Original review:
Our pool is open year-round because we live in Houston. Many of our trees drop their leaves in January and February so for us, it is currently in early March 2025, we just had an active time of fresh leaves falling into the pool that still needs cleaning on the surface and on the bottom. We have been using this for 48 hours.
The thing we are disappointed in is it we thought you could control this with the app, but there is no Wi-Fi connectivity when it is under the water, which is where it is most of the time. I just reread all of the product information to make sure what the claims were compared to reality, and if you read very carefully, you will see that multiple functions can only be performed and commanded if the device is on the surface of the water, which is rare. Only one time has it come to the surface when it was at 9% battery for a recharge.
The device when dry and empty is heavy and when it is underwater and filled with debris, it is very difficult to get out of the pool due to the heavy weight. It must be removed from the pool to empty the debris and to charge it.
It mapped the pool into a shape a bit different than reality. It also has not done an even cleaning on the sides (which currently have dead algae on it) so you can also visually see where it ran up and down the sides and where it has not.
Comparing to Dolphin: In 2022 we purchased a Dolphin, it is temperamental, it is okay. It does a good job at bottom cleaning but we have a need for surface cleaning for the heavy pollen and the flower petals and small oak leaves that like to float on the surface. A problem is it tends to go to one corner of the pool and it just stays there, doing an incomplete and insufficient job. We were still looking for solutions, so...
In October 2024, we ordered the BeatBot i-skim ultra because we really liked the way that it could skim and that it was cordless. So we were running both the Dolphin for the bottom and sides and the i-skim for the surface cleaning since October 2024. BUT the Dolphin cord bunches up and gets in the way of the surface cleaning BeatBot i-skim ultra. So…we were still looking fir more options, this we could not resist trying this new BeatBot so we could switch to just one unit to use for all the jobs: surface, sides, and bottom.
If we figure anything out that is different or see anything else of note I will edit this review with dates for clarity of the experience.
The AquaSense 2 Ultra will vacuum the pool floor, walls, waterline and also skim the pool surface. It uses their app which is available at the Apple app site. You can program a cleaning via the buttons on the robot or the app, it does not lose the internet connection and does an unbelievable job. The vac has no problem moving up and down the pool floor and does an amazing job vacuuming the floor, walls and waterline, the photo shows how high it travels out of the water to scrub the tile at the water line. This model did pick up all debris thought there wasn't much as I vacuumed the pool the prior day. It did pick up some grit like fine sand as the pool was just recently resurfaced. In addition to vacuuming and skimming the surface the AquaSense 2 Ultra will also dispense clarifier at the push of a button. The clarifier cartridge comes with the unit. Also included is a hook to retrieve the vac, it can be attached to a standard pool pole (not included.) Instructions are straight forward, nothing is complex or tricky to get the vacuum up and running.
Charging took about 90 minutes, wait until the green light is solid, not flashing for a full charge, the app will also show the charge %. It vacuumed the pool floor and walls yesterday running for 176 minutes, that's almost 3 hours (the app shows how long it vacs).
I will add an update when I have the skimmer in action, currently there is nothing of the water's surface.
As a Vine member I did not pay for the product; never-the-less my review is unbiased.
The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra in its striking Ice Blue is not just a pool cleaner; it's a technological marvel that promises to liberate you from the drudgery of pool maintenance. After weeks of testing in my complex, oddly shaped pool, I'm ready to share my in-depth experience.
First Impressions & Setup:
Unboxing the AquaSense 2 Ultra felt like unwrapping a premium gadget. The robot itself is sleek and robust, and the included charging dock is equally well-constructed. Setting it up was surprisingly straightforward. The instructions were excellent and it required minimal assembly The initial pool mapping using the AI camera was a bit nerve-wracking as I didn't know what to expect, but the robot navigated my pool's curves and steps with impressive accuracy.
Performance: It's A Cleaning Powerhouse!
5-in-1 Cleaning Mastery:
This isn't just a bottom-dweller. The AquaSense 2 Ultra tackles the walls, waterline, and even the water surface with aplomb. The dedicated surface cleaning mode is a revelation, scooping up leaves and debris before they sink.
The water clarification feature, while subtle, did contribute to a noticeable improvement in water clarity over time.
AI-Powered Mapping & Navigation:
The AI camera and mapping are the stars of the show. The robot intelligently cleans every nook and cranny, avoiding obstacles and ensuring comprehensive coverage. It handles my pool's complex shape with far greater efficiency than previous robotic cleaners I've used.
It also is very good at moving around obstacles such as pool stairs, and toys that may be left in the pool.
Powerful Suction & Filtration:
The suction power is formidable, effortlessly picking up leaves, debris, and even fine silt. The dual filtration system effectively traps particles, leaving the water sparkling.
Smart Surface Parking:
The convenience of the robot automatically returning to the waterline for easy retrieval is a game-changer. No more fishing around the deep end!
Cordless Freedom:
Being cordless is a huge plus. No tangled cables, and no need to worry about power outlets near the pool.
Pros:
Exceptional Cleaning Performance: Comprehensive cleaning across all pool surfaces.
Intelligent AI Mapping & Navigation: Handles complex pools with ease.
5-in-1 Functionality: Versatile cleaning modes for all pool needs.
