Best robot pool cleaners for large pools

Cordless pool robots with the mapping and the battery to cover a big pool in one run.

A large pool is a navigation problem before it is a cleaning problem. A random-pattern robot in twelve metres of water runs its battery flat before it has found the deep end, and a cable that reaches the far wall is a cable that wraps round the ladder. Weighted on mapping and on runtime, and limited to cordless machines rated for at least 100 m².
