Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Dreame J1 ist ein schwimmender Solar-Skimmer, der Laub und Insekten von der Oberfläche fischt und die Wasserlinie bürstet – Boden und Wände erreicht er nie. Als Ergänzung zum Bodenroboter in einem sonnigen, windgeschützten Becken erspart er dir das tägliche Keschern. Der Haken: Die Umwälzpumpe muss aus sein, sonst treibt er ab, und Propellerfehler erzwingen Neustarts.

Pros

  • Hält Wasseroberfläche frei von Blättern und Insekten, Kescher wird seltener nötig
  • Bürstet die Wasserlinie mit zwei Seitenbürsten in eigenem Randmodus
  • Filterkorb mit 5 l und 200 µm hält Laub, Haare und Insekten zurück
  • 18-W-Solarpanel lädt bei Sonne nach, Skimmer sucht selbst die hellste Stelle
  • Parkt per App am Beckenrand, bleibt während der Fahrt erreichbar
  • Fach für Chlortabletten im Filterkorb

Cons

  • Umwälzpumpe muss aus sein, sonst treibt der Skimmer durchs Becken
  • Propellerfehler stoppen das Gerät wiederholt, Neustart nötig
  • Wind bringt ihn vom Kurs und stört die geordnete Bahn
  • Kann sich im Einlauf-Skimmer des Beckens festsetzen
  • Geordnete S-Bahn nur im versteckten Labor-Modus der App

Der MOVA Diver R10 ist ein schlichter Akku-Roboter, der nur flache Beckenböden absaugt. Für kleine Aufstellpools mit Sand und wenig Laub reichen 3,4 kg Gewicht, Ein-Tasten-Bedienung und bis zu 120 min Laufzeit. Der Haken: Die Zufallsfahrt lässt Ecken aus, und zum Rand fährt er erst bei fast leerem Akku.

Pros

  • Mit 3,4 kg einhändig aus dem Becken zu heben
  • Kabellos mit bis zu 120 min Laufzeit pro Ladung
  • Bedienung per einziger Taste, ohne App und Konto
  • Zwei Motoren und zwei Bürsten lösen Sand und Belag am Boden
  • Parkt bei fast leerem Akku selbst am Beckenrand
  • Kompakte 30,2 x 27,4 x 18,1 cm, braucht kaum Lagerplatz

Cons

  • Zufallsnavigation lässt Ecken und Kehle zur Wand oft aus
  • Vorzeitiges Zurückholen an den Rand nicht möglich, sonst nur per Haken
  • Filterkorb mit 1,7 l unter Bäumen schnell voll
  • Kein Zeitplan, jeder Lauf muss von Hand gestartet werden
  • Nachladen dauert 210 min
