The DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone leans on a roller mop and RGB-D camera navigation, making it the smoother operator for multi-story homes packed with furniture. The MOBIUS 60 counters with more hardware: dual brushes, 30,000 Pa suction, hot water mop washing, and a dock that holds roughly double the debris and water. Pick the Ecovacs for navigation confidence and continuous roller mopping, the Mova if you want the deeper feature set and longer stretches between dock refills.
Roller mop versus dual spinning pads is the fault line here, and it's a genuinely interesting one. The Ecovacs DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone uses a roller mop, the newest mopping approach on the market, which continuously rinses as it cleans. The Mova MOBIUS 60 sticks with dual spinning pads spinning at 260 RPM with 12 N of downward pressure, backed by a dock that washes those pads at 212 °F. Both use LiDAR plus camera navigation and both empty their own dustbins. But they distribute their strengths differently, and that shapes which home each one suits.

out of 10Mova MOBIUS 60
These two land close overall, 8.8 versus 8.4. The Ecovacs pulls ahead on navigation, 8.5 versus 7.7, helped by its RGB-D camera and three-level mapping. Cleaning is nearly even at 8.9 versus 8.6. The one clear flip is features, where the Mova takes 9.6 against 8.6 thanks to its extendable and liftable side brush, mop switching, hot water washing, and bigger dock tanks. So it comes down to whether smarter movement or a longer feature list matters more.
Start with the mop. The Ecovacs runs a roller mop, an emerging design that rinses continuously as it moves, and it lifts a full 15 mm to clear carpet. The Mova uses dual spinning pads at 260 RPM with 12 N of pressure, plus a dock that washes them at 212 °F and dries them with hot air. On the vacuum side, the Mova brings dual rubber and bristle brushes and 30,000 Pa against the Ecovacs single brush and 22,000 Pa. Dock capacity favors the Mova heavily too, with double the dust bag volume and larger clean and dirty water tanks. The Ecovacs answers with an RGB-D camera that reads depth, three-level mapping, a 200 minute run time, and Apple voice support the Mova doesn't include.
The MOBIUS 60 has the stronger vacuum setup: 30,000 Pa versus 22,000 Pa, dual rubber and bristle brushes instead of a single brush, and an extendable side brush that reaches into corners. Its slightly larger 300 mL onboard dustbin helps on bigger cleaning runs too.
This one's a real trade-off. The Ecovacs roller mop represents the newest mopping technology and rinses itself continuously mid-clean, plus it lifts higher (15 mm) over carpet and carries more water onboard, but the Mova's dual spinning pads scrub at 260 RPM with 12 N of pressure and get washed and dried at 212 °F back at the dock.
Heavy shedders favor the MOBIUS 60, with 30,000 Pa of suction pulling hair out of carpet pile and a 3.2 L dust bag that goes twice as long between changes as the Ecovacs 1.6 L bag.
Both run the same obstacle avoidance stack of AI, camera, 3D structured light, and an LED lamp, so small objects get dodged either way. The Ecovacs adds an RGB-D camera that reads depth rather than just color and maps up to three floors, though the Mova clears taller obstacles at 80 mm versus 40 mm.
The Mova dock is the more capable one, holding a 3.2 L dust bag, a 5.5 L clean water tank, and a 4 L dirty water tank, all roughly double the Ecovacs equivalents. It also washes mop pads at 212 °F and air dries them with heat, which keeps mildew smells away.
The Mova packs the bigger 6,400 mAh battery, but the Ecovacs actually runs longer per charge at 200 minutes versus 180, and covers 1,277 sq ft in a single run. Both recharge and resume, so large homes work either way.
Both cover the essentials: no-go zones, multi-level maps, smart carpet cleaning, smart obstacle avoidance, and built-in voice control alongside Amazon and Google. The Ecovacs adds Apple support, which matters if your home already runs on Apple devices.

Both of these clean well and run themselves with very little input from you. Go with the DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone if navigation confidence, multi-floor mapping, and a lower price lead your list. Go with the MOBIUS 60 if stronger suction, hot water mop care, and a bigger dock matter more.
