Can you do a soundbar or sound system review for home theater different budgets
what about the Dolphin cordless? the Liberty ?
I have a Acapulco deck, about 8" deep and 8'x8' and 16" deep 8'x8'. My corded dolphin won't go in the 18" deep. Which do you think would work the best for that?
Got the Seauto Seal last August from Amazon @ $350. Loved it until 2w ago when you pressed the power button, it would start running right away, out of the water and you couldn't change modes. Now the power light faintly flashes when you try to turn it on. The charging PSU properly tests 26v. Seauto finally replied after two emails over 2w, and I sent them a vid per their request, and I'll report back what they do. I love that you tested support access .
I bought the aiper s1 pro had it for 2 days and returned it to Amazon. It couldn't navigate my pool's geometry with sloped floors and perimeter ledge 3 feet below water line so water line feature became useless. I replaced with maytronics dolphin sigma a $400 price difference but I've had it for 3 weeks and it does a significant better job cleaning. Climbs up to whole wall to get the water line. I'm surprised none of the dolphin pool bots made it into the video… I do love this channel and the thorough reviews of the types of products that I'm interested in using. Keep up the good content.
THE most comprehensive review of cordless pool robots! I had ordered the Aiper Scuba S1 but now cancelled because it doesn't have a fine filter and I get a lot of fine sand here on the Spanish coast. Now looking at Wybot S2 (without dock) despite a really bad experience with their M1 Utlra (via a Kickstarter campaign) last year.
have you tried the lydsto s3? looks simple, not massive but pretty smart and effective. ?
This dude measured the filter hole sizes! Bravo. I just smiled and looked around in disbelief at this nerdy info. I appreciate you
I got the seaauto seal after watching your first video on it and absolutely loved it until about 5 months later it started to have issues and wasn't cleaning like it used to. I tried contacting them several times via email and phone, and there no response whatsoever. Thankfully, I purchased through Amazon, and they were able to do an almost full refund, so I'm trying to find another brand that's similar but from a real company with customer support.
I got the Crab because of you (hopefully nobody has ever said those words to you before now haha). It does a great job, especially considering it's almost 75% of the cost of the winner here. My moms pool was neglected, algae growing the the floors and walls, and we just power-washed the paver-patio surrounding it so there was a LOT of debris in there. I watched it go over the debris field and thought i'd be sending it back, but it did it. In one cleaning it got about 85% of the debris and algae cleared up, by the second run, the pool looked GREAT!
We still have our first sweet pool-cleaner attached with a cable since we built our beautiful stainless steel pool 12 years ago – and it still works, to my yearly astonishment! But there will be a day when he gives up, so this is very helpful video. One point for me will certainly be: What is available, at what price with what support here in Switzerland, in the middle of Europe. Thx!
s2 pro vs s2? seems like mainly just the in pool charging dock. i guess that's convenient, but not sure i like a power cord running across the pool deck or the chance of it being toasted by a power surge.
who else is going crazy trying to figure out what to get?
what about dolphin models?
Can you test radar detectors? There is so many options and so many different price points and it’s hard to make a choice.
So nothing from maytronics? Wow
Great video, as usual. Thanks. What cameras do you use for shooting under water?
I don't have a pool but watched anyway because The Hook Up has helped me countless times over the years.
Can you get an extra filter cartridge for the wybot & change out the cartridge from docking station in pool so you never have to remove it from docking station?
But – can you chase the kids around the pool with the app? Can it play the Jaws theme while doing so? Note: This is the best review I have ever seen on these devices. Thank you for this.
pfft my maytronics dolphin bio M5 cost significantly more than any of these robots, and despite it's claims it doesnt even climb the walls. But robots designed for natural swimming ponds are a lot more expensive and admittely the walls of swimming ponds are very slippery.
You really need/needed to include the beatbot pro. I had the aipier s1 and returned it for the beatbot pro and this thing is a tank and since owning it I haven't dragged my hose out once.
I don't even have a pool, and here I am watching another pool cleaner video. Another great comparo.
I've been using a Maytronics Dolphin E70 for 3 years. It would be great to see that or any Maytronics robot in your comparison. Their tech and warranty support has been really good.
– Martha! The neighbors are cleaning their pool again! What are they doing to make the pool that dirty?
Hello my fellow pool enjoyers.
How are robo lawn mowers these days by the way? Are they a bit cheaper yet?
@7:04 Floor coverage is 95%, Wall coverage is 65% – Text on screen is flipped. That nitpick aside, excellent review as always!
Did some of the charts get mixed up with the leaf and sand scores? You said the Beatbot was much worse at sand, but got the same score as two of the others, and the numbers at the end don’t seem to match the numbers earlier in the video.
