Polaris FREEDOM
Cordless Polaris for in-ground pools, floor to waterline

We started tracking this price on Oct 26, 2026 and have not found a past sale price yet, so we cannot say if $1,199 is a good deal. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 31 days away, when robots in this category usually get their biggest cuts. Get a price drop alert.
The base cordless Polaris cleans floor, walls and waterline in about 2.5 hours and parks for retrieval with Tap and Lift. The Pool Nerd ranks it as a saner cordless pick than no name robots, but notes suction fades as the battery drains. It costs a lot for a cordless robot without a remote.
Best for: in-ground pools up to 50 ft without a cord. Skip if: you want corded level suction.
