WYBOT Pool Cleaner Comparison
WYBOT builds its range as a ladder: every step up buys a specific upgrade in coverage, runtime, filtration, or intelligence. That makes choosing straightforward once you see the models side by side. This guide compares the seven most decision-relevant cleaners in the 2026 lineup - from the entry A1 to the self-emptying S3 flagship - using specifications from WYBOT's official product documentation. Prices shown are current store prices and may change with promotions.
All models below are from a single manufacturer. RoboticsSelect is an authorized dealer; specifications come from the manufacturer's official documentation.

Three more standalone models fill out the range. The C2 ($499.99) is the C2 Vision without the camera - same 2,152 sq ft coverage and dual-layer filtration. The S2 Solar Vision ($1,599.99) adds the AI camera to the solar-dock platform. And the F1 ($299.98) is a solar surface skimmer that runs a V-shaped path with ultrasonic obstacle avoidance, collecting debris before it sinks - available on its own or in eight Full Pool Solution bundles that pair it with a robot at a saving over buying separately, from $439.99 (A1 & F1) to $1,799.99 (S2 Solar Vision & F1).
Which WYBOT should you buy?
WYBOT A1
Choose this if you have an above-ground or flat-bottom in-ground pool up to about 1,076 square feet (floor slope under 15 degrees) and want a real robotic cleaner at the lowest price in the range: 2,280 GPH dual-motor suction, a dual-layer 180-micron filter, and up to 120 minutes per charge with a 2.5-hour recharge. It cleans floors only. Drop it in and it starts on its own; the WYBOT app is optional. Also useful as a floor-only helper in larger pools.
WYBOT B1
From $334.93Choose this if you have a small pool - up to about 1,150 square feet - and want full coverage from a robot you can lift with one hand. Despite the compact body it cleans floors, walls, waterline, steps, and slopes with patented edge-to-edge side brushes, runs up to 120 minutes, and takes app-customized routes. Three colorways are available.
WYBOT C1
Choose this if you want the cheapest path to full floor-wall-waterline cleaning with app scheduling. Water-jet reaction holds it against the wall while it scrubs the waterline, and five cleaning modes cover routine and targeted runs in pools up to about 1,615 square feet.
WYBOT C2 Vision
Choose this if you want camera intelligence at a mid-range price. The onboard AI camera powers Dirt Hunting mode, which targets the dirtiest floor areas first, plus camera-based obstacle avoidance and a 10-micron ultra-fine filter layer for pollen and fine silt. Eight modes and seven route patterns give full control for pools to about 2,152 square feet.
WYBOT S2
Choose this if you have a large pool and want maximum runtime without camera extras. Up to 210 minutes per charge covers pools to 3,230 square feet, a 3-hour quick charge keeps turnaround short, and three on-unit modes mean the phone can stay in your pocket.
WYBOT S2 Solar
Choose this if you never want to lift a cleaner out of the water again. The S2 Solar lives in your in-ground pool on its underwater solar charging dock: it cleans, returns to the dock when the battery drops below 20 percent, recharges on sunlight (with a DC backup), and goes again on your weekly schedule.
WYBOT S3
Choose this if you want the closest thing to a pool that cleans itself. WYBOT's flagship maps the pool in 3D, targets debris with its AI Vision camera, and - the headline - docks, recharges, and empties its debris into a 10-liter self-sanitising shore bin on its own. WYBOT rates hands-on maintenance at about once a month.
WYBOT comparison FAQs
What does the camera on the Vision models actually add?
The C2 Vision and S2 Solar Vision carry a forward-facing AI camera with an onboard visual algorithm. Its headline feature is Dirt Hunting: instead of sweeping the whole floor blind, the cleaner identifies where debris is concentrated and targets those areas - WYBOT rates AI Vision floor mode at up to 20 times faster for spot cleaning. The camera also improves obstacle avoidance. On those models it is debris detection rather than full 3D pool mapping - the flagship S3 is the one WYBOT that maps the pool - and it works best in reasonably clear water.
Can I run a WYBOT without the app?
Yes, for the cordless models: each starts a default cycle from the power button, and the S2 offers three modes selectable on the unit itself. The A1 runs from its power button with no phone needed for basic operation, and it is also WYBOT app compatible. The WYBOT app (Wi-Fi) adds mode and route selection, weekly scheduling of up to four cleanings, and over-the-air firmware updates on the app-connected models. The dock-based S3 is the exception - its scheduling, spot cleaning, and live tracking live in the app.
