Our verdict
The Sora 70 is the cheapest Beatbot that cleans the surface: twin JetPulse jets pull leaves toward the intake, for up to seven hours on the 10,000 mAh battery, and once the surface is clear it dives for floor, walls, waterline and ledges from 20 cm of water, for up to five. The pump is the Sora range's 6,800 GPH, about 25,700 l/h, into a 6 l basket with a 150 μm mesh; a 3 μm basket costs extra. Four roller brushes scrub, and two ultrasonic sensors among 18 plan S-shaped passes around obstacles. When it is done it parks floating at the edge, returns on one app tap and takes remote control on the surface. It charges in about four and a half hours through a plug, so there is no dock; 10.4 kg, 300 m², IPX68 and a three-year warranty. Against the AquaSense 2 Ultra it gives up the camera, the clarifier and 60 m² for much less money.

MOVA Rover X10
MOVA's flagship pool robot: skims the surface, cleans floor, walls, waterline, corners, steps and shallows with a 38,000 l/h pump, maps with an underwater laser, runs six hours a charge and parks at the surface.
- Beatbot72
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra

- Beatbot72
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.
