  • Cleaning Performance-1 pts

    It will "cover the entire pool while minimizing cleaning time by following an intelligent path" – if by "intelligent path" they mean "getting stuck in the same corner for 45 minutes" or "developing an unhealthy attachment to your pool steps."

    In this mode, it actually moves in an S-ike pattern along the floor. And it does it in a really good way to get a lot of coverage.

    Some reviewers say this smart navigation is more like random wandering. It bumps into walls repeatedly and sometimes gets stuck in corners

  • Battery, Charging & Docking-5 pts

    Many users report that the battery barely lasts the promised cleaning cycle. You'll often find it stopping mid clean, leaving parts of your pool untouched.

    The battery life has been huge for me, too. It runs long enough to clean the entire pool in one go

    So, it's been plugged in for over an hour. There's the green light. There's no signs of damage. And as soon as I turn it on, it just Here we go. Nothing.
