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
- The Pool Nerd: Labeled Pool Nerd Disapproved. In an 8 x 20 ft pool it ran 180 min floor only but about 60 min in Turbo, needed about 3 h to recharge after each cycle, and its weekly timer caps total runtime at 180 min. Suction of 3,592 GPH trailed corded Dolphin rivals. The site prefers corded robots. Source
- Bob Vila: Named Best for Fine Debris in a hands on roundup; about 2 h of battery life against a 185 min table figure, with ratings of 4.8 for ease of use, 4.5 for performance and 4 for value. Source
