Why We Chose iGarden for the Future of Our Pool Range

Saturday, 08th Aug 2026 in Pool Cleaners, Resource Centre

We have looked hard at where pool technology is heading, and put our weight behind iGarden. Here is why, the awards that back it up, and which iGarden cleaner suits which pool.

Who are iGarden?

iGarden builds smart, cordless outdoor technology: robotic pool cleaners, swim jets and robot lawn mowers, under the banner “Artful Living Technology”. The thinking is simple: pool care should happen on its own, without cords, hoses or fuss, so you get the pool and not the chores. What made us commit to them for our future lines is that the engineering is ahead of the curve, and the industry has said so.

The awards, and they are serious ones

This is not a new brand hoping to be noticed. iGarden’s products are already decorated.

  • A’ Design Award winners (2026) across multiple product lines: the pool cleaning robot K Series and M1-AI Series, and the swim jet X Series. The A’ Design Award is one of the largest international design competitions in the world.
  • Digital Trends Publisher Award for the iGarden M1-AI intelligent pool cleaning robot, for redefining outdoor living with effortless luxury.
  • TIME Best Invention for the iGarden Swim Jet P Series, one of the most respected innovation honours anywhere.

A brand collecting design and invention awards across its whole range, not one product, is the kind of partner we want behind our future pool lines.
