## 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](https://www.bobvila.com/reviews/beatbot-aquasense-2-review.md)
- 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](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/beatbot-aquasense-2-review)

### Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Wi-Fi

- The Pool Nerd: Rated Pool Nerd Disapproved: Dolphin cut the Nautilus warranty to one year, newer units ship with standard mesh filters instead of NanoFilters, and it climbs walls but does not scrub the waterline. [Source](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/dolphin-nautilus-cc-plus-review)
- Poolbots (retailer review): Headlined great cleaning performance but missing essential features: no waterline cleaning, Gen 1 filter cartridges and no NanoFilters. [Source](https://www.poolbots.com/reviews/dolphin-nautilus-cc-plus-wifi)
