Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Beatbot iSkim Ultra ist ein solarbetriebener Oberflächen-Skimmer, der Pollen, Insekten und kleine Blätter zuverlässig aus dem Wasser holt und bei Sonne praktisch ohne Pause fährt. Am meisten bringt er an offenen Becken unter Laubbäumen ohne gut arbeitenden Einbau-Skimmer. Der Haken: Große Blätter treiben oft weg, und für das Leeren des Korbs musst du das 7,7 kg schwere Gerät herausheben.
Pros
- Läuft bei Sonne dauerhaft, Akku blieb über Monate über 85 %
- Holt Pollen, Insekten und kleine Blätter fast vollständig ein
- Großer 9-l-Korb, bei viel Laub nur alle drei Tage leeren
- Planvolle S-Bahnen mit Ultraschall-Randerkennung
- Ausziehbare Bügel verhindern Aufsetzen an Stufen und Sonnenbänken
- Manuelle App-Steuerung für Laubnester, stabile WLAN-Verbindung
Cons
- Große Blätter treiben seitlich weg, nur 40 bis 45 % Kunstlaub eingesammelt
- Korb nur nach Herausheben des 7,7 kg schweren Geräts erreichbar
- Kleine Propeller, Sog lässt bei Wind nach
- An bewölkten Herbsttagen teils nur etwa 3 h Betrieb
- Klärmittel-Spender bei ausgeglichener Wasserchemie ohne erkennbaren Nutzen
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
