"A budget floor-sweeper that prioritizes a low price over smart navigation or wall-climbing."
The '200 minutes of continuous runtime' translates to a long, slow, random patrol of your pool floor, not a high-power deep clean that would drain the battery much faster.
This is for owners of smaller, flat-bottomed pools who primarily want to automate the collection of leaves and visible debris. It's a low-cost alternative to manual vacuuming for those with modest expectations and no need for wall cleaning.
Anyone with an inground pool that has significant slopes, complex shapes, or a vinyl liner prone to wrinkles should skip this. Users who need pollen, sand, or algae removed will require a unit with better filtration and systematic navigation.
