The differences that matter
- Runtime of 240 against 180 minutes → an hour more per cycle for the Dreame Z1.
- Weight of 11.8 against 7.98 kg → the WYBOT C2 is easier to lift at the pool edge.
- Filtration at 180 against 10 µm → the WYBOT C2 retains much finer particles.
- Pool area of 180 against 200 m² → a small margin, relevant only for pools close to the limit.
