Our verdict on each
Hoover
Hoover suits UK buyers who want a full floor-care and cooking range in one place, backed by a Haier legal entity and long parts availability. Its entry vacuum price of £64.99 sits well inside the category, while the flagship reaches £319.99 with lidar and a self-empty dock.
MOVA
Peak suction of 40,000 Pa puts MOVA near the front of the brands tracked here, so it suits buyers who prioritise power and a self emptying dock over the lowest ticket. Prices sit in mid field, and support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line listed.

Pros and cons
Hoover
Pros
- Entry price of £64.99 places Hoover near the front of the field on price at entry, and the flagship adds lidar and a self-empty dock.
- The range covers robot vacuum, stick and upright, so a single brand covers robot, stick, upright, wet-dry and handheld cleaning.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, and a spare parts shop plus 10 years of parts cover keeps machines in service.
Cons
- Suction of 5,000 Pa sits below a category median of 15,000 Pa, so deep carpet pile is not the strong suit.
- Obstacle avoidance is listed as none, which leaves cables and clutter to be moved by hand.
- Suction ranks 40 of 46 brands, and the flagship rank is 29 of 66.
MOVA
Pros
- Peak suction of 40,000 Pa places MOVA 2 among 46 brands ranked on that measure, well above the 15,000 Pa median across the brands tracked here.
- A self empty dock and lidar mapping both sit inside the range rather than being saved for one model, and the warranty runs 3 years.
- Robots keep cleaning when the connection drops, since they work offline, with a mobile app handling the rest.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line listed for faults that stop a clean mid room.
- MOVA was founded in 2024, so the long term record on spare parts, firmware and resale is still short.
- Entry at $189 leaves MOVA 44 among 65 brands ranked on price entry, so the cheaper end is not a budget buy.
Who each suits
Hoover
Who it suits
- Households wanting robots, stick, upright, wet-dry and handheld models under one roof
- GB shoppers who prioritise entry price over peak suction
- Buyers who value a spare parts shop and 10 years of parts cover
Who should look elsewhere
- Homes with thick carpet where suction of 5,000 Pa is not enough
- Buyers who want object recognition, since obstacle avoidance is none
- Shoppers outside GB
MOVA
Who it suits
- Buyers who put the suction figure and dock hardware above the cheapest entry price, and who want lidar mapping on the entry robot too.
- Households that want one brand for the robot vacuum plus a stick, wet-dry or handheld, since MOVA's range covers robot vacuum, stick and wet dry.
- Shoppers in the markets MOVA sells to, which include the UK, Germany, France, Japan and the US under AU, BE and CA.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want uprights next to robot vacuums: MOVA's robot vacuum, stick and wet dry stop short of them, while Ewbank lists robot vacuum, stick and upright.
- Shoppers who prefer a short decision, since Philips covers robot vacuum and wet dry and nothing more.

Questions about each
Hoover
What does the cheapest Hoover vacuum cost?+
Hoover's vacuum entry price is £64.99, which is well under the site's typical mid-range price of €61.38. At that level the models are compact machines rather than full self-emptying robots. A phone-based tidy-up on hard floors is the realistic target here.
What does the flagship Hoover robot cost?+
The flagship is listed at £319.99 and it is the model that adds a self-empty dock and lidar. Hoover's flagship rank is 29 of 66 brands, so the top of the range is mid-table. Buyers on a tight budget can start much lower with £64.99.
MOVA
How much does a MOVA robot vacuum cost?+
Robot vacuums enter the range at $189 and the flagship model costs $999. Those are the price of the machine itself rather than a recurring charge, so nothing renews after purchase. Budget separately for replacement filters, brushes and mopping pads, the parts that wear out on a robot used every day.
Which MOVA robot vacuum has the strongest suction?+
The flagship MOVA robot carries the headline figure of 40,000 Pa, and that places MOVA 2 among 46 brands ranked on peak suction. The entry robot sits lower on the same list, so suction is the reason to step up rather than a reason to buy the cheapest model.
