## 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)

### Wybot S2

- PCWorld: Picked up 99 of 100 synthetic leaves and captured organic debris and grit well with the secondary filter fitted. Ran about 2 h 45 min against a 3.5 h claim, moved in a haphazard pattern, and the app's cleaning history was unavailable throughout testing. [Source](https://www.pcworld.com/article/2408237/wybot-s2-robotic-pool-cleaner-review.html)
- The Gadgeteer: Tested the S2 Pro bundle with a self charging dock. Ran about 3.5 h, left the pool visibly cleaner, agitated the surface even at the 9 ft deep end, and its treads did not stick on the main drain. The dock bracket mounts permanently with adhesive.

- GearBrain: Tested the S2 Pro without its dock. Said it cleared debris well, including after a hurricane, and left clear water, but charging after every session is inconvenient without the dock. No measured figures. [Source](https://www.gearbrain.com/wybot-s2-pro-pool-cleaner-2670684968.html)