Powerful Suction & Filtration: Effective debris removal.
Smart Surface Parking: Convenient retrieval.
Cordless Design: Untethered freedom.
High-Quality Build: Durable and well-engineered.
Water surface cleaning is a huge plus.
Cons:
Price: This is a premium product with a premium price tag.
Initial Mapping Time: The initial mapping process can take a while, especially for larger pools.
Occasional Missed Spots: While generally thorough, it occasionally misses small areas, especially in very tight corners.
App can be improved: while functional, the app could be more user friendly. I do love how you can manually control the robot with the app if you want to get that stray leaf or dirty spot without cleaning the entire pool.
Weight: When removing the unit from the pool, it is somewhat heavy.
Final Verdict:
The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is a significant investment, but for pool owners seeking the ultimate cleaning solution, it's worth every penny!!! Its AI-powered mapping, 5-in-1 functionality, and cordless design make it a standout performer. While the price and occasional minor hiccups are worth noting, the overall performance and convenience are undeniable. If you're tired of pool maintenance and want a robot that truly delivers, the AquaSense 2 Ultra is a top contender. I highly recommend it for those with complex pools, and those who want the best automated cleaning experience possible.
Setting up the app on you cell phone and connect the units WiFi was simple and straight forward, with no issues. The unit has four modes of cleaning: Floor, Standard (floor, walls & waterline), Pro mode (does everything standard, plus the surface) or define a custom routine. For the first run, I went with Standard mode.
You then place the unit on a level surface for about 5 seconds, select the cleaning mode you want and it ready to go in the water. The unit took about 2 minutes to dive to the bottom of the pool. Once it is under the water, it loses connectivity to WiFi and you have to wait till it is on the surface to change the settings.
The first thing it does is to go all around the pool’s walls, touching the walls a bunch of times as it worked its way around the pool. I assume it was mapping the shape of the pool. The unit then went to work cleaning the bottom of the pool, working back and forth the long way. When it finished with the bottom, it then climbs the walls until it was partially out of the water, cleaning the walls and the tiles at the water line. It even climbs onto the steps and cleans them. When it was all done. It parked itself on the surface and I got a notification on the phone via the app. Looking at the app (see pic) it shows feet cleaned, time it took, a "map" of the pool with the path it used. It also shows the charge state of the unit.
Once I took it out of the pool, the voice command told me to wash out the filter basket. After cleaning the basket, the unit had drained, and I put on the charger. It did a good job at cleaning the pool and I really like the fact that it does the walls and waterline. They supply a hook to retrieve the unit from the pool in case the battery dies. The hook attaches to a standard pool pole.
The unit is not cheap, but it reduces the running time of the pool pump, you don't have the hose that connects to the old fashion creeper and you can run it overnight, so the pool is ready the next morning. In my opinion an exceptional unit!
CLEANING PERFORMANCE Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra: Its 5-in-1 cleaning capabilities (surfaces, waterline, floors, walls, and even water clarification) are impressive. The AI mapping feature generally covers the entire pool without missing a spot, but I noticed that it sometimes struggled in very tight corners. The AI Cruise Debris Detection is great for locating debris, but occasionally misses smaller particles, especially fine sand.
Among the officially advertised technical features, it comes with an AI camera, dual TOF sensors, and ultrasonic technology AI mapping sounds futuristic, and for the most part, it works well. However, the AI features can sometimes overcomplicate simple cleaning tasks by unnecessarily recalculating paths.The ClearWater water purification system is a nice touch, though its effectiveness varies depending on pool size and debris type.
Secondly the product's app is user-friendly, but it would have been nice to offer more robust connectivity - though it disconnects after going into underwater work. The filter is simple to clean, though the dust bin fills up quickly if there is a lot of leaf debris in the pool.
Price:
It is definitely on the high side for the price. While it offers advanced features and consistent performance, I can't ignore the fact that others offer decent features at a lower price. If you're tech-savvy and like smart features, then it's worth the investment. But if you just want to do basic pool cleaning without all the fiddly features, then the cheaper options may be more cost-effective.
Final Thoughts.
If you value smart features and advanced technology, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is definitely the way to go. It has made my pool maintenance much easier, but it's not without its quirks. If you have a small, simple pool, you probably don't need all the high-tech features.
The robot is large - probably a little larger than the original Aquasense - but a new camera and edge brushes have been added to it. It is still fairly simple to use and you simply take it out of its charging cradle and slip it in the water. The robot will submerge much like a submarine does by sucking in water as ballast. This beatbot version seems a whole lot more methodical in its approach. The previous version cleaned very well and has served us very well, but this one follows a very intentional zig-zag pattern as shown in the app picture. The first time out it managed to wedge itself very well between the table and bench, but I have since added a couple concrete blocks to keep it out of that corner. I wish I could create a virtual wall like floor cleaning robots, but since the pool robots don't have a standard point of reference, they wouldn't know where that would be every time. I didn't notice that the robot now uses a headlight when running after dark which I had never seen before.
Once the robot is finished, it will surface and dock by the edge. Full of water this robot is a little heavy, but not to bad to drag over the side. The filter picks up very fine particles and the suction will actually pull in small branches as well. Cleaning the basket is easy with a hose and doesn't have too many nooks and crannies for things to get stuck. The new edge cleaning brushes come into play when it is cleaning the surface, which was a liability for the previous models, but these fix the skimming problem they had before. It did a very good job picking up floating debris and actually has a remote function on the app to help it.
