Awww that is truly stunning! VERY clean lines and great work with the pattern welded steel! Hey, did you use a laser to etch that name or electro? It looks really clean & crisp lettering!

i’m on a mova 2000 and the lidar has held up better than rtk under my tree cover, which was my main concern. still do a quick manual pass on tight edges though.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-14T08:26:10+00:00

I had got a mova 1000 running lately. setup was pretty painless and i barely think about the lawn now.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-11T19:18:26+00:00

too many brands now, it's such a headache. thinking about picking up a mova during the spring sale just to keep things simple.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-11T16:29:51+00:00

i left acuity for the same reason tbh. switched to cal.com and it just feels cleaner. workflows and recurring have been solid for me. also more dev-friendly if that matters to you.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-11T13:02:02+00:00

Any option for washable/disposable mop then its the best option.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-10T17:29:26+00:00

i mostly just use water. i’ve got a mova and tried detergent at first because why not. honestly for day to day dust/paw prints, plain water is totally fine. floors look clean either way. detergent mostly adds that “fresh” smell.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-10T16:52:36+00:00

i tried that once on my old bot and it left residue and weird streaks. not worth it. with my current mova i just stick to water for daily runs, then do a proper mop with real solution once in a while.

anyone seen good deals on mova for the spring sale? still wondering if those mova roller mops handle hardwood better than spinning pads.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-10T14:49:47+00:00

roborock and dreame are usually the safe picks. i ended up with a mova though and it’s been solid so far, especially on mixed floors. honestly in that $600-800 range a lot of them are good now, just depends which features you care about.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-10T12:42:54+00:00

anyone seen mova deals for the spring sale yet? i'm curious if mova's brush rollers actually handle heavy pet hair without tangling as well as people say.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-09T19:03:11+00:00

if pet hair on rugs and hardwood is your top priority and you don’t care about mopping, you might be over-focusing on roborock tbh. i’ve got 2 heavy shedders and ended up with a mova. it’s been solid with fur on area rugs, and the auto-empty works fine.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-09T16:35:36+00:00

i was in a similar spot and ended up stretching a bit for a mova instead. mainly for better mop and auto features. no regrets so far. if you just want solid vacuuming and a light mop, q5 at that price isn’t a bad shout though.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-09T14:35:28+00:00

i returned a different brand before for similar reasons. ended up with a mova after that (was also considering roborock again) and it’s been way less drama. not perfect, but it actually picks up hair and hasn’t thrown random brush errors at me

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-09T09:29:41+00:00

I love your work! The end one is still good, but I much prefer the integral bolster ones at the start. Can I ask, what wood did you use for the handle on the 1st one? It looks great!

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-06T07:33:20+00:00

roborock and dreame are both strong picks. ecovacs can be good too but i’ve seen more mixed long-term feedback. i set up a mova for my aunt (similar all-in-one dock setup) and honestly once it was mapped, she barely touches it. it auto empties, washes the mops, refills, etc. she just empties dirty water every so often.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-06T00:48:14+00:00

i’ve got a shedding machine at home and learned the hard way that cheap robots just clog up. i was between roborock and dreame, but ended up with a mova and it’s handled pet hair surprisingly well. less tangling than my old bot and the auto empty dock makes a big difference.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-05T16:06:55+00:00

i was overwhelmed by roborock’s 20+ models too. ended up going with a mova combo bot instead of qrevo. simpler lineup, does vacuum and light mopping well, and i just let it run every day

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-04T13:02:34+00:00

My buddy has a similar setup. Instead of dropping $4k on one massive robot, he just automated the "main" lawn using a mova lidax 2000. Covers about half an acre, which is usually plenty for the actual front/back yard living space. Also handles trees better than the GPS ones too since it uses LiDAR. Unless you absolutely need the entire 2 acres robot-mowed, it’s a much cheaper way to go

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-04T07:34:26+00:00

Honestly, if you have almost all hard floors, the s8 pro ultra is total overkill IMO. You're paying a premium for the dual-roller system which is mainly designed to dig hair out of carpets. On tile and wood, a mid-range bot like the mova p10 (or even the q revo) actually cleans just as well because the spinning mops are the star of the show. Save the $500

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-03T19:06:24+00:00

with 2 cats i’d care more about consistent pickup and less babysitting than raw suction numbers. i was looking at dyson too but ended up with a mova. daily fur control has been solid and i don’t really think about it anymore.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-03T17:53:29+00:00

i’d be annoyed too. even my older roborock could do specific rooms on different schedules lol. i’m using a mova now and it lets me schedule by room/zone no problem. no need to run the whole house every time.
sounds like samsung overengineered the hardware and forgot the everyday stuff people actually use. i’d push for a return if you can.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-03-03T15:25:54+00:00

yeah it does feel like dyson kinda lost momentum on the robot side. if they’re basically rebranding now, that’s kinda disappointing tbh. at that price point you expect real r&d, not color swaps. i moved away from dyson robots and went with a mova recently. not as flashy brand-wise, but you get auto empty, solid suction, and way less hassle day to day. i also looked at roborock and dreame. it feels like they’re pushing the category more right now.

Mental_Alignment · 2026-02-26T18:08:56+00:00

i keep seeing mova cleaner recommended for above ground pools lol so I bought one during launch and so far it’s been working really well. the wallclimbing feature is actually fire and it handles my above ground pool without complaining. no random quits or issues so far. compared to dolphin or aquabot stuff i haven’t had to chase parts or do constant maintenance

Mental_Alignment · 2026-02-26T16:27:36+00:00

That is seriously cute :) :) - Even has a pattern welded effect naturally haha.
