The worst part of owning a pool is trying to keep it clean. Removing debris, scrubbing the walls and floor, and managing water quality is practically a part-time job, making a backyard oasis more hassle than expected. Beatbot hopes to make that a thing of the past with the reveal of the AquaSense Pro at CES 2024 — a comprehensive robotic pool cleaner that automates most of these processes.

Digital Trends was compensated for consideration of coverage for this product. Beatbot did not receive copy approval and did not influence the coverage.

While most competitors will clean either the bottom of your pool or the surface, the Beatbot manages to do both using a chamber that fills with water to sink the bot like a submarine and then empties to float. Using an accompanying smartphone app, you can have the robot clean the floor and walls of your pool, skim debris off the surface, and even improve the clarity of your water by automatically dispensing chemicals based on the size of your pool.

Along with over a dozen sensors — including dual gyroscopes and ultrasonic sensors — the AquaSense Pro is built with nine motors, four brushes, and two filters. All these components allow it to easily cruise around the water, scrubbing surfaces and filtering particles up to 150 micrometers in size.

Best of all, it’ll run for nearly 10 hours before needing a recharge. Unlike many robotic cleaners available today, the AquaSense Pro is entirely wireless. This means you won’t have to worry about wired tangling during operation or preventing the robot from reaching all corners of your pool.

Using the Beatbot app, you can choose from several cleaning modes, including a quick clean or eco-clean mode. Once the cleaning is complete, the robot will return to the surface for easy retrieval. For peace of mind, the product comes with a two-year warranty and will receive periodic over-the-air updates to improve its performance.

The Beatbot AquaSense Pro is now available to preorder for $1,699, with a $500 discount that will go away after 1,000 orders. A less robust version without water clarification or surface cleaning, the AquaSense, is also available to preorder for $999, with a $300 discount that will go away after 1,000 order.

Are robotic pool cleaners worth it?

The worst part of owning a swimming pool is taking care of it From filter maintenance and skimming debris from the surface to managing chemicals and more, you'll likely find yourself hanging out around the water more often than you're actually in the water. Robotic pool cleaners are designed to alleviate this pinch point of pool ownership by giving you back your time and automating most of your tasks.

But are robotic pool cleaners worth it, or are they a gimmick that still require heaps of manual input? Here's a closer look to help you decide if one would be a good addition to your backyard.

Eureka shows off an innovative robot vacuum with a belt mopping system at CES 2024

When it comes to robot vacuums and mops, most models employ one of two methods to clean your floors -- a vibrating mop plate or spinning mop pads. Eureka is doing things a bit differently this year, as the team revealed the J20 Robotic Vacuum and Floor Washer at CES 2024, which uses an innovative new belt mop design.

The so-called RollRenew mopping system features a cycling belt mop, a dual water tank, and five water nozzles. As the robot rolls its mop across your floors, the nozzles will continuously spray water, cleaning up stains and soaking up spills. The dirty portion of the mop is then cleaned by a scraper located under the robot, forcing the dirty water into a wastewater reservoir.

Segway expands its smart home footprint with robot lawn mowers at CES 2024
The Segway i Series being set up.

Segway -- the company responsible for Paul Blart's preferred mode of transportation -- already has a surprisingly robust smart home lineup. The company expanded its catalog at CES 2024, revealing a new series of robot lawn mowers (Navimow i Series) and a new portable power station (Segway Cube Series).

The upcoming Navimow i Series makes a few big improvements over Segway's existing H Series. Along with the ability to work without wires (which are typically used to set boundaries for the robot), the i Series employs a technology known as the Exact Fusion Locating System (EFLS). Segway says this will let the robot lawn mower better track its location and ensure it's cutting your lawn as close to specifications as possible.
