Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Aiper Seagull SE ist ein kabelloser Bodensauger für kleine, flache Aufstellpools. Sand und kleine Blätter holt er von glattem Boden zuverlässig, ein Becken von 3 x 5 m war nach 30 min sauber. Wände, Wasserlinie, Gefälle und viel Laub schafft er nicht. Der Haken ist der fest verbaute Akku, der nach zwei bis drei Saisons oft stark nachlässt – bei nur einem Jahr Garantie.
Pros
- Reinigt glatten Boden kleiner Aufstellpools gründlich, 3 x 5 m in 30 min
- Nimmt Sand, Erde und kleine Blätter zuverlässig auf
- Mit 3,5 kg leicht einzusetzen, ohne Kabel und Filteranschluss
- Rund 90 min Laufzeit bei neuem Akku
- Filter in etwa 1 min geleert, Teile passen nur richtig zusammen
- Parkt bei leerem Akku an der Wand zur Bergung
Cons
- Fest verbauter Akku lässt nach zwei bis drei Saisons oft stark nach
- Schafft kein Gefälle, hängt an Folienfalten und unebenem Boden fest
- Wirbelt feinen Schmutz auf, kein Feinfilter erhältlich
- Kein Wasserablass, beim Herausheben läuft Schmutz zurück
- Nur ein Jahr Garantie, kein Zeitplan, keine App
Der BOTLUXE PC20 ist ein kabelloser Raupen-Roboter für Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie, der Laub und Insekten zuverlässig aufnimmt und an der Wasserlinie kurz verweilt. Er passt zu Becken mit geraden Wänden und grobem Schmutz. Der Haken: Feinsand und Pollen passieren den 150-µm-Filter und trüben das Wasser, bei manchen Geräten hebt die Front ab, und in runden Ecken bleibt Handarbeit.
Pros
- Boden nach einem Lauf meist frei von Sand, Blättern und Insekten
- Hält an der Wasserlinie an und schrubbt den fettigen Rand
- Kabellos mit 120 min Laufzeit im Standardprofil
- Systematische Bahnen per Gyroskop statt Zufallsfahrt
- Firmware-Updates und Wahl der Saugstufe per App
- Filterkorb lässt sich oben leicht entnehmen und ausspülen
Cons
- Feinsand und Pollen passieren den 150-µm-Filter, kein Feinfilter beiliegend
- Front hebt bei manchen Geräten ab, dann kaum Saugleistung
- Erreicht abgerundete Ecken von Frame Pools nicht
- Akku nicht wechselbar, kein Ersatzfilterkorb erhältlich
- Mit 9,87 kg schwer zu bergen, parkt nicht immer am Rand
