Smorobot Tank C1 Review

Here's a look at the Smorobot Tank C1 for 2024.
This is a simple plug-and-play type of cordless cleaner at a great valued price tag. The Tank C1 will clean floors, climb walls, and scrub the waterline of your pool!
The Tank C1 does tend to struggle on steps and ledges if the cleaner does not hit the surface with both tracks, in particular, around corners it won't be able to climb up. Designed better for steep 90 degree walls and will NOT climb slopes greater than 15 degrees. No bells and whistles with this cleaner here. Just a great value simple plug-and-play!

Climbs the wall what about the rest of the pool

Thanks for all of your reviews. Any chance you’ll get your hands on the Polaris Freedom Plus? Really curious to know how well the remote works. I have an AquaSense and it does good on floor mode overall but misses spots at times, would be nice to have a remote for spot cleaning at the end of a cycle. Also like the idea of pressing a button to have it return to the surface for easy retrieval.
Also, do you have any experience with traditional hopper bottom pools? Every robot I’ve tried so far seems to struggle in that style of pool.

I probably won't be getting the Plus model since it's the same cleaner but with a caddy and that remote. But from previous experience with physical remotes, they work off a much better antennae and connect much better to the cleaner than through an app.
As for hoppers, they are notorious for cleaners to struggle with. The best thing would definitely be a remote control option of some sort. There isn't one cleaner that I know of being corded or cordless that will clean a hopper style well.

@@imdefinitelydavid Thanks, David. Just saw your Hydro 4 review. That one is very intriguing. I imagine you can’t leave your Betta in while it’s running though even with the buoy because of the tether?

[@imdefinitelydavid]

I tried it and what happens is the buoy gets caught in the skimmer and they pretty much throw each other off track. Like they drag each other to other spots of the pool so the pattern it follows gets thrown off. Doesn't hurt the cleaners but might lead to more missed spots

DO NOT BUY! Smorobot horribly built cleaner that breaks after a couple of uses and the customer service is the worst because they do not honor their warranty. Trust me ,buy another brand.

@smorobot I have wasted time and money on your products the X10 and the X11 each time the product failed I get the run around from Smorobot customer service through email contacts and the response is slow,in fact takes several weeks for any assistance. The company will send come up with some made up pro rated fee for me to get another unit and after waiting for a combined 2 months ,I receive the new product for it to only work a couple of times malfunctioned and I am back to again trying to get it replaced,this has happened to me 5 times in less than 2 years and alot of time and money wasted.During one of these times the rep had me pay for the X11 promising it to be a better product and improved features, it broke after 2 uses and when I contact Smorobot which took about 2 weeks of going back and fourth on emails I was offered to pay more money for the newer product being promoted on this video, obviously I declined and was told that because shipping is so expensive and that I had so many problems and returns that Smorobot can't honor the warranty, because of shipping cost.Finally the made up some figure and refunded me a third of what I paid fora new product.The service for Smorobot is very poor and slow their product has design flaws and poor quality build and the company knows this and somehow because shipping cost is high that is not the customers fault, make a better product honor your warranty, make doing business with you easy for the customer.

Hi David. Can you please tell me the depth of water over your large ledge. I assume that all of these robot cleaners need a minimum depth to operate. Great reviews.

[@imdefinitelydavid]

The tanning ledge I have has a water depth of about 12-14 inches. Most cleaners will say at least 1.5+ feet minimum but it's really not the case
