Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Aiper Scuba S1 ist ein kabelloser Raupenroboter für Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie, der vor allem den Boden gründlich reinigt. Eine Akkuladung reicht für gut 2,5 h, danach dauert das Nachladen 3 bis 4 h. Für eckige und ovale Gartenbecken ohne Treppenanlage taugt er gut. Breite Stufen, Leitern und viel Laub bremsen ihn, und unter Wasser lässt sich ein laufendes Programm nicht ändern.
Pros
- Boden nach einem vollen Lauf meist restlos sauber, auch feiner Sand und Haare
- Schrubbt die Wasserlinie bis etwa 4 bis 5 cm über der Oberkante
- Kabellos mit gut 2,5 h Laufzeit pro Ladung in der Praxis
- MicroMesh-Feinfilter mit 3 µm holt Staub und Algenreste aus dem Wasser
- Mit 7,7 kg leicht, Wasser läuft beim Herausheben ab
- Eco-Modus reinigt in der Urlaubswoche alle 48 h den Boden
Cons
- Hängt an breiten Treppen und Leitern fest, meldet blockierte Kette
- Kommt in kleinen Rundbecken die gekrümmte Wand schlecht hoch
- Bei viel Laub sind drei bis vier Läufe mit Bergen und Laden nötig
- Laufendes Programm lässt sich unter Wasser weder ändern noch stoppen
- Filterkorb schließt bei einzelnen Geräten nicht dicht, Schmutz fällt zurück
Der Beatbot Sora 70 ist ein kabelloser Raupenroboter, der Boden, Wände, Wasserlinie und Oberfläche in einem Gerät reinigt. Treibendes Laub und Pollen landen im 6-l-Korb, bevor sie absinken, und ein Skimmer-Roboter wird überflüssig. Der Haken: Ein kompletter Lauf dauert rund 4,5 h, Ecken und schmale Stufen brauchen weiter die Handbürste. Wenn du abends startest und viel Laub hast, passt er gut.
Pros
- Reinigt Boden, Wände, Wasserlinie und Oberfläche in einem Gerät
- Oberfläche voller Blätter und Insekten nach 10 bis 15 min sauber
- Klettert sicher über den Übergang Boden–Wand bis zur Wasserlinie
- 6-l-Filterkorb nimmt viel Laub, Eicheln und kleine Äste auf
- Taucht auf, parkt am Rand und lässt beim Herausheben Wasser ab
- Bis zu 7 h im Oberflächenmodus, unter Wasser fast lautlos
Cons
- Kompletter Lauf über Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie dauert rund 4,5 h
- Ecken und schmale Stufen bleiben teils schmutzig, Handbürste nötig
- 150-µm-Standardfilter lässt feinen Staub durch, Feinfilter nur optional
- Taucht nach jedem Lauf auf, ungeeignet für Becken mit Rollladen
- Keine Poolkarte, keine Ladestation, rund 10 kg schwer
