What reviewers found
Beatbot AquaSense 2
- Bob Vila (4.5/5): Over three months in a debris heavy Florida pool it climbed walls, scrubbed a couple of inches above the waterline and cut manual cleaning to almost zero; it cannot clean stairs and misses upper tile. Source
- The Pool Nerd: Labeled Pool Nerd Disapproved: barely finished one full cycle, suction felt weak, missed corners and steps, and debris fell back out when lifted. Affiliate site that favors corded robots. Source
Beatbot AquaSense X
- Bob Vila (4.6/5): Tested for nearly two months in two 30 x 12 ft Florida pools. Floor, wall and waterline cleaning were consistently excellent, but the robot is very heavy and the dock is large and needs a hose. Says many buyers could get 85 to 90% of the performance from a Sora 70. Source
- Digital Trends: Editors' Choice. A 193 min floor and wall session used 76% of the battery; the station ran six plus cycles with no filter handling and the bag about a quarter full; waterline scum was essentially gone after three cycles. Stair cleaning graded B. Source
