## What reviewers found

### Wybot C2

- 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](https://www.bobvila.com/articles/best-robotic-pool-cleaner/)
- 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](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/wybot-c2-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)
