Best robotic pool cleaners

These are 12 robotic pool cleaners you can buy in the US as of October 2026, corded and cordless, from Beatbot, Dolphin, Polaris, Aiper and WYBOT, picked using brand specs and independent reviews. Corded robots on a weekly timer remain the easiest to live with for in-ground pools, while cordless models skip the cord but need charging and lifting after every run. Prices change often, so each listing shows the date we checked it, and recall history is noted where it exists. How we score.

Buying guideHow to Choose a Robotic Pool CleanerMatch the robot to your pool type and length first, then decide between a corded robot on a weekly timer and a cordless robot you charge and lift out yourself. After that, compare which surfaces it cleans, how fine its filter is, real runtime, and the total cost including filters and safety history.Read the guide →
