Mammotion has launched its Spino S1 Pro robotic pool vacuum cleaner on Kickstarter, a global crowdfunding campaign launched on April 28 for a device that can be lifted out of the water and returned to a poolside dock to charge without manual intervention.
The Spino S1 Pro debuted at CES 2026, and its AutoShoreCharge system drew attention as it addresses a limitation common to most robotic pool cleaners on the market. This limitation requires the unit to be manually removed from the water before being charged or stored between wash cycles.
Navigation relies on a combination of cameras, IMUs, time-of-flight sensors, and pressure sensors, with Mammmotion reporting a total of 23 sensors working together to handle obstacle detection, edge tracking, and debris identification throughout the pool environment.
The robot offers a combination of five cleaning modes covering floors, walls, and water pipes, customizable sequences, and an all-surface option that prioritizes walls before switching to floors once the battery reaches 50% capacity.
Five brushless motors deliver up to 6,800 gallons per hour of suction output, and a dual-layer filtration system with a 180-micron outer basket and 20-micron inner basket captures both coarse dirt and fine particulate matter in the same pass.
Spino S1 Pro covers pools up to 300 square meters in concrete, fiberglass, kidney, rectangular, circular, tile and vinyl configurations, with underwater communications maintained within a 10 meter radius of the dock, supporting precise return navigation in deeper or more complex layouts.
Kickstarter pricing starts at $1,699 for the Super Early Bird tier and goes up to $1,999 for the standard Early Bird offer. The VIP pre-campaign deposit scheme is available until April 28th, with a refundable $50 deposit required to lock in the $1,000 discount and bring the unit down to $1,499, after which the Kickstarter campaign will continue until May 28th.
This $50 deposit will be fully refunded once the campaign ends, regardless of whether you make a purchase or not, and VIP backers will have early access to the campaign on the start date and priority shipping ahead of regular Kickstarter orders, with fulfillment expected in November.
In the same campaign, Mammmotion will also offer a standard Spino S1 without a self-docking station starting at $899, with delivery targeted for June for buyers who want robotic pool cleaning without an autonomous charging system.
