K Pro 150
2 independent reviewsRead the findings →The top of iGarden's cordless pool robot range, built around a very big battery. It suits pools where it can sit on a timer for days. It's heavy, the controls confuse and you fish it out with a hook.

What reviewers found
For PCWorld and AndroidGuys, the battery is the whole point. PCWorld measured about 10 hours on a full floor, wall and waterline clean, beating iGarden's own 8.5-hour claim, and both rate the cleaning well. They agree the controls and app are clumsy, that water gets into the charging port and that it's heavy to lift out. Charging is where they differ: PCWorld quotes up to nine hours, AndroidGuys about four and a half. Neither test ran longer than a season.
PCWorld, hands-on, Oct 2025 · AndroidGuys, hands-on, Sept 2025
Floor, wall and waterline
Reviewers rate it highlyPCWorld rated it a much better cleaner than iGarden's older K60, clearing all its test debris given a long run. AndroidGuys found the cleaning consistently strong and the waterline noticeably tidier after runs.
Debris
Reviewers rate it highlyPCWorld saw it collect nearly all its test leaves in three hours and the lot after about six, including some stuck in a corner. AndroidGuys found it handled fine sand, leaves and algae.
Coverage and navigation
Mixed resultsGiven time it reaches everything on a flat floor, and PCWorld saw it clear debris from a corner. AndroidGuys found it follows a tidy S-shaped route and climbs single steps, but its step handling is limited, so multi-step pools are harder work.
Battery and charging
Mixed resultsRun time is the reason to buy it: PCWorld measured about 10 hours on a full clean, and AndroidGuys says you can leave it in on a timer for weeks. But both found water getting past the charging-port plug, and a full charge can take up to nine hours.
Filter and retrieval
Mixed resultsIt can't come to you, so you always hook it out, and AndroidGuys found the 11kg robot a workout to lift once waterlogged. They split on the filter: PCWorld found its chambers fiddly, AndroidGuys found it quick to rinse.
Pool types it suits
Not enough evidenceOnly AndroidGuys commented, noting some scuffing on rougher pool finishes and that multi-step pools are harder work. Both tests were in in-ground pools.
Reliability and support
Not enough evidenceNeither test ran longer than a season. Both saw water in the charging port, and AndroidGuys calls long-term durability a question mark, though PCWorld had no ill effects during testing.
Value
Mixed resultsBoth call it expensive. PCWorld finds the price outlandish even with a discount; AndroidGuys can live with the discounted price if you value weeks of hands-off cleaning, but not at full price.
Verdicts come from independent, hands-on, finished reviews. An area needs at least two of them before we say more than “Not enough evidence”. We don't score robots ourselves. How this works
The battery outlasts every rival tested
PCWorld got a full 10 hours in floor, walls and waterline mode, and just under 14 hours floor-only, against iGarden's claims of 8.5 and 15 hours. Its reviewer says a bit over six hours was the best he'd seen from other robots. AndroidGuys says that means you can set a repeating timer and leave it in the pool for weeks. Turbo speeds things up but, per PCWorld, eats 10 to 40 per cent of the battery.
Cleans well, given a few hours
In PCWorld's synthetic-leaf test it picked up 90 per cent of the debris in 90 minutes, 98 per cent in three hours and the lot after about six, including debris stuck in a corner. The tester rated it a much better cleaner than the older K60. AndroidGuys found it handled fine sand, leaves and algae, and the waterline was noticeably tidier. It also noticed some scuffing on rougher pool finishes and limited step handling, so multi-step pools are harder work.
Confusing controls, basic app
PCWorld calls the touchscreen control panel arcane and says you'll want the manual handy for a while. The app is no better, and its battery meter only shows low, medium or high. AndroidGuys found the touchscreen awkward with wet hands or in bright sun, and the app sparse, with no map or cleaning history. Per PCWorld, the app only connects over Bluetooth when the robot is out of the water.
Heavy, and you hook it out
PCWorld says there's no way for it to bring itself to the waterline, so you always fetch it with the supplied hook and a pool pole. AndroidGuys found it a workout to lift once waterlogged, and its dark shell hard to spot on the pool floor in the evening. iGarden now says it parks near the edge on low battery, which neither test mentions. The filter basket has several chambers that PCWorld found fiddly to clean, though AndroidGuys found it quick to rinse.
