Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Levoit LVAC 200 MAX ist ein leichter Stielsauger der Budgetklasse, der Hartboden und Fugen gründlich reinigt und dank 3000-mAh-Wechselakku mit Bodendüse 27 min im mittleren Modus schafft. Lange Haare wickeln sich kaum um die Walze. Der Haken: Hochflor braucht mehrere Durchgänge, und für Fell auf Polstern fehlt die Mini-Motorbürste im Karton.
Pros
- Reinigt Laminat und Fliesen samt Fugen gründlich, 99 von 100 g Schmutz aufgenommen
- Wechselakku mit 3000 mAh, 18 bis 40 min mit Bodendüse
- Lange Haare wickeln sich kaum um die Anti-Tangle-Walze
- Handteil mit 1,47 kg, liegt flach unter Sofa und Bett
- Akku lädt auch ausgebaut an eigener Ladebuchse
- LED-Licht an der Bodendüse zeigt Krümel im Schatten
Cons
- Hochflor erst nach zwei bis drei Durchgängen auf höchster Stufe sauber
- Mini-Motorbürste für Polster und Tierhaare fehlt im Lieferumfang
- Ladestand nur über drei Leuchten, keine Prozentanzeige
- Als Handsauger kopflastig, Handgelenk ermüdet nach einigen Minuten
- Laden dauert 3 bis 4 Stunden
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