Overall, this is an extremely nice pool robot and is priced accordingly. I can honestly say that Beatbot is at the top of the robots for ease of use and functionality. I have had experience with their technical support in the past and they made software updates to my robot over the internet without me sending it in, which is a huge plus in my book. I can't see how anyone would be disappointed with this robot.
The original one performed flawlessly with absolutely no problems so we were confident that the new unit would be the same.
This newest version has a lot of sensory enhancements over the previous model. It also has additional propellers, side brushes, and side rollers.
We've been really impressed with how thoroughly it cleans the pool. It picks up large debris as well as the very fine stuff. The double mesh basket really catches everything. We really like the additions of the side brushes as well.
This new unit is slightly larger than the previous one. We've Had absolutely no regrets getting rid of the polaris pool cleaner with the hose and booster setup.
It's really amazing watching this thing clean and even climbing up the sides of the pool and even scrubbing the tiles above the water line! Check it out in my video.
The entire thing is extremely easy to set up. The quick start guide is really simple, and the app works great. And the new one even talks to you!
This new unit came with everything including the cover, retrieval hook and even the clarifying cartridge. Personally we've never had a problem with cloudy water so I don't think the clarifying feature will be needed in our case, not regularly at least.
When we got the first Beatbot cleaner, my wife was concerned about having to haul the unit out of the pool, clean the basket and put it back on its charging stand. She now readily admits that it's much less hassle than dealing with the old Polaris cleaner. And... no more hoses!
As to maintenance, we've had to do none on the previous unit with a little over a year's worth of use.
I was curious how the silicone scrubbing Brushes would hold up and was also curious how well the fine mesh screens in the basket would hold up.
Neither of these items show any wear at all after over a year's use.
We couldn't be happier with the performance and reliability of this pool cleaner.
The Beatbot can clean pools with an area up to 320 square meters (3,444 square feet) in a single cycle. Larger pools can be cleaned but will require additional cycles. The swimming pool robot will capture debris of all sizes, including leaves, hair, sand and insects. It can filter particles as small as 150 micrometers.
The AquaSense 2 Ultra can work in a depth range of 1.31 to 9.84 ft. While most pool cleaning robots cannot clean steps, the AquaSense Ultra can clean steps if the steps are wide enough to support cleaning operations and the water depth on the steps is greater than 0.98 ft. It will clean the corners of your pool as well.
If your robot is on a full charge, it can operate to ten hours continuous runtime for surface cleaning, to five hours continuous runtime for floor cleaning and also to four point five hours continuous runtime for walls + waterline cleaning.
Charging time is four and one half hours. The AquaSense 2 Ultra supports dual connectivity: 5G/2.4G WiFi or 2.4G Bluetooth. The unit can be controlled with an app but only when operating on the water surface.
AquaSense 2 Ultra features a dual side brush system that precisely sweeps surface debris toward the suction inlet.
This model is an upgrade form the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro. Which one is right for you and how do you decide? Well, here are some key feature differences. The Ultra is only slightly heavier and slightly bigger than the Pro. The Ultra has AI Cruise Debris Detection and AI Independent Multi-Platforms Cleaning while the Pro does not have these features. The Ultra also has the benefit of eleven motors vs. the Pro's nine motors. Similar to most products, the advanced model will provide you with additional features but both models get the job done for you.
This Ultra model also includes a nice genuine dust and waterproof cover for keeping your robot protected from the elements. This is most definitely a top of the line pool cleaner. Your pool is a significant investment. The investment in a robotic pool cleaner will keep your pool clean and save you from doing the manual labour of having to clean the pool.
Installing and pairing it with the App went smoothly, and it did a firmware update once I put it on the charging stand. This unit will communicate in either 5g or 2.4g wifi which is good because our wifi signal outdoors is stronger on the 5g band.
The build quality seems very good, solid but a little heavy. Everything came well packaged and organized. There’s a quick start guide, and a thorough manual included. The unit's 13,400 mAh battery takes about 4.5 hours to charge and can do lighter jobs such as skimming for approximately 10 hours, floors and walls it will last about 3 hours. Beatbot suggests that on a full charge you can clean about 3400 square feet which is more than I will need.
According to Beatbot, the robot automatically parks above the water surface when cleaning is complete or the battery is low, and SmartDrain automatically releases water for lighter retrieval. You can also call it back anytime when it’s on the surface with the one-touch app return parking. This is a great feature, you're not going to have to fish the cleaner out from the bottom of the pool if the battery drains.
The cost of this miracle worker seems high but it has a lot of great features, so it might be worth the investment. Compared to higher end Robotic Mowers it’s about on par. There’s a 3 year full replacement warranty so Beatbot stands behind their products.
What’s included:
The AquaSense 2 Ultra comes with everything you need for seamless operation: the robotic pool cleaner itself, a charging dock, clarifying agent kit, side brushes, and various accessories. It also includes a genuine dust and water-proof cover and a user-friendly guide to get you started right away.
