CES 2026 NEWS – The Fairland Group subsidiary unveiled a unified outdoor living platform alongside three flagship products, including two CES Innovation Awards honorees
Most “smart garden” products are just app controlled tools with no real intelligence connecting them. Your pool cleaner doesn’t talk to your lawn mower. Your heat pump doesn’t know when your swim jet is running. iGarden bet that outdoor living needs the same ecosystem thinking that transformed indoor smart homes, and CES 2026 was where they proved it.
At CES 2026 (Booth #51248), iGarden debuted its trust centered AI Ecosystem alongside three flagship products: the Pool Cleaner M1 Pro Max, the Swim Jet X Series, and the Lawn Mower L/L AWD Series. Two of these products earned CES Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree recognition. The iGarden Pool Cleaner M series became the world’s first pool cleaning system to earn TÜV Rheinland certification, with the M1 Pro Max as the flagship model highlighted at the show.
This isn’t three isolated gadgets sharing an app. This is ecosystem driven outdoor living built on a foundation that prioritizes reliability over flash.
The iGarden AI Ecosystem
Before the products, the platform.
If you’ve ever dealt with a pool cleaner that lost connection mid cycle because your Wi Fi hiccuped, iGarden’s approach will make sense. Central Control uses RS 485 wired local control for stable, zero lag device commands. The system is immune to Wi Fi outages and interference. Wi Fi plus TCP wired network connectivity is also supported for app access and OTA updates.

What it supports:
The system connects to heat pumps, water pumps, salt chlorinators, automatic multiport valves, swim jets, lights, pool covers, plus four custom relays. DMX512 lighting control is supported with a protocol encoder.
AI Scenes let you automate multi device logic using professional pool management rules. Think: “When the pool temperature drops below 78°F and it’s before 6pm, turn on the heater and close the cover.”
Specs at a glance:
- IP65 rated for indoor or outdoor wall mounting
- Operating temperature: -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F)
- Input voltage: AC 90V to 240V
- OTA updates supported
- Offline control protects local data
- Drainage and refill alerts for water level safety
The iGarden App provides unified control across all connected devices. The iGarden Portal gives your pool service company remote diagnostics access, so they can tell you what’s wrong before they show up.
The real pitch here is predictive maintenance. The system tracks performance trends and flags problems before they become expensive repairs. If you’ve ever had a pump fail on a Friday afternoon in July, you understand why that matters.

iGarden Pool Cleaner M1 Pro Max
The M1 Pro Max is an AI powered autonomous pool cleaner with 20 hours of runtime, nearly five times the industry average according to iGarden. That runtime means it can handle large pools or run multiple cleaning cycles without babysitting.

The dual camera 3D vision system uses twin UHD cameras for real time obstacle avoidance and intelligent path planning. Translation: it shouldn’t get stuck on your pool ladder or spend 45 minutes cleaning the same corner.
A dual pump architecture powers adaptive suction that adjusts based on debris detection. When it hits a dirty patch, it boosts negative pressure automatically. Turbo mode is available when you need heavy duty cleaning after a storm or a pool party.
Dual layer filtration captures everything from leaves to microscopic particles without clogging mid cycle.
The TÜV Rheinland certification applies to the M series as a whole. TÜV is a German testing organization with strict safety and quality standards. The M series is the first pool cleaning system to earn that certification.
M1 Series Reference Specs (broader series, not Pro Max specific):
- Filter capacity: 4.5L, dual layer filtration
- Battery capacity: up to 365.4Wh in the M1 Pro 125 tier
- Cleaning modes: floor, wall, waterline, full coverage
- Features: Turbo mode, AI timer, app control
iGarden Swim Jet X Series
The Swim Jet X Series is a portable cordless swim current generator. Drop it in your pool, press a button, and you have an endless swimming lane.

