Dreame’s Z1 Pro robot pool cleaner is bigger, better and perfectly hands-free

As the summer months arrive, owning your own pool comes with some serious perks. Having to clean it though is certainly not one of them. In fact, it’s a pretty arduous task that takes dedicated time that you’d much rather spend relaxing on an inflatable with a cold drink in hand.

Unfortunately, it’s a task that can’t be avoided. Without proper maintenance, your pool will suffer from a build-up of bacteria and algae that’ll cause damage and can also cause health issues for you. If you’ve found yourself at this crossroad between needing to clean your pool but not wanting to clean it yourself, then you’re in luck.

This is where the Dreame Z1 Pro steps (or, should we say, rolls) in. With powerful suction that’ll clean every surface, this robotic pool cleaner is not only seriously impressive, but you can control its movements perfectly hands-free — with a smart app and even smarter remote.

Let smart take over

It’s time to say goodbye to tangled cords and poor cleaning coverage and say hello to AI-powered navigation and 8,000 GPH of suction power. While the Dreame Z1 Series includes two models, if you’re channelling the ethos “go big or go home” then the Dreame Z1 Pro is the one for you.

Why? Well, it’s quite literally bigger, working on a larger cleaning coverage area than the Z1 – up to 2160 ft² for the Z1 Pro, compared to up to 1950 ft² for the Z1. It’s also hands-free, controllable with the accompanying Dreamehome app and steerable with the LiFi remote, in both freshwater and saltwater pools. And right now, it’s also pretty affordable at just $1099 for a limited time, compared to $999 for the Z1.

Having a pool cleaner that’s hands-free is a game changer. While some robotic cleaners will force you into the pool to reset their position, having a remote means you won’t have to. And thanks to the Dreame Z1 Pro’s intelligent mapping of your pool, it’s pretty well equipped at covering all the angles. Using PoolSense multi-sensor technology, the Z1 Pro can achieve efficient, full-coverage cleaning that includes walls and waterline.

So, when you catch it climbing the walls and your first instinct is to jump in and save it, be safe in the knowledge it’s actually giving you an even better clean. And it’ll tackle every surface, too, including concrete, fiberglass, vinyl and tiles that make up your pool design. Any dirt and debris it finds, it’ll clean it up with an impressive 8,000 GPH suction, as well as its dual active brushing system.

Sit back and relax

When you think of your pool, you don’t want to think about what a chore it is. And fortunately, the Dreame Z1 Pro is programmed specifically to take away that stress for you — and handle it like a pro. It’ll run for over 180 minutes, performing a thorough clean as it goes, and when it’s done, it’ll automatically park poolside for easy retrieval.

Plus, since it’s cordless and impressively smart, it won’t get caught up on obstacles, including itself, when its cleaning. If you’re investing in a robotic pool cleaner, you want to sit back and relax and the Z1 Pro wants you to as well.

As mentioned previously, the Z1 Pro comes with its very own handheld remote that uses LiFi technology. So, without getting up from your sun lounger, you can assign tasks like focusing on a dedicated cleaning spot, steer it around your pool and prompt poolside parking to retrieve it from the pool whenever you want.

And if you’re worried it won’t be able to navigate your uniquely-shaped pool, it’s smarter than you think. The advanced PoolSense technology recognizes if your pool has different edges, working them into specific zones and carrying out S-shaped routes that work for a wide variety of pool shapes and sizes.

While you can’t put a price on time and hassle, the Dreame Z1 Pro is convincingly affordable. And with a feature set like this tied together with the opportunity to move only to press a button on your remote or app, it may well be the answer you were looking for. Enjoy your pool this summer, don’t dread it.
