An early tester used it for several weeks in a kidney-shaped pebble pool surrounded by oaks. It collected leaves, acorns and sticks and recovered from two troublesome floor drains. Two- or three-hour sessions were sufficient there. This gives the positive report a useful pool context without establishing identical results around every drain.

Les Numériques found organised floor coverage and successful access to some steps and shallow platforms in Standard mode. Waterline contact was less convincing: the robot sometimes descended before properly scrubbing. The early tester was happier with waterline cleaning, so it is a point of disagreement rather than a universal strength.

The early tester found the supplied basket easy to rinse but too coarse for dust, pollen and dead algae. The later Les Numériques review confirms an optional finer basket, rather than assuming one comes with every package. This distinction matters more for a persistent dusty coating than for visible garden debris.

Les Numériques liked automatic surfacing, draining and easy basket access. It found the app straightforward but unable to communicate underwater; the robot also failed to recognise its test obstacle. The practical convenience is easier collection after a run, while toys still need clearing and a phone cannot direct it continuously underwater.

The early account came from a tester whose purchase or sample arrangement was not established. Neither that report nor a short independent review establishes multi-season battery health. The sources support useful daily cleaning and handling, without supporting a typical lifespan.
