The original AquaSense Series was wildly popular when it hit the market in early 2024, and at CES 2025, Beatbot officially revealed its successor, the AquaSense 2 Series. Consisting of three robotic pool cleaners and starting at $1,500, Series 2 models are designed to automate all aspects of pool cleaning. The high-end AquaSense 2 Ultra even incorporates AI technology into the mix, promising a superior clean.

AquaSense 2 is the most affordable of the trio at $1,499, yet the three-in-one pool cleaner is still pretty well-rounded. It can clean floors, walls, and the waterline, and can run for up to four hours before needing a recharge. Toss in obstacle detection, four unique cleaning modes, and an array of 16 sensors, and it’s well-suited for most pools.

Step up to the AquaSense 2 Pro at $2,499, and you’ll get a handful of additional features. These include the ability to clean the water surface and carry out water clarification tasks. It even benefits from six additional sensors and manual remote navigation so you can help it navigate any tricky sections of your pool.

The most impressive robot in the lineup is the AquaSense 2 Ultra — though it carries the premium price of $3,450. That makes it one of the most expensive robotic pool cleaners on the market. However, it backs up that eye-watering price tag with plenty of features you won’t find anywhere else. Its coolest feature is HybridSense AI Pool Mapping, which uses an array of 27 sensors to clean the surface, waterline, floor, and walls, as well as perform water clarification tasks. Unlike the other two robots, it also features two side brushes for an improved clean.

All three are designed to work with above-ground and in-ground pools and cover 300 square meters. They can also handle pools of any shape, ensuring they’re a good fit for nearly all shoppers. The AquaSense 2 Ultra is the most exciting of the trio, as its AI capabilities should make it a serious upgrade over the existing AquaSense Pro. Compared to the old AquaSense Pro, it gets you two additional motors and seven additional sensors, along with AI support, and it’s poised to make a splash when it hits the market on February 10.

If you can’t wait until February, check out the best robotic pool cleaners for a list of alternatives that are available right now.

Lymow shows off robotic lawn mower with mulching blades, tracked treads at CES
The Lymow One cutting through grass.

Lymow is hoping to shake up the robotic lawn mower industry later this year with the Lymow One -- an upcoming mower equipped with mulching blades and unique tracked treads. The team’s goal is to “fully replace traditional mowers,” making your lawn maintenance routine easier than ever before. The Lymow One was on full display at CES 2025, and it boasts an impressive list of stats that make it a smart home gadget to watch ahead of its launch in April.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Lymow One is its mowing deck, which houses professional-grade mulching blades. These are common on ride-on and traditional lawnmowers and should provide a better cut than the metal sheet swing blades found on many other robotic lawn mowers. The two blades are powered by a brushless motor capable of a peak output of 1,200 watts (spinning them at 6,000 RPM and cutting at a width of 16 inches). In other words, it should have no problem cutting through even the most overgrown of backyards.

This new robot might be the best way to keep your pool clean

Beatbot is no stranger to swimming pools, as the company already has several aquatic robots in its catalog. But the upcoming Beatbot iSkim Ultra might be its most exciting, as it brings heaps of cool innovations to the table that should keep your pool in pristine condition all summer long.

As its name suggests, the Beatbot iSkim Ultra is a robotic pool skimmer that removes leaves, cottonwood seeds, flowers, grass, pollen, and other debris from the water's surface. BeatBot says it can filter debris as small as 380 micrometers -- so almost nothing can escape its grasp.

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.
