Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Dolphin Liberty 400 reinigt Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie ohne Kabel und wartet nach dem Lauf an der Wasserlinie auf den Klicker. In gepflegten Becken mit Folie oder rauem Beton arbeitet er verlässlich und bequem. Der Haken: weniger Sog als Kabelgeräte, ein fest verbauter Akku mit bis zu 6 h Ladezeit und Durchdrehen an glatten Fliesen.

Pros

  • Reinigt Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie ohne Schwimmkabel
  • Bergung per Klicker bis zu zwei Tage nach Zyklusende
  • Induktives Laden per Magnetstecker ohne offene Kontakte
  • Eco-Modus verteilt eine Ladung auf 3 x 40 min pro Woche
  • Systematische Bahnen per Gyroskop statt Zufallsfahrt
  • Filterkorb von oben entnehmbar, Paneele bis 50 µm

Cons

  • Raupen drehen auf glatten Fliesen und Mosaik an Wänden durch
  • Saugt und schrubbt schwächer als kabelgebundene Dolphin-Modelle
  • Akku fest verbaut, bis zu 6 h Ladezeit für einen Zyklus
  • Bei viel Schmutz bleiben nach einem Durchgang Reste
  • Wasserlinie und Ecken teils ungleichmäßig gereinigt

Der WYBOT C1 ist ein kabelloser Poolroboter auf Raupen, der Wände bis zur Wasserlinie gründlich reinigt und Laub, Insekten und groben Schmutz zuverlässig vom Boden holt. Er passt zu Folien- und Betonbecken bis 150 m². Feiner Sand geht durch den 180-µm-Filter, am Boden bleiben kleine Stellen liegen, und mehrere Geräte fielen nach Monaten aus.

Pros

  • Reinigt Wände sauber bis zur Wasserlinie und saugt dort Insekten ab
  • Holt Laub, Insekten und groben Schmutz zuverlässig vom Boden
  • 120 bis 150 min Laufzeit, reicht für Becken bis etwa 6 m Länge
  • Zyklustimer verteilt eine Akkuladung auf bis zu vier Läufe in einer Woche
  • In rund fünf Minuten samt Firmware-Update eingerichtet
  • Parkt nach dem Lauf an der Wand, Bergung per Haken und Poolstange

Cons

  • Mehrere Geräte ließen sich nach Wochen oder Monaten nicht mehr einschalten
  • Feiner Sand und Schmutzpartikel gehen durch den 180-µm-Filter
  • Lässt am Boden kleine Stellen, Innenecken und kleine Stufen aus
  • Rutscht auf Fliesen, Acryl und glatter Folie ohne Schwimmkörper von der Wand
  • Programmwahl nur per App, Kopplung scheiterte mit einzelnen Handys