Depending on the model, Swim Jet X tops out at 230 m³/h on the X34 variants and 170 m³/h on the X24 variants, with peak flow speeds of 3.4 m/s and 2.4 m/s respectively. (iGarden marketing materials cite currents up to 250 m³/h and 3.5 m/s; the per model spec table below reflects the published specs for each variant.) The current is smooth and stable, not choppy or turbulent. You can adjust the flow from the app for anything from light resistance to serious workout intensity.
The suitcase style design with wheels and handles means you can move it between pools or store it in the garage. No permanent installation required.
Model Specifications:
| Model | Power | Max Flow Rate | Max Flow Speed | Charging Power | Charging Time | Full Output Runtime |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X34 P60 | 1000W | 230 m³/h | 3.4 m/s | 264W | 7.5 hours | 1.5 hours |
| X34 P30 | 1000W | 230 m³/h | 3.4 m/s | 264W | 3.5 hours | 45 min |
| X24 P30 | 500W | 170 m³/h | 2.4 m/s | 150W | 6.5 hours | 1.5 hours |
| X24 P20 | 500W | 170 m³/h | 2.4 m/s | 150W | 4.5 hours | 1 hour |
All models: IP68 waterproof, water temperature range 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F).
iGarden Lawn Mower L Series and L AWD Series
The L Series and L AWD Series are autonomous robotic lawn mowers with genuinely wire free setup. No perimeter wires to bury. No RTK antenna to install. Five minutes from box to mowing.

The navigation system combines 3D LiDAR, IMU, and a 1080p camera with 110 degree field of view. AI vision recognizes toys, pets, and children and stops or reroutes around them.
Standard models handle slopes up to 46 percent (25 degrees). AWD models handle slopes up to 70 percent (35 degrees). If you have a hilly yard that defeats other robotic mowers, the AWD variants are designed for exactly that problem. All models fit through passages as narrow as 31.5 inches, so gated side yards and narrow fence openings aren’t an issue.
Noise level sits at 60 dB(A). You can run it while you’re in the backyard without shouting over it.
IPX6 rated and direct high pressure washable without disassembly. It comes with a three year warranty.
Mowing Specs (all models):
- Cutting width: 8.7 inches
- Cutting height range: 1.2 to 3.9 inches
- Connectivity: App, Wi Fi, Bluetooth, 4G
Model Specifications:
| Model | Max Coverage | Max Zones | Slope Handling | Charging Time | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L30 | 0.25 acres | 30 | 46% (25°) | 2.5 hours | 38.6 lbs |
| L50 | 0.45 acres | 30 | 46% (25°) | 2.5 hours | 39.5 lbs |
| L AWD 60 | 0.49 acres | 50 | 70% (35°) | 3 hours | 43.0 lbs |
| L AWD 80 | 0.74 acres | 50 | 70% (35°) | 3.5 hours | 43.8 lbs |
Who Should Skip This
If you have a small flat yard and an above ground pool, this ecosystem is overkill. iGarden is targeting homeowners with larger properties, complex pool setups, or multiple outdoor zones that need to work together.
If you want standalone products with no integration overhead, look elsewhere. The ecosystem approach only pays off if you plan to use multiple iGarden devices.
If you need coverage beyond 0.74 acres, the L AWD 80 is the largest option in this lineup. Bigger properties may need to wait for future models or run multiple units.
The Bottom Line
iGarden describes its philosophy as technology that acts in the background, converting complexity into simple, elegant experiences. That framing fits what they showed at CES: an ecosystem where pool care, swim fitness, and lawn maintenance share a single control layer without requiring the homeowner to become a systems integrator.
iGarden operates under Fairland Group, founded in 1999 with presence in over 120 countries. The parent company holds more than 300 technology patents and employs over 500 R&D personnel. Fairland has earned Guinness World Records recognition.
If you’ve been waiting for outdoor robotics to catch up with indoor smart home maturity, iGarden’s CES 2026 lineup is worth watching. The ecosystem approach, combined with TÜV certification and two CES Innovation Awards, signals that this is more than concept stage ambition. No pricing or availability announced yet, but we’ll update when iGarden shares more details.
