SCORED
A sensible budget cordless pick for owners who want walls and waterline scrubbed without paying flagship money. Reviewers found it picked up leaves and dirt well, but it skipped step debris and its 150 µm basket will not hold fine sand or algae. Skip it if you have a sun shelf you want cleaned.
Best for: budget cordless buyers. Skip if: you need a sun shelf or steps cleaned.

- PCWorld
- Strong coverage, runtime, waterline cleaning and leaf pickup; failed the 8 inch sun shelf test and its 150 micron basket will not trap algae or fine silt.
- The Smart Home Hookup
- Lists it as an entry option with better build than no name robots, but notes a slow random path, no weekly timer, and basic mesh filtration.
