The future of pool cleaning robots is gradually taking shape. They have not evolved like vacuum robots, which now have mechanical arms, but are slowly becoming smarter, more powerful, and efficient. The latest robot cleaners can climb walls, clean your pool with minimal human effort, and even return to their base for charging autonomously. As we move into the second half of 2025, many brands have already come up with their pool cleaning robots, which we have rounded up for you below:
Beatbot AquaSense 2
Pool cleaner bots are now employing Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the AquaSense 2 Ultra is a prime example. This device uses an AI camera in combination with dual ToF sensors, two infrared sensors, and four ultrasonic sensors to map the pool as well as detect debris on the surface. It can clean pools up to 3,444 square feet in a single cycle, with a battery lasting for five hours. Featuring a dual side brush system and 5,500 GPH suction power, the pool cleaner captures dirt and debris on floors, walls, waterlines, and surfaces, as well as provides a water clarification feature. When the cleaning job is complete or the battery is low, it automatically parks above the water level for user convenience.
Dreame Z1 Pro
Dreame introduced the Z1 Pro during CES 2025 earlier this year, and it is now available to purchase. This cordless pool-cleaning robot automatically recognises the shape of your pool and adjusts its cleaning pattern for maximum coverage. With dual brush technology and 8,000 GPH (gallons per hour) suction, it can capture leaves, debris, hair, and other particles effectively. There are multiple modes for wall, floor, and waterline cleaning. The pool cleaning bot also includes a handheld remote with Li-Fi technology that can be used for manual cleaning. The return-to-dock functionality is also a cool feature. The robotic pool cleaner runs for up to four hours and covers a maximum area of 2,160 square feet.
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max
Powered by a 9-motor system, the Scuba X1 Pro Max can generate 8,500 GPH suction force, making it the most powerful on our list. With such a power, it can gather leaves, grit, and debris while also scrubbing the walls, floor, and waterline with its brush. It utilizes OmniSense+ 2.0 technology that makes use of 40 sensors to map pools of different shapes and sizes. Aiper says it can clean fa loor for up to five hours and can tackle pools up to 3,230 square feet on a single battery charge. There are five cleaning modes, and you can control them using the companion app. When the battery level drops below 15 percent, this all-in-one pool-cleaning solution automatically returns to the surface for easy retrieval.
Valor L20 by SMOROBOT
This app-controlled pool cleaner with 6,400 GPH suction can effectively handle debris of various sizes. It offers a 5.5-hour runtime, making it ideal for large in-ground pools. Using radar detection, it can easily navigate in the pool, avoid obstacles like steps and drains. The L20 parks at the waterline, which means you do not have to manually get it out of the water after the cleaning session. It uses 180μm & 80μm double filter kits for efficient filtration.
WYBOT S3
The WYBOT S3 features a self-docking, self-emptying design that adds even more convenience to pool cleaning. After every cleaning cycle, it transfers collected debris into a 10-liter base station above the ground that can store debris for up to 30 days. Another standout feature is that it utilizes solar energy for charging, which means you can save a lot on electricity bills. It can run for 1.5 hours after a single day of solar charging. The pool cleaner is equipped with multiple ultrasonic sensors that help it create a 3D map of your pool to maximize efficiency. It uses an onboard camera and AI-powered debris detection technology to detect the debris. It is efficient in its job, but users can also monitor the cleaning process in real-time and even make adjustments via the mobile app.
