Beatbot AquaSense Cordless Pool Robot

[Katodude]

How long a warranty would you expect for a robot in this category?

I would expect at least 3 years or with an option to purchase an extended warranty.

When something costs a couple of hundred dollars I don’t get mad when it breaks in a couple of year. Something that is close to $2000 should last quite a bit longer.

Even if it’s outside warranty, at least make all the spare parts available for purchase. That’s the one thing that ticked me off with Maytronics, the critical spares are specifically removed from circulation so you can’t fix it yourself. All other types of cleaners have spare parts lists that let you fix them yourself. But the robot world won’t let you fix the motor assembly, only buy new ones at astronomic prices.

This product is expensive for a reason, because it offers more features and a more convenient way of use compared to other products in the same category. This is what a popular online influencer friend of mine, who has a swimming pool at home, told me. I'm not comfortable revealing his name here. He mentioned having tried many pool cleaning robots, including Aquasense and Dolphin. He found that although Dolphin pool cleaning robots are cheaper, they do not cover as much area and often require additional purchase of a surface cleaning robot. However, this product can clean every corner of the pool. I'm not sure if what he said is true, but I have already ordered an Aquasense. I will try it out when it arrives to see if it's really that amazing！

The concerns we've uncovered so far have to do with the very limited warranty and replacement parts outside of the warranty period which is very concerning given the price point.

Do you think the warranty is too short?

 

[lindend]

Do you think the warranty is too short?

Yes. Especially at that price point. Its one of the big reasons why I didn't pre-order.

I'm very leery of all products launched by influencer campaigns.

Oh yeah. It influences me too.

Would this be the first robot to actually map out a pool?

 

[Katodude]

Nah, there are a few now that claim to map out a pool. It is yet to be determined if mapping provides better cleaning. The item that intrigues me the most is the come to the surface and park near the edge dump the water and get ready for extraction.

It is My influencer friend's AquaSense. Actually, the shape looks coollllll!

You can buy 2 Betta SE Plus and 2 Aiper Scubas for less $$. Twice the cleaning power, longer warranty available. If this was in the $1k range it might be worth a try.

Well TFP family, wife and I are replacing a $160 second hand Kleen-a-Tron corded robot cleaner, that finally died. After hours of text reviews and hours of video reviews, we decided on the pro version, with discounts and 5%back (Amazon, and Amazon Chase CC) in at $1735.00
Will report back on findings, we have a lagoon style inground pool, with ledge and steps, so we will see how it performs.

 

[Katodude]

Let us know how it cleans steps.

 

[mbeezie]

Any updates on how these perform?

 

[AwesoM]

Whelp, I fell for the meme and ordered the pro. I have horrible impulse control and couldn't pass up the $400 early bird order discount . I'll let you guys know how it works as soon as it warms up enough in Michigan to use it

Have you used it yet? How is it? I almost pulled the trigger last week when it was $330 off.

I just got the Aquasense Pro and it is currently on its first cleaning. My pool was very dirty so easy to tell when it did not clean. It missed a lot of spots. My pool is irregularly shaped so I assume it opted into the random pattern mode. This is the issue I had with past robots. Random is not complete.

I just saw some of the life numbers others posted. What does “Salt: 168 hours” mean?

 

[Katodude]

I’m sorry at the price it should handle an irregular shaped pool.

Anyone have any experience with the non pro model? I just tried the Aiper Scuba N1/S1 and it doesn’t navigate all that well.

I have a slope to the deep and and it can’t handle it well. I know they advertise 15° it is no more than that. It also repeats the same pattern as the walls are sloped as well and can’t seem to figure out how to get around this. Wondering if the aqua sense would do a better job.

From what I can tell, the non-pro model is the same components/technology, minus the top water skimming and water clarification. I ordered the non-pro last week and it’s supposed to arrive Thursday. I plan to use it over the holiday weekend.
