  • Beatbot

    AquaSense X

    Beatbot's flagship with a self-cleaning station: AstroRinse rinses the filter and empties a 22 l bin, while the robot skims, cleans floor, walls and waterline and parks at the surface.

  • Beatbot

    Sora 70

    The Sora that skims: twin JetPulse jets pull floating debris in for up to seven hours, then it cleans floor, walls and waterline on a 6,800 GPH pump with a 6 l basket and parks at the surface.
