MOVA Diver A10: First Impressions and Setup<\/p>\n
The MOVA Diver A10 arrives with both a quick start guide and a comprehensive user manual, making setup straightforward even if you\u2019ve never owned a robotic pool cleaner before. Once fully charged, it\u2019s simply a matter of selecting your preferred cleaning mode and placing it into the pool.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The robot itself has a little bit of weight to it. It\u2019s certainly not difficult to lift, but it\u2019s not something I\u2019d want to carry too far. Thankfully, getting it in and out of the pool is easy, particularly with the supplied retrieval hook that attaches to a standard pool cleaning pole.<\/p>\n
My existing pool cleaner is a traditional suction cleaner (or \u201ccreepy crawly\u201d), so throughout this review you\u2019ll see a few comparisons based on my experience using both systems.<\/p>\n
A closer look at the Diver A10\u2019s front cleaning system and PoolNav hardware.<\/p>\n MOVA Home App, Cleaning Modes and Scheduling<\/p>\n The MOVA Home app was simple to connect and provides a range of useful features, including firmware updates, cleaning progress, battery status, Wi-Fi management and various preference settings.<\/p>\n You can also change between Floor Only, Walls Only or Floor & Walls cleaning. During testing I also explored features available through the app, including Auto-parking and Dual Waterline Scrubbing.<\/p>\n The MOVA Home app lets you choose between the Diver A10\u2019s different cleaning modes and check its battery level.<\/p>\n One feature I found particularly useful was being able to monitor the robot while it was cleaning. The app displays the cleaner\u2019s progress throughout the cleaning cycle, allowing me to check in without having to walk outside. I also received notifications when the cleaning cycle had finished and when the battery was running low, which I found to be a handy addition. The app also includes a helpful support section should you need assistance.<\/p>\n The MOVA Home app records completed cleaning tasks, including cleaning duration and estimated water filtered.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The app even has a smart scheduling feature where you can set up to 4 cleaning days, times and particular tasks. Pretty handy for when you are time poor, just make sure it\u2019s charged.<\/p>\n As someone who\u2019s a little over needing an app for everything these days, I really appreciated that the robot can be operated directly from the unit itself. The app adds plenty of useful features, but it isn\u2019t a requirement every time you want to clean the pool. Cleaning modes can be selected directly on the robot, so if you\u2019re already outside you can simply turn it on, choose your mode and let it get to work.<\/p>\n Manuals and MOVA support options are also available directly through the app.<\/p>\n How Well Does the MOVA Diver A10 Clean?<\/p>\n My test pool is a saltwater pebblecrete pool measuring approximately 110 square metres and 50,000 litres, giving the A10 a reasonably large area to cover during a single cleaning cycle. I tested the cleaner over multiple cleaning cycles using different cleaning modes to see how it performed.<\/p>\n Overall, the floor cleaning was very good. Sometimes it\u2019s easier to show than tell. In the video below, you can clearly see the A10 leaving a clean path behind as it moves through a section of built-up dirt on the pool floor, collecting leaves, other debris as it moves.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Wall cleaning was also impressive. Compared to my existing suction cleaner, which rarely cleans the walls particularly well, the MOVA made a noticeable difference. I was actually quite impressed with how well it cleaned the waterline. Although I couldn\u2019t really notice any difference between using the Dual Waterline Scrubbing setting and leaving it off, it still removed a surprising amount of the built-up waterline mark.<\/p>\n Like every robotic pool cleaner I\u2019ve used, there were still a few areas that needed attention afterwards, particularly around the steps, beach entry and corners. It travelled around these sections but didn\u2019t clean them perfectly. Having said that, these are areas where many robotic pool cleaners traditionally struggle, so I wasn\u2019t overly surprised. My creepy crawly also doesn\u2019t clean the beach entry particularly well, although it does manage the steps slightly better. While the Mova attempted to clean the step\/seat area below, it managed one trip then obviously didn\u2019t return for a second attempt.<\/p>\n Shallow pebblecrete beach entry in pool used to test MOVA Diver A10<\/p>\n Interestingly, during later runs the robot travelled over areas it had previously missed, suggesting the AI navigation doesn\u2019t follow exactly the same path every time. It\u2019s possible that multiple cleaning cycles would eventually provide complete coverage, however personally I wouldn\u2019t want to remove the robot, recharge it and run another full cleaning cycle just to pick up a few remaining spots.<\/p>\n I was keen to check the debris basket after the initial clean. The first thing I noticed was just how much debris it collected despite my pool looking reasonably clean beforehand. The filter basket contained fine dust, dirt, leaves, small sticks and (of course) dog hair, showing that it was picking up much more than what was immediately visible.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Cleaning and Maintaining the MOVA Diver A10<\/p>\n One of my favourite parts of the MOVA Diver A10 is just how easy it is to maintain.\u00a0Removing the filter basket takes only seconds, and emptying it is as simple as tipping out the debris and giving it a quick rinse under the garden hose. There\u2019s no complicated disassembly or fiddly components to deal with.<\/p>\n The MOVA Diver A10 can be operated directly from the unit, so you don\u2019t need to open the app every time you clean the pool.<\/p>\n Battery Life and Runtime<\/p>\n Charging is equally straightforward, although it\u2019s worth remembering that, unlike a traditional suction cleaner that works whenever your pool pump is running, this is a cordless cleaner. That means you do need to think ahead a little by charging it between cleaning sessions.<\/p>\n As a cordless cleaner, the Diver A10 needs to be removed from the pool and recharged between cleaning sessions.<\/p>\n The MOVA Diver A10 is advertised as offering up to 240 minutes of runtime. During my testing, I achieved up to 210 minutes of cleaning before the battery became depleted. While this was a little short of the maximum advertised runtime, it was still enough to clean the majority of my 110-square-metre pool in a single cycle.\u00a0 As the battery starts running low, the indicator light changes to orange before the robot completes its cleaning cycle.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
