Mammotion has brought its Spino S1 Pro robotic pool cleaner to Kickstarter, with the global crowdfunding campaign going live on 28 April for a device that can lift itself out of the water and return to its poolside dock to recharge without any manual intervention.
The Spino S1 Pro first appeared at CES 2026, where its AutoShoreCharge system drew attention for addressing a limitation shared by most robotic pool cleaners on the market, which require the unit to be manually retrieved from the water before it can be charged or stored between cleaning cycles.
Navigation relies on a combination of camera, IMU, Time-of-Flight, and pressure sensors, with Mammotion reporting a total of 23 sensors working in tandem to handle obstacle detection, edge following, and debris identification across the pool environment.
The robot offers five cleaning modes covering floors, walls, the waterline, a customisable sequence, and a combined all-surface option that prioritises walls before switching to floors once the battery reaches 50% capacity.
Suction output reaches up to 6,800 gallons per hour across five brushless motors, with a dual-layer filtration system using a 180-micron outer basket and a 20-micron inner basket to capture both coarse debris and fine particulate matter in the same pass.
The Spino S1 Pro covers pools up to 300 square metres across concrete, fibreglass, kidney, rectangular, round, tile, and vinyl configurations, with underwater communication maintained within a 10-metre radius of the dock to support accurate return navigation in deeper or more complex layouts.
Kickstarter pricing starts at $1,699 for the Super Early Bird tier and rises to $1,999 for the standard Early Bird offer, with a VIP pre-campaign deposit scheme available until 28 April that requires a refundable $50 deposit to lock in a $1,000 discount and bring the unit down to $1,499, after which the Kickstarter campaign runs until 28 May.
That $50 deposit is returned in full once the campaign concludes, regardless of whether a purchase is made, with VIP backers also receiving early access to the campaign on launch day and priority shipment ahead of standard Kickstarter orders, with fulfilment expected in November.
Mammotion will also offer the standard Spino S1 without the self-docking station on the same campaign from $899, targeting delivery from June for buyers who want robotic pool cleaning without the autonomous charging system.
