Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Dyson Gen 5 DT Absolute ist ein außergewöhnlich gründlicher Akkusauger, der Teppich und Hartboden in Praxistests nahezu restlos reinigt. Für große Wohnungen mit Teppich und Haustieren ist er eine starke Wahl, zumal Haardüse und Lichtstrahl im Alltag echten Nutzen bringen. Der Haken: Mit 3,5 kg ist er schwer, und in einem Labortest schmolzen Gehäuse an den Akkukontakten – registriere die Garantie gleich nach dem Kauf.
Pros
- Sehr hohe Saugkraft, bis 99 % Schmutzaufnahme auf Teppich in Tests
- Grüner Lichtstrahl macht feinen Staub auf Hartboden sichtbar
- Haardüse und Motorbar-Walze bleiben weitgehend frei von aufgewickelten Haaren
- Fugendüse im Rohr integriert und immer griffbereit
- Im Eco-Modus rund 70 bis 76 min Laufzeit gemessen
- Wechselakku ohne Werkzeug abnehmbar
Cons
- Mit 3,5 kg schwer, als Handsauger 2,3 kg
- Boost-Modus hält nur 7 bis 15 min
- Ladezeit bis 4,5 h, kein Zweitakku im Lieferumfang
- Geschmolzene Akkukontakte bei zwei Geräten im Labor-Dauertest
- Steht nicht allein, Ein-Aus-Knopf nur mit zweiter Hand erreichbar
Der Levoit LVAC 200 MAX ist ein leichter Stielsauger der Budgetklasse, der Hartboden und Fugen gründlich reinigt und dank 3000-mAh-Wechselakku mit Bodendüse 27 min im mittleren Modus schafft. Lange Haare wickeln sich kaum um die Walze. Der Haken: Hochflor braucht mehrere Durchgänge, und für Fell auf Polstern fehlt die Mini-Motorbürste im Karton.
Pros
- Reinigt Laminat und Fliesen samt Fugen gründlich, 99 von 100 g Schmutz aufgenommen
- Wechselakku mit 3000 mAh, 18 bis 40 min mit Bodendüse
- Lange Haare wickeln sich kaum um die Anti-Tangle-Walze
- Handteil mit 1,47 kg, liegt flach unter Sofa und Bett
- Akku lädt auch ausgebaut an eigener Ladebuchse
- LED-Licht an der Bodendüse zeigt Krümel im Schatten
Cons
- Hochflor erst nach zwei bis drei Durchgängen auf höchster Stufe sauber
- Mini-Motorbürste für Polster und Tierhaare fehlt im Lieferumfang
- Ladestand nur über drei Leuchten, keine Prozentanzeige
- Als Handsauger kopflastig, Handgelenk ermüdet nach einigen Minuten
- Laden dauert 3 bis 4 Stunden
