There are very few cordless robotic pool cleaner options out there and I think I have tested all of them to date. The SMOROBOT is unique in that the developers have taken a crowdfunding approach. If you are interested in getting the early release of this cleaner they have a Kickstarter campaign that runs until April 29th, 2022.
I received a production model that was hand made for my testing (you will see some evidence of this in the silicone on the front of the cleaner as well as a few minor things like the included hook to retrieve the cleaner not fitting my pool pole, and the debris basket missing two top sections). It is to be expected in any prototype of a product. The programming has also been updated for the production model and will run more smoothly. The factory model should of course be a more complete a refined model.
My first impression of the cleaner is that it works as advertised even as a prototype. It is 100% cordless. The 3.5 hours run time is pretty accurate. The advanced cleaning pattern at least the protype programming worked really well. The powerful suction of this cleaner is also very true. It has zero problems picking up dirt and debris. They state that the cleaner has a 188W Suction Power from the water pumps and 300W instantaneous maximum power from battery output. Not sure what that means in layman's terms but the suction is pretty amazing for a cordless battery-operated cleaner.
Here is more from the manufacturer:
SMOROBOT has developed a unique motion-control system combined with intelligent path planning technology to clean the entire pool from edge to edge, including the walls and waterline.
What's even more impressive is that SMOROBOT is entirely cordless, with a powerful battery that runs for 3.5 hours on a single charge, SMOROBOT is a set & forget robotic helper.
Using its unique intelligent navigation technology, SMOROBOT brushes and sucks up dirt from bottom to wall to waterline, and intensely cleans every inch of the walls. Other pool cleaners cannot thoroughly remove stubborn dust and dirt from walls, because they cannot continuously work on the walls, and often drift down from waterline to bottom. SMOROBOT’s Intelligent Path Planning precisely measures your pool dimensions, then uses advanced algorithms to map the most efficient and effective cleaning route possible.
Without scientific Path Planning, no matter how excellent the cleaning ability of the robot is, it only cleans randomly and never completely cleans the swimming pool which is inefficient and time-consuming.
Even on smooth surfaces, SMOROBOT climbs 90-degree angles with ease due to its unique combination of suction and tank wheels.
Our Robot can clean and climb up all kinds of materials of your swimming pools, including Pebble, Plaster, Concrete, Paint, Tiles, Gunite, Vinyl Line, PVC, etc., and will not wear or damage the inside material of your pool.
SMOROBOT’s patented software and hardware design, combined with advanced battery technology, delivers 100% cordless performance without sacrificing power, for a safer, more convenient way to keep your pool sparkling clean.
SMOROBOT Tank X series have 2 Models for your choice: X11 and X10. The main differences between them are: X10 is a standard model which cleans the floor only, while X11 can clean the floor, walls, and waterline; However, both X10 and X11 support Intelligent Path Planning. In addition, the battery capacity of X11 is higher than X10, so X11 will have a longer working time and a larger single cleaning area.
