The straightforward one. Plug it in and it cleans.

It has no app.
Floors, walls, waterline, steps and sun ledges from 30 cm. Start it and walk away.
Nothing to set up
The S1000 has no app and no connectivity, and for a lot of people that is the point. There is nothing to pair, nothing to update and nothing to go wrong between your phone and the pool. One cycle, full coverage, done.
Brochure: full coverage cycle, no app listed
Two brushes, front actively scrubbing
A front active scrubbing brush and a rear combined brush. The scrubbing matters more than suction alone on marbelite, where algae grips into the surface rather than sitting on top of it.

Top-load basket, lifted straight out
The filter comes out of the top rather than the underside, so you are not turning a wet machine upside down over your paving to empty it. It is a small thing that decides whether the filter gets cleaned as often as it should.

Steps and sun ledges from 30 cm
Floors, walls, the waterline, steps and sun ledges down to 30 cm of water. If your ledge is shallower than that, the EON line is the one that reaches it — and we would rather tell you now than after delivery.