One of the standout features of the AquaSense 2 Ultra is its HybridSense AI Mapping system. This technology combines an AI camera with dual TOF sensors, infrared, and ultrasonic technology to provide ultra-precise navigation and obstacle detection. It ensures that every inch of your pool is covered, and you can monitor its path through the app for total control. No more missed spots or inefficient cleaning—this system guarantees full coverage.
The AquaSense 2 Ultra offers 5-in-1 cleaning, covering the surface, waterline, walls, floor, and even clarifying the water. The powerful submarine propulsion system ensures effortless cleaning for both inground and above-ground pools. It truly simplifies pool maintenance by tackling all aspects of cleaning in one go.
Once cleaning is complete, or the battery runs low, the AquaSense 2 Ultra automatically parks above the water surface. The SmartDrain function then releases water, making retrieval lighter and easier. You can also call it back to the surface with a single tap on the app. This thoughtful feature eliminates the hassle of heavy lifting or fishing out the robot manually.
So far it seem very user-friendly and they provide a nice booklet with all the images and instruction you need. Connecting the Beatbot to the app was also smooth. The instructions were clear, and the connection process was straightforward, with no difficulties. The Beatbot App significantly enhanced the product usage experience like the ability of scheduling cleaning sessions, monitoring environmental and water temperatures, and receiving cleaning data and updates from your smartphone. You can also control your bot through the app so you can bring him closer to the edge of the pool when needed.
The fact that this is an all natural cleaner is huge. Salt water pools are becoming more common, the less chemicals, the better. As long as your salt water pool is under 5000 PPM, you’re free to use this machine. In the new world, AI is taking over, and this Aquasense 2 is following suit being the “world’s first robotic pool cleaner, with water surface parking.” It also maps the areas out and creates restricted areas, if need be. It has 4 guided wheels for precise cleaning and if you have stairs in your pool, this Beatbot can clean them, depending on the width. This pool cleaner can also be used for an in ground, or above ground pool and it covers up to 3444 square feet. If you do have a larger pool, it may require more time to clean but luckily the charging time is only 4 and a half hours. It’s battery life is also 4 hours. Another notable mention is, there is an app available to control the machine while it’s in the water. The app provides battery life, cleaning mode options and so much more.
To be honest, I’ve never seen anything like this. I wanted to get the opinion from someone who owns a pool, on their experiences with their pool cleaners. They were overwhelmed when they saw this one. They said the average life span of their “average” pool cleaner was a year, and for a hefty price too. They said after some time, their machine wasn’t filtering correctly and was instead holding the dirt inside causing it to break. Since the Beatbot has the “smart drain” feature which automatically releases water, there likely wouldn’t be that machine damaging build up. This Beatbot also has advanced coating technology to prevent sun exposure/damage. They also guarantee a three year full replacement warranty, which to me seems that they stand strongly behind their product. I enjoyed learning all about this Beatbot and look forward to trying it in the summer months. I understand the sticker cost may stun you, however I really do believe this machine is worth it. It’s new technology, hands free, and arrives with a full warranty to back you up.
Although it is impossible to provide photos of the unit in operation due to the time of year,(Feb 26/25), I will return to this review later in the year to provide a complete update on real world results.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (Rounding up to 5 stars)
I recently had the opportunity to evaluate the Aquasense 2 Ultra from Beatbot. This thing is loaded with tech, and will make cleaning the pool.. enjoyable! In this review, I'll share as much details as I can and highlight its pros and cons at this time.
Here is my comprehensive product survey:
PROS:
- Are any necessary tools, accessories, or components included?: Yes, all the accessories were included. Even a nice cover.
- Are the contents of the box well-organized and easy to identify?: Yes, the packaging is well done and organized.
- Does the packaging provide clear and accurate product information?: Yes, reading the box you know what it is. It's almost understated what's in the box.
- Is the item well-protected during shipping to prevent damage?: Yes, everything was well packaged and protected.
- Are the materials resistant to wear and tear (e.g., rustproof metals, weatherproof plastics)?: Yes it seems that all components are premium quality. There are spare parts that are the spinning cleaner brush things.
- Are there any noticeable defects, like loose parts, scratches, or uneven finishes?: Nope. Perfect condition.
- Do the assembled parts work well together?: Yes, everything that is supposed to move does so with tight tolerance and precision. The basket and flap to the tank tracks etc. All tight actions. Well made.
- Does the product feel durable and well-constructed?: Yes. It's heavy and solid. Nothing to indicate anything but premium unit.
- Does the product have a nice finish? Aesthetically pleasing?: Yes, it's an excellent finish, smooth and a deep blueish grey. Very nice.
- Is the size and weight appropriate for the product function?: It's about the same size as other pool cleaners. Very solid unit.
- Are there any additional features that add value or enhance usability?: Yes, this is the ultra version, which is the 5 in 1 AI bot. Loads of technology with the scanners and sensors and image processing. It's a busy bot.
- Are there any significant limitations or flaws in its design?: Not really, but battery or WiFi signal can potentially cause small limitations of usage.
- Does it require specific conditions (e.g., battery power, weather conditions) to operate optimally?: Water.
- Does the product perform its intended function effectively?: It's a bad winter and cannot fully test all functionality. I will as soon as possible and update if required. This brand is rated very high and I've seen videos of them. Very impressive.
