A newer brand's corded flagship that measured among the strongest suction readings in independent testing and has an unusually fine filter. The UV-C lamp is an extra layer on top of normal sanitizer, not a replacement, and Clear has no multi season reliability record yet. Pick it if you want top suction and fine filtration on a cord; get the cheaper Clear S if you do not care about UV.
Best for: in-ground pools with fine debris. Skip if: you want a proven long term track record.

What independent reviewers found
- Tested for a few weeks in a test pool used for 40+ robots. Rated it Pool Nerd Approved and named it Best Newcomer, but would not rank it number 1 because long term reliability is unproven.
- The Pool Nerd
- Measured 2.09 PSI at the intake with a manometer, second of 16 robots behind the Dolphin Premier at 2.2 PSI. Picked up leaves, sand and fine grit; filter rinsed in about a minute. Kill rate of the UV lamp was not verified.

Questions buyers ask
Does the UV light replace chlorine?
No. Both The Pool Nerd and ActuallyUsed say the UV-C lamp is a supplement to normal sanitizer, and neither measured a kill rate.
What is the difference between Clear UV and Clear S?
Only the UV-C lamp. Clear lists the same motors, filters and modes on both, and the S costs $250 less.
How big a pool can it clean?
Clear rates it for pools up to 50 ft long with a 59 ft cable and depths from 2.5 to 16.4 ft.
