What reviewers found
Wybot A1
- The Pool Nerd: Tested in the reviewer's flat container pool. Runtime was roughly 1 h against an advertised 2 h, suction struggled with large debris, and it only works on flat floors. Filtration beat the Aiper Seagull SE. Verdict Pool Nerd Disapproved. The site favors corded Dolphin robots and earns affiliate commissions. Source
- drohnen.de (3.7/5): German hands-on test with leaves, pebbles, insects and fine sand: good cleaning including fine particles, edge parking worked, but heavy soiling may need two cycles and fine dust in crevices was only partly removed. Lacks an app and wall cleaning. Source
Wybot B1
- Popular Science: Set up in under 5 minutes, cleaned in methodical lanes with wall and corner coverage, handled a sloped side without sticking, and self parked at the wall. Weighs 13 lb dry and the basket rinses quickly. Source
- WinFuture: Tested in a 5 m vinyl pool. Climbed walls and cleaned floor and walls, with a roughly 2 L, 180 micron basket. The waterline had to be cleaned by hand, and the unit must dry before its charging port is opened. No measured runtime. Source
