Verdict
Pros & cons
Der ECOVACS Deebot N20 ist ein gründlicher Sauger für Hartboden mit Laser-Navigation und einer Hauptbürste, an der sich keine Haare aufwickeln. Für Tierhalter in aufgeräumten Wohnungen taugt er gut. Der Haken: Kabel und Socken erkennt er nicht, das Wischpad zieht er nur nach und hebt es auf Teppich nicht an. Den kleinen Staubbehälter mit 0,4 l musst du oft von Hand leeren.
Pros
- Sammelt auf Laminat in Tests fast allen Schmutz ein
- Keine Haarwicklungen: 18 cm lange Haare verhedderten sich im Test nicht
- Holte im Test 96 % der Tierhaare aus Teppich
- LiDAR-Karte nach etwa 5 min, ordentliche Bahnen, 3 Etagenkarten
- 190 min Laufzeit im Standardmodus, setzt Reinigung nach dem Laden fort
- Übersichtliche App mit Raumeinstellungen, No-Go-Zonen und Zeitplänen
Cons
- Keine Kamera-Hinderniserkennung, Kabel und Socken bleiben unerkannt
- Wischpad hebt sich auf Teppich nicht an und muss abgenommen werden
- Gezogenes Pad scheitert an angetrockneten Flecken
- Staubbehälter mit 0,4 l füllt sich schnell
- Lange Ladezeit von 390 min, schwach in Ecken
Der iRobot Roomba Plus 416 wischt gründlich bis an die Fußleiste und kommt mit 8,35 cm unter viele Sofas, seine Station braucht nur 33 x 33 cm Stellfläche. Der Haken wiegt schwer: Ohne Kamera fährt er über Kabel und Spielzeug und verheddert sich. Dazu wickeln sich Haare um die Walze, und die Einrichtung im 2,4-GHz-WLAN scheitert öfter. Er taugt deshalb nur für aufgeräumte Hartböden.
Pros
- Rotierende Pads mit 200 U/min lösen auch klebrige Flecken in einem Durchgang
- Ausfahrende Kantenbürste und Wischpad reinigen bis an die Fußleiste
- 8,35 cm Bauhöhe, passt unter viele Sofas und Betten
- Kompakte Station mit 33 x 33 x 48,5 cm, wäscht und trocknet Pads
- Hebt die Pads vor Teppich um 10 mm an, Läufer bleiben trocken
- Speichert bis zu 3 Etagenkarten und setzt nach dem Laden fort
Cons
- Ohne Kamera fährt er über Kabel und schiebt Spielzeug vor sich her
- Lange Haare wickeln sich trotz Anti-Verhedderungs-Bürste fest um die Walze
- Einrichtung nur im 2,4-GHz-WLAN, Kopplung mit der App scheitert öfter
- Kleiner Staubbehälter und schnell verstopfter Filter bei viel Schmutz
- Originale Ersatzteile kurz nach Marktstart kaum erhältlich
