It can clean top to bottom and everywhere in between with its advanced 3D mapping technology. And with the HydroComm Pro underwater communication capabilities, the Scuba X1 Pro Max can perform water quality testing and provide expert recommendations for maintaining your pool.

Strong battery backup and solar panels that look like they belong in a magazine.

Jackery always impresses. In addition to the powerful punch of the new 3000v2 solar generator and modular whole-home backup systems – that will keep larger appliances running when you need them most, they unveiled sophisticated solar tiles that seamlessly blend in and power your home. Jackery’s newly designed solar panels are like nothing else on the market. The tiles have a terracotta look and are the first curved solar tiles in the US, redefining form and function. They will fill your energy storage system, saving you a lot of money on your power bill, and potentially provide some much-needed energy independence – coming later this year.
