Third-party reviews

What customers like about MEDION MD 18035

  • Ultra-slim design easily fits beneath furniture, sofas and beds
  • Excellent suction power up to 2,000 Pa captures dust, pet hair and dirt
  • Two-in-one vacuuming and mopping at the same time
  • Systematic parallel S-line navigation provides even room coverage without wandering aimlessly
  • Good battery life up to 120 minutes with automatic return to the charging dock
  • Excellent value for money compared with other robot vacuums

What customers don't like about MEDION MD 18035

  • The water tank is rather small and needs frequent refilling with heavy mopping use
  • No advanced LiDAR mapping, so navigation may struggle in cluttered or unusually shaped rooms
  • Not suitable for long-pile or very thick carpets
  • Lacks advanced smart features such as app-based virtual barriers or voice-assistant control

Verdict

The MEDION Life E35 SW (MD 18035) is a versatile 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop designed primarily for hard floors like tiles, laminate, and parquet. It features a bagless dust container with specialized filtration to trap dust, pollen, and pet hair, combined with a highly compact, slim-profile chassis that allows it to easily navigate underneath low-clearance furniture. Key advantages include automated collision and drop-preventing sensors for safe navigation, alongside an interchangeable water tank and microfibre cloth module for quick cleaning transitions. However, its baseline navigation layout lacks advanced room-mapping capabilities, and it can struggle with deep carpet cleaning or removing stubborn, dried-on floor stains.
