The only pool robo vac video that actually did some proper testing and comparisons. Your thoroughness and explanations are much appreciated as I research to determine which is the the best option for me.

This dude’s pool is spotless now…

I'm not really in the market for a pool vacuum, since I don't own a pool. Duh. But I always enjoy seeing how you break down your product comparisons and use cases, even if it is sometimes just vicarious entertainment. Great job Rob!

Thank you! Best review video and most helpful. I watched a bunch and this was the only one that showed actual testing.

LOL, don't have a pool, don't want a pool, and yet... Loved watching Rob's detailed analysis of these bots, bunch of observations and advice that'd help with many diff robot builds. Cheers!

Very thorough review. I like that you get straight into it - quick and concise. Excellent!

Cap tip ! Thanks for this video! I actually cancelled one order and changed what I was going to buy. The video was clear and concise, and performance test was what I wanted to learn.

My pool guy has been bugging me for a while to get a vacuum. After months of research i was about to pull the trigger on the Active 60 though still not 100% confident in my choice. In 10 minutes you just saved me a grand and gave me confidence in my purchase. I upgraded to the shark (using your link) because i have 90 degree walls and a sun ledge. Your my go to for all of my reviews. Thank you

Awesome review. I also have a Polaris Maxx, which works okayish. I do have some flow rate issues based on the pump rpm and where the mix valves have to be positioned. Might be worth picking one of these up for getting the walls effectively.

This is a thorough review. Thank you, I appreciate it👍🏻

Perfect timing of this review.

Thank you so much for your thoroughness.

Awesome, magical robot that climbs the wall and cleans added to shopping cart. Next I need a review for a good pool. Always love the comparisons BTW.

Great job man definitely good video Great info cheers

Man, you rock doing videos and comparations! You did an awesome job. Congrats 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I went to a local pool store, and they tried to sell me a robot with a price tag of $2000!!!! I can't thank you enough for this vid.

I loved your video!! Very informative. Just purchased from your link the seato se. Thank you so much!😊

Great reviews, thank you for your work. I am going to use provided links to get my unit. Thanks again and keep it up. Cheers

Thank you. Amazing and helpful review!

I'd like to see some reviews of wired robotic cleaners. I've got a Dolphin S300 that I'd love to see how it could compare to competition.

Thanks for the info. I have a corded robot. I wondered how well the new generation worked.

Really well done video. Thank you

This was a fantastic video and definitely exactly what I was looking for to figure out which vacuum to purchase.

Great comparison review, no question! But I'm heavily confused as to why someone who has an existing in-ground pool cleaner (like my Hayward "The Pool Cleaner") would want to get a robot vac. While my Hayward sucks (pun intended) when it comes to my stairs and walls, it does its job every day without fail. I never have to think about it. With a robot vac, you now have a daily chore of taking it out of the pool, emptying the basket, charging it, then going back out later in the day to put it back in the pool. The end result is you will forget to do it and you'll have a filthy pool. I get that this is great for above ground pools or pools without a built-in cleaning system. Also, I have no issues with the hose breaking down -- I live in San Diego, my pool has been here for 23 years and the only time I replace the hose is when I replace the cleaner (which isn't very often -- like every 10 years). I wish that the inconvenience factor of this solution was highlighted in your review. On another note, if anyone can recommend a replacement for my hosed pool cleaner that knows how to properly climb walls and clean stairs please let me know :)

Awesome revue. Kudos

More pool tech please. Great video!

Super helpful !!

Great research thanks

Great info, thx.

As always, another awesome review and comparison. I just placed an order for the Seauto… Thanks!!

I can’t wait for the newest reviews!!!! My wired dolphin died a few days ago.

Outstanding work!!!!

Purchased a Seauto (through your link 😀). You're 100% correct: shocking it's only $350. After 5 days of use, we've retired our side-suction Polaris 380. Thanks.

thanks for the video...ordered the SeAuto using your link!

nice review as always

Thank you!

Thank uou for your very informative videos

Excellent video! A++

Great video.. thank you

THANK YOU !!! I will take your advice. Its still a good price too :)

Beyond excellent review unlike so many others. Thank You! Only thing I'd add is charge time for each and one thing keeping from buying this type. Seems like it would be a pain to pull it out and charge it, put it back in, repeat... Over and over. Also, battery replacement cost.

