The DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni leans on hardware that solves specific annoyances: a roller mop that scrubs with constant water flow, an anti-tangle cutter in the brush, and hot-air drying at 145 °F so the dock never smells. The Mova P50 Ultra counters with slightly stronger 19,000 Pa suction, a bigger onboard dustbin, mapping for up to four floors, and an LED-assisted obstacle system for dim rooms. Hard-floor-heavy homes with long hair and pets are the X8's territory; the P50 Ultra suits multi-story homes where vacuuming carpet is the main job.
Roller mop versus dual spinning pads is the real question here, and it splits these two machines cleanly. Ecovacs put its newest mopping hardware in the DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni, a rotating roller that scrubs with fresh water and squeegees the dirty stuff away, then dries itself with genuinely hot air. Mova took the proven route with the P50 Ultra: two spinning pads, a slightly stronger vacuum, and mapping that stretches across four floors. Add a big price gap between them (in the Ecovacs' favor) and the decision stops being about which is better overall and starts being about your floors.
Ecovacs DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni
out of 10Mova P50 Ultra
The Mova P50 Ultra takes the overall rating 8.2 versus 7.6, and most of that comes from cleaning, where it earns 8.1 against the DEEBOT's 7.1. Navigation flips the other way: the X8 Pro Omni rates 9.1 to the P50 Ultra's 8.1, thanks to its RGB-D camera and structured light setup. Features land close, 7.0 versus 6.6. On value, the P50 Ultra delivers more than its price implies, and the DEEBOT sits about where it should.
Mopping hardware separates these two more than any spec sheet line. The X8 Pro Omni uses a roller mop spinning at 200 RPM with 50 moisture levels, continuously rinsing itself as it works, and it's the newer approach compared to the P50 Ultra's dual spinning pads. Then there's drying: the Ecovacs dock blows 145 °F air at the roller, the Mova dock runs 113 °F. On the vacuum side, Mova edges ahead with 19,000 Pa to 18,000 Pa and a larger onboard dustbin, but the Ecovacs brush has a built-in cutter that slices through wrapped hair. Mapping range matters too. The P50 Ultra handles four floor plans, the X8 Pro Omni stores two.
Mova nudges ahead on paper with 19,000 Pa against 18,000 Pa and a roomier onboard dustbin, but the Ecovacs pairs its rubber brush with a hair-cutting blade, which matters more day to day than the 1,000 Pa gap. Both use a single rubber roller brush, so debris pickup on hard floors is comparable.
The X8 Pro Omni's roller mop is the more advanced system here, scrubbing at 200 RPM while continuously rinsing itself instead of pushing dirty water around like pads eventually do. Mova's dual spinning pads still scrub actively and lift 10.5 mm for carpet, but they lack the self-rinsing action and the 50-step moisture control the Ecovacs offers.
Anti-tangle is the deciding factor for pet households, and only the DEEBOT has it. Long fur wraps around brush rollers fast, and the built-in cutter keeps you from flipping the robot over with scissors every week, even though Mova counters with marginally higher suction and a slightly larger dock dust bag at 3.2 L.
Both run LiDAR plus a camera with AI and 3D structured light obstacle detection, but the P50 Ultra adds an LED light so it can identify socks and cables in dark rooms, clears 22 mm thresholds to the Ecovacs' 20 mm, and stores four floor maps versus two. The X8 Pro Omni answers with an RGB-D camera that reads depth directly.
Ecovacs wins the dock battle on drying alone: 145 °F hot air versus 113 °F on the Mova means the mop dries fast enough to skip that damp-towel smell. The DEEBOT also holds more dirty water in its dock, so you empty it less often.
The DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni carries a 6,400 mAh battery good for 291 minutes of runtime, enough to cover a large home in one pass before it needs to recharge. The P50 Ultra's 5,200 mAh pack is smaller.
It's a wash. Both handle Alexa and Google Assistant, plus no-go zones, multi-level maps and smart carpet cleaning; Ecovacs adds built-in voice commands you can use without a smart speaker, and Mova adds Apple support.

Match the machine to your floors. The DEEBOT X8 Pro Omni gives you newer mopping hardware, tangle-free brush maintenance and a longer battery for far less money. The Mova P50 Ultra is the pick when carpets dominate, you have several floors to map, and vacuuming outranks mopping.