Water in the charging port
Both testers found water getting past the rubber plug. PCWorld found a significant amount in the port after every run, gave up drying it and charged it anyway, with no ill effects during the test. AndroidGuys saw water lingering around the pins and calls long-term durability a question mark. Charging time is disputed: PCWorld and iGarden say up to nine hours, AndroidGuys about four and a half.
Our take
Should you buy the K Pro 150?
Best for: Pools whose owners want several scheduled cleans between charges. Skip it if: You would struggle to lift a heavy robot out of the water.
buy it if you want a robot that sits in the pool for a week or more on a timer and you can lift a heavy machine out with a hook. If you would rather run a robot and collect it the same day, the MOVA Diver A10 or Aiper Scuba X1 does that with less weight.
The K Pro 150 is the top of iGarden's K Pro series of cordless pool robots. It shares the K Pro 100's body, filter and cleaning modes but gets a much bigger battery, which iGarden says lasts up to 15 hours on the floor alone. A timer can repeat short runs every one, two or three days, so it can stay in the pool for days between charges. It weighs about eleven kilos dry and you fish it out with a hook.
The battery is why both testers rate it. PCWorld measured about ten hours on a full floor, walls and waterline clean, beating iGarden's own claim, and found it a much better cleaner than the older K60, clearing all its test leaves given a long enough run. AndroidGuys found the cleaning consistently strong, the waterline noticeably tidier and the timer good enough to leave it in for weeks. Both found the touchscreen confusing and the app basic, both saw water getting past the charging-port plug, and AndroidGuys calls long-term durability a question mark. AndroidGuys found it a workout to lift once waterlogged. They disagree on charging time, with PCWorld quoting up to nine hours and AndroidGuys about half that. PCWorld calls the price outlandish, and AndroidGuys can only live with it discounted.
Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Is it cordless, and how long does a charge last?
Yes. iGarden claims up to 15 hours floor-only and 8.5 hours for a full clean, per the specifications. PCWorld measured about 10 hours on a full clean and just under 14 floor-only. Charging takes up to nine hours, per the specifications, so charge it overnight.
Does it climb walls and clean the waterline?
Yes. It has a full-coverage mode and a walls-and-waterline mode, per the specifications. AndroidGuys found the waterline noticeably tidier after runs, and PCWorld tested it in its floor, walls and waterline mode throughout.
How do I get it out of the water?
With the supplied hook and a pool pole. PCWorld says it can't lift itself to the waterline for you, and AndroidGuys found it heavy once full of water. It weighs about 11kg (24.3lb) dry, per the specifications.
Can I leave it in the pool for days?
That's what it's built for. A timer repeats runs every 24, 48 or 72 hours, per the specifications. PCWorld reckons you'd get about five two-hour runs per charge, or roughly 10 days of cleaning every other day, as long as the basket doesn't fill first.
How do I clean the filter?
Lift out the 4-litre basket and hose it down, per the specifications. PCWorld found its several chambers awkward, a bit more work than on other robots. AndroidGuys found it quick to rinse.
Will it work in an above-ground pool?
iGarden says it suits in-ground and above-ground pools up to 10 × 18m in concrete, vinyl, fibreglass, tile or steel, per the specifications. It needs water at least 1m deep, which rules out very shallow pools. Both tests were in in-ground pools.
Alternatives
Other robotic pool cleaners to compare.
Diver A10
Why consider it: A tracked cordless robot with a long claimed battery life that testers found cleans the floor, walls and waterline thoroughly.
The compromise: Shallow ledges and steps can trip it up, and recharging takes around five hours.
Scuba X1
Why consider it: A tested cordless all-rounder with a charging dock that testers agree is good on floors and fine dirt.
The compromise: Testers disagree on how much bigger debris it leaves, and its fine filter is a chore to clean.
K70
Why consider it: The same maker's K Series robot with a touchscreen and a shorter claimed runtime of up to seven hours.
The compromise: Nobody has tested it independently yet.
