Beatbot Sora 70
#1 in CordlessFull review
The cheapest Beatbot that also skims the surface, a good fit for leafy pools up to about 3,200 sq ft. It costs half as much as the AquaSense 2 Ultra but has no AI camera.

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.
