![Best Robot Pool Cleaners 2024 [Don't Buy Until You WATCH This!]](/img/tr.png)
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…
That’s a fact, Jack!
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!
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!
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.
Thank you! Best review video and most helpful. I watched a bunch and this was the only one that showed actual testing.
Very thorough review. I like that you get straight into it - quick and concise. Excellent!
Man, you rock doing videos and comparations! You did an awesome job. Congrats 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is a thorough review. Thank you, I appreciate it👍🏻
Great job man definitely good video Great info cheers
Thank you so much for your thoroughness.
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.
I loved your video!! Very informative. Just purchased from your link the seato se. Thank you so much!😊
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 reviews, thank you for your work. I am going to use provided links to get my unit. Thanks again and keep it up. Cheers
Cheers! As I said, my only concern is that in a few days/weeks the price of the Seauto will be double.
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.
Thanks for the info.
I have a corded robot. I wondered how well the new generation worked.
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.
Really well done video. Thank you
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
Nice! let me know what you think of the Shark, looks pretty cool.
More pool tech please. Great video!
Perfect timing of this review.
This was a fantastic video and definitely exactly what I was looking for to figure out which vacuum to purchase.
Hin thanks for the detailed comparisons, it help alot.
What do you recommend between Seauto seal se or Shark version? Which one is better?
Super helpful !!
Great research thanks
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 :)
My Hayward 4x does my walls great. I do admit it does not get the stairs or ledge.
For me, I only run my pump for less than two hours, so the suction side is a no go for me. Plus I only need to put the robot in every 3 days or so as my pool doesn't get overly dirty.
Because I have a solar system to heat the water and there is not enough suction for the solar system when the Hayward is connected.
@@avnut5517how do you get the 4x to do the walls? Mine barely goes up the walls at all.
@@flippedcracker Had to adjust the suction balance between the skimmer and robot. Pump runs at 700 RPM
Awesome revue. Kudos
Outstanding work!!!!
What is the pole that you used to pull them out? Thanks for the awesome video!
Great info, thx.
As always, another awesome review and comparison. I just placed an order for the Seauto… Thanks!!
Have you used it sufficiently in the time since you bought it, and how has it been working so far, any issues? The biggest complaint I read in the reviews is that it breaks down after some months of use.
@@tosoflo1 so far so good. The only challenge I have had is I have to always use it all coverage, floor and wall mode or it will not fully clean the floor on both ends of the pool. We have a pool with shallow ends on both ends and a deeper section in the middle. I think it gets confused at times and thinks it’s climbing up a wall when in floor mode only. So the ends of the pools floors don’t get as clean as they do when in all coverage mode.
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.
Thank uou for your very informative videos
Most of them seem to just go back and forth like absolute bananas.
nice review as always
Excellent video! A++
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 😂👍
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 👍🏻
Great video.. thank you
thanks for the video...ordered the SeAuto using your link!
Have you used it sufficiently in the time since you bought it, and how has it been working so far, any issues? The biggest complaint I read in the reviews is that it breaks down after some months of use.
I have used it almost daily and still working great. I haven’t manually scrub/brished- only maybe the top steps but the machine covers 95% of it. I would recommend. I
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. 👍
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.
Interesting, I'll give that a shot. Do you notice any serious decrease in suction?
@@TheHookUp I have not noticed a signifiant decrease in suction, however, I do notice the tone of the vacuum motor does change a bit when I use the paper towel method. This suggests the motors are working harder than they otherwise might. As a result, I only use the paper towel method when there's a significant amount of fine particulate to remove.
I just noticed that the higher end Seauto, the "Shark" has an extra cotton filter designed for fine debris.
Yeah i saw that too. Like black smoke coming out the top. This means none of these robots will capture algae. It will just go right out the top.
@@TheHookUpare you still using the seauto and how is it holding up will you test the shark
Thank you!
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?
I think that's more for the corded versions.
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
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.
Great to hear!
I’m thinking of upgrading ours to that one. We have one that is pretty good but it doesn’t do our walls. Our pool is very low maintenance and I’m not sure we need a company to do it from all I’ve been learning. 🤔. Our current machine plugs in on the bottom, which is a PIA…… any tidbits on the Seauto since you got it???
