Winny 200SE Robotic Pool Cleaner

Key Features

  • This pool robot is… bad - Almost no one should buy it. It lacks an active brush, has weak motors, and could barely pickup debris in our test pool.
  • Short Battery Life - The Winny 200 SE only has a battery life of about an hour and charges for 3-4 hours. Compared to corded robots, which never need to recharge and can always be running, the Winny 200 SE disappointed us.
  • Weak Suction - In comparison to other robots we have tested, the suction was rather weak as it was unable to grab all the debris in our test pool.
  • Flat Pools Only - The Winny 200 SE only works on completely flat pools. It failed to navigate up one of our pools with a slight incline.
  • Gets stuck on vinyl wrinkles - Like other users reported when researching, we had the issue of it getting stuck on our above-ground pool wrinkles.
  • Lackluster Results - We aren't the only one who the Winny 200 SE didn't perform for. There are dozens of reviews online on people's cleaners dying just after a few weeks of use.

Questions & Answers

Common questions about the Winny 200SE

Above-ground robotic pool cleaners are designed to clean the floor only. In-ground cleaners with wall-climbing capability are built differently; check your model's specs for floor-only vs floor, walls, and waterline.
With proper care and normal use, most robotic pool cleaners last 3–7 years. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, pool chemistry, surface type, and whether you store and maintain the unit as recommended.
It's best to remove the cleaner after each cycle and store it in a shaded, dry place. Leaving it in the pool can expose it to sun, chemicals, and debris, which can shorten its life.
Most plug into a standard 120V outlet via a low-voltage cable and control unit. A few models are cordless and run on a rechargeable battery; check your product's specifications.
Running it 2–3 times per week is typical for many pools. Heavy debris, high use, or large pools may require more frequent runs; smaller or covered pools may need less.
Check that the power supply is on and the cable isn't tangled or caught. Ensure the filter basket isn't overfull and that the unit isn't stuck on a step or drain. If it still doesn't move, refer to the manual or contact support.
No. Robotic pool cleaners run on their own power and filtration. You can run them with the pump off, which can save energy compared to pressure or suction-side cleaners.
Most residential robotic pool cleaners use a standard 120V outlet. The control box steps this down to low voltage for the floating cable. Check your manual for your model's requirements.
Simple tasks like cleaning filters and unclogging impellers are usually fine. For motor, cable, or electronics issues, use an authorized technician or the manufacturer's support to avoid voiding the warranty.
Cartridge filters are reusable: you rinse or wash them and put them back. Debris bags are often disposable or optional for heavy leaf pickup. Some robots include both; check your model for options.
