The Scuba V3's camera does find debris and three independent testers came away with clean pools, but a run ends near three hours, it sinks 10 minutes after parking at the waterline, and AIPER rates it for half the area of the Soras.
Cleans the floor, walls and waterline of pools up to 1614 sq ft
4800 GPH suction with dual brushes and MicroMesh multi-layer filtration in a 3.5L top-load basket
Up to 180 minutes per charge, 210 in ECO mode, and 5 hours to charge
The cordless pool robot to buy if leaves land on your water and you are home to lift it out: it skims the surface, then cleans the floor, walls and waterline. Skip it if your pool already has a skimmer or a cover, because the Sora 30 does the same work underwater.
Cleans the water surface, floor, walls, waterline and shallow platforms down to 8 inches with at least 3.3 ft x 3.3 ft of area
JetPulse water surface cleaning, the only Sora with this feature
The cordless pool robot for a large pool with a shallow sun shelf, if you are home to lift it out after most runs: it cleans the floor, walls, waterline and platforms down to 8 inches. Skip it if you want a robot that runs itself all week, because it has no weekly timer and its Eco mode only covers the floor.
Cleans the floor, walls, waterline and shallow platforms down to 8 inches, underwater only
A small, light cordless robot that cleans a plain pool floor, walls and waterline well, with the same 6,800 GPH and rated area as the Soras above it. Skip it if you need steps or a sun shelf cleaned, if your problem is algae and silt, or if nobody is home to lift it out when a run ends.
Cleans the floor, walls, waterline and shallow areas as low as 12 inches per Beatbot's spec table, underwater only; its FAQ and manual give a 0.5 m working depth
6,800 GPH suction, 5L debris basket rated to hold up to 650 leaves, 150 micron filter; Beatbot's Sora 10 page lists a 3 micron ultra-fine basket, fit unconfirmed
Up to 5 hours of cleaning per charge on the floor alone, about 4 hours covering floor, walls and waterline, on a 7,800 mAh battery; 3.5 hours to charge at 65W per the product page, 4.5 per the manual
A cordless robot with a long floor runtime, a touchscreen on the body and a three year replacement warranty, sized for a plain pool up to 19.7 by 39.4 feet. Skip it if your deep end runs past 8.2 feet, if your shallow areas sit under about 16 inches of water, or if you want to watch a run from your phone.
Cleans the floor, walls and waterline, recommended for pools up to 6 x 12 m (19.7 x 39.4 ft) between 1 and 2.5 m deep
Up to 7 hours floor only, 3.75 hours full coverage, 2.75 hours on Turbo plus full coverage, on a 7.5Ah (192Wh) battery
Up to 22,000 LPH water flow in Turbo mode, 4L basket with a 180μm mesh; iGarden's store lists a 50μm fine layer that stacks on it
