Verdict

Pros & cons

Der MOVA Diver R10 ist ein schlichter Akku-Roboter, der nur flache Beckenböden absaugt. Für kleine Aufstellpools mit Sand und wenig Laub reichen 3,4 kg Gewicht, Ein-Tasten-Bedienung und bis zu 120 min Laufzeit. Der Haken: Die Zufallsfahrt lässt Ecken aus, und zum Rand fährt er erst bei fast leerem Akku.

Pros

  • Mit 3,4 kg einhändig aus dem Becken zu heben
  • Kabellos mit bis zu 120 min Laufzeit pro Ladung
  • Bedienung per einziger Taste, ohne App und Konto
  • Zwei Motoren und zwei Bürsten lösen Sand und Belag am Boden
  • Parkt bei fast leerem Akku selbst am Beckenrand
  • Kompakte 30,2 x 27,4 x 18,1 cm, braucht kaum Lagerplatz

Cons

  • Zufallsnavigation lässt Ecken und Kehle zur Wand oft aus
  • Vorzeitiges Zurückholen an den Rand nicht möglich, sonst nur per Haken
  • Filterkorb mit 1,7 l unter Bäumen schnell voll
  • Kein Zeitplan, jeder Lauf muss von Hand gestartet werden
  • Nachladen dauert 210 min

Der Zodiac Vortex OV 5300 ist ein Kabelroboter mit Allrad, der Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie ordentlich, aber nicht lückenlos reinigt. Auf Schrägen und Stufen kommt er weit hinauf, der 5-l-Filterkorb ist schnell geleert. Ecken musst du nacharbeiten, Komfort wie Zeitplan oder Lift fehlt, und der eigentliche Haken sind Ausfälle rund ums Garantieende.

Pros

  • Allradantrieb kommt über Schrägen, Stufen und strukturierte Böden
  • Reinigt Boden, Wände und Wasserlinie in 150 min
  • Filterkorb mit 5 l, ohne Werkzeug ausgespült
  • Filtereinsätze mit 60, 100 oder 200 µm je nach Schmutz
  • Filter-voll-Anzeige an der Steuerbox
  • Transportwagen mit Halterung für Kabel und Box inklusive

Cons

  • Mehrere Ausfälle nach Monaten oder kurz nach Ende der Garantie
  • In Ecken bleibt Schmutz liegen
  • Kabel verdreht sich trotz Drehgelenk, Roboter erreicht Beckenende nicht
  • Kein Zeitplan, keine Fernbedienung, keine Liftfunktion an der Standardbox
  • Bergen von rund 10 kg ohne Lift oft nur mit Haken
