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 C2 Vision
- The Pool Nerd: Tested the standard C2, not the Vision: weaker suction than a corded Dolphin, a weekly timer capped at 180 minutes total in floor mode, and an Android login error. Rated Pool Nerd Disapproved. Source
- EFTM (86%): Dirt hunting mode found a placed dirt pile within 20 minutes and the pool looked very clean, but most modes ran until the battery was nearly flat, shallow steps stopped it, and the app had account and translation quirks. Source