@@Jonacarpenter Honestly, I'm still crazy-impressed with it. For years we had our Polaris 380 running 1-2h daily and it was just ok. The Seauto we drop in 1-2x/w at most and it picks up things the Polaris never did. I though having a battery powered robot would be a pain, but considering how much better it works, it's really no trouble at all. Have had zero issues. The Polaris has been sitting on the site of our house pouting.
@@RaffBuilding Thanks so much. I'll really appreciate it and any tips would help, I can't see paying someone to do what me and a bot can do. And checking the salt levels, well a meter and Leslie's pool supplies can do that. 😉😆
@@Jonacarpenter Though we've never had a pool service, IMO their real value is probably keeing the chemicals balanced. That's the thing that will take some research and exprerience before it's easy.
THANK YOU !!! I will take your advice. Its still a good price too :)
👍😎✊ you got some commish.. thanks!
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?
I really wanted to do robot lawn mowers and even went as far as planning the whole video out, but the only large scale testing site I was able to get was 45 minutes away so it was going to be a LOT of travel to long term test them.
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.
Good info, thanks!
Have you used it sufficiently in the time since you bought it, and how has it been working so far, any issues? The biggest complaint I read in the reviews is that it breaks down after some months of use.
@@tosoflo1 Used it weekly last season and was wonderful, no issues. Haven't opened our pool yet, so no use this season.
Wow. Great review.
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.
Nice breakdown
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!
Excellent video.
Despite not having a pool and not needing one I was enthralled by the review
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.
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?
Is the seauto se the same as the seauto crab? The link is not pulling up the same one on your 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 .
Called what
@@vinniep3315seauto shark
@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.
If you put copper pipes or elbows in the skimming basket it can get rid of algae
what about fiberglass inground pools, does the slick walls defeat the cleaners climbing ability?
Excellent testing of cordless robotic pool cleaners. Hopefully batteries hold up.
How about the charging time, or did I actually miss it
Can you get an extra battery for any of these?
This is the weirdest comparison video ever… I love it
Whenever I come across something that I want to research for myself (needed a new pool vacuum) and there aren't any good unbiased review videos available I always put it on my list. This one was sorely needed since all the reviews are either directly from the manufactures, resellers, or paid reviewers.
@@TheHookUp makes sense. If you can’t something. Make the thing to find ;)
@@TheHookUpOut of curiosity why do you want to move away from the suction cleaner?
It seems you are trading hose life for battery life. Assuming the batteries are even replaceable, they probably cost as much.
@AeroElectro copy paste from a different comment: Each of my suction side vacuums lasted less than 5 years (Zodiac MX8 lasted 4 years, then MX6 lasted 4), and that was replacing parts every 1-2 years (new treads every year, new gearbox every 2 years). The final straw for me switching from suction side to battery powered was the fact that my last set of Zodiac tubing failed in less than 2 years. I use 7 meters of it, so that's $150+ just to replace the hose.
The other huge benefit of these battery powered cleaners over a suction side is that they collect debris in their bins rather than sending it to your pool filter. During pollen season I typically have to clean my pool filter every 2 weeks. I'm hoping this cleaner significantly reduces the amount of pollen that makes it to the filter.
@@TheHookUp Very interesting point about these cleanings keeping the fine debris rather than stir it up for your pool filter. But do you really insert & remove your new vac nearly daily? There's no way we'd remember to do that. Too bad they can't be programmed to at least jump in the pool automatically.
Kinda confused , what’s battery replacement mean ???? Don’t you recharge units after use?
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 ;)
DOlphin just launched a cordless! Liberty 300 is the way to go!
@@juliawells6052 cool, any video reviews about it you know of?
@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!
Painstakingly tracing the path with the pen tool in Adobe Premiere, lol.
@@TheHookUp Ouch...tha'ts what I was afraid of!
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
It's a lithium ion battery, so it should last a very long time. The replacement battery on Amazon is $200, which is not competitively priced given the overall cost of the robot, but I'm wondering if you could get it directly from Seauto for a lot less money using their customer service line.
Again, I'd expect it to last quite a while before needing replacement, but lithium cells do randomly go bad sometimes.
