When a brand chooses Silicon Valley as the stage for its first major U.S. debut, it’s making a statement. MOVA did exactly that this week with a launch event for its Cleaning Business Group (Clean BG), positioning itself as a company ready to compete head-on in one of the most demanding premium appliance markets in the world.
What stands out isn’t the scale of the launch – more than 20 products across vacuums, robot cleaners, wet/dry systems, and personal care – but the direction of the technology innovations underlying them. The company isn’t simply launching gadgets; it’s trying to build a coherent ecosystem for what it describes as whole-home intelligent cleaning, and the technology behind these products reflects that ambition.
A new generation of robot vacuums built around adaptive cleaning intelligence
The star of MOVA’s lineup is the high-end robot vacuum series, led by the Mobius 60 with its modular cleaning system. What makes the unit interesting is its ability to tailor the cleaning process to different floor types and room layouts. The AI-zoned cleaning system divides the home into functional zones automatically, and the “MopSwap” hub lets the robot shift between multiple mop pads designed for different surfaces and tasks.
The onboard systems go further than simple surface cleaning. The 12N downward pressure and DuoSolution setup are designed to adjust how much force or water the robot applies based on the mess it detects, while StepMaster 2.0 allows the robot to climb over obstacles up to 3.15 inches high.
That flexibility is paired with serious power – MOVA cites up to 30,000Pa of suction – and a triple anti-tangle mechanism that addresses a pain point that has plagued nearly every robot vacuum we’ve tested over the years. In other words, MOVA is aiming for reliability in environments that aren’t perfectly staged.
Meanwhile, the Z60 Ultra Roller Complete and the S70 Ultra Roller, support MOVA’s strong focus on mopping. HydroForce relies on high-pressure water flow rather than drag-based pad pressure, which has been a limitation in many competing designs.
Across the top models, MaxiReach technology pushes brushes and mop pads fully to the edge of baseboards, reducing the strip of untouched floor many robot vacuums leave behind.
Wet & dry vacuums: steam, self-cleaning, and zero-gap coverage
MOVA’s wet-and-dry hand-held vacuums continue the tech innovation. The X5 Ultra Steam, uses 180°C/365°F steam for deep sanitizing. That’s far hotter than the typical warm-water “steam-like” systems used by some competitors, and MOVA adds a constant-pressure scraper with dual comb-tooth strips to help release stuck-on grime. The mop pad extends automatically as it encounters messes, and the robot arm inside the base handles pad cleaning, which cuts down on maintenance.
The M50 Ultra takes a different tack by going after edge cleaning – a common weak point in this category. MOVA’s EdgeCoverage AI system enables true zero-gap cleaning using a robotic arm that extends to reach corners and baseboards. The handle of the M50 folds articulates for low-clearance cleaning – under beds, deep under couches – and the back-and-forth gliding power system is designed to help users manage the resistance that comes from heavier cleaning passes.
Cordless stick vacuums: adaptive power and multi-surface designs
Stick vacuums round out the home cleaning products, and MOVA’s top model here, the G70, uses a twin-brush system mounted on a robotic arm so it can perform front-side edge cleaning. Dirt detection sensors automatically modulate suction, and the extendable wand helps reach under beds and corners without awkward attachments.
Further down the line, models like the S1 and S2 Detect bring more familiar approaches but with updated tech. The S1 focuses on longer runtime and a 5-layer filtration system that maintains suction strength, while the S2 Detect pushes a 150AW motor with 10-cone cyclonic separation. Across the lineup, MOVA is clearly aiming to show that handheld vacuums don’t have to be basic appliances.
Extending into personal care with controlled airflow and thermal engineering
While home cleaning is the center of the portfolio, MOVA is also launching personal-care products in the U.S. The standout here is the Aero C high-speed hair dryer. MOVA’s airflow approach is built around a 360° “C-chamber” design that claims to deliver smoother, more even drying. Instead of blasting heat in one direction, the chamber circulates air around the hair to dry quickly and gently. The dual-airflow system increases speed while minimizing thermal damage, and MOVA’s use of plasma ions is aimed at reducing frizz and improving smoothness and shine without additives.
These personal-care devices fit into MOVA’s broader narrative: they’re controlled, appliances built on high-efficiency motors and airflow systems. Even if they’re not part of the cleaning ecosystem, the engineering principles behind them are the same.
A launch strategy anchored in technology innovation
With its Silicon Valley launch event, the company is positioning itself as a “whole-home intelligent cleaning” brand built on three technical pillars: AI perception, extreme power systems, and self-maintaining automation. Whether it’s the AI-zoned cleaning in the Mobius 60, the high-temperature sanitation modules in the rollers, or the zero-gap robotic-arm edge cleaning in the M50 Ultra, the focus is consistently on solving long-standing cleaning issues in the home.
For consumers, the value proposition is straightforward: smarter navigation, better deep cleaning, more complete automation, and personal-care devices that use the same level of engineering discipline. For MOVA, the bet is much bigger. This launch is the opening move in a long-term effort to be recognized as a major player in the home appliance space, driven by a commitment to technological innovation.