- How does the product perform in real-world scenarios or under stress?: From the videos I've seen they perform very well. I will test once we thaw.
- What is the battery power and longevity like? (Large capacity, Fast charging? Fast discharge? Voltage out?): The ultra edition has a huge 13.4 Ah battery for about 4.5 hours of normal use.
- Are there clear instructions or guidance provided (e.g., manuals, setup guides)?: Yes.
- Does it deliver a satisfying overall experience for its intended audience?: Yes. I love robots. I also have a vacuum for the house. Great devices. Same concept here, but a smart submarine-tank-vac.
- Is the product intuitive and user-friendly to operate?: Yup, charge it. Drop it in water. Control settings from the app. Rinse and repeat.
- Does the product offer features or quality that justify its price point?: It's bigger capacity, and other included sensors and controls gives dome merit, but it's still very expensive.
- How does it compare to similar products in the same category?: This is a premium product. There aren't too many with this much tech.
- Would you consider it a good investment for its cost?(One-time use vs. long term use): Long term investment for your other massive investment.
- Are replacement parts or accessories readily available if needed?: I'm not sure, but it seems like you can get some parts.
- Does the warranty or guarantee provide reasonable coverage and support?: There is a 3year warranty.
- Are there any discounts or promotions?: Yes, there is a 10% discount.
- Is the product easy to clean, maintain, or care for over time?: Seems to be yeah.
- Are there any safety concerns?: I can't think of any.
- Is it reliable over time, or do you notice any performance issues?: Not yet. No indication online otherwise either.
CONS:
- Is the material quality appropriate for the price range?: Wow, it's expensive to be made from all plastic. It better be special plastic. But what else do you make it from?
- Are there any areas where the product feels overpriced or underwhelming?: It's very expensive. Even compared to other versions that are close in most functions is half the price.
After thoroughly assessing the Beatbot aquasense 2 Ultra, I can provide a comprehensive assessment. At a price point of $4,758.00, I believe this product offers excellent functionality, but it is very highly priced. This will likely deter some from this investment, but there is a lot going on under the hood. This is cutting edge stuff that can keep you safe WHILE it cleans. Overall, I highly recommend the Beatbot aquasense 2 Ultra for anyone looking for a quality product in this category. It performs exceptionally well and should meet the needs of most users with all the different intelligent modes.
This robot cleans everything: the floor, walls, waterline, and even the pool surface. The skimming function is especially impressive, thanks to side brushes that effectively push floating debris into the basket. Unlike previous models, it holds debris better during operation, so less escapes when the unit moves. It also has a built-in water clarification system, which helps settle fine particles for better filtration.
The AI-powered mapping system is a major selling point. It uses a combination of sensors and an onboard camera to detect obstacles and plan efficient cleaning routes. In theory, this should make it smarter than the competition, but in practice, the AI can be overly cautious. It sometimes spends too much time in one area, repeatedly passing over the same spot before moving on. While this ensures thorough cleaning, it can be frustrating if you're expecting a quick, full-pool clean.
The robot handles most pool surfaces well but has some trouble with steep ledges and steps. Unlike last year’s models, which climbed automatically, this version requires you to manually activate "Multi-Zone Mode" in the app if you want it to scale tanning ledges or high walls. Given the price, it would be nice if this adjustment happened automatically.
Battery life is strong, offering up to 5 hours of floor cleaning or 10 hours of surface skimming. The included wireless charging dock is a great feature—no exposed ports means no risk of water damage—but it does take about 4.5 hours to fully charge. A wired option might have been faster, but the trade-off for durability is understandable.
The app is useful when it works, allowing you to adjust cleaning modes, check battery life, and even manually steer the robot like an RC car when it’s floating. However, once the cleaner is fully submerged, the connection often drops, meaning you can’t change settings mid-cycle. This is a common issue with underwater robotics, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Retrieving the robot is easy thanks to "Smart Surface Parking," which brings it to the edge of the pool when the battery is low. It also drains water before removal, making it lighter to lift. The debris basket, while effective, is on the smaller side (4L), so if you have a heavily leaf-covered pool, expect to empty it more often.
If you want the most premium, all-in-one robotic pool cleaner and don’t mind the price, the AquaSense 2 Ultra delivers excellent cleaning performance with high-end features. It’s especially great for pools that get a lot of floating debris. However, the AI can feel a little too persistent in one area if you stare at the robot, the app loses connectivity underwater (this is almost unavoidable), and climbing requires manual intervention in the app. Given the price, these quirks stand out more than they should, but the build quality and warranty justify the cost. If budget isn’t a concern and you want top-tier automation, this is one of the best options.
The bigger battery makes for longer cleaning time on the "multi-zone" setting.
The mapping is much improved on the latest software update. None of the mapping options on any of the cleaners has worked very well in my pool but this one is by far the best. I guess I have a difficult pool. I always run them on the "multi-zone" setting anyway. I'll either set it for 2 hours or max depending on the condition of the pool. One thing I find that I don't ever use is the skimming feature. To me it just doesn't work all that great. I have a solar skimmer that runs 24/7 so that's not a big deal.
You can just look at this thing, pick it up and tell it's a quality piece of equipment. There's a 30 minute video on YouTube of I guy tearing down an AquaSense Pro and was amazed at the build quality.
