The catch
After the two-year warranty expires, the proprietary 96Wh battery will likely be difficult and expensive to replace, turning the unit into a disposable item.

Spec, translated

The 'Triple-Motor' design is standard industry architecture for a robotic cleaner with independent drive wheels and a suction pump; it is not a unique power advantage.

Lab notes
The observations that actually change the buying decision.
01
The 96Wh battery is a respectable size, defining the real-world 90-100 minute runtime for a full clean. The 180-minute claim is for a limited 'Eco' mode.
02
Wall climbing is achieved via impeller thrust, meaning performance will inherently degrade as the filter basket fills with debris and restricts water flow.
03
App control is for pre-setting cleaning cycles on shore. Like most pool bots, it cannot be controlled in real-time once submerged as radio waves don't penetrate water.
04
The 2-year warranty is a significant value add, offering more peace of mind than the 1-year standard from many competitors, especially for a lesser-known brand.

Why you should buy

This is for the pool owner prioritizing cordless convenience and modern features like wall-climbing and app control, but at a budget typically reserved for floor-only models. The 2-year warranty may be enough to offset the risk of buying from a non-established brand.

Why you should skip

Buyers who value a proven track record, long-term parts availability, and robust G-force-based mapping should stick with established brands. Anyone with complex pool steps will be disappointed, as the unit itself admits it cannot clean them effectively.
