mechanism ships in the $899 model, which leaves the flagship premium resting on heated mist and two extra liters of air per second.

Dyson's three new robot vacuums are $550, $700 and $1,200, which makes wet cleaning a $150 step inside its own line at a moment when Gizmodo says rival flagships are pushing toward $2,000.
Reality
The chore a robot mower leaves behind, trimming the edges by hand, got solved at IFA this year. The FCC's ban on advanced robotic devices is why American buyers are not getting the fix any time soon.
Reality
The reviewer still had to fish USB cables and socks out of the Qrevo 2 Pro and fence off a rug by hand in the app, which is a useful way to see what the premium robovac tier has actually been selling.

Dreame's A3 AWD Pro drops the RTK beacon and lets the dock go anywhere, per Gizmodo's review. The rated three-quarters of an acre is what makes the price arithmetic work.
