Poolease X1, X1A, X1P60, or S1: Which Should You Buy?

Start with the part of the pool you want cleaned. For a compatible flat pool floor, compare X1, X1A, and X1P60. If your purchase depends on cleaning rigid walls and the waterline too, check S1. None of these models should be selected on the assumption that it cleans steps.

X1 and X1A have the same published core pool-fit and runtime specifications. X1P60 has a smaller stated area and a shorter cycle. S1 offers a different cleaning scope. Those differences give you a useful shortlist before you compare the current product options.

Choose the cleaning job first

Treat the table as a first filter. Check the complete limits on the exact listing before choosing a model. To see the available options together, browse the Poolease pool cleaner collection.

X1 vs X1A: what should decide your choice?

The X1 product page and X1A product page both list:

• Flat-bottom above-ground frame pools and small in-ground pools up to 960 square feet.
• Pool-floor cleaning, with walls, steps, and waterline excluded.
• A floor slope under 10 degrees and maximum water depth of 2.5 meters.
• An approximately 100-minute cycle and approximately 2.5-hour charge.

If your pool matches those conditions, both belong on your shortlist. Their published specifications do not establish that one cleans better, has stronger suction, or produces a better result than the other.

Compare the exact option you would order, its included items, and the matching manual. If a difference matters to your decision but is not stated, ask Poolease manuals and instructions before checkout. A model name alone is not evidence of an upgrade.

X1P60: check the selected version before ordering

X1P60 is a floor-only option for compatible flat-bottom above-ground frame pools and small in-ground pools up to 538 square feet, with an approximately 60-minute cycle. X1's stated figures are 960 square feet and approximately 100 minutes.

Consider X1P60 if its smaller area limit and shorter cycle suit your pool. Remove it from the shortlist if your pool exceeds its stated area. A larger stated area or longer runtime still does not guarantee complete cleaning in every pool layout.

Open the X1P60 option and confirm the selected model before adding it to the cart. X1 and X1P60 share a product selector, so check the model name, listed area, and runtime together. Do not carry X1's 100-minute specification over to X1P60.

S1: consider it when walls and the waterline matter

The S1 product page lists pool-floor, rigid-wall, and waterline cleaning. It excludes steps and soft or flexible pool walls. If those are the areas you need cleaned, confirm the pool's construction and the complete operating limits before buying.

S1 lists up to 240 minutes per standard cycle and up to 420 minutes in ECO mode. Its product page describes ECO as floor cleaning; the 420-minute figure should not be read as a 420-minute floor, wall, and waterline cycle. Runtime also depends on the mode and conditions.

Compare S1's coverage and modes with the cleaning task you have in mind. For a compatible flat floor, you can also consider the floor-only options. X1, X1A, and X1P60 do not meet a requirement for wall or waterline cleaning.

Before you place the order

Keep your shortlist beside the exact product pages and check:

1. Your pool's floor shape, area, depth, slope, and surface against the model's limits.
2. Every required cleaning area, including any steps or ledges that need a separate method.
3. The selected model or variant, included items, current price, and availability.
4. The manual's charging, retrieval, filter care, and storage instructions, plus the Warranty Policy.

For detailed pool-type checks, use the above-ground compatibility guide or the inground buying guide. For planning the ownership routine, use the cordless purchase-preparation guide.

Once the requirements match, return to the current Poolease cleaner collection and choose the exact model. If a fit question remains, send Support your pool details and the model you are considering before ordering.

How this comparison was prepared

Poolease publishes this guide to explain its own product lineup. The comparison uses official product descriptions, not hands-on testing or a performance ranking. Product details and purchase options can change; check the current listing and manual.

The CDC's 2024 Model Aquatic Health Code defines a robotic cleaner as a motor-driven in-pool suction system. That definition supplies category context, not evidence that a particular model fits your pool. Keep routine water testing and care on their own schedule.