Great work as usual! Small request: please convert meaningless mAh (we don’t know the voltage!) into Wh for the battery capacity :)
Yeah, unfortunately for those battery claims I had to just rely on the manufacturer specs because most of the batteries were sealed inside of the waterproof section of the robot. I figured having actual runtime was more useful than battery specs anyways.
Could you please do a review now on the robotic pool skimmers?
Have you done any vacuums for above ground pool in the larger 28 ft or the square above ground pools?
These will work for above ground pools. 28ft pool is 615sqft, the seauto says up to 2150ft.
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.
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?
Not in my current plans. If this video does exceptionally well I'll definitely consider it.
Been looking at the ones for hot spas
I have one made by Intex that works great but it doesn’t seem to be available anymore. Aiper makes a similar one: amzn.to/3DBSwwv
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?
I have an older Hoover that works remarkable well under water.
A hoover pool vacuum?!?
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?
A few things:
1) in "all cover mode" the floor cleaning pattern doesn't start until after it has done wall cleaning for the first 50% of the battery capacity. Wall cleaning looks a lot more random than floor cleaning.
2) Have you inspected your basket to make sure there aren't any holes in the screen?
3) Wireless signals won't work if the cleaner is in the water, it needs to be above the surface to connect.
4) As you've seen, this is the best option of all the units I tested, regardless of price, so I don't have any better recommendation.
Thank you very much for responding back with the info. No holes in the screen mesh but I'm pretty sure when we lift it out of the water it is losing debris through the rubber flap at the bottom of the basket when lifting it out and letting the water drain out. Appreciate all your info and help!!
I am looking for the Seauto you mentioned and there aren’t any anywhere close to 350. Do you have a recommendation on where to find them?
Unfortunately no. They have replaced the "Seal SE" with the "2024 Seal" and the "Crab" which appear to both be the same vacuum. I'm in the process of updating this video right now if you can hold on for another 2 weeks.
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?
Each of my suction side vacuums lasted less than 5 years (Zodiac MX8 lasted 4 years, then MX6 lasted 4), and that was replacing parts every 1-2 years (new treads every year, new gearbox every 2 years). The final straw for me switching from suction side to battery powered was the fact that my last set of Zodiac tubing failed in less than 2 years.

During pollen season I typically have to clean my pool filter every 2 weeks. I'm hoping this cleaner significantly reduces the amount of pollen that makes it to the filter.
@@TheHookUp you should try a Hayward. Even my last cleaner (can't recall the name of it now) lasted 10 years without needing any maintenance. Hook it up to the pool, set it and forget it. These robots are waaaaaay too much work. Who wants to have to go out to the pool every day and deal with it. And if you're out of town or on vacation for a week... nah, I'm out.This isn't the solution for existing hose vacs. It's a solution for pools that don't have one.
@@TheHookUpagree with commenter that there seems to be little utility from a smart pool cleaner. A Hayward, which my parents have had on their pools since I can remember works really well.
I suggest a follow up video comparing the better brand suction side cleaners against these smart ones.
Zodiac is crap…only one sweep to get…The Pool Cleaner
My pool has a booster pump and its $1000 to swap out now that its dead so this is definitely something I’m thinking about. I also have a hot tub that my normal pool cleaner has never touched.
Do u have a video on how to convert an automated pool to smart? I have Hayward AquaLogic PS-8-GLX-Local -PS-8. is there an add-on that can enable me to control from the phone ?
I've got this REALLY old video from when I first started my channel showing how I automate my pool: ua-cam.com/video/QcaJlpVOJ8U/v-deo.html
Where can i buy the parts of Seauto Seal? Like the belt and battery
The battery is available on Amazon, not sure about replacement treads. Try contacting them, they have live US based support.
Is the link up to date? It shows a cleaning area of 1600sf but, i thought it can clean up to 2150sf.
They have updated the Seal from last year to the "New Seal" or "Crab" I'm in the process of testing the new stuff as well as 7 other pool cleaners. That video will be out June 22nd.
how did you draw those coverage tracks?
I used the "write on" tool in premiere
A little late to the video, but is the Seauto Crab the newer version? Same thing? Or do I stick to the Seauto Seal, but it’s not labeled as “SE” on Amazon right now.
