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 Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty ist ein gründlicher Akkusauger mit Absaugstation, der auf Hartboden praktisch nichts liegen lässt und dir das Leeren des Behälters abnimmt. Dank Knickrohr, Sensorsteuerung und wechselbarem Akku passt er gut zu größeren Haushalten, auch mit Tieren oder Allergien. Der Haken: Betriebsbereit wiegt er rund 3,7 kg, und eine volle Ladung dauert etwa 6 h.

Pros

  • Sehr gründlich auf Hartboden, in Tests 99 von 100 g aufgenommen
  • Absaugstation leert den Behälter nach jedem Einsatz und lädt gleichzeitig
  • Knickrohr gleitet ohne Bücken flach unter Sofa und Bett
  • Wechselbarer Akku verlängert die Laufzeit bei großen Flächen
  • Sensoren regeln die Leistung zuverlässig nach Schmutz, Kanten und Teppich
  • Im Nebeltest dichte Filterung, gut für Allergiker

Cons

  • Betriebsbereit rund 3,7 kg schwer, bei längeren Einsätzen ermüdend
  • Rund 6 h Ladezeit für einen leeren Akku
  • Im Boost nur 13 bis 15 min Laufzeit
  • Große Haarmengen blockieren die Bodendüse, lange Haare wickeln sich auf
  • Steht ausgeklappt nicht allein, Stationsfilter verschleißen mit der Zeit
