Medion X50 SW Review: A Clean Bargain?
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What customers like about MEDION X50 SW Laser Navigator

  • High suction power (up to 8000 Pa) effectively handles pet hair and deep cleaning.
  • Convenient automatic emptying station reduces maintenance frequency.
  • Accurate laser navigation and mapping allow for efficient cleaning routes.
  • Good app and voice control functionality (Alexa/Google Assistant).
  • Versatile cleaning with included combination and silicone brushes.

What customers don't like about MEDION X50 SW Laser Navigator

  • Some users reported frequent, recurring 'rolling brush errors' after several months.
  • Customer service response times and repair processes can be slow.
  • App stability has been reported as an issue by some users.
  • The vacuum can sometimes struggle with cleaning under certain curtains or low furniture.

Verdict

The MEDION X50 SW Laser Navigator is a 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop featuring an impressive 8,000 Pa suction power, 360-degree laser mapping, and an active obstacle detection system that bypasses objects from 2 cm in height. Main characteristics and pros include its ultra-slim 8.5 cm profile that fits easily under low furniture, an automatic self-emptying station with a 2.5-litre dust bag, automatic carpet detection with a boost mode, an H13 allergen filter, and a runtime of up to 200 minutes from its 5,200 mAh battery. However, cons include subpar performance on thick carpets despite the high suction rating, the lack of a vibrating or scrubbing mopping mechanism for stubborn stains, and sporadic software or mapping bugs reported by users within the app control system.
