Robotic pool cleaner review
Spec-based review: scored from Wybot's published specifications with the same weights as every other robotic cleaner. Not a hands-on test. How we score.
The WYBOT C1 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner (2026 Upgrade), released in 2026, is a cordless, battery-powered robotic pool cleaner from Wybot. It cleans the floor, walls and waterline, navigates in a systematic pattern rather than at random, using S-path / N-path planned cleaning paths, and pairs with its app over Bluetooth. A charge lasts up to 150 minutes and takes about 3 hours to refill.
On paper it scores 7.8 out of 10 (good) against other robotic cleaners. Its strongest areas are cleaning coverage (9.0) and pool size (9.0). Where it gives ground: app & connectivity (6.0) and filtration (6.5).
The best price we found is $399.99 at WYBOT, 30% off its $569.99 list price. The typical robotic cleaner we track costs $899, so this one is cheaper than most. For what it does, its value score is 9.4 out of 10.
If you want mapping navigation, the cheapest we track with it is the Dreame Z1 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner at $349.99.
If you want a Wi-Fi app, the cheapest we track with it is the Dreame Z1 Pro Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner at $399.99.
For about the same money, the WYBOT C2 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner (2026 Upgrade) scores higher (8.4) at $429.
Bottom line: a good pick for pools with no outlet near the deck, large pools, above-ground pools and buyers who want the most features per dollar.
Nothing stands out on paper.
