Reviews are written by our in-house pool professionals from hands-on testing. How we test
Once you know a robot fits your pool, the features decide how much work it saves you. A weekly timer means the pool cleans itself while you are at work, an anti-tangle swivel means you are not unwinding cable every cycle, and a caddy means you are not carrying 35 pounds across the deck. Browse the feature pages below to compare only the robots that have what you want.

The cleaning hardware on a modern Dolphin, Clear or Aquabot robot is strong across the range. What separates a budget model from a premium one is automation and convenience: whether it starts on its own schedule, whether you can control it from your phone, how the cable behaves, how the filter empties and how long the manufacturer stands behind it.
Our buying guide ranks the ten features that matter most. The pages in this section let you shop by a single one, so you can insist on a weekly timer or a 3-year warranty and then compare everything else.
Weekly timers and app scheduling run the robot without you; a remote or app gives spot cleaning and manual drive.
Cordless robots remove the cable entirely; corded robots with a swivel run longer cycles without tangling.
Lightweight robots (14–20 lb) lift out easily; heavier robots come with or accept a caddy.
Three-year warranties on the Dolphin Premier and Sigma and on the Clear robots.
In order of impact: waterline cleaning, a weekly timer, fine filtration, an anti-tangle swivel and a 3-year warranty. App control and remotes are convenient but do not change how clean the pool gets. See our pool robot buying guide for the full list.
Cordless robots are easier to handle and have no cable to manage, but they must be recharged after every cycle and run shorter cycles. Corded robots run longer, support weekly timers and are the better choice for a pool that needs daily cleaning.
No. App control needs an app-enabled power supply, which comes with the Sigma and Quantum; the Premier, Cayman and Escape use a timer power supply instead. The app page lists every app-controlled robot we sell.
