I thought might brand new pool was pretty clean besides a few leaves. But the cleaner picked up some fine sediment and other debris. I don't know about the longevity, but for 159.00 I'll take a chance. I don't need wall or step cleaning as I can brush on occasion as needed. My pool is a rectangle 30x13 and 4, 4.5, 5 foot depths. Simple, easy to operate and lightweight. It ran for exactly 2 hours on the mode selected. So for my pool, it's a good start and will have to see about longevity. I would recommend this cleaner as of this time of purchase.
Bought the unit from WRBOT website. Quick shipping and near 0 setup needed. Charged the unit, downloaded the app. Configured it through the app and through it to my pool. Worked on itself to clean the wall then the floor like a charm! After it’s done, it sits on the side and I just need to pull it out and clean the basket. Cleaning the basket is easy too - I just dump the basket and dip it to a bucket filled with water a couple of times and place the clean basket back on to the cleaner. I use it every other day, it saves time for my pool guy and now my pool is much much cleaner!
We have used it a few times now and it works perfectly and is so easy! Keeps the pool floor and walls nice and clean with no effort on my end! It is amazing! 😁 We have a vinyl pool lining and it climbs the wall with ease.
This is our first auto pool cleaner so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but have been very happy with it so far.
it works great.
it has a little issue figuring out the large sun shelf .
So it was snowing in Pa yesterday,once the pool is open I will give a review about wybot C1 robotic pool cleaner
The reason I purchased the cleaner because of the positive reviews
I bought the hand held cleaner last year and I love it for the stairs etc
Replaced a
Polaris pool cleaner with the Wybot. Glad I did. Set up was pretty easy even for a non-techno like me. Ran the program and couldn’t have been happier. Yes, you can’t communicate with cleaner under water but couldn’t with the Polaris either, oh wait couldn’t out the water either. Worth the look if your in the market.
Saves so much time. Picks up debris so pump filter doesn’t. Thank so much
The caveat is that it is not without flaws. Unless I missed something in the included pamphlet, I have 'questions/issues'. We are instructed to charge fully before the first use but are NOT to set the unit on deck surface in the sun to do so (page 13 of manual). Also, 'Charge the cleaner every three months to ensure optimal battery life' (page 12 in the manual). So, how is a full charge achieved? The F1 has a DC port but no charger is provided or available on the Wybot site (at least I couldn't find one). Would appreciate details on a DC charger to purchase or better yet, offer one on the Wybot site. Be really great if the charger from S2 pool cleaner worked on the F1 skimmer. Other than these issues, it really does the job. I have a lot of live oaks around my pool and have to empty the filter more than once but still less effort than manual skimming. All in all, a pretty slick product.
I have a 15k gallon pool. This is perfect for our pool. I'm impressed with the fact it really does climb the wall and gets most of the tile! So far so good!
Read this before considering competitor products. I previously purchased a top of the line AIPER wireless vacuum 2 years ago. I returned it. It did not have tractor wheels and it kept getting stuck on drains. I instead purchased a WYBOT (the Osprey 700). I used the Osprey 700 the past few years excessively and I haven't done a great job taking care of it. It has continued to function despite my negligence. This year I thought I would upgrade out of boredom. Again, I read extensive reviews which place beatbot and Aiper at the top of the list. For reasons unknown to me, WYBOT is rarely mentioned in the reviews. I have done two runs so far with the WYBOT C2 AI and I am thoroughly impressed. The first run was using the AI camera directed dirt finding mode. It did a very good job. My pool appeared spotless. Next, I did a run using the finer filtration which needs to run in turbo floor mode. I didn't think it would yield anything given how clean my pool appeared. However, it captured a lot of non visible sand with the fine filter in place. My next test will be the walls as I have an area with algae build up that I have been saving to evaluate this bot. Regardless of how it performs on the walls in my upcoming test, I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the ease of use, the efficiency, and the app interface. I have tried and researched several pool robots over the years (including more than what I mentioned above). This is easily the best pool cleaner I have used. I have not tried the new Aiper or Beatbot models which are rated very high. That said, I don't need to. This WYBOT product is great. I am very pleased with thr money I spent on this. Great value. Strongly consider this product before committing to one of the other brands that appear to put more money into their marketing. I'm not saying the other brands are bad. I am saying the WYBOT C2 AI vision bot is great!
I’ve had the robot for about 3 weeks now. Overall, I’m pleased.
I bought this robot when my Maytronics Dolphin CC Plus stopped functioning. I had that model for several years, so my review is largely based on my experience with that robot vs. the Wybot S2.
The Wybot S2 does a good job. However, there are some key differences between it and the Dolphin CC Plus.
