Pool owners and experts have spoken. Based on hours of testing in the test pool and thousands of robotic pool cleaner reviews from pool owners, Poolbots has released the 2023 list of the top performing robots. Each entry has its own detailed rating and review.
This year we captured a ton of debris and emptied dozens of robotic pool cleaners and found that not every robot measures up to our leaf, debris, and algae tests. We took the robotic pool cleaners in our line-up for real-world tests in a pool with various types of leaves, debris and even acorns.
As we dropped each cleaner in, we evaluated the ability to pick up varying types of debris. We evaluated the ability to climb the wall and clean the waterline. We noted he ease of cleaning the filters, and the ability of the cord to remain tangle-free for multiple cycles. We found that the best robotic pool cleaners did each of those extremely well.
The first thing to understand when shopping for a robotic pool cleaner is how manufacturers set pricing and feature sets. The entry level robotic pool cleaners are stripped down versions, often with important core features removed. For example, robots under $1,000 do not have the ability to clean the waterline. The tile at the waterline is normally one of the dirtiest areas in a pool. A robot's effectiveness depends on many factors, such as the suction power and the width of their vacuum path. We found that robots with more motors, wider vacuum paths and larger inlets took less time to do the job.
The waterline, sometimes called the tileline, is where debris, algae and bacteria may grow if not cleaned on a regular basis. A robot that leaves this area untouched defeats the purpose of having a pool robot. Robots must have special software, sensors and motors to adhere to and clean the area just above and below the tileline. Robots sold at lower price points, normally those under $1000, do not have the ability to clean the waterline.
Make sure your robot specifically lists "waterline cleaning" in addition to the typical wall cleaning. Otherwise, you'll need to clean the waterline and tile area the old fashioned way, with a brush.
Get the anti-tangle swivel. You'll thank us later. Twisted and tangled cables used to come with the territory of owning a pool cleaner. Luckily, most robotic pool cleaners now have a genuine 360 degree anti-tangle swivel. It's one of the greatest engineering achievements ever. Without a swivel, you'll spend way too much time detangling the power cord. When the power cord becomes a tangled mess, performance and efficiency both go downhill. Based on user reviews, a tangled cable is one of the leading complaints when there is no swivel on the robot.
Does your pool get a lot of leaves and debris? Dolphin Premier has the answer with Multi-Media. Rated as the Best Dolphin Pool Robot, you can choose the right media for the job. Want to clean fine debris and algae that passes through other pool cleaners? Choose MicroFilter. Need to pick up a bushel of leaves? Go oversided leaf bag.
The filter capacity is very important, especially if your pool is in an area near trees. You don't want to have to stop what you're doing every 30 minutes to empty a bag full of leaves and debris. Some robots like the Dolphin Premier have a large oversized bag that holds significant more debris than any cartridge filter. This is a very desirable feature if your pool collects a lot of leaves.
There are two types of propulsion that move robotic cleaners through the water: 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive and tracks. The best design for ultimate traction is the track. The contact surface of a track is much greater than even four wheels. The result is greater traction and improved efficiency. When a cleaner's wheel is spinning in place, efficiency is going to suffer.
Robotic pool cleaner repairs can be expensive. The average cost of a replacement motor is $425 with labor. A power supply will set you back at least $200. You want a cleaner with a three year warranty. Period. The cost of warranty repairs can be a shock for pool owners as some repairs end up being 50% of the robot's value. Pool robots have a hard life. There's water, sun, chlorine and a dozen other chemicals. Read a few robotic pool cleaner reviews and you'll notice that they'll need repairs from time to time. Premium robots have a 3 year warranty and you'll save enough money after one under warranty repair to cover the difference between a Premium and entry level robot. Protect your investment with the maximum warranty of 3 years.

Pool Cleaning can be hard. Algae, bacteria, debris, dirt, bugs, leaves, and twigs can make maintaining a pool a hassle. With a robotic pool cleaner, you can let it do the work for you. Today, we dive in and see if a robotic pool cleaner can really clean your pool. Is it worth the investment?
