Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Aiper Scuba V3 ist ein kabelloser Raupenroboter, der Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie gründlich reinigt und mit dem 3-µm-Feinfilter auch Sand und Pollen festhält. Die Kamera fährt Schmutz gezielt an, an der Wasserlinie wartet er rund 10 min auf dich. Der Haken: Unter der Poolleiter verkeilt er sich, und gegen Ende des Akkus fehlt ihm Kletterkraft.

Pros

  • Reinigt Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie sichtbar sauber, auch im Rundpool
  • 3-µm-Feinfilter hält Sand und Pollen zurück, Wasser wird klarer
  • Fährt die Wasserlinie per Wasserstrahl in einer Bahn ab
  • KI-Kamera steuert verschmutzte Stellen gezielt an, arbeitet dank LEDs auch abends
  • Wartet nach dem Lauf rund 10 min an der Wasserlinie
  • Mit 8,25 kg leicht, Wasser läuft in 10 bis 15 s ab

Cons

  • Verkeilt sich wiederholt unter den Stufen einer Poolleiter
  • Verliert gegen Ende der Ladung Kletterkraft und bleibt dann am Boden
  • Feinfilter setzt sich zum Saisonstart nach jedem Lauf zu
  • Treppenstufen bleiben lückenhaft, am Wandfuß bleibt ein Streifen von 2 cm
  • Bluetooth-Verbindung bricht mehrfach ab, Ladezeit 5 bis 6 h

Der Dreame Z1 Pro ist ein kabelloser Raupen-Roboter für Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie, der Boden und Wände gründlich reinigt. Er passt zu einfachen Becken mit klarem Wasser und wenigen Einbauten. Der Haken: Fehlerabbrüche, Hängenbleiben an Leitern und Rollabdeckungen sowie ein Ergebnis, das stark von der Firmware abhängt.

Pros

  • Reinigt Boden und Wände gründlich, Boden nach rund 30 min meist sauber
  • Fährt das Becken nach Kartierung systematisch in geraden Bahnen ab
  • Knapp 3 h Komplettreinigung im Leistungsmodus mit einer Ladung
  • LiFi-Fernbedienung steuert den Roboter auch während des Laufs unter Wasser
  • Wartet an der Wasserlinie und pumpt vor dem Herausheben Wasser ab
  • Filterkorb mit 4,5 l lässt sich beidseitig öffnen und leicht ausspülen

Cons

  • Bricht Reinigung immer wieder mit Fehlermeldung ab
  • Verhakt sich an Leitern und Rollabdeckungen, teils nur mit Haken zu bergen
  • Filterkorb mit 180 µm lässt Sand und Schwebstoffe durch
  • Fernbedienung reagiert erst nach mehreren Versuchen, bei starker Sonne teils gar nicht
  • Reinigungsergebnis und Poolkarte hängen stark vom Firmwarestand ab
