Zaco A10

A clear yes to this vacuuming and mopping robot with Wi-Fi from Zaco. It is quickly set up and ready to use. Thanks to its 360-degree navigation, it finds its way around the room very well. It does its job almost silently and precisely.

Robot vacuum cleaners and robot vacuum wipers are supposed to do the basic cleaning. The Stiftung Warentest test shows: Only a few robots are convincing. But at least eight are good. Tough tests in the test lab What the robots can do is shown in the test lab: the vacuuming robots and vacuum-mopping robots in the test have to clean carpets and hard floors on a test bench...

Like Ecovacs, Zaco has given its cleaning aid an extra wiping module. In the test, however, the pulsating floor plate was less spirited than the test winner - and despite carpet detection, it sometimes scrubbed the carpet without a care in the world. Vacuuming was more reliable.

The Zaco A10 scores with an excellent navigation system, but it cannot vacuum and mop at the same time. But since it works flawlessly, that's something to get over. App messages should be there, though.

Downloading and configuring the app works well and we can start the first suction round. For safe orientation, the robot is equipped with 360° laser navigation. Various sensors prevent it from colliding with obstacles or falling down heels. The change from smooth floor to flat and also high-pile carpet succeeds; there it vacuums with maximum force, as we have defined the carpet zone beforehand...

All cleaning robots in the test navigate unerringly and quickly through the rooms - laser technology and app control included. The test winner Roborock collects a lot of dirt and shines with its powerful wiping function. The cleaning experience of the competition is less rounded, because the devices are slightly weaker either when vacuuming (Zaco) or when mopping (Ecovacs).
