Smartpool NC22 SmartKleen

Every pool owner knows how difficult is to maintain the swimming pool sparkles clean without putting some effort. At the same time, buying an advanced pool cleaner can cost almost a fortune and many people don’t have enough money to buy it. So, what is the best solution in this case? After some research, we’ve come to the conclusion that the Smartpool NC22 SmartKleen is one of those robotic pool cleaners that can do it’s pretty well without having to pay too much money. The main advantages of the model are its powerful direct-drive 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. Therefore, we thought it would be helpful to present you the most important features of this unit and let you decide if it’s good enough for you.

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 of maximum 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, concrete, or vinyl liners. 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. The 2-wheel direct-drive motor delivers greater traction and optimal vacuuming performance, which means it’s very efficient when it comes to removing the dirt and debris. One of the things we like about it is the Intelligent navigation which can change direction without needing walls or steps, thus being able to cover the entire surface of the pool. Due to the fact that it’s quite fast, the unit 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, we have to mention 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.

Ease of Use

Since this model is a robotic pool cleaner, you will find it quite easy to use. Although it doesn’t feature a remote control to control the unit from distance, it’s definitely a better option than a traditional pool cleaner. Still, in order to remove it easier from the pool, the unit features a quick drain system, so you won’t have to put too much effort in this case.

Operating Costs

In case you want to lower your electricity bills, then it’s recommended to get such a device because they are quite energy-efficient. This product makes no exception and although we don’t have information on the amount of power it uses, we do know that in order to save energy, it features a automatic shut-off after two hours. At the same time, since there is a filter bag included, your pump and filter will last for a longer time, which means more money in your wallet.