Not exactly sure what's going on with their branding right now. The Crab was definitely a newer version, then they tried to rebrand it to Seal 2024, but I see it's back to crab now. I'll be reviewing the Crab/New Seal next month but haven't done any testing yet.
@@TheHookUpI appreciate it. I can’t find the Seal SE anywhere.
I agree, for a while it was "listing hopping", but I don't see it anywhere now.
My parents have a larger pool (40k gallons). What would you suggest for a pool with swim up bar stools, a built in seating area with inward bar stools as well as a beach entry?
Seauto makes a bigger robot that might work for a pool that size: amzn.to/3qaZWDP
@@TheHookUp thanks! Do most of these cordless cleaners have an "out of water" feature or will turn around if it rides up the beach entry they have?
The seauto has a water contact sensor on the top. I know it kills the propulsion when that leaves the water, but I don’t know whether it will continue to drive with the treads to get back in.
The Seauto manual says it's only good up to a
water depth of 3.3 ft. Is that accurate?
No
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!
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 Seauto Shark is WAY better than my wired Polaris. Way faster and doesn't stir up the dust and filters all the finest dust.
I wish someone would do which one cleans a pebble tec pool the best
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.
Well that's not great. Mine is still going strong. Get a replacement unit from Amazon.
@@TheHookUp I paid $650 to ship it to Australia. Now I need to pay to ship it back.
@@alexanderbont Yikes, I'd definitely call Seauto support and see if they can walk you through some troubleshooting then. When I called I talked to a real person that wasn't reading off a script, but I'm not sure how much of an expert they will be at diagnosing issues. Did you try to pull the battery and reinstall?
just wow.
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.
I'm with you, having a Polaris 280 also, but at least I just leave it in the pool & it does its thing. There's no way we're going to integrate the insertion & removal of these vacs into our daily, or even every-other-day, schedule.
@@RaffBuilding Yeah, that's a great point. I leave the 280 in pretty much 24/7, and have automated the pool pump/boost.
@@JRSkola But @ThehookUp also makes the great point that these robots actually pick up the fine debris, when the Polaris just stirs it up for the general pool filter to take care of. My curiousity is piqued with these robots, but I also want to dive into the corded.
Buy the Seauto Shark. You will be much happier!
Pressure side cleaners are 1970s crap…won’t service a pool with one.
The Pool Cleaner…Hayward.
I have a beach area in my pool. How would a vacuum like the Seauto Seal SE react to that? Would it crawl up on the beach and get stuck or would it realize its about to go out of water in the process of crawling up there?
I don't know the answer to that. My neighbor has a beach entry pool, I'll see if I can throw the Seauto in their pool today and see what it does.
@@TheHookUp thanks. I’m not worried about it climbing out of the pool since the “beach area” has an edge, so it’s more of a shallow area. Just curious if it will back down into the pool again.
@@TheHookUpI actually went ahead and ordered the Seauto Seal and it works great in my pool with beach area. Doesn’t try to climb out.
Here is a short of what my beach area looks like:
ua-cam.com/users/shortsPEDaupQqEG4?feature=share
@@johnraahauge4552 Beautiful pool. I forgot to reply (obviously). I did throw it in my neighbors pool and it didn't even attempt to get onto their beach entry area, just climbed the wall before it and then let go.
@@TheHookUp Thank you!
I'd be curious to compare these against units from better known brands like Polaris and Dolphin Nautilus.
I think it's interesting that those brands haven't gone wireless/battery yet.
Now THIS is a review.
I'm only left with wondering about one thing. I know that for small debris you suggested that the Seauto Seal was probably the best. But do you know if the filter will allow it to pick up any dead algea on the bottom of the pool?
You can see in the sand/dirt test that all the robots kind of blew out fine debris from their suction fans. Some people have reported success putting a filter bag around the basket to pick up finer debris. The Seauto Shark (the upgraded version) has a separate fine debris filter.
@@TheHookUp Thanks for telling me. I'll look at that model.
Ok. I purchased it on Amazon for $413. I verified that it does come with two filters one of which is fine. In a couple of days I'll try it out. Thanks again.
Let us know how it goes!
@@bexaminer1did you get the shark and are you happy with it?
