A fast-growing market that is in high demand in the modern times that we live in is the robotic pool cleaner market. After all, it does not hurt to have a robotic device that cleans the pool entirely on its own at your disposal. If you are looking for such a device, we recommend that you give the Aquabot Elite robotic pool cleaner a try. This robot cleaner can be purchased for the price of around $1150, which is a reasonable price when compared to other models that can cost well over $2000. In addition, it comes with a lot of features that help minimize the cost of keeping your inground pool clean. Therefore, it makes up for the money that you spend on it in no time. This model is designed to clean in-ground pools of all shapes that measure up to 60 feet in length. To learn more about its capabilities and what it has to offer to those who purchase it, continue to read this review.

Cleaning Performance

The Elite robotic pool cleaner offers 100% pool coverage, cleaning the floor, walls, and waterline thoroughly. Also, the EverGrip rubber tracks allow it to avoid obstacles. It can filter up to 70 gallons of water per minute.

• AquaSmart 2.0 microprocessor – It features controlled intelligent cleaning due to the fact that it uses the AquaSmart 2.0 microprocessor. The microprocessor maps the pool to ensure that the robot will take the shortest path to clean it
• Timer – It comes with a built-in timer that enables you to set it to clean the pool every 2, 3, or 4 days. Also, the timer allows you to program it to clean in 1, 1.5, and 2-hour increments
• JetForce Technology – It maintains high suction even when large debris is encountered
• Anti-tangle – The 360-degree anti-tangle swivel that it features allows peace of mind, ensuring that the robotic cleaner won’t get tangled in its cord while operating

In addition, it uses 3 powerful brushes that allow complete and professional cleaning of the pool. Two of the brushes spin in order to power scrub the pool surface. The third brush, which is the CleanSweep brush, rapidly oscillates back and forth to dislodge stubborn debris and contaminants.

Design and accessories

Boasting a modern and innovative design, it separates itself from the previous models produced by Aquabot, and it makes it stand out from its competition as well. It weighs only 39.6 pounds, which places it among the lighter models on the market. It measures 20.8 inches in length, 20.5 inches in height, and 18.5 inches in width. The cable measures 60 feet in length. Also, it comes with a convenient storage and transport caddy.

Ease of use

For easy transport and storage, it comes with a storage and transport caddy. Unfortunately, the remote control of the robot is not included, is needed to purchase it separately. This aspect did not please a lot of customers. Also, it does not feature a lift system, meaning that it won’t get out of the water by itself, so you will have to grab it out yourself. Fortunately, the ergonomic lightweight design allows for easy handling. Therefore, it won’t be hard to pull the robot out of the water. It features a full cartridge indicator that announces you when it is time to empty the cartridge. Another impressive feature that makes it convenient to use is the fact that you do not need to remove it out of the water to access the filter.

Operating costs

This robot pool cleaner uses state of the art 24V DC motors that provide impressive power while keeping its energy efficient. This model runs on just 180W, meaning that the operational cost per hour is of only 5 cents. What makes it so energy efficient is the fact that it features the AquaSmart 2.0 microprocessor. Its characteristics are:

• Pool-mapping System – This helps the pool cleaner avoid obstacles, it minimizes overlapping cleaning paths, and it calculates the shortest path that the device must follow to clean the entire pool
• Rubber Tracks – It features EverGrip continuous rubber tracks that provide better balance, weight distribution, and traction. Due to the fact that it uses these innovative tracks, you can rest assured that the product won’t have trouble going up the walls or any other surface of the pool
• Cartridges – Easy and fast to remove due to the fact that the large access door swings open fast. This allows you to simply pull the cartridges out, clean them, and put them back easily once you are done cleaning them
