Suction numbers point one way and everything else points the other. The Mova P20 Ultra pulls a stronger 30,000 Pa and holds a bit more water and dust in its dock, but the DEEBOT T50 Max Pro Omni brings AI obstacle avoidance with an RGB-D camera and 3D structured light, smart dirt detection, an extendable side brush, a liftable main brush, and automatic detergent dispensing. Go Ecovacs for smarter, more automated cleaning in a furniture-filled home; go Mova if peak suction on a per-pass basis is what you care about most.
A 30,000 Pa suction rating looks like a knockout punch on paper. It isn't, at least not here. The Mova P20 Ultra out-suctions the Ecovacs DEEBOT T50 Max Pro Omni by a wide gap, yet the Ecovacs costs noticeably less and wins nearly every other category that affects day-to-day life with a robot vacuum: obstacle recognition, edge coverage, carpet handling, dock maintenance, and voice control. Both use LiDAR mapping, dual spinning mop pads, and self-emptying docks, so the shared foundation is solid. The decision comes down to whether you want the highest suction figure or the more capable, more automated machine.
Ecovacs DEEBOT T50 Max Pro Omni
out of 10Mova P20 Ultra
The gap here is real, not a rounding difference. Overall it's 8.3 versus 6.6. Cleaning lands at 8.7 for the Ecovacs against 7.3 for the Mova, so the higher Pa figure alone doesn't carry the day. Navigation is the widest split at 7.6 versus 5.6, driven by the Ecovacs camera and AI obstacle system. Features sit at 8.1 versus 6.3. And the Ecovacs does all this at a lower price, which is why it rates as strong value.
Obstacle handling separates these two more than anything. The T50 Max Pro Omni pairs LiDAR with an RGB-D camera, AI, and 3D structured light to spot and steer around socks, cords, and chair legs, plus it clears 22 mm thresholds versus 20 mm. The Mova relies on LiDAR mapping alone. Suction flips the script: 30,000 Pa on the Mova against 18,500 Pa on the Ecovacs, though the Ecovacs counters with a combination rubber and bristle brush, an extendable side brush for corners, and a main brush that lifts to protect it. Dock behavior differs too, since the Ecovacs adds detergent automatically when washing mop pads. The Mova maps up to four floors to the Ecovacs' two.
The Mova's 30,000 Pa clearly beats 18,500 Pa, and its dust box holds slightly more, so it takes this group on paper. But the Ecovacs answers with a mixed rubber and bristle brush plus an extendable side brush that reaches into corners and along baseboards, which is where debris actually hides.
Both run dual spinning mop pads, the most effective mainstream mopping setup, so neither is dragging a passive cloth around. The Mova spins at 260 RPM with 12 N of downward pressure for scrubbing, and the Ecovacs lifts its pads a taller 18 mm versus 10.5 mm to keep carpet dry.
Raw suction favors the Mova at 30,000 Pa with a marginally bigger 3.2 L dust bag, but the Ecovacs adds smart dirt detection that ramps up power over heavily soiled spots like a dog's favorite rug. It's a genuine tie: one has more force, the other knows when to use it.
This is the Ecovacs' strongest showing. It combines LiDAR with an RGB-D camera, AI, and 3D structured light for smart obstacle avoidance, and clears 22 mm obstacles versus 20 mm, so it recognizes and avoids clutter instead of just mapping walls. The Mova's edge is mapping four floors to the Ecovacs' two.
Both docks empty dust and wash mops, and the Mova's tanks are slightly larger (5 L clean, 4.5 L dirty against 4 L each). The Ecovacs dispenses detergent automatically during mop washing, so the pads come out cleaner rather than being rinsed with water alone.
The Ecovacs carries a 6,400 mAh battery good for up to 200 minutes per charge, which covers a large single-story layout without a mid-job recharge. The Mova's 5,200 mAh pack is smaller.
Both handle no-go zones, multi-level maps, and smart carpet cleaning. The Ecovacs pulls ahead with voice control through its built-in assistant plus Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, along with smart dirt detection and smart obstacle avoidance feeding into how it cleans.

For most homes, the DEEBOT T50 Max Pro Omni is the smarter buy: better obstacle handling, more automation, stronger edge coverage, and a lower price. The Mova P20 Ultra makes sense in a narrow case, when you want maximum suction and maps for more than two floors.
