Third-party reviews

What customers like about MEDION MD19601

  • Affordable price point
  • Simultaneous vacuuming and mopping functions
  • Slim 8 cm design fits easily under low furniture
  • Good suction performance on hard floors
  • Smart app control and voice integration via Alexa and Google Assistant
  • Decent runtime of up to 100 minutes per charge
  • Generous bundle of included replacement accessories

What customers don't like about MEDION MD19601

  • Battery life tends to degrade quickly over a few months of use
  • Water tank material is prone to cracking and breaking
  • Navigation relies on basic sensors rather than precise laser mapping
  • Can be noisy during operation
  • Aggressive navigation that bumps into furniture before turning away
  • Tends to get tangled easily in loose cables

Verdict

The MEDION MD19601 is a 2-in-1 hybrid robot vacuum and mop that measures 32.5 x 32.5 x 8 cm, weighs 2.9 kg, and is equipped with an integrated gyroscope for systematic lane-by-lane navigation. Main characteristics include a 0.5-liter dustbin capacity, dual side brushes paired with a large main roller brush, automated obstacle and cliff detection sensors, and 20 mm door-threshold climbing capabilities. Its core pros are its versatile smartphone app and voice assistant integration (compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant), its ability to vacuum and wipe floors simultaneously, a low 8 cm slim profile that fits easily under furniture, and a respectable 100-minute lithium-ion battery runtime featuring automatic docking and recharging. However, notable cons include occasional pairing and stability lags within its native smartphone application, a long 4.5-hour recharge cycle, and the tendency of hair or debris to easily wrap around and jam the spinning side brushes if not regularly unscrewed and maintained.
