Robotic pool cleaner review
Spec-based review: scored from Aquabot's published specifications with the same weights as every other robotic cleaner. Not a hands-on test. How we score.
The BWT AQUABOT Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner is a cordless, battery-powered robotic pool cleaner from Aquabot. It cleans the floor, walls and waterline, navigates by building a map of the pool with Ultrasonic mapping (gyroscope), and connects to its app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. A charge lasts up to 180 minutes and takes about 4 hours to refill.
On paper it scores 8.4 out of 10 (great) against other robotic cleaners. Its strongest areas are pool size (10.0) and navigation (9.5). Where it gives ground: filtration (4.5). Filter fineness isn’t stated.
The best price we found is $1,099 at Leslie's. The typical robotic cleaner we track costs $899, so this one is pricier than most. For what it does, its value score is 6.2 out of 10.
If you want surface skimming, the cheapest we track with it is the Beatbot Sora 70 Robotic Pool Cleaner at $1,199.
To spend less for nearly the same spec score, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Robotic Pool Cleaner rates 9.0 for $799.
Bottom line: a great pick for hands-off cleaning of the whole pool, pools with no outlet near the deck, scheduling and checking on cleans from your phone and large pools.
