#4 in CordlessFull review
A well-equipped mid-price robot for above-ground or in-ground pools up to about 2,000 sq ft, with mapping and easy waterline parking. Pools with fine silt need a robot with a finer filter.

Beatbot AquaSense
#27 in CordlessFull review
A budget way into Beatbot’s lineup for mid-size pools that mostly need floor and wall cleaning. Shoppers who can stretch should compare it with the same-price AquaSense 2, which adds a bigger battery and a three-year warranty.
