NaTiddy - The Fastest Robotic Pool Cleaner in the West!

To say this robotic pool cleaner moves fast is an understatement. I received this test model and put it in my pool, I thought there is a short circuit somewhere and the motor was getting too much power, because this thing ran across the pool floor. I really can’t think of any cleaner that I have tested that moved this fast. 




You can order it here for under $600.00: https://poolcleaner.natiddy.com/

It features some great horizontal wall climbing reminding me of the older Aquabot Models that unfortunately have been discontinued. I like the horizontal wall climbing as it is an effective way for the cleaner to get from one area of the pool to another without having to drop to the floor. The timer also reminds me of the old Aquabots with the 2-hour or 5-hour runtime. It can also be set to floors only which is a great way to quickly spot clean a pool. 

The cleaner bottom has some cool features. There are water jets on the bottom that activate, I assume on a timer of sorts and these jets will lift the cleaner off the floor so the possibility of this thing getting stuck on the main drain won’t happen. It also has 3 extra rollers to help move it along the pool bottom and walls and the rollers are a pretty cool combination of runner and PVA material. Something I have not seen before tried in a robotic cleaner.

It comes with 56 ft of cord, no idea why such an odd cord length but with that much cord you can use this in a large pool without issue. The test model I was sent had the cord pretty tightly packaged and that kind of gave it a memory. Still trying to straighten it out after running this thing about 8 times now in my test pool. I suggested that they coil it in a circle instead when they ship the actual units out. 

It features a 90-degree wall climbing ability and can pump 4,756 gallons per hour. The filters are rated down to 5 microns so almost as good as a DE filter. The combination of rubber and PVA brushes are unique to the industry and a lot or R&D went into this cleaner. 

The belts on these generic cleaners have been the biggest issue and fail point. The belt drive that they use on the NaTiddy look almost automobile quality. Like the belts you would find on the fan drive in a car. Extremely thick material and I would imagine that the belts will be very long-lasting.
For an MSRP of $600 this cleaner packs a lot of great features.
