Medion E32 SW Review: Entry-Level Robot Vacuum
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about MEDION E32 SW

  • Excellent suction, particularly effective on pet hair.
  • Practical two-in-one function for vacuuming and mopping floors, especially useful on tiles.
  • Easy setup and operation, appreciated by users who prefer a physical remote over a complex smartphone app.
  • Safe navigation and effective obstacle detection; the robot slows before contacting furniture.
  • Excellent battery life of up to 120 minutes.

What customers don't like about MEDION E32 SW

  • Performance can be limited on thick carpets or rugs.
  • Basic navigation may miss corners and lacks intelligent mapping.
  • Slightly noisy while vacuuming.
  • Some users find relying on the remote’s manual controls frustrating.

Verdict

The MEDION E32 SW (MD 18503) is a budget-friendly 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop featuring a compact design measuring 30 cm in diameter, 8 cm in height, and weighing 2.1 kg. It operates at 38 watts with a 65 dB noise level, utilizes an EPA particle filter to trap allergens, and includes a 0.3-liter bagless dust container alongside an interchangeable water tank for wet wiping. Its primary advantages are an impressive Li-ion battery runtime of up to 120 minutes per charge, a 2 cm door sill climbing capability, multiple preset cleaning modes, and straightforward, app-free operation managed via an included remote control, making it highly accessible for non-tech-savvy users and seniors. However, its main drawbacks include a lack of advanced smart mapping or customizable app software, occasional inefficient navigation paths, and reduced suction performance when cleaning plush or thick carpets compared to hard flooring.
