Robot Pool Cleaner Reviews Compare Models
Finding the best robot pool cleaner is hard
Doing the research on robot pool cleaner reviews to compare robotic pool cleaners isn’t easy.
There’s many models and the information is all over the place.
That’s why we’ve done it for you.
That’s why we’ve done it for you.
We’ve trawled the internet to find independent reviews of various pool cleaning robots, including our own, where we can.
There are pool robot reviews to be found on productreview.com.au,
and various distributor websites, which cover the major models.
The table below gives a summary of the key features of major brand models of pool robot cleaners, compared to ours.
We originally could not find any other battery powered pool cleaner models, which is what made ours unique.
Now we see there is the poolbot b150 and maybe some others that have newly come into the market.
Interestingly, this rechargeable pool cleaner has been recently sourced from our own supplier.
Other than to say that the distributors will be inexperienced in servicing this kind of battery pool cleaner,
whereas we already know what can go wrong.

What’s important when you compare robotic pool cleaners
If you were to ask us what’s important for a robot pool vacuum cleaner, you might be surprised. We would say:
- Safety. If it plugs into the wall, you shouldn’t be swimming while it’s working. That’s why we specialise in the battery operated pool cleaner.
We may be biased, but we can’t supervise how everyone is going to behave around our devices. - Volume. It’s unbelievable how much junk gets into a pool, and the filter baskets fill up fast.
The fineness of the filter mesh is secondary, since whatever is already in the basket will act to collect more fine particles. - Weight. Add an extra 5kg to the dry weight of the device, and that’s what you’re pulling out of the water when it’s finished.
Others may say tech gimmicks like WiFi etc are important,
And we accept this, which is why we have a WiFi attached model as well.
Our BalmainBug I pool cleaner is a swimming pool robot that can be programmed to “map” your pool.
This is very useful for owners of pools with non-standard shapes, like lap pools for example, which are long and narrow.
The standard programming for most robotic pool vacuum cleaners is not designed with these types of pools in mind.
But don’t get drawn into spending a lot of time time using Wifi connections to program your robot pool vac.
If you do, then there’s not much difference in that to cleaning the pool yourself.
