What reviewers found
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
Wybot F1
- PCWorld: Collected about 85% of test leaves within about 4 h, more effective on floating leaves than other skimmers the reviewer had used. Very loud, often bumped walls, never ran a full day on one charge, and the app showed 98% battery when real charge was 13%. Source
- Bob Vila (4.7/5): Best Midrange pick in a 2 month test of 7 skimmers. Handled pool railings and steps well with reliable obstacle avoidance and no constant bumping. Source
