Not sure what fits? The [robot matcher](https://robotpoolcleanerguide.com/tools/robot-matcher/) narrows the list for your pool. ## FAQ ### Which robotic pool cleaner has the best specs in 2026? By our research-based score, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 currently ranks highest (8.7/10), but the best robot for you depends on pool type, size, debris and budget. Sort the table by the spec that matters most, or use the robot matcher. ### What is the difference between a corded and a cordless pool robot? Corded robots (like the Dolphin Nautilus line) plug into a poolside power supply and run as long as you want, with strong suction and a proven record. Cordless robots (Beatbot, Aiper, Wybot) run on a rechargeable battery for roughly 1.5–5 hours, with no cord to manage and newer models that also clean the waterline. ### Do I need a skimmer robot or a vacuum robot? A vacuum robot cleans the floor and (usually) the walls. A solar skimmer only handles the surface: leaves, pollen, bugs. If trees drop debris on your pool, many owners run both. If you only get a little surface debris, a vacuum robot alone is usually enough.
