Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Beatbot Sora 30 ist ein kabelloser Raupenroboter, der Boden und Wände gründlich von Laub und Sand befreit und im Standardmodus rund 4,5 h durchhält. Für einfach geformte Becken bis etwa 10 m Länge ist er eine solide Wahl. Der Haken: Ohne Karte lässt er Ecken, Stufen und Plattformen teils aus, und feinen Staub hält der mitgelieferte 150-µm-Korb nicht zurück.
Pros
- Saugt Laub, Sand, Kiesel und Eicheln zuverlässig ein
- Rund 4,5 h Laufzeit im Standardmodus mit Wänden und Wasserlinie
- 5-l-Korb muss auch nach über 4 h nicht geleert werden
- Steigt nach dem Lauf auf, parkt am Rand und lässt Wasser ab
- Klettert sicher an Wänden, auch bei faltiger alter Folie
- Flachwasserreinigung schon ab 20 cm Wassertiefe
Cons
- Ecken und Übergang Boden–Wand bleiben ohne Karte oft ungereinigt
- Breite Stufen und Sonnenplattformen reinigt er nicht systematisch
- 150-µm-Korb lässt Feinstaub durch, 3-µm-Korb nur als Zubehör
- Kein Wochenplan in der App, Einrichtung nur im 2,4-GHz-WLAN
- Wasserlinie nur in kurzen Rucken statt entlang gefahren
Der MOVA Rover X10 reinigt Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie sehr gründlich und bleibt dank AquaSonar-Boje auch unter Wasser per App steuerbar. Der Haken: schmale Stufen und Flachwasserzonen lässt er oft aus, in verwinkelten Becken fährt er unsystematisch, und mit 15,8 kg trocken wird jedes Herausheben zur Kraftübung. Er passt zu großen, einfach geformten Becken mit WLAN am Rand.
Pros
- Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie werden sehr gründlich gereinigt
- Verweilt an der Wasserlinie und schrubbt, statt nur anzustoßen
- App-Verbindung bleibt per AquaSonar-Boje auch unter Wasser bestehen
- 321 m² in 161 min mit nur 55 % Akkuverbrauch
- Skimmer-Modus fischt Laub und Insekten von der Oberfläche
- Großer 5-l-Filterkorb, dazu Feinfilter mit 3 µm
Cons
- Schmale Stufen und Flachwasserzonen bleiben oft ungereinigt
- 15,8 kg trocken, vollgesogen beim Herausheben eine echte Last
- Filterkorb öffnet nicht nach unten, Ausspülen ist mühsam
- In verwinkelten oder großen Becken teils lückenhafte Bahnen an Wänden
- Boje muss separat geladen werden, Verbindung bricht teils ab