Like the previous models in its line, the Dolphin M600's array of competitive features are hurt by its limited availability and inflated price tag.
The Triton PS robotic pool cleaner is reliable and effective. But it's a few features shy of a premium robotic pool cleaner. Watch this in-depth review of the Dolphin Triton PS to see if its reliability makes up for its modest capabilities.
The Dolphin S200 has some impressive features, but its inflated price and pool-store-only availability sets it back behind the competition.
The Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme can't justify its high price tag when compared to other high end robotic pool cleaners from Maytronics that provide the same deep level of clean in your pool with the same technology.
The Nautilus CC has been popular for years, but how does it stand up to modern designs? From cleaning the floors and walls to top-loading filtration, it still has some chops. But it sinks next to the competition.
The Nautilus CC Plus is the most popular unit from the Nautilus line of pool cleaners. But its missing features such as waterline cleaning and ultra-fine filters when compared to competing models like the Dolphin Sigma and Dolphin Premier.
The Nautilus CC Plus is the most popular unit from the Nautilus line of pool cleaners. But its features are lacking when compared with competing models like the Dolphin Sigma and Dolphin Premier.
The Dolphin Nautilus CC a popular unit from the Maytronic's Dolphin Nautilus line of pool cleaners. However, the Nautilus CC lacks in comparison to units such as the Dolphin Quantum and Dolphin Premier.
Although the Dolphin M400 boasts waterline cleaning, multiple filter options, and remote app control, its price and limited availability hold it back from being truly competitive with other premium robotic pool cleaners.
For a few more bucks, you can get a lot more power, programmable timer, better performance, and better warranty without a huge restocking fee! Check out our recommendations below!
The Dolphin E10 from Maytronics is a popular choice for an above ground pool cleaner. But don't be caught missing features you may want for your pool, especially if you have a larger above ground or in-ground pool. Not to mention avoiding hefty restocking fees.
Struggle with leaves, twigs, and algae in your pool? Look no further than the flagship Maytronics pool cleaner, the Dolphin Premier. With Multi-Media Filtration, you get not one, not two, but four media type options. From an Oversized Leaf Bag to an Ultrafine Filter, the Premier can do it all.
For an affordable robotic pool cleaner, the Dolphin Cayman has a ton of features you'd find on units that cost twice as much. From wall-climbing to active scrubbing, see how the Cayman performs beyond its price tag.
Get a healthier clean for your pool. The Aquabot X4 robotic pool cleaner circulates up to 85 gallons of water per minute and filters debris down to 2 microns. See how the X4 can keep your swimming pool water cleaner, fresher, and less reliant on harsh chemicals.
The newest robotic pool cleaner from Aquabot is a hit. The Aquabot X2 is the best performing robotic pool cleaner we have ever seen in this price range. The X2 is great if you have a small in-ground or an above ground pool. Packed with great features and a 2 year warranty, the X2 competes with several other robotic pool cleaners such as Maytronics Dolphin and Polaris units.
UPDATE: This product has since been discontinued by the manufacturer. We recommend the Dolphin Escape as an alternative if you are looking for an above-ground cleaner. Looking for an affordable choice for your above ground pool? Take a closer look at the Aquabot Pool Rover Junior robotic pool cleaner. With non-abrasive wheels and a powerful vacuum, this little cleaner can free up more time for you to actually enjoy your pool instead of clean it.
The New Aquabot Elite Pro is one of the best and newest robotic pool cleaners from Aquabot. Equipped with a gyroscope, 3 motors, dual high capacity filters, and so much more, the Aquabot Elite Pro makes pool cleaning a breeze.
With IQ in the name, it has to be smart, right? See how the Aquabot Breeze IQ really performs at cleaning waterlines, underwater coverage, and filtering debris.
At first glance, the Aiper 600 looks like a great robotic pool cleaner. That is, until you get it in the water. Its poor performance and poor warranty has customers complaining after days of use. So we put it to the test.
The Aiper Smart Cordless Automatic Pool Cleaner looks great on paper. When put to the test, it can't compete with other true robotic pool cleaners such as the Dolphin Escape. We cannot recommend it, as it is not worth the investment.
