Seauto Seal in 2024 Review

- ***UPDATE MAY 2024***
Some users of this new Seal/Crab are reporting that the cleaner now does come out of the box ready with all 3 cleaning modes unlocked!
Here is my updated review on the 2024 version of the Seauto Seal/Crab. It's important to note that there are MANY, MANY different brands and names for this cleaner here.
Overall, the Seauto Seal for 2024 is still a great-valued cordless pool cleaner!
There is, however, a major difference from last year's model. For the current year, this new model NO LONGER allows you to have multiple cleaning modes out of the box. You will have one mode, ALL COVER mode, which cleans both the floors and walls of the pool.
However, Seauto will release an app later on, which they will charge extra for, that allows you to unlock more cleaning modes if you choose to use it, not required. IMPORTANT: currently, that app to unlock modes is not available and there is no scheduled release date.
If you would like access to extra modes out of the box, take a look at the SMONET CR6. It is based on the same cleaner but with 3 modes unlocked out of the box!
You can pick up any of these cleaners on my links below!

Excellent review!
Great video…
David loving the reviews been watching all to find out best one to buy. Quick question what’s the Water depth of your tanning ledge? I have something similar but think some of the cleaners wouldn’t work as it may be too shallow.
My tanning ledge is about 12-14 inches and it cleans it well. I also have two very shallow steps above that ledge in each corner with only about 6 inches that it won't climb up. But that's normal, no cleaner climbs those steps.
@@imdefinitelydavid thanks mate, I spoke to a rep from Aiper and they said that the Scuba S1 and S1 Pro needed 19inches to work so I know that’s not true as I’ve seen the S1 work on your tanning ledge. Will you be doing a review in the S1/N1 Pro? Also there’s one from Australia where I am the Poolbot B300 that’s looks the goods also.
Well I think the Pro version is taller so it might be different. But yes, I have one ordered and supposedly it's "in stock" on their site so I'm hoping they ship it out soon. Will review it as soon as I get it!
As for the poolbot, looks like it's not available for me here in the US. But it looks very similar to the Wybots here in the US... I'm assuming they're the same company
@@imdefinitelydavid I ordered my S1 Pro last week and received it Sunday. I've been impressed. Looking forward to your review.
I also received it the same day as you and tried it out that same night and all day yesterday lol.
Will be posting the review video very soon, thanks!
I bought this exact robot and I only have the one mode. Not a deal breaker, still love the thing, but I wish I had the three modes available on the button. Wish I would have known before I purchased.
I'm getting mixed reviews saying now that some of these cleaners come with multiple modes out of the box and some do not. So now I have no idea which ones do and don't.
I am about to return it because I pressed the on button and it was flashing. So I turned it off and turned it back on and placed in water. It never came up to clean the waterline!!! It stayed down doing the floors and wall. Isn’t that crazy? I have yet to call and ask about those codes for the wall cleaning modes. So what the heck happened? Does a double start turn on a wall & floor only mode?🤔I’m charging it torestart and only turn it on once to see if it comes up to scrub waterline as it should. I have 30 days to return it so if it doesn’t start to act right it’s going back. Which was that other model u preferred? Was it the Aiper? Thanks
When you turn it on there should be a voice prompt that says which mode it's in. Does yours not speak to you? There's no real other way of knowing which mode you're in otherwise when pushing the button. It's supposed to verbally say the mode.
I bought the 2024 model last week largely based off of your review of the 2023. I tried pushing the power button to change modes and nothing, as you mentioned. I contacted support yesterday and they sent me the link to the app. I can post the link here if you would like. Caveat, I installed the app and it cannot 'find my device'. I have sent a follow up on my ticket. Real bummer on the modes. I will definitely return it if I cannot have modes.
Oh yes, please post that link if possible!
It's not a surprise it doesn't work... their app support is just bad unfortunately. And their customer support is so confusing as well.
This is what they provided: drive.google.com/file/d/1O_GIUh5NMp1Dff4Idvn9Jjyi5-dNLYzn/view?usp=drive_link . Feels sketchy but it did install.
@@imdefinitelydavid I did post the link but I don't think CZcams allowed it (it was from a google drive). Anyhow, support got back to me and provide another link to an updated app. Im going to cut my losses and return this thing. Its never a good sign when the customer feels like a beta tester. It does seem to work but locked modes is a deal breaker for me. I also noticed the Aiper S1 pro is now in stock so I am going to order that instead. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you for the link. It's a disappointment it's not on the play store or apple store. I mean, why would it be a Google drive link...
At least the S1 Pro should be an upgrade. I have one ordered as well!
What do you prefer, WYBOT C1 or the Seauto Seal/Crab? Looking to buy one asap.
Between the two, if you need a weekly timer and you have good wifi, I'd go for the C1. But if you don't need that timer, the Seal/Crab is the more aggressive cleaner for sure.
@@imdefinitelydavid Thank you!
One more question... I have a spa that connects to my pool. The water is only about 1/4'' deep on top of the tile where it transitions into the spa. I noticed the Crab climbs up and over to your steps and tanning bed. Do you think that it would go into my spa? I wouldn't want it to.
It shouldn't climb over into the spa. There's always a minimum amount of water a cleaner needs to move and at the bare minimum I've seen this one need at least 6 inches. So the 1/4 inch of water leading to your spa it wouldn't sense and it should stop and back up instead of go forward into the spa.
i have a horrible experience with this one. out of the box only one mode and it never cleaned the pool completely.. i always felt it didnt have enough suction. the basket design amd the cover is poorly desinged and difficult to gwt on. mine also broke and would not go into clean mode after 1 month of use. Seauto did not respond to any request and had to return it theu amazon.
Users are reporting, including myself, that some of these shipped with multiple modes out of the box, and others with just one mode. And yes, I agree, the debris basket is uncharacteristically annoying to reattach. Sorry about your experience.
I have the same pool cleaner. Out of the box i am able to choose all cover mode. Wall only mode and also floor only mode. No app needed.
Did you recently buy this?
Maybe they have updated this out of the box. A few weeks ago the cleaner did not do this and I've had multiple people tell me the same thing.
Purchased about a month ago on amazon.
David - I also wanted to highlight that my crab from Amazon (May 2024) was also unlocked with all modes. No app needed. IOS app doesn’t work. Android app works but only shows SN and firmware version. Thanks for all your videos - they are great.
We really like the crab. It doesn’t struggle on our ledges like the seagull pro did. The crab *sometimes* falls on it back on our steps but we are working on a modification to see if it works better.
Well this is great news then. Hopefully they have unlocked them all since then. I will have to update my description. Thank you!
How do you reset the crab
Haven't tested it yet but if it's the same as the last year model:
Press the ON button to turn it on.
Within 2 seconds, press and hold the ON button until the light turns WHITE.
Then press the ON button again and it should turn yellow and reset.
What’s up buddy sell me your 2023 version of the seauto
Lol I use it for comparison all the time though.
But here's a secret, it's already been remade... I have a video posting in a few minutes. Check it out please! 😃
I'm looking for the 2023 model too 😂
Check out the Dolphin Niya Sonar 50! 😀
@@imdefinitelydavidthanks it's looks great just watched your reviews. I'm definitely a new subscriber! Where can I buy it?
You can get one off Amz or Wmt. I have some links in the description.
