The DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni leans on a roller mop and a heated 145 °F drying cycle, which makes it the stronger pick for homes where hard floors get mopped often and mop odor is a real annoyance. The Mova P50 Pro Ultra counters with dual spinning mop pads, a bigger onboard dustbin, four-level mapping, and pad lifting plus brush lifting for carpet transitions. Go with the Ecovacs for mopping tech, longer runs, and tangle-free brush hair handling; go with the Mova if multi-story mapping and automatic mop pad detachment matter more.
Two different answers to the same question: how should a robot actually clean a wet floor? Ecovacs went with a roller mop on the X8 Pro Omni, a continuously washed strip that keeps fresh water hitting the floor. Mova stuck with dual spinning pads on the P50 Pro Ultra, the approach that has dominated high-end robots for a few years now. That single design choice ripples through everything else here, from dock hardware to how each machine handles carpet. Add in a big price gap and a split on navigation hardware, and this becomes a genuinely interesting matchup rather than a simple better-or-worse call.
Ecovacs DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni
out of 10Mova P50 Pro Ultra
These two rate close together, with the DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni at a 7.6 overall rating and the Mova P50 Pro Ultra at 7.2, so your pick comes down to what you care about most. Cleaning is basically a tie at 7.1 versus 7.0. The Ecovacs pulls ahead on navigation, 9.1 to 7.6, meaning fewer stuck moments and smarter routes around furniture. The Mova answers back on features, 7.5 to 7.0, with more extras to play with. Both are priced about right.
Mopping hardware splits these two cleanly. The X8 Pro Omni uses a roller mop spinning at 200 RPM with 50 moisture settings, and its dock dries the roller with 145 °F air. The P50 Pro Ultra runs dual spinning pads at 180 RPM with 32 moisture levels and dries at 113 °F. Endurance is the other big gap: 291 minutes of runtime from a 6,400 mAh battery on the Ecovacs versus 210 minutes from 5,200 mAh on the Mova. Then there's brush design. The Ecovacs pairs its rubber roller with a built-in cutter and anti-tangle handling, something the Mova's plain rubber brush doesn't have. Mova answers with four-level mapping (double the Ecovacs), liftable main and side brushes, and mop pads that detach automatically before carpet.
Suction sits within a hair of each other at 18,000 Pa for the Ecovacs and 19,000 Pa for the Mova, so the brush does the deciding: the X8 Pro Omni's rubber roller includes a cutter that slices through wrapped hair, and the Mova's plain rubber brush has no anti-tangle system. The Mova does hold more in its onboard dustbin at 300 mL versus 220 mL, which means fewer mid-run interruptions on large floors.
Roller mops are the newest approach to robot mopping and the X8 Pro Omni's version runs at 200 RPM with 50 moisture settings, giving fine control over how wet a floor gets. The P50 Pro Ultra's dual spinning pads at 180 RPM are a proven, effective system, but the Ecovacs backs its roller with a hotter 145 °F drying cycle against the Mova's 113 °F.
Anti-tangle handling is the deciding factor for pet owners, and only the DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni has it, so long hair gets cut instead of wound around the brush. The Mova's slightly higher 19,000 Pa suction and marginally larger 3.2 L dust bag don't offset the maintenance you'll do untangling its brush.
Both use LiDAR plus a camera with 3D structured light, but the Ecovacs reads depth with an RGB-D camera and earns the higher navigation rating for it. The Mova adds an LED lamp for dim rooms, clears 22 mm obstacles to the Ecovacs's 20 mm, and stores four floor maps instead of two.
The X8 Pro Omni's dock dries its mop with 145 °F air and holds 4 L of dirty water, so it goes longer between empties and keeps mildew smell away. Mova's dock dries at 113 °F with a 3.5 L dirty water tank, though its 3.2 L dust bag edges out the Ecovacs's 3 L.
A 6,400 mAh battery gives the Ecovacs 291 minutes per charge, roughly 80 minutes more than the Mova's 210 minutes from 5,200 mAh. On a large single-floor home that's often the difference between finishing in one pass and waiting through a recharge.
Both cover the basics well: built-in voice assistants, Alexa and Google support, no-go zones, multi-level maps, smart carpet cleaning, and smart obstacle avoidance. The Mova adds Siri to the mix, so Apple households have a small extra option, but day to day these behave the same.

Both handle the automation basics well, so the decision comes down to floors. Mostly hard surfaces, pets, and a big square footage point to the DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni, which also happens to cost far less. Multiple stories and lots of carpet make the Mova P50 Pro Ultra's lifting brushes and four-map memory the smarter fit.
