Verdict
Pros & cons
Der ECOVACS X12S OmniCyclone ist ein sehr gründlicher Saug- und Wischroboter mit beutelloser Station, der eingetrocknete Flecken per FocusJet meist im ersten Durchgang löst. Wenn du Haustiere oder lange Haare hast, sparst du dir dank keine Haarwickel an den Bürsten das Nacharbeiten. Der Haken: Schwellen nur bis 2,4 cm, außerdem leert sich der Akku auf großen Flächen schnell. In ebenen Wohnungen mit viel Hartboden spielt er seine Stärken voll aus.
Pros
- Nimmt auf Laminat in Tests 99,24 von 100 g Testmischung auf
- Keine Haarwickel an Haupt- und Seitenbürste, auch bei 1 m langem Kunsthaar
- FocusJet weicht eingetrocknete Ketchup- und Kaffeeflecken gezielt vor
- 27 cm breite Wischwalze reinigt Hartboden schneller als der Vorgänger
- Beutellose Station mit 75 °C Walzenwäsche und bis 70 °C beheizbarem Abwassertank
- Mechanische Kamerablende und Matter-Unterstützung
Cons
- Überwindet laut Hersteller nur Schwellen bis 2,4 cm
- Hoher Akkuverbrauch von 1,64 % pro m², ab 100 m² drohen Ladepausen
- Fuhr sich in einem Test auf Hochflor dreimal fest
- Erste Karte legt Räume falsch zusammen und braucht Nacharbeit
- Sieb der Waschschale und Abstreifer müssen von Hand gereinigt werden
Der Roborock Saros 20 Neo bringt die Reinigung der Saros-Oberklasse in das günstigste Modell der Reihe: Er wischt mit ausschwenkendem Pad bis an die Fußleiste, umfährt Kabel zuverlässig und klettert über hohe Schwellen. Für Wohnungen mit Schwellen und flachen Möbeln ist er ein starker Allrounder. Der Haken liegt beim Komfort: Akku und Kartierung schwächeln, bei großen Flächen dauert die Reinigung deshalb länger.
Pros
- Wischt mit ausschwenkendem Pad bis an die Fußleiste
- Eingetrocknete Flecken spätestens im zweiten Durchgang entfernt
- Kabel und Stuhlbeine in Tests fehlerfrei umfahren
- Mit eingefahrenem Laserturm 7,98 cm flach, passt unter niedrige Möbel
- Keine Haarverwicklungen in Haupt- und Seitenbürste
- Station mit 100 °C Heißwasserwäsche, Warmlufttrocknung und Reinigerdosierung
Cons
- Höchster Akkuverbrauch der Saros-20-Familie, 28 % nach 30 min auf Maximum
- Rund 4 Stunden Ladezeit
- Legte bei der ersten Kartierung getrennte Räume zusammen
- Seitenbürste lässt sich beim Wischen nicht anheben
- Doppelschwellen bis 8,8 cm nur bei 12 bis 14 cm Absatztiefe
