## What reviewers found

### Beatbot Sora 70

- Reviewed: Cleaned floor, walls, steps and the Baja shelf and consistently beat other robots the tester had used, but did not pick up every leaf or seed pod and lost app connection underwater. [Source](https://www.reviewed.com/home-outdoors/content/beatbot-sora-70-robot-pool-cleaner-review)
- Techaeris (9.1/10): Handled floors, walls, waterline and surface in one session in an above ground pool; slow, its surface jets can push sinking petals down, and the reviewer says it will clog in an overgrown pool. [Source](https://techaeris.com/2026/07/04/beatbot-sora-70-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)
