FAQ
Corded or cordless pool robot?
Corded robots like the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus Wi-Fi run off the power supply, so you never charge a battery, but the cable can tangle. Cordless models like the Aiper Scuba S1 or Beatbot AquaSense 2 have no cable, but their runtime and battery life matter more over time.
Do robot pool cleaners clean the waterline?
Many do. Several of our picks list wall and waterline cleaning, such as the Aiper Scuba S1 Pro. The Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus does not skim the surface, so check each listing for floor, wall, waterline and surface coverage.
Is there a good robot pool cleaner under $500 here?
Not one with a price we've checked. None of the pool robots we list has a checked price under $500, so we don't publish a sub-$500 list. Where a pick shows no price, check the current price on Amazon.
