Both of these use roller mops, LiDAR plus camera navigation, and self-emptying docks, so the decision comes down to how you weight cleaning hardware against navigation polish. The Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete brings more suction, dual brushes, liftable brushes, hot water mop washing, and a bigger dust bag, making it the stronger pick for pet owners and heavy-traffic homes. The Ecovacs DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone reads rooms more reliably with its RGB-D camera and handles multi-story mapping cleanly, which matters more in furniture-packed layouts.
Roller mops are still the newest approach to robot mopping, and here are two premium machines that both use one. That shared foundation makes the rest of the comparison sharper. The Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete stacks on more vacuuming hardware: 28,000 Pa, a dual brush setup, brushes that lift out of the way, and a dock that washes pads with 176 °F water. The Ecovacs DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone counters with navigation that handles clutter and stairs-worth-of-floors better, plus a depth-sensing camera. So the real question is whether you want the harder-working cleaning system or the smarter driver.

out of 10Mova Z60 Ultra Roller Complete
The Ecovacs takes the overall rating 8.8 versus 8.3, and almost all of that comes from navigation, where it earns 8.5 against the Mova's 7.0. Flip to cleaning and the Mova edges ahead 9.1 versus 8.9, thanks to stronger suction and its dual brush design. Features land in a dead heat at 8.6 apiece, and both rate well for what they cost. So the gap is narrower than the overall numbers make it look.
Start with the brushes. The Mova runs a dual rubber and bristle roller with 28,000 Pa behind it, plus brushes and side brushes that lift up, and an extendable side brush that reaches into corners. The Ecovacs uses a single rubber and bristle brush at 22,000 Pa, still plenty for most floors but less aggressive on thick carpet. Dock behavior separates them too: the Mova washes its roller with 176 °F water and dries with 140 °F air, and it holds twice the dust bag capacity at 3.2 L versus 1.6 L. Navigation swings the other way, with the Ecovacs pairing an RGB-D depth camera with mapping for up to 3 floors, versus the Mova's RGB camera. The Ecovacs also runs quieter at 61 dB.
The Mova's dual rubber and bristle brush plus 28,000 Pa gives it more bite on carpet than the Ecovacs single brush at 22,000 Pa, and its extendable side brush pushes debris out of corners. The Ecovacs does carry a slightly larger onboard dust box, so it goes a bit longer between dock trips.
Both use roller mops, which is the most effective mopping style available right now, so the difference is in upkeep and control. The Mova washes its roller with 176 °F water and dries it with 140 °F air, and the Ecovacs offers finer water control with 50 moisture levels versus 32, plus a 220 RPM roller and a slightly higher 15 mm mop lift.
Shedding homes lean Mova here: 28,000 Pa of suction paired with a 3.2 L dust bag means fewer emptying trips and better pickup of embedded fur. The Ecovacs at 22,000 Pa and 1.6 L still handles pet hair, just with more frequent bag changes.
Both run LiDAR, a camera, and AI with 3D structured light and an LED for obstacle spotting, which is why this group ties on paper. In practice the Ecovacs pulls ahead with its RGB-D depth camera and mapping for up to 3 levels, and the Mova's 80 mm obstacle clearance lets it climb over taller thresholds.
The Mova's dock does more work: hot water mop washing at 176 °F, heated drying at 140 °F, a 3.2 L dust bag, and larger clean and dirty water tanks at 4 L and 3.5 L. The Ecovacs dock still auto-empties and self-cleans, just with smaller reserves at 3.5 L clean and 2.7 L dirty.
Runtimes are close, 220 minutes for the Mova against 200 minutes for the Ecovacs, with the Mova carrying the bigger 6,400 mAh cell versus 4,000 mAh. The Ecovacs covers 1,277 sq ft in a single run, which handles most floor plans before it needs a recharge.
Both cover no-go zones, multi-level maps, smart carpet cleaning, and smart obstacle avoidance, so daily app control feels similar. The Ecovacs adds Apple to its voice lineup alongside built-in commands, Amazon, and Google, which is the tiebreaker for iPhone-centric households.

There's no wrong answer here. Go Mova if cleaning muscle and a lower-maintenance dock top your list, especially with pets. Go Ecovacs if your floor plan is complicated, spread across multiple levels, or if a quieter run matters. Both deliver genuine hands-off cleaning with roller mopping.
