Dreame’s Z1 robot pool cleaners let you spend more time enjoying your pool versus cleaning it

Summer is fast approaching, and for many, that means peak swimming pool season — bring on the inflatables, sun hats, and drinks coolers. However, as fun as it is, pool ownership also involves regular and physically demanding maintenance, soaking up much of your precious free time.

Experts recommend cleaning pools weekly to maintain water hygiene and hinder bacterial growth, but who among us hasn’t let that schedule slide from time to time? When you’ve had a long week at work, the last thing you want on your household chores is skimming for leaves, vacuuming dirt, and scrubbing waterlines.

Enter the Dreame Z1 Series, smart robot pool cleaners that promise to make pool cleaning so much easier and simpler.

Vac smarter, not harder

This futuristic tank-looking gadget isn’t just your typical floor-cleaning robot vac, albeit for a pool, it’s loaded with the latest AI to make smart and efficient work of cleansing your bathing water. The Z1 Pro is also the world’s first cordless robot pool cleaner that packs a remote control, letting you operate it solely with your thumb. Both Z1 models can work on a variety of pool surfaces, including concrete, fiberglass, vinyl, and even tile, and thanks to their powerful 8,000-gallon-per-hour suction and dual brush heads, these units make short work of leaves, dirt, algae, and other debris.

Unlike some other robot cleaners, which bounce from pool corner to pool corner in random fashion, the Z1’s smarts are powered by its PoolSense surround fusion system, which detects the shape of your pool using ultrasound and 3D structured light.

Once everything’s mapped out, the Z1 automatically optimizes its cleaning route using smart zoning as well as intelligent navigation and path planning, ensuring every inch of your pool is immaculate. Whether for above-ground or in-ground pools featuring freshwater or saltwater, these robotic cleaners work effortlessly with virtually any pool shape, whether round, rectangular, kidney, or even custom.

When we say it’s capable of edge-to-edge pool cleaning, it means business. It can sink to the pool floor to scrub like a submarine that’s declared open season on grime, while it can also crawl up walls, meaning good riddance to vertical-based dirt and mucky horizontal waterlines.

And while lesser pool cleaners might find themselves stuck on underwater steps, drains, or injectors, the Z1 Series utilizes smart obstacle avoidance to negotiate these hazards with ease.

Wireless control at your fingertips

Additionally, the Z1 Pro features a remote control armed with LiFi technology, giving you command while the unit is underwater. The controller features quad-directional keys as well as parking and spot-cleaning modes, so you can manually direct it to tackle persistent stains. Think it’s missed a bit? Use the direction keys to guide it back around for another pass. And if you’re on a tighter budget, the remote-free Z1 is available with near identical specs as its Pro cousin.

When your pool is looking spick and span, the Z1’s auto poolside parking deploys itself on a designated wall spot above the waterline, giving you a few minutes to pick it up without going for an unnecessary dip. Plus, its removable filter basket means you can easily clear waste and debris from the unit.

The Z1 Series is also compatible with the Dreamehome app, which lets you switch cleaning modes, review operation logs, and adjust parking mode settings easily and conveniently via your smartphone or tablet.

If you or a loved one dreads having to clean your pool week in, week out, why not save significant time and effort by investing in a robot pool cleaner? Clever, effective, and more affordable than you think, the Dreame Z1 Series untethers you from that pool skimmer, freeing you up to enjoy more splashing in the sunshine.
