iGarden brings 4 new M1-series robotic pool cleaners to CES
Family robotic producer iGarden unveiled its new M1 collection of robotic pool cleaners at CES immediately, complementing its present Ok collection line of underwater scrubbers. And very similar to the Ok collection, these 4 new fashions are distinguished virtually completely by their battery dimension and ensuing working time.
The M1 collection showcases a revamped design that options 4 wheels as a substitute of treads, with a bulbous part within the middle of the robotic that makes it appear like the cockpit of a race automobile. The brilliant crimson colour remedy solely furthers that connotation, a lot because it did with the Ok Professional 150 we reviewed in October, 2025.)
The very entrance of the robotic, nevertheless, is the place you’ll discover its secret sauce, together with twin cameras designed to assist it scan the pool in 3D. iGarden says the cameras enhance particles detection, flooring protection, and impediment avoidance. As is changing into more and more widespread with family robots, AI-powered algorithms analyze the video feed and are key a part of the behind-the-scenes intelligence.
Further options throughout the M1 line embrace a brand new two-tier filter designed to enhance tiny particle seize whereas decreasing clogging, and a twin water pump design that adapts suction energy to the surroundings, primarily based on an evaluation of how a lot and what sort of particles the robotic is capturing.
A welcome one-touch return system instructs the robotic to climb the closest wall to achieve the waterline for straightforward, pole-free retrieval, though it isn’t solely clear how this method works in the intervening time. (Based mostly on pictures we’ve seen, it’s seemingly via a remote-control wand with flashing lights on one finish.)
At launch, the 4 fashions within the new collection are the M1-50, with a 7500mAh battery and about 5 hours of working time; the M1-80, with a ten,400mAh battery and about 8 hours of working time; the M1-100, additionally with a ten,400mAh battery however a promised 10 hours of working time; and the M1 Professional-125, with a 14,500mAh battery and about 12.5 hours of working time.
The models additionally differ primarily based on pump fee, with the M1-50 providing a decrease circulation of three,170 to five,019 gallons per hour, the center two robots that includes 4,227 to six,076 gallons per hour, and the M1 Professional-125 hitting 5,283 to 7,133 gallons per hour. Most of the different options of the Ok Collection, together with working time choices, periodic scheduling, numerous cleansing modes, and iGarden’s speed-boosting “Turbo Mode,” stay ported over to the brand new M1 fashions.
Pricing and availability for every of the brand new robotic fashions had not been revealed at press time.
