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
WYBOT A171
Der WYBOT A1 ist ein günstiger Akku-Bodenroboter für flache Aufstellpools und ebene Becken. Sand, Insekten und feinen Schmutz holt er dank Sieb und Filterschwamm zuverlässig vom Boden, bedient wird er ohne App über eine Taste. Der Haken: An Stufen, Folienfalten und Schrägen über 15° bleibt er hängen, Wände und Wasserlinie reinigt er nicht, und der Akku hält teils nur eine Stunde.
Pros
- Nimmt Sand, Insekten und feinen Schmutz auf ebenem Boden zuverlässig auf
- Zusätzlicher Filterschwamm hält feine Schwebeteilchen und Pollen zurück
- Saugt an der Wand einige Sekunden mit voller Kraft nach
- Bedienung ohne App über eine Taste, Zyklus-Timer mit vier Stufen
- Kabellos und mit 3,5 kg leicht, Wasserauslass beim Herausheben
- Parkt am Ende des Laufs selbst an der Beckenwand
Cons
- Bleibt an Stufen, Folienfalten und Schrägen über 15° hängen
- Akku hält im Alltag teils nur rund eine Stunde statt 120 min
- Keine Bürsten, schwerer Sand und grobes Laub bleiben teils liegen
- Kleiner Filterkorb, bei starker Verschmutzung Leeren zwischendurch nötig
- Anleitung erklärt den Zyklus-Timer nur knapp
