What's the best robotic pool cleaner in Australia? We tested every BeatBot robot
Ask pool owners what they hate most about a robotic cleaner and at least half will mention the cord: wrapped around a ladder, snagged on a skimmer box, trailing across the deck.
It's the biggest reason Australians are switching to cordless robots, and the question we're asked most at our Willawong showroom.


What we found
We stock, set up and test every robot we sell. BeatBot has pulled ahead of our cordless range because it builds cordless-specific technology: self-parking, dual filtration and genuine shallow-water reach. We stock eight BeatBot robots, from a $699 solar skimmer to a $4,899 AI-powered flagship, and they are not interchangeable. The right one depends on whether your problem is the waterline, the surface or the shallow end.
Key points
Cordless removes the most common robot complaint.
Look for self-parking, dual filtration and shallow-water reach.
Surface debris only? A solar skimmer may be enough.
Ask us which robot suits your pool before you buy.
Come and see them at our Willawong pool shop, or ask your technician on your next service.
