## What reviewers found

### Beatbot Sora 10

- PCWorld: Picked up dirt and leaves and scrubbed walls and waterline credibly, collecting over 95% of test debris in about two hours, but missed all debris on the steps and sinks a few minutes after parking if not retrieved. [Source](https://www.pcworld.com/article/3155615/beatbot-sora-10-review.html)
- The Smart Home Hookup: Strong coverage, runtime, waterline cleaning and leaf pickup; failed the 8 inch sun shelf test and its 150 micron basket will not trap algae or fine silt. [Source](https://www.thesmarthomehookup.com/?p=11020)
- The Pool Nerd: Lists it as an entry option with better build than no name robots, but notes a slow random path, no weekly timer, and basic mesh filtration. [Source](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/best-cordless-robotic-pool-cleaners)

### 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)