The light feature on this cleaner is amazing. When it's dark the light will come on and you can watch it steering towards any debris on the bottom. A truly awesome machine.
If one of these or the lower models are in your budget I'd say you cant go wrong with Beatbot.
Original review: I ordered this Beatbot Aquasense 2 Ultra Vacuum at the recommendation of our neighbour who got a similar one last year! It is wintertime in Canada so I will write my review based on first impressions of the unit and the app, and will update in the summer.
Overall, I’m so happy with all the features of it! I’ve seen another Beatbot pool vaccum climb the walls and it’s mind boggling. It really does an excellent job at cleaning the bottom and the sides of the pool. Our pool is just under 600 sq feet and I’m sure it will do a great job cleaning it. Our neighbours is a similar size, and it takes about 90 mins to do his, but it depends on how often you’re cleaning and how dirty the pool is.
I really like the rubber wheels on it, they are robust and will do a good job cleaning the liner. Everything is so sleek, the unit, accessories and even the bag that comes with it! I can’t wait to see it clean the wall, floor and waterline of the pool.
The app is fantastic. You can set it up based on location and it functions exactly like an indoor robotic vacuum app would! You can set up times and locations for it to map. It also give you vital information like how much battery is left before you next charge. Overall; for the time being I highly recommend! More to follow on this.
One of its standout features is the impressive battery life, as it ran for over 4 hours of continuous cleaning on the initial use. It handled debris across the pool floor, walls, and waterline with precision and consistency.
Now, after 12 days of continued use, we are extremely pleased and impressed by the Beatbot 2 Ultra’s ability to intelligently map, navigate, and maintain a crystal-clear pool. It continues to deliver flawless performance, requiring minimal supervision and providing professional-grade results with every cycle. The Beatbot 2 Ultra stands out as a top-tier investment for anyone seeking a premium, automated pool cleaning experience!
The package includes 2 extra side brushes, extra screws and a screwdriver for any maintenance items, a hook to attach to a pole to pull the vacuum out of the pool, and a cover. The cover is a premium fabric that is sun proof, dust proof, and waterproof. It is also stores in a handy pouch that is attached to the cover. This pouch can be used to store the pool hook if you are using the cover. I have included photos to illustrate this.
There was one tip I discovered during the assembly process that is not mentioned in the instructions. When installing the side brushes, install the end with the smaller tab first so it sits deeper in the slot on the wheel and then there is more room to attach the end with the larger tab. I have included photos to illustrate this.
The vacuum is extremely easy to operate. You simply turn it on by pressing the power button, then press a button for the desired cleaning mode. There is a button for "floor" mode which cleans just the floor. There is a button for "standard" mode which cleans the floor, walls and waterline. There is a button for "pro" mode which cleans the floor, walls, waterline, and surface. There is also a button for "custom mode" where you can design a custom cleaning mode in the app for cleaning area and duration that will be synced to this button. Note that there are other functions such as dispensing a clarifier and triggering hotspot configuration that are accessible via the buttons as well. With these buttons, it means it is possible to get most of the functionality of the vacuum without ever needing the app. After powering on and selecting the mode, place the vacuum on level ground, wait 5 seconds for the unit to calibrate, then place the vacuum in the pool and it starts cleaning. When the cleaning is done, the vacuum positions itself at the top of a wall for easy removal.
I have tried a number of robotic pool vacuums and this one does the best job of cleaning my pool by far. My pool has a sloped floor from the shallow end to the deep end, but it also has sloped sections that transition from the walls to the floor. Some other robotic cleaners get thrown off by these angled sections and it takes them a long time and multiple passes to cover the entire floor. This robotic pool vacuum doesn't get thrown off by these sections. After testing for about 3 weeks, I have also found that the AI camera and various sensors allow it to learn the layout of my pool very quickly and it improves the more it is used.
Besides the ease of operation, optimal cleaning path learning, and positioning at the top of a wall when done cleaning for easy removal, there are other features that make this an excellent choice for your pool. First, this pool vacuum has excellent suction power. It easily picks up some debris and waterlogged leaves that others can't. Second, this pool vacuum also has large roller brushes at the front and back of the vacuum. These brushes help to agitate and pick up smaller dirt particles as well as clean up any smaller algae spots that it encounters. I have found with manually vacuuming or using other robot cleaners, I would have to brush over some algae spots in order to remove them as the vacuum alone did not. But this vacuum uses it's own brushes to perform that task automatically. Note that I am not saying this pool vacuum will brush a pool with heavy algae, but it will make it easier to get rid of some smaller algae spots. Third, this robotic pool vacuum comes with a cordless charging dock. This makes it so easy to charge. No more fumbling with plugging a cord into an outlet on the vacuum and then into a household outlet. With this system, just leave the charger plugged in and set the vacuum onto the charger. It's so easy. Fourth, the filter basket on this pool vacuum is larger than others I have tested so it can hold more debris in one cleaning session without having to be pulled out to empty it. The basket is very easy to remove to empty and hose out for cleaning. Finally, this robotic pool vacuum is the only one I have tested that can do a full surface cleaning.
