Summer’s almost here, and if you’ve got outdoor space, like a patio, pool, or backyard, you’re likely looking for any excuse to make the most of it. Whether you’re hosting a weekend cookout, lazing around the pool with a cold drink, or just enjoying a relaxing evening, there are a few smart gadgets that can take the whole experience up a notch. Here are some tech products worth getting to upgrade your patio and pool this season.
SPONSORED Beatbot Sora 70 – Four-in-one all-purpose AI high-efficiency pool cleaning robot Beatbot If you’ve ever finished a tedious pool-cleaning session only to realize you missed the waterline, or the shallow end steps are still grimy, an automated pool cleaning system that covers everything would feel like a dream come true. That’s now a reality with the Beatbot Sora 70. The headline feature is full-zone coverage of the floor, walls, waterline, and water surface with a single cordless robot. Surface cleaning is a particularly impressive addition, since it’s a feature that’s usually missing with other pool cleaners in this price range. SonicSense™ is Sora 70’s proprietary AI feature that helps it better understand your pool. Using real-time ultrasonic signals, it cuts through water reflections and wall clutter to detect actual obstacles and avoid false alarms. It also automatically maps your pool’s long and short edges, dynamically adjusting its S-shaped cleaning path, shortening strides around curves, and navigating tricky corners with precision. The Sora 70 captures signals, measures dimensions, and plots the most efficient route, giving you a thorough, intelligent cleaning every time. Beatbot The Sora 70’s JetPulse™ system handles surface skimming with twin jets that actively pull floating debris inward rather than pushing it away. And instead of making the cleaner go through a full cycle every time, the Sora 70 even has a dedicated Water Surface Mode. The 10,000 mAh battery is solid, giving you 7 hours of surface cleaning or 5 hours on the floor. And with 65W fast charging, it’ll be back up and running in just 4.5 hours. Its cleaning capabilities are, of course, impressive, as well. 6,800 GPH suction, an extended 6.7-inch inlet, and eight motors mean it handles everything from fine sand to larger debris in one pass. And with a 6L debris basket, you won’t have to empty it out too often. It also features shallow-platform cleaning, with the Sora 70 capable of operating in water as shallow as eight inches, which is useful for pools with steps, benches, or sun shelves. Once the Sora 70 has finished cleaning, another major feature kicks in: Smart Water Surface Parking. The pool cleaner automatically floats to the pool’s edge, so you’re not fishing a heavy robot out of the deep end every time. If you’re looking for a complete pool-cleaning package, the Sora 70 should be on your radar. And during Beatbot’s Anniversary Sale, you can get the Sora 70 for just $1,149 ($350 off).
Crystal Water Monitor
Crystal Water Monitor
Keeping a pool or hot tub properly balanced is one of those chores that’s more tedious than it appears at first. You’re either fumbling with test strips that aren’t accurate, or carrying water samples around to stores to make sure you have the dosing right. The Crystal Water Monitor takes that effort out of the equation.
The device sits in your pool, hot tub, or swim spa and uses lab-grade, platinum-coated sensors to continuously monitor pH, ORP, and temperature. Unlike competitors that check your water once a day, the Crystal monitor does it 144 times, so you’ll have a much more accurate idea of what’s going on in your water.
There’s an app, available on both Android and iOS, that’ll send you a push notification immediately if it senses something’s off. It also tells you exactly which chemical to add and how much.
All you have to do is connect the monitor to your Wi-Fi and drop it in the water. If you’ve been spending your summer stressing about water chemistry, the Crystal Smart Water Monitor is worth a look. It’s priced at $449 and includes a free subscription for the first year.