Wow. Great review.

Very helpful thank you

During your dirt tests, I noticed the finest black particulate matter being reintroduced into your otherwise very clean pool water. I have the same challenge with my manual hand vacuums. I've found that lining the entire inner filter with paper towels, specifically Bounty brand in my case, adds additional filtering and will capture even the smallest particulates, even dead algae.

👍😎✊ you got some commish.. thanks!

FYI: Bought the Seauto on your recommendation (thank you). Like you mentioned re: other comments, it dumped all of the vacuumed contents back into the pool upon removal, every time!!. The issue is that the screws on the bottom flapper valve were too tight, causing it to gap open. Loosened the screws and all is OK now.

thanks

Most of them seem to just go back and forth like absolute bananas.

Nice breakdown

Great review - and I don’t even have a pool 😂 Idea for next time: The weight data could perhaps be shown in a table sorted by weight, instead of one by one. The test was well planned and executed 👍🏻

What is the pole that you used to pull them out? Thanks for the awesome video!

I don't have a pool, I don't expect to have a pool, but I'm watching this anyway because of the in-depth info and I will learn something 😂👍

Excellent video.

Seauto also has a higher end version (Shark) $550 on sale - it's awesome and has a ultra fine filter used on the floors. Never does back flips, doesn't get stuck anywhere .

@The Hook Up I purcahsed the Seauto based on your review. I'm sorry to say that I haven't had a great experience with it at all and I can't recommend it to anyone. I have an in ground pool, rectangular, with a slight slope. It gets around the pool just fine, but I have an algae problem and it's very clear the the robot does not have great coverage. I have to run the robot several times a week just to get the pool to look OK (there are still green areas on the floor where the robot just missed again and again). Even with three times a week, the robot doesn't get where the walls meet the floor at all. There's always a clear very thick green line there. Probably because the robot seems to always take the walls at an odd angle instead of straight up. My pool has seating accross one of the walls and the robot just misses the whole seat somehow. And the water sensor on the robot is mounted so high that it can't clean my baja shelf, in fact, it often climbs up to the shelf, tips over and then gets stuck on it. At which point I have to go push it back in the pool.

Hin thanks for the detailed comparisons, it help alot. What do you recommend between Seauto seal se or Shark version? Which one is better?

Thank you for this informative and well-documented video of these robot pool cleaners. I took your advice and ordered the Seauto. It has not arrived yet, but I am wondering if I should use a caddy for the cordless version of a pool cleaner, or is that more for the corded versions?

This is great, awesome job!!! QQ, can you do robot lawn mowers, but the smart ones that have started to come out this year that seem to use sensors to mow, versus the old Roomba method of just random algorithm?

Hi, great video by the way. I went with your results and bought the Seauto SE. We have used it 5 times with some issues. I have been in contact with the rep and followed the instructions she had sent us. The cleaner was not following any pattern at all so she told us to reset the machine. Did that and now that has helped with a pattern it's following. The part that is not working is the machine picks up the sand but when pulling the machine out of the water, alot of it goes right back in the pool. Seems to be a bad design with the rubber flap. Waiting on a response from her on this issue. We also cannot get it synced with our phone. This seems to be the biggest complaint from customers. Lastly, I also found out that they do not have spare parts available yet. She said that if it is still under warranty, send it back and they will send a new one. I bought this Jan 2024. It's a great price but with my concerns, it may be going back for a refund. What brand/model would you recommend for a cordless, full pool cleaning under $500?

Despite not having a pool and not needing one I was enthralled by the review

Excellent testing of cordless robotic pool cleaners. Hopefully batteries hold up.

I have a question, you do some great reviews and products…… I have looked but not found one, did you cover solar rope lighting? I know it’s not pool robots, but I have looked and didn’t find where to ask a different question. Thanks for the good show. 👍

Been looking at the ones for hot spas

Slow down or ease up on the coffee my friend! 😂 Excellent video though I had to slow playback down to catch so much valuable information. Thanks!

I have a Dolphin that I've mostly been happy with but it's corded. My next robot will be one of the cordless ones, so great review, I'll be paying attention to your cordless pool robot reviews for when it's time to replace mine ;)

I have an older Hoover that works remarkable well under water.

