Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Rowenta X-Pert 6.60 Essential ist ein leichter, gut reparierbarer Einstiegssauger, der nur in kleinen Wohnungen mit Hartboden überzeugt. Auf Teppich fehlt dem 100-W-Motor die Kraft, mit Bodendüse ist laut Hersteller nach höchstens 27 min Schluss, und der schrille Ton bei 85 dB nervt. Wenn du kurz und oft saugst, kommst du zurecht – für große Flächen ist er schlicht zu schwach.
Pros
- Leicht mit 2,4 kg als Stielsauger und 1,4 kg als Handsauger
- Ein-Aus-Taste statt Dauerdrücken, Bedienung mit nur Taste und Abzug
- Steht dank Stop-&-Go-Parkposition frei, ohne Wand oder Station
- Wechselakku und Ersatzteile laut Tests 15 Jahre verfügbar
- Behälter, Schaumfilter und Zyklon ohne Werkzeug abnehmbar und waschbar
- Bodendüse mit LED-Licht macht Staub unter Möbeln sichtbar
Cons
- Schwache Saugkraft auf Teppich, Kaffeesatz blieb in Tests liegen
- Laut mit 85 dB und schrillem, hohem Ton
- Höchstens 27 min mit Bodendüse, danach 240 min Ladezeit
- Starres 70-cm-Rohr zwingt große Menschen in gebückte Haltung
- Haare wickeln sich mangels Schutz schnell um die Walze
Der Shark Freestyle Max ist ein reiner Bodensauger mit klaren Grenzen: Er steht allein, wiegt rund 3 kg und lässt sich komplett per Fuß bedienen. Auf Hartboden saugt er gründlich, doch der fest verbaute Akku ist auf Teppich nach 11 bis 14 min leer. Ohne Zubehör, HEPA-Filter und Haarschutz passt er nur in kleine Wohnungen mit Hartboden und ist für Allergiker und Tierhalter ungeeignet.
Pros
- Steht allein, ohne Anlehnen oder Wandhalterung
- Komplett per Fußtaste bedienbar, auch das Laden ohne Bücken
- Rund 3 kg leicht und auch auf Teppich mühelos zu schieben
- In Tests 98,8 von 100 g Schmutz von Laminat aufgenommen
- Behälter mit 0,69 l per Bodenklappe ohne Staubkontakt leeren
- LED-Licht an der Düse zeigt feine Krümel
Cons
- Auf Teppich nur 11 bis 14 min Laufzeit, danach rund 3 h Ladezeit
- Akku fest verbaut und nicht als Ersatzteil gelistet
- Kein Handsauger und keine Düsen für Polster, Treppen oder Fugen
- Kein HEPA-Filter, im Nebeltest trat Luft an mehreren Stellen aus
- Lange Haare und Tierhaare wickeln sich um die Bürstenrolle
