ComparisonBeatbot AquaSense 2 Pro and Maytronics Dolphin Liberty 600

Up to three

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.

Where each one suits you.

The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.

Fit verdicts by condition for each robot
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.
