It’s about that time of year. National Pool Opening Day is tomorrow, April 25, and summer is almost here, which means pool owners everywhere are getting ready to unveil the horrors of whatever happened during the off-season. Most of the Beatbot lineup is on sale at Amazon and Beatbot’s own storefront, with prices starting at $499. Beatbot makes many of the best pool-cleaning robots we’ve tested, and we’ve highlighted our top picks below. Note that the discounts are scheduled to end on April 26, though items may sell out sooner. Happy pool party season! (Drop me an invite!)
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra for $2,649 ($500 Off)
Our favorite robotic pool cleaner overall, the AquaSense 2 Ultra has what WIRED contributor Chris Null called “near-perfect cleaning capabilities.” It has six hours of battery life and AI-powered debris detection, and it can handle cleaning the floors, walls, and waterline. You’ll get a charging stand as well. Be aware that this cleaner weighs nearly 30 pounds, so be sure to eat your protein so you can lug it out of the water when the job is done. Even though it floats, it can still feel pretty hefty. The AI debris detection sets this model apart, as do the five cleaning brushes and frankly oversized battery capacity. If you want the fanciest pool cleaner we’ve tested, and you don’t want to pay full price, this deal is up your alley.
Beatbot Sora 30 for $749 ($200 off)
The Beatbot Sora 30 offers great value for the price. It tends to fluctuate between this discounted price and its full thousand-dollar MSRP, and we have yet to see it sell for less than it is right now. It has excellent battery life and more than enough power and features for daily pool cleaning needs for most users. It doesn’t have a surface skimmer—you might want the pricier Sora 70 (on sale for $1,200; $300 off) for that—but otherwise it’s capable of cleaning your pool floor, walls, and waterline. It’s easy to use with the companion app, and it floats when it’s done cleaning for easy retrieval. If you don’t need a surface skimmer or you don’t want to drop a ton of cash, this middle-of-the-road robot is worth considering.
Beatbot iSkim Ultra Robotic Pool Skimmer for $649 ($350 off)—Clip the Coupon
Beatbot
iSkim Ultra Robotic Pool Skimmer
The best surface skimmer has sensors that prevent it from slamming into your pool walls while it cleans. Unlike many other robots in this category, it actually slows down and turns while it’s skimming. It does have a basket-eject button on the front that sometimes gets depressed by accident, though this might not be an issue depending on your pool shape, and it’s not so much a deal-breaker as it is a thing to be aware of. Snag this model if you want to keep the surface of your pool clean automatically, but you don’t mind manually cleaning the walls and floor.
