Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max
#8 in CordlessFull review
An all-in-one cleaner for large in-ground pools that need both skimming and deep cleaning. It is heavy to lift, but one robot replaces a separate skimmer.

Beatbot AquaSense X
#9 in CordlessFull review
For owners who want the least hands-on pool care money can buy, with a station that empties the filter. Most pools get the same cleaning from Beatbot’s cheaper models if you don’t mind rinsing a basket.
