Beatbot AquaSense 2 vs WYBOT C2
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Robotic Pool Cleaners: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The AquaSense 2 is the only cleaner here that combines waterline scrubbing, a four hour floor runtime and a three year warranty with full machine replacement, which is the right combination for a machine that lives in chlorine. The WYBOT C2 does most of the same work, publishes more of its own specification, and costs considerably less.
Beatbot AquaSense 2
Buy itCleans all three surfaces, runs four hours, and is backed by the longest warranty here.
- Beatbot states a three year warranty with full machine replacement, against one and two years elsewhere in this group.
- Cleans floors, walls and the waterline, with a dual-pass waterline scrubbing routine rather than a single sweep.
- Up to four hours of continuous floor cleaning, and it parks itself at the surface so retrieving it does not mean reaching in with a pole.
- Beatbot publishes no suction rate, no filter micron rating and no weight.
- There is no stated pool coverage area, so matching it to a large pool means trusting the runtime figure alone.
- It is the most expensive cleaner here by a clear margin.
WYBOT C2
Buy itThe cordless cleaner that publishes the numbers everyone else leaves out.
- WYBOT states up to 2,152 square feet of coverage on a 180 minute eco cycle, the only area figure published in this group.
- Dual-layer filtration with a 180 micron large-particle cartridge and a 10 micron ultra-fine filter, both rated rather than described.
- Seven cleaning modes and six path options through the app, plus scheduling up to four cleanings a week.
- The 180 minute figure is for eco mode, and turbo will not come close to it.
- Two year warranty rather than the three Beatbot offers.
- No published suction rate or weight.