The app is easy to use, but is pretty basic. The app allows you to set the cleaning modes that you can access via the buttons on the vacuum and then start vacuuming. The app also gives you a log of the cleaning sessions so you can see the map of the cleaning pattern as well as how long it was operating. The app does not let you control the vacuum in the pool and you can't schedule pool cleanings (more on that below). I found the app easy to install by using the QR code in the instruction manual and easy to connect to the vacuum by scanning the QR on the vacuum. Note that you will have to register using your email address in order to use the app. If you really don't want to register to use the app, you can still get the same functionality from the vacuum by just using the buttons on the vacuum. You just won't be able to see the cleaning history. I like having this option to use the vacuum without having to register a new app on my phone. I have registered to use the app in the hopes that additional functionality may be added to the app over time, such as scheduling cleanings or setting different cleaning modes.
There are some things I want to point out that this robotic vacuum does not do. First, I cannot schedule pool cleanings in the app for this vacuum. For example, when I am away on vacation, it would be nice to be able to leave the vacuum in the pool and schedule it to do 2 or 3 floor cleanings while I am away. This vacuum can easily clean just the floor of my pool in an hour so the long battery life would allow for it to do 2 or 3 cleanings before having to be taken out and recharged, but there is no way in the app to schedule these cleanings. Second, the instructions indicate that the pool pump should be turned off when this vacuum is used. I assume that is so the vacuum sensors are not thrown off by the water moving in the pool. What this means for me is that even if I could schedule pool cleanings while I was away (or even get a neighbor to put the vacuum in the pool for me), the pool would have to be off in order for the vacuum to work properly. My pool pump does not have a timer on it, so when I am away for vacation, I just leave it running and this pool vacuum does not like that. In my case, I do have an older robotic vacuum that does allow for scheduled cleanings, so I can use that. However, it does not do as good a job of cleaning the pool as this one does.
Overall, I am very impressed with this robotic pool vacuum. It is extremely easy to operate and does a great job of cleaning my pool. While I have listed some things I wish this pool vacuum could do, this is the best robotic pool vacuum I have ever tried. It is a great option for cleaning your pool when you are able to place it in the pool and remove it between cleanings. Also, the "15 certifications, including ETL, CEC, and IP68, ensuring safety and environmental compliance" help to assure you are getting a well thought out, quality item. This robotic pool vacuum also comes with a 3 year warranty for piece of mind and all of the contact information for help and support is clearly listed in many places in the documentation as well as a sticker on the vacuum itself. This robotic pool vacuum easily gets 5 stars from me.
Right from the beginning one is impressed with the organization of the contents of the box, a very encouraging start.
There is a large instruction sheet describing steps 1 to 3 and three corresponding boxes that contain everything you need to complete the setup.
There is very little to do, the only assembly required is two tiny screws to secure the two legs to the charging station and two small side brushes to fasten to wheels on each side of the unit.
Beyond that, all you have to do is drop the clarifying agent container into the slot on the top side of the unit.
Once completed you just plug it in, download the app and you’re ready to go.
Performance:
Here again, the operative term is simplicity. Once the unit is charged up it displays a solid green light on the top of the unit.
The first time you use the device you must let it calibrate by placing it on the ground next to your pool for about five seconds, then just gently drop it in the pool and let it go. The Beatbot will first scan your pool’s dimensions in order to provide your app with all the required data. The app allows you to select three different cleaning modes, Floor, Standard and Pro Mode depending on your needs. You can also select to dispense a water clarifier if you wish by simply clicking a button on the app.
It is honestly the easiest and most effective way to clean your pool. Once completed your app will alert you and the Beatbot will be waiting for you at the side of the pool.
Summary:
The Beatbot Aquasense 2 Ultra does absolutely everything it claims to do, a refreshing change in this day of misleading advertising. It has superior engineering throughout, intuitive features, a very user-friendly app and it is incredibly easy to use. One other thing I should mention is battery efficiency, I used the Beatbot on Pro Mode which is the most intensive and longest cleaning mode lasting almost three hours for my pool. The unit only used 35% of its stored battery power to complete a full cleaning of my pool including the floor, walls, stairs and water surface. The unit is nothing short of amazing, while it is on the expensive side it is worth every penny.
Buy quality and only cry once 👍
Kudos Beatbot!
The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra Cordless Pool Vacuum Robot is an amazing advancement in automated pool cleaning. I have been using this device for about 2 weeks now and I am impressed. I don't use it daily because I have it at our lake house and I am only up there a couple of times a week.
This is the first pool robotic cleaner that I have ever used and the first that I have ever seen that will clean the floor, walls, pool line and surface. It has various settings that will allow you to choose which of those functions you want it to do, or the Pro Mode that does all.
It does a great job on the floor of the pool and the walls. The pool steps aren't deep enough (front to back) for the Beatbot to sit properly on each step. It does clean them but not as well as the floor of the pool. The surface is somewhat marginal due to the prevailing winds that keep moving the catkins around. (Catkins are those stringy, tassel looking things that fall from Oak trees when pollinating.) But fortunately, the skimmers do a good job of capturing those.
This device does not move around the pool as fast as a Polaris, but it does a superior cleaning job vs. a Polaris and mine has not become stuck anywhere like the Polaris.
