If you, like us, dream of a pool free of leaves and debris and ready for a swim at a moment’s notice, then we have some exciting news for you. While pool robot cleaners have become popular, saving pool owners time and the hassle of keeping their pool clean, the next generation of pool robots are tangle free. Are the new cordless robotic pool cleaners worth it? Here’s our latest pool robot cleaner review. Let’s take a deep dive into the latest in pool maintenance technology: the Genkinno P1, a state-of-the-art cordless battery-powered robotic pool cleaner.
Unboxing the Genkinno P1
Upon receiving your brand new Genkinno P1 pool robot cleaner, the first thing you’ll notice is its smooth design and simplicity. And no long power cable! Within the box, you’ll find the robot cleaner itself, a power supply for charging the battery, and a handy remote control for those who enjoy a bit of hands-on control of their pool cleaner.
The machine itself is small, lightweight and aerodynamic in design. You can easily balance the cleaner on the palm of one hand. In comparison, the Maytronics Dolphin M600 or Active X6 and Astral/Zodiac EvoluX or Duo-X robotic pool cleaners are like big off-road, 4-wheel drive vehicles. They are powerful, vacuum the floor, can climb the walls and scrub the waterline, but they need a long cable and an external power supply. They are bigger and bulkier, have more powerful motors and bigger filter baskets. But they are also heavy. In comparison, the Genkinno P1 is much lighter and opts for simpler hovering of the pool floor which requires far less grunt and hence it’s more like a small electric car with its own power supply on-board. It has a sturdy cord and float that trails behind the cleaner that allows you to pull the machine to the side of the pool to retrieve it once it’s done cleaning.
Charging Your Genkinno P1
To power up the pool cleaner, it’s as simple as connecting the power supply to a power outlet and attaching it to the robot. The rechargeable battery provides an impressive 2-4 hours of cleaning time off a single charge, depending on the size of the pool and how dirty it is.
No More Tangled Cables!
The Genkinno P1 is one of the new wave cordless cleaners sweeping (or should I say, vacuuming?) the market. If you’re tired of dealing with tangled cables, this is a welcome feature. The freedom of cordless operation means it’s simple to put in or pull out of the pool and no more ugly cables stretching across your pool deck. It’s like going from a corded telephone to a smartphone.
Control at Your Fingertips
For those who enjoy being in control, the Genkinno P1 comes with a remote. This means you can drive it to those pesky areas that need a bit of extra attention. It’s like driving a remote control car, or submarine, except this one leaves your pool spotless.
Powerful Suction System
Seeing the Genkinno P1 in action is truly a sight to behold. Its powerful suction system handles leaves, twigs, and other small items with relative ease. Mechanically it’s very simple – a motor which sucks in water and debris and then uses the water to jet propel it around the pool. It might not seem like it’s picking up much, but just wait until you pull the cleaner out at the end of a cycle and check the filter basket.
Compact Filter Basket
To keep the cleaner compact, the filter basket has been designed to be small. But, since you’ll be removing the cleaner from the pool after each cleaning cycle to recharge, this is a reasonable trade-off. Besides, the ease of removing and cleaning the filter outweighs any initial size concerns.
Smart Shutdown
When it’s done with its cleaning duty, the pool cleaner cleverly comes to the side of the pool and shuts off automatically. This means it’s ready for you to pluck out and recharge. The smart shutdown, combined with the cordless design, makes this little machine a tremendous time-saver.
Our Verdict
Overall, I’m genuinely impressed with the Genkinno P1 cordless robotic pool cleaner. It’s easy to use, efficient, and does an exceptional job of cleaning the pool for such a small machine. Think of it as a Roomba, but for your pool.If you’re interested in seeing this little dynamo in action, we highly recommend checking out our video review.
