Ah, the P1 MAX. When this campaign first surfaced, it promised us the future of pool cleaning—a robot so smart and efficient, you’d half expect it to serve you a poolside drink once it was done.
With features like auto-docking, ultrasonic mapping, triple brushes, and the kind of suction that sounded like it could vacuum up your regrets, Lydsto’s P1 MAX made a bold cannonball into the pool-cleaning market.
But now that the campaign is long closed (May 23, 2023), and some time has passed… did the P1 MAX truly float, or did it sink?
Order Fulfillment: Smooth Sailing or Murky Waters?
As one of the lucky 41 backers (or unlucky, depending on your experience), I’m curious—have you received your unit yet?
Some backers have whispered in online forums about smooth delivery—packaging that arrived in good condition and a product that looked sleek and exactly as marketed. For others, it’s been radio silence, with emails to support floating unanswered in the deep end. If you’re one of the latter, you’re not alone—and it’s time we compare notes.
✅ For those who received it:
- How long did it take from the campaign’s close to delivery?
- Were all components (charging station, filter baskets, app instructions) intact and working?
- Was setup truly as simple as pressing a button?
❌ For those still waiting:
- Have you received tracking or shipping updates?
- Any word from Lydsto’s support team?
Cleaning Performance: Deep Dive or Shallow Sweep?
Let’s talk power. The campaign touted an ultra-beefy 9800mAh battery, three brushes, and a filtration rate of 280 LPM. Did it live up to the hype?
Here’s what I want to know from fellow backers:
- Does it really climb and clean the walls? Or is it more of a bottom dweller?
- Is the waterline cleaning feature as magical as they claimed?
- How effective is it in irregular pool shapes? Does that “S-shaped mapping” really adapt?
- Did the auto-recharging actually work? Or did it flounder halfway?
Bonus points if your pool is tiled, irregularly shaped, or loaded with leaves—real-world messes test real-world machines.
The App: Smart Assistant or Glitchy Gimmick?
I know the campaign made the app sound like it came straight out of a Bond movie, but what’s the reality?
- Does the app connect smoothly?
- Can you actually control it manually and schedule cleanings?
- Is the real-time progress tracker reliable, or does it send you alerts like “Your robot is relaxing in the sun” while it’s stuck on a step?
Maintenance & Support: Hassle-Free or Hair-Pulling?
The whole point was to free your hands, remember?
- How easy is it to clean the filters?
- Any issues with the brushes clogging up?
- How responsive is Lydsto’s customer support when something goes wrong?
Also, that “automatic 5-minute calibration” sounded cool—but did it make any practical difference in navigation?
