Update:Beatbot customer service has reached out to me and is working on resolving the issues I had with the machine. Updating review to reflect the service received. Nice to have a company that stands behind their product.Original Review:Ended up returning it. Initially worked ok. However subsequent uses it would catch the debris under the basket rather than in it. Bad design flaw as this lets debris fall back into the pool. Going back to a corded version as they are more reliable. Cordless was convenient but not worth the active in quality clean.

It is a very good robot. It cleans the pool at the highest level. The element is quite durable and its price really corresponds to the quality. My friend recommended me to buy it because he has had it for two years and he is also very satisfied with this product. Research conducted on the Internet also confirms that this is the best choice compared to other competitors. It is so cute that I fell in love with it like a pet.

I got this to replace an Aiper that had died two months after its warranty expired. This time, I used a credit card that doubles the manufacturer's warranty. So - 4 years of warranty.The unit is physically larger and heavier than the Aiper. I'm glad I didn't go for the "Pro" version which is clearly even larger and heavier. It seems to be well made, and although it's heavier, it's just as easy to carry as the Aiper, because the ergonomics are better. Nice big grab handle.It has Wifi connectivity when it's out of the pool. But it does not accept Wifi passphrases with embedded spaces. I asked Beatbot's tech support about it, and their suggestion was to change my wifi passphrase. Umm, not happening. I have WAY too many gadgets with that passphrase. Note that I say "passphrase" and not "password". Wifi has supported passphrases since its very inception.Luckily, the cleaner works without wifi.Another issue - that I didn't know before receiving it; The manual says to turn off your pool filters while the cleaner is cleaning. I'm betting that's because the noise in the water confuses their ultrasonic sensor.I don't think that was mentioned in the Quick Start pamphlet. Anyway, the cleaner does work with the pumps running, but I think it's a little confused. My pool is a simple rectangular shape, and for some reason instead of going back & forth with the shape, the cleaner cuts steep diagonals across it, climbing the walls a bit at a severe tilt.The pool hadn't been properly cleaned since the old cleaner gave up, and although we have a power cover on it, a quantity of leaves had wound up on the bottom. The instructions say to clean the pool by hand before using the cleaner for the first clean of the season. Heck with that! I bought this $1K cleaner to *clean*, not to watch me clean :).So I plopped the cleaner in. It did it's thing and then parked at the edge of the pool. I fished it out, and the hopper was completely full. Recharged it and did it again the next day. It's been 3 days of once-a-day cleaning, and now the pool is almost pristine.WRT charging: The unit comes with a charging dock with two big spring loaded terminals that contact connection spots on the side of the cleaner. This seems like a very effective system, and superior to the little rubber-tipped plug that the Aiper had. Much easier to keep clean.The cleaner started parking itself at the far side of the pool, that has a retaining wall. Sure would be nice if I could tell it to park over HERE instead. But not deadly - my pool pole reaches the other side, and the supplied hook is very good - very substantial.The last few cleans, the unit stopped parking itself on the wall. Rather, it just stops somewhere in the middle of the pool. Not deadly - it's easy to fish it out with the pole.In conclusion, this seems to be a good cleaning machine, with some high-tech warts. But no deal killers.

Update: we finally received the parts needed and the vacuum is fixed. It works like new again.The cleaner itself work fantastic. There is nothing better. However, the roller house broke in less than a year and we are still struggling to get Beatbot to send a replacement part under the warranty. They did send new rollers, but that is not the problem; it’s the white plastic housing the holds the rollers. This cleaner is way too expensive to not be able to get the parts replaced. I gave it 2 stars because although it works great, it broke quickly and Beatbot is not very quick at helping us. In the mean time, we have a dirty pool and $1000 piece of equipment incapable of cleaning.

I wanted to love this but returned and went back to my skimmer based unit.It did fine on bottom, not great around drains. My issue was it missed constantly around stairs, didn’t do well transferring bottom to walls. Mine are curved and it seemed length of tracks and suction power it couldn’t get enough to climb consistently.Maybe the newer model but too pricey for a pool vacuum.

So far, so good. It’s only 2 months in use. It replaced at Dolphin S-200 (3rd one) that could not stop eating the cords and ending the cleaning cycle. Beat Bot cleans really well.

So far is working as expected. Pool is cylindrical in shape, but is does cleaning job well. Pool is small so battery power is more than enough. Highly recommend product for quick clean ups as well.

I have owned Beatbot for a few months. My pool gets very dirty every winter.(Wife doesn’t want a cover on it,) The Beatbot works great. Just a few passes as soon as the water warmed up a bit, and the pool was clean. It is nice not to have a long electrical cord to mess with. So far so good.
