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.

Für Haushalte mit gemischten Böden und Haustieren ist er eine starke Wahl. Der Haken: schwer, laut und langsam geladen – mit 3,71 kg, über 90 dB an der Düse und rund 6 h Ladezeit. Dafür bekommst du Wechselakku und viel Zubehör.

  • Motorisierter Tierhaar-Aufsatz und Nachtmodus der Station inklusive

Cons

  • Laut: 72 dB in Eco, an der Düse auf Teppich über 90 dB
  • Rund 6 h Ladezeit, im Boost nur 10 bis 15 min Laufzeit
  • Tannennadeln und große Haarbüschel verstopfen Rohr oder Bürstenwalze
