The pool robot from KRONFELD made a very good impression in the test.
It enables the wireless cleaning of swimming pools. With its powerful 7,500 mAh Li-Ion battery, the robot can clean the floor of various types of pools wirelessly for up to 90 minutes.

The rechargeable battery ensures particularly powerful cleaning, with all types of dirt being sucked out of the pool.

The product packaging is not fully recyclable.

*The maximum score is 100 points
We really liked the KRONFELD pool robot in our test.
It is an efficient and time-saving helper for pool cleaning. Although it was ideally developed for a flat pool floor, it also copes well with smaller irregularities such as creases.
The robot is supplied with a cord and a buoyant plastic ring. When the battery is empty, the robot automatically moves to the edge of the pool and can be easily lifted out from there.
We really like the “stop when you get out of the water” function. This means that the vacuum cleaner only works when it is in the water.
The performance of the pool robot is very good. The fine dust filter ensures that the robot not only whirls up the dirt, but actually sucks it up. The vacuum cleaner collects an astonishing amount of dirt, even in a supposedly clean pool. Cleaning the interior and the filter is quick and easy.
The pool robot is easy to operate, even for people with little technical experience. Charging and starting the robot is completely straightforward. It is a great advantage that the suction robot is battery-operated and therefore no cables are required.
The pool robot is a perfect pool cleaner and makes pool maintenance much easier.

and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

| Rating cut | Not rated, as there are still too few customer reviews | |
