Wybot C2
Budget cordless robot with a 10 µm ultra fine net
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Wybot C2 worth it? A light, low cost cordless robot whose 10 µm net makes it good at fine debris, which earned it a Bob Vila pick. It costs $500 as of Nov 4, 2026, and 2 independent reviewers tested it.
A light, low cost cordless robot whose 10 µm net makes it good at fine debris, which earned it a Bob Vila pick. The Pool Nerd found suction weak and the weekly timer capped at 180 minutes in total, so it is not hands off. Good for small to mid pools with fine dirt; skip it if you want a robot that runs on its own all week.
Best for: fine debris in smaller pools. Skip if: you want daily automatic cleaning.

- Labeled Pool Nerd Disapproved. In an 8 x 20 ft pool it ran 180 min floor only but about 60 min in Turbo, needed about 3 h to recharge after each cycle, and its weekly timer caps total runtime at 180 min. Suction of 3,592 GPH trailed corded Dolphin rivals. The site prefers corded robots.