- Wireless: This is a nice feature considering there is no cable lying around, nor do you have to gather it up when storing the robot. However, removing the Wybot from the pool is now a bit more cumbersome, since I need to get my pool pole, sometime switch the attachment to the Wybot hook, etc. Versus a cable robot where I can gently “reel” the robot in by hand by pulling gently on the cord. (Advantage: Draw)
- Charging: Since it’s wireless, it of course, needs charging. The robot has to be removed from the pool after every cleaning to charge it back up. While this is entirely understandable, it is more hassle than a corded model. (Advantage: Dolphin CC Plus)
- Debris Basket: The debris basket in the Wybot is larger than those in the Dolphin CC Plus. However, there are 2x baskets in the Dolphin CC Plus, so I’m not sure if either has more total volume for debris. Emptying and cleaning out one basket is much better than two. However, the debris trapping method for the Wybot S2 (rubber flap) is inferior to that of the Dolphin CC Plus (flowing fabric sleeve). When the Wybot collects larger debris (think pine needles), they don’t make it all the way through the flap entirely into the basket. And since that debris may sit for several hours at least before it’s emptied, I’ve noticed the rubber flap has begun to hold the form of being curved up on the edges – leaving slight gap for debris to escape when removing the robot form the pool. The last thing we want to see is a bunch of sediment pouring into the nice, clean pool as you remove the robot. Pine needles also got stuck in the “sleeve” of the Dolphin CC Plus basket, but I never noticed debris pouring out of the Dolphin when removing it from the pool. And the debris escaping the Wybot is definitely noticeable. (Advantage: Dolphin CC Plus)
- Programming: I am still surprised that, at these price points, there’s no “steering” capability, or some kind of capability to communicate to the robot while it’s working, and to give it a command to perhaps do something differently. However, I believe the Mode options for the Wybot S2 provide more options and control than the Dolphin CC Plus. The Dolphin only has options for how often you want it to run. The Wybot offers settings to have it focus on: Floor only, Walls only, or Both. That’s nice. I don’t think it needs to climb the walls every day. So, I can have it spend the entire cycle on the bottom of the pool picking up debris for most days, then integrate the walls here and there. And it doesn’t seem to get stuck in tight corners like the Dolphin did. (Advantage: Wybot S2).
- Price: I don’t recall exactly, but I remember the Wybot S2 was several hundred dollars less expensive than the Dolphin CC Plus, which is the primary reason I chose to try out the Wybot S2. (Advantage: Wybot S2)
Subjective stuff: The Wybot S2 looks cooler. Great aesthetics. And the fact that I have to pull it out of the pool after every clean will likely result in less color-fading (I would leave the Dolphin CC Plus in the pool for extended periods of time when we weren’t swimming for a few days. The sun would fade the plastic, and the pool water would erode the cable).
I have been using it now for 10 days. It absolutely delivered all the promise on the web site and adds. Easy to program, and removes even the tiniest pieces such as beach sand.
I is rather heavy to remove out water, but totally doable with the Provider hook.
It is still rather new to me, so I can not make recommendations as far as longevity. But as of now, I wonder why I didn’t do this earlier.
I have tested this pool vacuum on a couple of settings and it works well. It charges quickly and thoroughly cleans the pool - bottom, walls, tile. We love it, so fâr.
I received my WYBOT C1, however it is still cold here in Virginia. As a result, I have not had a chance to operate it. It arrived in what appears to be good condition. I will fill out another review once I have it operational in my pool.
This is the best and easiest to use pool cleaner ever built in my opinion. I have told as many people about it as I possibly can, my next purchase will be the skimmer.
Great robot. Picks up dirt and leaves from bottom of pool and scrubs the walls. Easy to use. Highly recommended.
This thing is incredible and does a fantastic job plus it’s easy to setup and operate
Im on my first week and love this new vacuum. I did follow the instructions for mounting the based to my tile pool and the 3m tape provided didnt last but a couple of days and bought some heavy duty Extra Large Double Sided Tape. You can find a link below for those having challenges with the 3m tape provided.

It does a great job. My old cleaner always left behind some fine dust and sand at the bottom, but this one picked up everything. I added a secondary HEPA filter to this one and set it to Turbo mode. When I cleaned the filter, there was a layer of mud stuck to it, which shows how much it removed. The pool bottom remained clean even after settling, so I can use my pool with more confidence now.
I've tried a few pool cleaners before, but this one is by far the smartest. I used it after a pool party, and it seriously impressed me. I turned on Dirt Hunting Mode, and the AI camera somehow tracked down every bit of debris—like it actually had eyes. It cleaned up almost everything in about 15 minutes, and I didn't notice any major spots left behind. Way better than my old cleaner, which would take two hours to follow some preset path and still miss huge areas. Definitely glad I upgraded!
I can't wait to get this vacuum into my pool. I have checked reviews for it and I think that I am going to love this thing. I tested the suction strength in my bathtub and it seems quite powerful. The whole machine feels solidly built. I love the fact that there are so many setting options, from the type of pool you have, the shape, the liner etc. Then you have choices in floor cleaning, floor and walls, water line etc.
I will be opening my pool in three or four weeks and then I will add to my video review to show you how well it is working.
There are two filters in this vacuum, the regular one and an extra fine one that you can use when you are turbo cleaning the floor of your pool.
It comes with a thick plastic hook that you can attach your pool net pole to so you can fish this out of the water without having to go in and get it.
