Cordless Robot Pool Cleaners: Which One Fits Your Pool?

A pool's size, depth and shape decide which cordless cleaner can work in it. These four differ in the pool area they rate, how shallow they go, and how you lift them out.

Seen half under and half over the water of a pool, a grey robot cleaner works across a shallow sun ledge in water so shallow that its black top stands out of the surface, beside the ledge's gold-edged lip and the steps down into the deep water.

Same on all four: battery powered with no cable, app control over Wi-Fi, and no subscription found on the maker pages or app listings. Weight rail: pool cleaners on record, typical middle half shaded.

At the deep end of a pool after the run, a grey robot cleaner floats at the surface by the coping, and a grey-blue one has climbed the side wall below it and waits with its nose at the waterline.

Questions

What readers ask

Which of these four rates the largest pool?

MOVA rates the Rover X10 for up to 5,400 sq ft, Aiper 3,875 sq ft and Beatbot 3,229 sq ft. Maytronics rates the Dolphin EON 120d by length, 50 ft, and gives no area.

Can any of them clean a shallow sun shelf?

Beatbot and Maytronics list 8 in as the shallowest water, Aiper 7.9 in. MOVA lists steps and sunbathing platforms without a depth. Reviews were mixed for the Aiper, Beatbot and MOVA. One review of the Maytronics saw a shallow beach cleaned.

How do I get one out of the pool?

MOVA, Aiper and Beatbot float to the surface at the end of a run. The Dolphin waits at a wall. You shake its ClickUp clicker in the water for 3 to 5 seconds and it climbs toward you.
