    What happened

    It plans routes with an IMU sensor instead of bumping around the pool at random.

    WatchingWhether independent reviews match the listed 99 percent floor coverage.

    Bottom line

    A dated US release of a first-generation pool robot, with coverage and suction figures still awaiting independent testing.

    Impact

    • Three cleaning modes and scheduling set through the Ecovacs Home app

    On readiness

    • On sale in the US from May 5, 2026
    • Launch price $499.99 at Ecovacs.com and Amazon

    Technical notes

    3 sections

    Release

    Launch coverage reported on May 5, 2026 that the Ultramarine P1, first shown at CES 2026, was available for purchase at $499.99 from Ecovacs.com and Amazon. Another report the same day found that Ecovacs had launched the pool cleaner and that it was available for purchase, describing it as the brand’s entry into pool cleaning.

    Cleaning System

    Launch coverage lists 4,800 GPH UltraPure suction with a high-performance motor and an S-flow anti-clog channel, and up to 99 percent floor coverage. Another report also cites the 4,800 GPH suction rating.

    Navigation and Control

    Both reports describe the SmartNavi navigation system, which uses an IMU sensor to track the robot’s position and plan efficient routes, in contrast with the random bump-and-go movement of many lower-priced pool robots. One notes control through the Ecovacs Home app with three cleaning modes and scheduling.
