MEDION PR1 review

The cheapest robot on this shelf and the most explicit about its limits: floors only, flat floors only, and the maker states in writing that it is not for curved floor-to-wall transitions.

The bottom line Honest about being a floor robot. It cleans floors, it says so, it says which floors it cannot manage, and it parks itself at the edge when it is done. At this price that is a complete proposition rather than a compromised one — the compromise only appears if you were hoping for walls, which this machine has never claimed.

On the maker’s own page

A cordless floor robot with 120 minutes of runtime, a 150-minute charge, a 30 W motor, a stated water flow of 1 136 GPH and a 180 µm filter with 2.2 litres of capacity. It covers pool floors up to 100 m².

The listing states that it suits pools with a flat floor and a crease-free liner, and that it is not for rounded floor-to-wall transitions. The box contains the robot, a charger and a hook.

The limit that is worth the whole listing

Not for rounded floor-to-wall transitions. Almost nothing on this shelf tells you what defeats it, and this does.

A curved cove where floor meets wall is common on moulded and on some frame pools, and a floor robot that cannot handle it climbs, slips and repeats. The maker publishing that limit is more useful than another paragraph about suction, and it is why this page leads with it.

The flow figure, left in its own unit

1 136 GPH — gallons per hour. Two other robots in this family publish LPH and one publishes litres per minute, and none of the three is converted here.

Converting takes a second and produces a number that looks exactly like the maker’s. It would be ours, and nothing in the typography would say so.

Left off the page

Weight, on a machine that comes out of the water by hand. And whether the battery is replaceable — the part that ends a cordless robot, and the one thing no maker in this family mentions.

Availability

The German and French Amazon stores sat between 95 € and 120 € at the single check this page is built on.

The British, Italian and Spanish Amazon catalogues hold the reference with no seller standing behind it.

The American Amazon store gave back nothing, so the buy button there lands on a search instead of a blank page.

These figures are what Keepa gave back the day this page was last written. Stock and prices shift without warning.

Declared figures, and the gaps between them

Strengths

  • The maker states what it will not do — rounded floor-to-wall transitions — which almost nobody on this shelf does
  • Self-parking plus a supplied hook, so retrieval is answered twice
  • 120 minutes against a 150-minute charge is a workable ratio at this price

Compromises

  • Floors only: no walls, no waterline, and those are what the dearer robots on this shelf are selling
  • No weight published, on a machine that has to be lifted out wet
  • Whether the battery can be replaced is not published

The questions this one raises

What does “not for rounded transitions” mean in practice?

That the robot is built for a pool whose floor meets its wall at an angle rather than a curve. The maker states it, which is a genuinely useful limit to publish — most listings on this shelf describe what a robot climbs and not what defeats it.

Is 180 µm fine enough?

It is the standard figure across this whole family — seven of the nine robots here publish 180 µm as their main filter. Two offer a 3 µm ultra-fine element in addition, sold separately in one case. For leaves, sand and everyday debris, 180 µm is what the shelf uses.

Is the battery replaceable?

Not published. No maker in this family says either way, and on this shelf that silence usually means a sealed pack — but usually is not a published fact, and this page will not turn one into the other.

Who this one is for

A flat-floored above-ground pool where the walls are brushed by hand