Yesterday, I put it in Pro Mode and set it free. It ran for 5 hours without completing the water surface skimming but did everything else. At that point it had only 8% of its battery capacity remaining and parked at the surface.
The unit is much heavier than a Polaris and having to lean over to retrieve it from the pool emphasizes that fact. But I'm almost 74 and I have no problem with the weight. In order to park at the surface, it empties most of the water from its body, allowing it to float.
The Beatbot sits somewhat vertical in its charging base, reducing the footprint that would otherwise be required.
The debris basket is fairly large, but it has parked so that I can empty it before it continues each time I have used it. That is probably due to the amount of silt that it picks up in the cleaning process which block the screening. The basket removes easily. Just hose out the silt, reinstall, and it continues on its way.
Another feature is you can use the app as a remote control to clean a specific area of the pool. I have not tried that yet. Since the app will not communicate with the Beatbot when it is submerged, I'm not sure how that works.
The Beatbot is an extremely advanced device; well-built, with great fit and finish.
It's a bit of an expensive, although just a fraction of my pool, and since it gives me more time to enjoy said pool, it's worth it. It really does work like a dream.
It cleans above the water and below - the whole package in one little vacuum.
It's a quick charge and buzzes around for quite some time, making sure to get every corner.
It picks up the big stuff and the small stuff.
We get a lot of pine needles where we are - if we don't skim them from the top immediately, they sink to the bottom. Either way, this vacuum takes care of it and it's just not our problem anymore.
It's so neat how you can actually see its mapping and how it improves with every use - after just 3 uses, it pretty much had our pool down solidly.
It was extra great for opening the pool this year.
It has a cute little light that almost makes me feel sorry for it, alone at the bottom of the pool at night.
And if you think I'm anthropomorphizing a vacuum, you haven't even heard what I've named it:
BB-GR8 (yes, a nerdy Star Wars reference - act like you're surprised).
What a weight of my shoulders. This is how technology is meant to be used.
We had an issue with ours and Beatbot took care of it very quickly. I would highly recommend any products Beatbot sells.
Downside for me is it is so heavy! Probably not a problem if you have an in ground pool but man so hard to lift up an out of an above ground pool. Seriously need a hoist! That’s just me though! I don’t know how much it weighs but if I’m guessing I’m going to say 50 lbs! I’m sure the box specifies but I don’t have the box anymore!
Pros-
-Cleans really well- AI feature is a HUGE plus
-Climbs the walls and cleans the walls of your pool.
-Charges fairly quickly
-Docking station is a plus for an easy charge up
-Built in camera can be used to spot debris
-Easy to use well built app
-Clarifying agent can be dispensed to help clear your water up
-Doesn’t get stuck easily
-Large filter basket
-Cleaning mode that has it automatically run a cleaning cycles and then wait two days and run it again. Great for when you are gone to keep the pool clean.
-Pump runs for a bit after you pull it out to get all the water out of the system.
Cons-
Unit is expensive, this is probably one of the most expensive out there
Clarifying agent refills are also a little on the pricey side and last for about 4 uses.
So my final verdict, is this cleaner worth it. If you have this amount of money to spend on a really exceptional pool cleaner then yes, absolutely it is 100% worth it. It works and does everything it says it will and it does it about as nicely as could br expected and with little to no effort on your part. I will update if I have any durability issues but for my tests that I performed today, call me impressed. I have to give this a highly recommend rating.
The actual unit itself was a little different than the one pictured as it doesn't have much of a color to it and the main rubber track at the bottom is a light grey and the one originally showed a dark grey.
There are markings of CE and C ETL US certification.
This is a very hefty pool cleaner that was a little heavier than I expected it to be but is very well built.
There is a charging dock that requires you to put in brackets so it holds up the unit properly. I let it charge overnight and it was ready to go in the morning.
For the most part the unit is pretty much together but you do need to add the side brushes which are a little tricky to get on.
The brushes for the bottom and the sides are a nice soft rubber.
There is a few different modes you can set this to as well like floor , standard, pro or custom. Basically, for just the floor of the pool to everything ( floor , waterline , surface and walls. )
There is an app to download and connect to the pool cleaner. You can customize the exact cleaning area and a specific amount of time.
The pool was just uncovered for the summer season so I just removed a few leaves and obvious debris.
Overall, the pool cleaner did a great job of cleaning the pool. The filter had a good amount of stuff in it and it was easy to empty.
Much easier popping this unit into the pool than trying to clean it manually and much more efficient.
It's an expensive cleaner but could be a good investment since the pool itself is a big investment.
Wi-fi when you download the app and update the software, very easy setup. When using the app , make sure you pick your settings out of the water because your phone and robot don’t communicate underwater.
This unit has different settings for cleaning the floor, walls, waterline, and even skims the top when you hit the right setting. I’ve had this in my pool now for two or three weeks and so far I’m very impressed.. There’s even a mode when it’s on the top of the pool skimming, you could change it over with your app and control it with a joystick on your phone. That joystick comes in handy to get the robot to come to you so you can grab it easily out of the pool. The scrubbing power of this robot is perfect. Dual sided brushes get every edge and corner. Climbs walls effortlessly and leaves pool crystal clear. Once it is done cleaning it surface parks on top of the water for easy retrieval. Best of the Best!
