The Beatbot Sora 10 is a cordless robotic pool cleaner that is available for $449. The original price of the robot is $699, making it a $250 wholesome discount. In summary, the robot can clean pool floors, walls, waterlines and shallow platforms for up to five hours per charge, as the company claims.
It is available in three shades: Mint Green, Dark Mint and Royal Blue. Although, we can’t say anything if the color changes with all the green residue of your pool.
At the time of writing, Amazon shows that the Sora 10 holds a 4.1-star rating based on 116 reviews, with over 50 units purchased during the past week.
Cleans pool floors, walls and waterlines
The Sora 10 is compatible with above-ground and in-ground pools. According to Beatbot, it works with concrete, ceramic tile, vinyl and fiberglass surfaces, as well as rectangular, round, kidney-shaped and freeform pools.
Its cleaning coverage includes floors, walls, waterlines and shallow platforms. SonicSense obstacle avoidance uses 11 sensors, including an ultrasonic sensor, to navigate around obstacles. The robot follows an S-shaped route when cleaning the pool floor rather than moving randomly.
The Sora 10 provides three cleaning modes. Floor mode focuses on the bottom of the pool, Standard mode covers the floor, walls and waterline, while Eco mode is designed for routine maintenance.
Five-hour runtime and 6,800GPH suction
Beatbot rates the Sora 10 for up to 6,800GPH of suction. Its two front roller brushes use differential speeds to scrub pool surfaces, while a 6.7-inch intake collects leaves, hair, sand, insects and other debris.
Collected material is stored inside a 5-liter filter basket. The included 150-micron filter is intended for routine debris collection, although Beatbot sells an optional 3-micron filter for finer particles and algae.
The robot has a 7,800mAh battery, that is claimed to provide up to five hours of floor-only cleaning. Runtime falls to approximately four hours when the robot cleans the floor, walls and waterline. Beatbot claims maximum floor coverage of 3,299ft² per charge.
After completing a cycle, the robot automatically parks at the waterline for easier retrieval. This avoids the need to search for it at the bottom of the pool, although the 18.74lb unit must still be lifted out and placed on charge manually.
The battery takes approximately 3.5 hours to recharge using the included 65W charger. Other specifications include IPX8 water resistance, Bluetooth, dual-band Wi-Fi and support for the Beatbot app on Android, iOS and Apple Watch.
