Canada 2026 · current-model guide
Which Beatbot pool robot fits the real workload?
Start with the zones and debris that must be cleaned, then compare runtime, filtration, retrieval and station work. This comparison does not reward an available commission or a higher price.
Five checks before choosing
- Record whether the pool is in-ground or above-ground, plus its shape, finish and depth.
- Measure the floor and shallow platforms instead of relying only on advertised square footage.
- Choose the zones actually required: floor, walls, waterline, surface or platforms.
- Match leaves, sand and fine debris to the basket volume and filter fineness.
- Plan charging, lifting, rinsing and indoor freeze-safe storage before buying.
Five roles, no forced podium
Pay for the capability your pool actually uses
| Decision | Sora 30 | Sora 70 | AquaSense 2 | AquaSense 2 Ultra | AquaSense X |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Routine all-area cleaning without surface skimming | Full-pool routine cleaning with surface skimming | Floor, wall and waterline cleaning with a wireless dock | AI-guided five-function cleaning without a self-cleaning station | Maximum automation with filter washing and debris transfer |
| Cleaning zones | Floor, walls, waterline, shallow platforms | Surface, floor, walls, waterline, shallow platforms | Floor, walls, waterline | Surface, floor, walls, waterline, clarification | Surface, floor, walls, waterline, platforms, clarification |
| Runtime | Up to 5 hours | Up to 7 h surface; 5 h floor | Up to 4 hours | Up to 10 h surface; 5 h floor | Up to 10 h surface; 5 h submerged |
| Flow rate | 6,800 GPH | 6,800 GPH | 5,500 GPH | Not verified | 6,800 GPH |
| Key limit | It does not clean floating surface debris; shallow platforms need at least 8 inches of water and a 3.3 × 3.3 ft footprint. | Surface runtime and submerged runtime are different figures; do not use the seven-hour surface claim to size floor cleaning. | It does not skim the surface or clarify water, and its small 2 L basket may require more frequent emptying in leafy pools. | The clarifier is a recurring consumable, and this model does not include the AquaSense X automatic filter-cleaning station. | The station weighs 41.9 lb, needs flat space near power, water, drainage and Wi-Fi, and does not eliminate every manual maintenance task. |
Beatbot Sora 30
Exact product photo not yet verifiedBeatbot Sora 30
Sora 30 cleans the floor, walls, waterline and sufficiently large shallow platforms. Its 2026 official record emphasizes long submerged runtime and strong flow without adding a surface-skimming mode.
- Cleaning zones
- Floor, walls, waterline, shallow platforms
- Floor runtime
- Up to 5 hours
- Maximum coverage
- 3,229 sq ft
- Flow rate
- 6,800 GPH
- Filter basket
- 5.2 L; 150 µm included
Decisive limit: It does not clean floating surface debris; shallow platforms need at least 8 inches of water and a 3.3 × 3.3 ft footprint.
Beatbot Sora 70

Sora 70 adds active water-surface cleaning to floor, wall, waterline and shallow-platform coverage. It is the practical step up when floating leaves are part of the recurring workload.
- Cleaning zones
- Surface, floor, walls, waterline, shallow platforms
- Runtime
- Up to 7 h surface; 5 h floor
- Maximum coverage
- 3,229 sq ft
- Flow rate
- 6,800 GPH
- Filter basket
- 6 L; 150 µm included
Decisive limit: Surface runtime and submerged runtime are different figures; do not use the seven-hour surface claim to size floor cleaning.
Beatbot AquaSense 2

AquaSense 2 is the three-zone AquaSense option. It combines optimized paths, double-pass waterline scrubbing, water-surface parking and a vertical wireless charging dock.
- Cleaning zones
- Floor, walls, waterline
- Floor runtime
- Up to 4 hours
- Maximum coverage
- 3,230 sq ft
- Flow rate
- 5,500 GPH
- Filter basket
- 2 L; 150 µm
Decisive limit: It does not skim the surface or clarify water, and its small 2 L basket may require more frequent emptying in leafy pools.
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra
Exact product photo not yet verifiedBeatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra
AquaSense 2 Ultra combines floor, walls, waterline, surface and water clarification. AI mapping and debris targeting distinguish it from the regular AquaSense 2, while charging and filter care still remain manual ownership tasks.
- Cleaning zones
- Surface, floor, walls, waterline, clarification
- Runtime
- Up to 10 h surface; 5 h floor
- Maximum coverage
- 3,444 sq ft
- Battery
- 13,400 mAh
- Filtration
- Two-layer, down to 150 µm
Decisive limit: The clarifier is a recurring consumable, and this model does not include the AquaSense X automatic filter-cleaning station.
Beatbot AquaSense X
AquaSense X is the station-based flagship. The AstroRinse station rinses the filter, transfers debris to a 22 L bin and recharges the robot after full-pool cleaning.
- Cleaning zones
- Surface, floor, walls, waterline, platforms, clarification
- Station
- 3-minute filter rinse; 22 L debris bin
- Runtime
- Up to 10 h surface; 5 h submerged
- Flow rate
- 6,800 GPH
- Station size
- 25.1 × 21.1 × 22.0 in
Decisive limit: The station weighs 41.9 lb, needs flat space near power, water, drainage and Wi-Fi, and does not eliminate every manual maintenance task.
How to read the shortlist
Automation changes chores, not pool compatibility
Choose Sora 30 when submerged routine cleaning is enough. Move to Sora 70 when surface debris is recurring. AquaSense 2 trades surface work for a wireless dock and three-zone cleaning. AquaSense 2 Ultra adds surface cleaning, clarification and AI guidance. AquaSense X is justified only when its large installed station and automatic filter workflow fit the site and materially reduce repeated maintenance.
No Beatbot purchase button is monetized today. RoboStead will add one only after the exact Canadian destination and tracking route are verified.
