Smartpool NC22 SmartKleen

I f you’re looking for a versatile model, you should consider the SmartKleen. It has the ability to operate on any surface which means that you will get your money’s worth. Above all, you can purchase in confidence due to the fact that it has passed many safety tests, being certified by CE, CSA, and, most important, ETL. These tests guarantee that it is safe to use.

The main advantages of the model are its powerful motor, its ability to efficiently clean the floor and walls, as well as its extra-large filter bag. Of course, the unit is not the most advanced choice on the market, but according to the customers, it won’t disappoint you. If you’re not happy with its functionality, you will be protected by the 6-months full warranty and 1-year on the drive motor and pump motor.

Cleaning Performance

This is a powerful unit that can easily vacuum and brush your swimming pool. The unit is suitable for above ground pools, but it also works in smaller in-ground pools but their surface shouldn’t overcome 14 x 28 x 6 inches. At the same time, the model offers great results on basically any surface, no matter if it’s fiberglass, vinyl liners, or concrete. With the help of this device, you can clean both the floor and the walls of the pool, so you enjoy clean water every time you want to swim. Some of its features are:

• Direct-drive motor – It delivers greater traction and optimal vacuuming performance, which means it’s very efficient when it comes to capturing debris, sand, and dirt
• Intelligent navigation – It can change direction without needing walls or steps, thus being able to cover the entire surface of the pool
• Fast – It only needs 1 to 2.5 hours to clean the pool, but for best results, you should let it work for about 2 hours

In what concerns the brush, it’s powerful enough to remove the unwanted debris and sweep it into the vacuum ports, no matter if it encounters large leaves or small particles. Even though the unit lacks some advanced features, as a programmable timer, a lift system, or a swivel cable, we consider it a great deal for the money.

Design and Accessories

Featuring a lightweight design and a modern appearance, this model seems to be the right choice in case you want to upgrade your actual pool cleaner. The unit measures 15 x 17.5 x 13.25 inches and it weighs only 18 pounds. This means you can easily move it around without putting too much pressure on your back. Additionally, it includes a 40-foot power cord and an extra-large filter bag capacity, thus increasing the life of your pump and filtration system.
