- Our score: 6.7 out of 10

- Status: on sale
- Best for: small flat above-ground pools
- Skip if: your pool has slopes or you want wall cleaning
- HTML version: https://robotsforthat.com/robot/wybot-a1/

## Verdict

A light, simple floor robot for small, flat pools like above-ground and container pools. Both hands-on reviewers say it only cleans the floor, and The Pool Nerd got about half the advertised runtime. It suits a small flat pool on a tight budget, not a pool with slopes, steps or walls that need scrubbing.

## Pros

- Light at 7.7 lb, easy to lift out
- Fine 180 µm filter plus foam layer
- Parks at the edge when the battery runs low
- Simple one button use

## Cons

- Floor only, no walls or waterline
- Measured runtime about half of the 2 h claim
- No app or remote control
- Short warranty, with conflicting 1 or 2 year claims

## Questions buyers ask

### Does the Wybot A1 climb walls?

No. Wybot rates it for floor cleaning only, on flat floors with less than a 15 degree slope.

### Is the A1 part of the 2026 Wybot recall?

No. The April 2026 CPSC recall covers the Osprey 700 Max and S1 only.

### How long does it run?

Wybot claims up to 120 minutes. The Pool Nerd measured about one hour in its test.
