## 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)

### Polaris FREEDOM

- The Pool Nerd: Named it the runner up cordless pick with longer runtime than many cordless units and wall climbing, but said suction and scrubbing fade as the battery drains and it does not match corded Dolphins. [Source](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/best-cordless-robotic-pool-cleaners)
