All robot pool cleaners. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | AquaSense 2 Pro | Dolphin Liberty 600 |
|---|---|---|
| Pool type | ||
| In-ground | GoodDesigned for in-ground pools with standard plumbing and return configurations. | GoodDesigned exclusively for in-ground pools with perimeter access for dock placement. |
| Above-groundthey differ | DependsCable length and depth sensor calibration optimized for in-ground; aboveground use possible but less reliable. | PoorNot designed for above-ground pools; dock stability and electrical exposure are concerns. |
| Mixed setup | GoodWorks in both in-ground and aboveground pools with appropriate cable management. | GoodIn-ground pools only; confirm dock can be placed near pump or pool edge safely. |
| Pool size | ||
| Small (< 400 sqft) | GoodUnder 15,000 gallons: single run completes coverage quickly but leaves idle capacity in battery. | GoodFull feature set (waterline + floor + wall) overkill for under 8,000 gallons; a smaller cordless model would be lower cost. |
| Medium (400 – 800) | Good25,000-40,000 gallons is sweet spot: runtime covers full coverage in single autonomous session. | Good12,000–25,000 gallons is the designed envelope; one 90-minute cycle achieves full three-plane coverage. |
| Large (> 800)they differ | PoorOver 50,000 gallons requires multiple cycles or partial coverage per session. | Depends30,000+ gallon pools require 110+ minutes for three-plane coverage; two cycles or battery replacement mid-session recommended. |
| Debris load | ||
| Fine (sand / silt) | GoodSand, fine silt handled well by dual brushes and filter cartridge replacement every 4 weeks. | GoodFine sediment handled well; filter cartridge rinses easily after fine-sediment sessions. |
| Leaves / large debristhey differ | DependsDual brushes prevent wrapping better than single designs; however, high leaf load requires weekly rinsing. | GoodBattery limits runtime in high-debris scenarios; pre-skim pool during fall to avoid basket clogs and runtime depletion. |
| Algae / heavy foulingthey differ | DependsLiDAR turbidity tolerance: algae blooms above moderate levels degrade navigation accuracy significantly. | GoodWaterline jet addresses algae at tile line; floor and wall coverage complete. Light biofilm handled in one pass. |
| Coverage you want | ||
| Floor only | GoodPrimary focus: floor cleaning via dual brushes and autonomous path planning. | GoodComplete floor coverage; floor-only mode available in app to conserve battery. |
| Floor + wallsthey differ | DependsClimbs walls with variable brush pressure but does not reach beyond 5-6 feet height reliably. | GoodWall climbing and floor coverage integrated; wall-return engagement automatic. |
| Floor + walls + waterlinethey differ | DependsWaterline follower handles cleaning but may miss tight corner crevices requiring manual attention. | GoodWaterline jet is included; covers tile line in dedicated 15–25 minute cycle within full 90-minute runtime. |
A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
You gain unattended autonomous cleaning across five functions, but scheduling and remote control depend on smartphone WiFi connectivity; app stability concerns appear in owner forums.
The quad brush system covers floor, wall and waterline in the same run, and those brushes are consumables that need rinsing after runs and replacing as the bristles wear.
Obstacle detection protects pool furniture, not people or animals: the pool must be clear before an unsupervised run.
Cordless operation removes cable management, but coverage is bounded by charge rather than by the wall socket. Maytronics states up to 4.5 hours per charge, and Eco Mode spreads that across scheduled short cycles instead of one continuous pass.
App control enables sophisticated scheduling but requires WiFi stability and smartphone ownership; network outages silence scheduled runs without alert.
ClickUp removes the cable and brings the cleaner to the surface on its own, but retrieval is still manual: the owner lifts the unit out of the water by hand at the end of every cycle.
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
