Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Lefant M3 ist ein Saug-Wisch-Roboter mit LiDAR-Navigation und einer Station, die absaugt, die Mopps warm wäscht und trocknet. Damit nimmt er dir fast die ganze Pflege ab und reinigt aufgeräumte Hartböden zuverlässig. Der Haken: Ohne Kamera und Bumper übersieht er Kabel und flache Gegenstände, an angetrockneten Flecken scheitert er oft.
Pros
- Station saugt Staub ab, wäscht Mopps mit bis zu 45 °C und trocknet sie
- Zuverlässige LiDAR-Navigation mit bis zu 3 speicherbaren Etagenkarten
- Mopps heben sich auf Teppich automatisch um rund 9 mm an
- Kaum Haarverwicklungen dank Anti-Verhedderungs-Bürste
- Rund 120 m² am Stück, setzt nach dem Laden an der letzten Stelle fort
- Großzügiger Lieferumfang mit Ersatzmopps, Ersatzfilter und zweitem Staubbeutel
Cons
- Ohne Kamera und Bumper werden Kabel und Objekte unter etwa 4 cm übersehen
- Eingetrocknete Kakao- und Kaffeeflecken bleiben auch nach zwei Durchgängen sichtbar
- Kein Wassertank im Roboter, Mopps anfangs sehr nass und später eher trocken
- Absaugung laut, Sprachausgabe des Roboters nur auf Englisch
- Käufer melden verlorene Karten, Abpumpfehler der Station und WLAN-Aussetzer
Der Narwal Freo 20 ist ein Wischroboter, der auch saugt: Seine Walze nimmt Kaffee, Tee und Fußspuren streifenfrei in einem Durchgang auf, und die Station wäscht sie mit bis zu 100 °C. Für Wohnungen mit viel Hartboden auf einer Ebene taugt er sehr gut. Der Haken: Feinstaub und Sand bleiben im Teppich, Ecken werden nicht ganz sauber, und an Stufen arbeitet er unsicher.
Pros
- Wischwalze entfernt Kaffee und Tee in einer Überfahrt ohne Schlieren
- Station wäscht die Walze mit bis zu 100 °C und trocknet mit Warmluft
- Auf Hartboden blieben von 50 g Testschmutz nur 6 g liegen
- Haare bis 30 cm ohne Verheddern an der Seitenbürste aufgenommen
- Mit 9,5 cm Bauhöhe passt er unter Betten und niedrige Sideboards
- Wich 23 von 24 Hindernissen aus, etwa Kabel, Schuhe und Socken
Cons
- Auf Teppich bleiben Feinstaub und Sand liegen, bei Sand nur 70 % Aufnahme
- Stürzte in einem Test trotz Absturzsensoren eine Stufe hinunter
- Starre Seitenbürste lässt Krümel in Ecken liegen und schleudert Katzenstreu
- Teppiche nach Kartierung standardmäßig vom Saugen ausgeschlossen, versteckt in der App
- Kleinteile wie Stifte und Bausteine erkennt die Kamera oft nicht
