Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Dreame L40 Ultra AE ist ein Saug- und Wischroboter für Wohnungen mit viel Hartboden und Haaren. Auf Laminat sammelt er in einer Fahrt gut 97 von 100 g Schmutz ein, die Station wäscht die Mopps mit 75 °C und trocknet sie warm. Der Haken: Die starre Seitenbürste lässt Zimmerecken voller Schmutz zurück, Langflor fährt er gar nicht an, und einzelne Geräte fallen früh aus.
Pros
- Holt in einer Fahrt 97,44 von 100 g Schmutz vom Laminat
- TriCut-Bürste nimmt lange Haare ohne Aufwickeln auf, liegt bei
- Station wäscht Mopps mit 75 °C und trocknet sie warm
- Erkennt Hundekot zuverlässig, umfährt 12 von 16 Objekten
- Mit 9,7 cm Bauhöhe kommt er unter viele Möbel
- Überwindet Türschwellen bis 2,2 cm ohne Hilfe
Cons
- Starre Seitenbürste holt kein einziges Maiskorn aus Zimmerecken
- Auf Teppich bleibt nach einer Fahrt ein Viertel des Schmutzes
- Mopps heben nur 10,5 mm, Langflor wird ausgelassen
- Einzelne Geräte fallen nach Wochen bis acht Monaten aus
- Übersieht dünne Kabel, Stifte und sehr flache Gegenstände
Der Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal ist eher Wischroboter als Allrounder: Eingetrocknete Flecken auf Hartboden schrubbt er gründlich und gezielt weg, die Station wäscht das Pad mit 85 °C. Auf Hochflor, bei Tierhaaren und frisch Verschüttetem schwächelt er, der Wasserverbrauch ist hoch. Weil die App nur eine Karte speichert, taugt er nur, wenn du auf einer Etage mit viel Hartboden wohnst.
Pros
- Schrubbt eingetrocknete Flecken wie Kaffee gezielt und gründlich nach
- Beutellose Station mit Moppwäsche bei 85 °C und Warmlufttrocknung
- Legt die Wischplatte beim reinen Saugen in der Station ab
- Zügige, genaue Kartierung per LiDAR-Laser und KI-Kamera
- Bis zu 180 min Akkulaufzeit, laut Vacuum Wars rund 195 m² pro Ladung
- Niedrige Folgekosten dank beutellosem 1,5-l-Staubbehälter
Cons
- Lässt auf Hochflor viel Feinschmutz liegen, bei netzwelt nur 17,5 von 30 g
- Haare wickeln sich trotz Anti-Verhedderungs-Bürste um die Walze
- Hoher Wasserverbrauch, Böden bleiben teils über 30 min feucht
- Nur eine Karte speicherbar, ungeeignet für mehrere Etagen
- Verheddert sich in Kabeln und scheitert an Schwellen ab 25 mm
