Third-party reviews

What customers like about MEDION X20 SW

  • Strong 5,000 Pa suction power (X22 SW+ model) or reliable 3,000 Pa (X20 SW+) effectively removes dirt
  • Accurate laser navigation allows for smart mapping and efficient cleaning routes
  • Automatic suction station minimizes maintenance by emptying the dustbin automatically
  • Comprehensive app control enables scheduling, no-go zones, and targeted room cleaning
  • Good, consistent mopping performance with adjustable water flow

What customers don't like about MEDION X20 SW

  • Difficulty navigating over higher thresholds, especially in older buildings
  • App functionality for mapping can sometimes be tricky to set up for users
  • Limited to activating/deactivating scrubbing mode rather than selecting individual room schedules
  • Cache memory issues can sometimes prevent the robot from responding to app commands, requiring a restart

Verdict

The MEDION X20 SW is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop featuring an intelligent LiDAR laser navigation system for precision mapping, a variable suction power topping out at 3,000 Pa, and an impressive battery life of up to 150 minutes. Main pros include its self-emptying station featuring a 2.5-litre dust bag capacity, automatic carpet detection with suction boost, dual side brushes for edge cleaning, and versatile app control with Amazon Alexa compatibility. However, potential cons include its structural limitation regarding high door thresholds, a compact 0.25-litre internal dust bin, and a minor operational dependency where user assistance is needed if it encounters dense loose cables.