Great work as usual! Small request: please convert meaningless mAh (we don’t know the voltage!) into Wh for the battery capacity :)

I have the dolphion Bio which costs around 2000 dollars and it's not climbing my walls 😢 but granted in natural swimming ponds the walls and floor are super slippery due to the algae growing on the surfaces.

Could you please do a review now on the robotic pool skimmers?

Hi, I have a Polly Pool and what do you think any of them can climb the wall in such a pool? Thank you so much for the video.

This is the weirdest comparison video ever… I love it

one issue i see with Seauto Seal SE is that there are no replacement parts or filter replacements and it for some reason it says in the description for the robot: "automatically docks to power up in as little as 3.5 hours" does it have a dock? I don't see any kind of dock.

Great review and leaning on Seauto Shark. Wondering how much is the replacement battery cost and how many cycles can you use it for or long will last. Thanks

I feel like just brush the steps onto the floor of the pool before putting in robot. Tops take you 2 mins to do. Good video!

what about fiberglass inground pools, does the slick walls defeat the cleaners climbing ability?

Based on your review I purchased the shark SE. I loved it. Super easy to use, no cords. Unfortunately it only lasted 2 days, not the unit is unresponsive.

@TheHookUp The coverage maps you created are fantastic. How are you able to retain the trails/paths vs just a time-lapse? I purchased the Seauto Shark and unfortunately don't have nearly the same results you did and am working with tech support. Thanks!

Can you get an extra battery for any of these?

How about the charging time, or did I actually miss it

Wish a gold standard wired pool robot was included for comparison. I doubt any of these can match a wired robot which doesn’t cost that much more.

My pool is very similar and my Seauto is arriving today. Given that the wall only mode covered better thank the all surface mode and covered almost all the floor do you recommend that mode? 2:30

Not shilling for Hayward here but my suction-side AquaNaut has nearly never left the pool in its 8yrs. Only thing I’ve replaced is its rubber “tires” for ~$20. Can’t comment on its cleaning ability compared to one of these but I never have to clean a basket, recharge it, remember to put it in or pull it out, battery (& runtime) degradation, etc. Pool maintenance is already a never ending chore; why add one more to the list?

I almost hate my Polaris 280 boost pump driven robot enough to swap it for one of these. It seems like something is always broken (wheel, spring, bag, wall connection, etc) or tangled (cord, goggles). And the boost pump required to run it is loud. Thanks for making this video -- Gives me some really helpful insights.

Have you done any vacuums for above ground pool in the larger 28 ft or the square above ground pools?

I have an M400 that has trouble climbing walls of fiberglass pool and rarely does the water line like it should water chemistry is fine no slime on the walls what is the best model for being able to climb stairs and do the waterline of a fiberglass pool?

Kinda confused , what’s battery replacement mean ???? Don’t you recharge units after use?

I wish I would have known this was in the works. Just bought a Dolphin (corded) and it seems ok, but our irregular shaped kidney bean pool seems to mess with the angles when it is working. Curious if pool vac vids will become a staple like the IP cameras so we can look forward to the corded vacs and the remote skimmer only vacs? Do you publish any kind of coming soon list?

I'd be curious to compare these against units from better known brands like Polaris and Dolphin Nautilus.

I wish someone would do which one cleans a pebble tec pool the best

FYI: I appreciated the thoroughness of your video and wanted to use your links for helping me out, but your top two picks are unavailable. The Seauto comes up unavailable and the Airrobo comes up page not found. I appreciate your video though and plan on trying the Seauto per your recommendation.

At the time of writing this, the seauto and airobo are the same price. Would you recommend the airobo at this time because of the similar price point?

Now THIS is a review.

Unfortunately your top recommendations are either unavailable or at much higher pricing. Great video.

just wow.

Is the seauto se the same as the seauto crab? The link is not pulling up the same one on your video

I have an above ground pool and I was thinking of getting one of these. I’m getting older and vacuuming has become a bit problematic for me. After seeing this vid I’ve come to the conclusion that these things are more of a hassle than they’re worth. I’ll be bothering my son to do the vacuuming now.

how did you draw those coverage tracks?

I have the Seauto seal se and have one ? Where do you get the replacement sponge filter??

Where can i buy the parts of Seauto Seal? Like the belt and battery
