This is our IAQUA NANO 620m product test from 25.05.2023
Test Driver: 100 KG, male, 186 cm
Tested product; NANO 620m top model, (constructed: MAY 2023) TOYMASTER
TEST mission:
Uninterrupted diving at full speed in the ocean, above and under water, until maximum speed step/ level “6” droppes down/ is reduced automatically to next lower speed step "5" and so on.
The test is finished until the remaining drive speed is negligible/ slower than regular swimming.
Result:
Drive time at full speed until step down from level “6” to “5” was 5 Min.
The remaining capacity of the battery after the 5 minutes performance reads 50%.
Drive time from speed level “5” to automatic reduction to next lower level “4” was 2 minutes, which means a total uninterrupted drive time of total 7 minutes.
Drive time from speed level “4” to speed level “3”, was 3 Minutes, which means a total of 10 minutes.
Drive time from speed level “3” until level “2” is activated was 5 minutes, which means in total a drive time of 15 Min!
A NANO, driven nonstop, will last 15 min!
The fun factor speed (that is the speed that a client usually expects) is definitely given at speed step "6" iand is definitely on bikini striping eye level with nearly 40 KG heavy top dive scooters. Sadly, after 5 minutes uninterrupted drive time, the speed is reduced automatically, and then you have already “burned” 50% of the total capacity!
Hence the respectable top speed of a NANO 620m comes with an rather ultra-short drive time and an extreme loos of remaining capacity.
Speed Level “5”, feels significantly slower than top level "6", and probably matches the speed of e.g, a SEABOB F5. According to our tests a 4 KG heavier SEABOB F5 would have never been able to reach the top speed of the 25 KG light NANO, but SEABOB F5 definitely last twice as long at it's top speed.
SEABOB F5 speed is matching in our opinion speed level 5-4 of the NANO.
After a couple minutes more the speed of a NANO collapses rapidly down to a rather "no fun" factor movement.
In our opinion the drive time would not satisfy an adult that expects to have fun TIME with his Big Boy Toy. However, the NANO is fast and it looks extreemly appealinmg!
The manufacturer’s specifications should be corrected, because the weight is 25KG and not 22 KG.
We don’t want to be picky but the client pays mainly for less weight and therefor the weight should be stated accurately!
Manufactures operating time is by far of what we have tested! Operating time is rather short. Kids and super slim persons might be able to get more drive time (test pending), however, the manufacturers advertised operating time is by far from what we have tested! Even If operating time is calculated with breaks, then doubling up the 5 minutes to 10 will not make the NANO very desirable. What we liked is that on top of the water the IAQUA will not spoil your hair style or make up. Splashing water is nearly none. When trying to dive a straight line (remain at same depth) the NANO rather pulls you down. The driver has to compensate the down drag by tiring strong wrist twist or using elbows to create a lever, which makes a stretched arm position impossible. The hydrodynamic balance could be better tuned. If the down drag is not compensated the jet drive is going into balls and belly.
The advertised smart features like GPS and APP conection we could not verify yet. There is no indecation if the missing features will be updated "over the air"/ hardware is already installed. The IAQUA NANO does not emit a WLAN sgnal so far.
