I dont usually write reviews on products I have purchased on amazon but I felt this was worth the time to let other potential buyers know my experience to date with something that is new to the market and with only a few reviews to rely on.Naturally I was worried when ordering something not tried and tested and was hesitant at first but I don't regret my decision now that I have spent a week with this vacuum.After researching the different types of robot vacuums around with a choice of radar, lidar and camera navigation controlled options, I found this one to be one of the cheapest lidar (laser) equipped vacuum on the market that has many specs usually reserved for high end machines. There are loads of cheaper and more expensive options out there and likely better ones around if you spend a lot more money but from my research and experience this is great value for money considering the reatively low cost.The vacuum came in premium packaging and feels like a premium product which instantly made me happy as i didnt know what to expect for the price. Setting up was relatively easy and it found my Wifi and connected quite quickly with the app. The mapping feature is something i wanted and it is great, its first run maps out all the areas it can get to and works very well - ive not had any issues thankfully. Once it has mapped out your home you are able to select a zone to clean up or split your map into rooms so that you can instruct it to clean individual rooms that you choose or simply carry out a full clean using the Xioami app to control the vacuum.The mop fuction works well and is a water based wipe of the floor using a microfibre cloth and pretty much the standard way that most robot vacuums clean (without detergent). It does a good job so there are no complaints.The suction power on turbo is amazing, it leaves clear lines in the carpet where it has vacuumed which only shows the amount of power it has which is great to see.I had an issue connecting to Alexa as it didnt work to begin with but the tech support sorted this out really quickly and got it working by what i can only assume was creating a new skill on Amazon specifically for this vacuum within a few hours, ive added screenshots of the 2 skills needed on Alexa that work.It has been refreshing to see product support from the seller trying hard to satisfy customers and firing emails back and forth to iron out issues that customers have highlighted and this added to the reasons behind being compelled to write a review.Cons:1. The vacuum does not support multi floor properties as i was hoping to position it on the second floor of my house so i could map out and clean that floor whenever i manually position it but unfortunately this feature is not available yet - hopefully the tech guys at Mova can integrate this in to a future firmware update so i will look forward to this posibility.2. The Alexa fuction can only start the complete clean cycle and pause it. it cannot be used to instuct a particular room or cancellation of the cycle meaning it all or nothing to clean without the option of returning to base until it completed the whole clean. Again i hope a firmware update and some coding on their end can expand the ability in future but saying that you can open the app and have full control so its not the be all and end all.Overall Advice - buy it while its cheap, you will be hard pushed to find better for the price!!

The media could not be loaded. Purchased after seeing a friend's.This is excellent. Maps the house on the first go and then runs off that every time. Does the edges and then the middle in rows, very efficient.You can put in no go zones, false walls and no mop zones, so it won't get stuck or make the carpet wet.Schedule's make it easy, ours runs every day at 12.On Fridays I attach the mop pad and it mops the floor, not doing the rugs or carpets because of the no mop zones. The app notices you've attached the mop so they become relevant.The app is very good and the carpet boost setting for carpet detection is brilliant. It goes from hard floor to rug and increases the suction by sensing the carpet.4 suction settings, 3 water flow settings for mopping. You can even drive it from the app with direction controls.The percentage of life left in the roller and filter is great. Stats total for cleaning and usage. What more could you need.I've not tried Alexa integration, the app does everything I need and it's now set and forget because of the schedule.Cleaning the trap and filter is easy enough, the included tool is well considered.I'm disabled and can't hoover, this is wonderful and worth every penny.Plus it's a robot and that's cool.*Googly eyes bought separate from Amazon.

The highlight is that I think this is amazing, but the accessories are a bit pricey, when they are available.I was always a bit dubious about robot vacuums and mops, and to have a combined vac & mop I thought that it would be either good at one and not the other or bad at both... well I was wrong, Oh so wrong!I gave the house a vacuum with my upright but I always have a bit of an issue with the edges, I left it for 48 hours then ran the Mova L600 for it's first outing. I was expecting it to pick up most things but not to be a amazing and to miss areas. When I looked at what had been collected I was astonished at how much has been collected, especially as I have only vacuumed recently. The edges too were lovely and clean. Overall the pickup is great, and this was not even on full power, the speed and noise levels were good too, I can have it running whilst I am working with no issues.I tried the mop function, the water tank is a good size and it was able to mop approx 33 sqm and only use a quarter of the tank (running it on medium flow). Again I mopped the floor the day before so was clean and it has only light traffic during the day. When the mopping function finished I was again surprised the dirt picked up on the mop.Overall, I really love this little robot. I love the LiDAR laser function as I am always weary about connecting devices with cameras to the internet, so this gives me peace of mind, and it is quicker to scan the room so navigation is quick. The mopping and vacuuming functions both exceeded my expectation, I am very pleased with my purchase.Some issues / concerns, the App is easy enough to use but I am sure there are features that I am not using because I can''t find them in the App. it could be a little simpler.Spare parts I think are expensive, but not owning a robot vacuum I have no experience to compare that with. Also availability of spares seems to be a bit patchy, but hopefully that will improve in time.That all said, I have no regrets and my floors have been vacuumed and moped in the time it has taken me to write this review.Update after several months usage: I am still very happy however I have second thoughts on the mopping function for the following reasons:1) There is no 'Y-mop' function or agitation \ scrubbing action on the mop head.2) You cannot use solution in the water reservoir3) The mop cloths have a 'spine' that slides in a grove on the mop attachment, after washing them a few times the plastic pipe in the spine came out, meaning you could no longer attach then to mop attachment. I purchased some replacements and the same thing happened.Still a great vacuum, but I have given up using it for mopping, which is a shame.
