A strong middle choice for cordless buyers who want surface skimming and step or ledge cleaning without flagship pricing. Reviewers found it cleaned better than most robots they had tried, but it is slow, it does not suit neglected or algae heavy pools, and it sinks if the battery dies before you fetch it.
Best for: pools with sun shelves and steps. Skip if: your pool is often neglected or green.

- Cleaned floor, walls, steps and the Baja shelf and consistently beat other robots the tester had used, but did not pick up every leaf or seed pod and lost app connection underwater.
- Reviewed
- Handled floors, walls, waterline and surface in one session in an above ground pool; slow, its surface jets can push sinking petals down, and the reviewer says it will clog in an overgrown pool.

Questions buyers ask
Does it skim the surface?
Yes. Beatbot lists a Water Surface Mode with up to 7 hours of surface cleaning.
Will it clean a tanning ledge?
Beatbot says it works in water as shallow as 8 inches on platforms of at least 3.3 by 3.3 ft, and Reviewed saw it clean steps and a Baja shelf.
What happens if the battery runs out in the pool?
Reviewed found it sinks and cannot be recalled by the app, so you need a pole or hook to retrieve it.
