The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the store we read it from.
Medion · on the market since October 2025
Consumables: a 2.5 l dust bag in the station.
Dimensionsrobot and dock

Suction and brushes 5 facts
- Suction power
Among the models we track
5,000 Pa on this model
Lowest
600 Pa Highest
42,000 Pa Middle
6,000 PaLower than 515 of the 900 models we track.
When it matters
- Deep-pile carpet and rugs, where dust sinks in.
- Pet hair, sand and crumbs trodden into fibers.
- On hard floors the gain from a higher figure is small: the dust lies on top.
Source: medion.com · checked on Oct 7
Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.
- 5,000 Pa
- Anti-tangle brush
When it matters
- Long hair and pet hair, which wrap around a bristle brush.
- Homes where you would rather not cut hair off the brush.
- Short hair and few pets hardly tangle anyway.

A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
- no (assumed)
- Extending side brush
When it matters
- Corners and edges along baseboards, where a round robot leaves a strip of dust.
- Rooms with many walls and furniture edges.
- In open rooms with few corners it adds little.
Source: medion.com · checked on Oct 10
The side brush swings out in a corner or along a baseboard, so the dust there is swept in too. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
- no (assumed)
- Carpet detection
When it matters
- Rugs and carpets, where the robot should raise its suction.
- Mopping in a home with rugs, which have to stay dry.
- Without carpets or rugs it has nothing to detect.
Source: medion.com · checked on Oct 7
The robot notices when it drives onto a carpet. Most then raise their suction, and a mopping robot lifts its mop or leaves it at the dock.
- detects carpet and boosts suction
- Filter type
When it matters
- Dust allergy or asthma, where the exhaust should not blow fine dust back into the room.
- Pets, whose dander floats in the air.
- Without allergies a simple filter catches what you can see.
Source: medion.com · checked on Oct 7
The filter the exhaust air passes through. A HEPA filter holds back fine dust and pollen, which counts if someone at home has an allergy.
- HEPA
Mopping 4 facts
- Mop type
When it matters
- Homes with a lot of hard floor that you want mopped, not just wiped.
- Dried-on dirt in a kitchen, which spinning pads or a roller scrub off better than a dragged cloth.
- If you only vacuum, the mop’s build decides nothing.
Source: medion.com · checked on Oct 7
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- flat or vibrating pad
- Mop extends to the edges
When it matters
- Kitchens and hallways where dirt gathers along the baseboard.
- Homes with many corners and table legs.
- In open rooms the strip it leaves along the wall is small.
Source: medion.com · checked on Oct 10
The pad slides out along a wall or a baseboard, so the last few inches are mopped as well. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
- no (assumed)
- Automatic mop detach
When it matters
- Homes with carpets or rugs that should stay dry.
- High-pile rugs that no mop lift clears.
- Without carpets the mop can stay on.

- Water tank in the robot
When it matters
- Large hard floors mopped in one go.
- A robot whose dock does not refill it during a run.
- With a dock that refills the robot during the run, the tank’s size hardly matters.

Dock 4 facts
- Empties the dust bin
When it matters
- Pets, sand or a large home, which fill the bin every run.
- Dust allergy, since you rarely touch the dust yourself.
- In a small home with little dust, emptying the bin by hand takes a moment.
Source: medion.com · checked on Oct 7

- yes
- Bagless
When it matters
- Not wanting to buy bags again and again.
- Pets, whose hair fills a bag quickly.
- With a dust allergy a sealed bag keeps the dust in when you throw it away, so bagless is no gain.

- Cleaning in the dark, which lidar does and a camera alone does not.

- Thick rugs and raised doorsteps between rooms.
