For small-to-mid-size pools whose owners want AI debris targeting and self-scheduling without paying flagship prices. Big or leafy pools need a larger basket and battery.

A strong-suction, big-basket robot for mid-size pools up to about 2,150 sq ft, with a wireless dock for easy charging. Pools that need surface skimming should look at the X1 Pro Max.
