NOTE: in 2020, Aquabot closed its doors and stopped making robotic pool cleaners.<\/strong><\/p>\n The following article represents our latest review of their product before the company shut down.<\/strong><\/p>\n To see other top-rated pool cleaners, check out the following guides on this site:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a> The Aquabot<\/span> S300 and S600 are high-performance but pocket-friendly robotic pool cleaners.<\/p>\n The S600 is the premium version with extra features like a weekly timer, multiple cycle options, and longer floating cable.<\/p>\n The S300 is a great choice for those who are looking for a reliable but affordable robotic pool cleaner.<\/p>\n Both models come with a 3-year limited warranty.<\/p>\n If neither robot cleaner meets your needs, see our top picks<\/span> for more recommendations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> Weight:<\/strong> 23lbs<\/p>\n Pool type:<\/strong> In-ground pools of up to 40 feet<\/p>\n Coverage:<\/strong> Floor, partial walls and cove<\/p>\n Cable:<\/strong> 50\u2019 floating cable with swivel<\/p>\n Caddy included:<\/strong> No<\/p>\n Weekly timer:<\/strong> no<\/p>\n Remote control:<\/strong> no<\/p>\n Cleaning cycle:<\/strong> 1.5hrs<\/p>\n Filter rate:<\/strong> 75 GPM<\/p>\n Warranty:<\/strong> 3 years<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Weight:<\/strong> 25lbs<\/p>\n Pool type:<\/strong> In-ground pools of up to 50 feet<\/p>\n Coverage:<\/strong> Floor, walls, cove, and waterline<\/p>\n Cable:<\/strong> 60\u2019 floating cable with swivel<\/p>\n Caddy included:<\/strong> Yes<\/p>\n Weekly timer:<\/strong> Yes<\/p>\n Remote control:<\/strong> no<\/p>\n Cleaning cycle:<\/strong> 1hr, 1.5hrs, and 2hrs<\/p>\n Filter rate:<\/strong> 75 GPM<\/p>\n Warranty:<\/strong> 3 years<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The S300\u2019s cleaning performance is not as good as the S600\u2019s but it still does a great job removing algae, leaves and other debris from your pool<\/span>.<\/p>\n Its main limitation is that it cannot climb the pool wall. So it only partially scrubs the wall.<\/p>\n But it does a great job on the pool floor and cove. An active scrubbing brush and a vibrating sweeper brush remove debris stuck on the pool surface while the onboard pump vacuums it into the filter cartridge.<\/p>\n The Aquabot S300 cleans a standard in-ground pool in around 1.5 hours.<\/p>\n Note that the S300 is designed only for in-ground pools of up to 40\u2019. Because of the shorter cable, you cannot use it in a longer 50\u2019 pool.<\/p>\n Of the two robot pool cleaners, the S600 is the workhorse. It has more power, allowing it to provide complete pool coverage including the floor, cove, walls, and waterline.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t want to do any manual scrubbing, the S600 is the one to go for (though you may still need to manually clean the steps).<\/p>\n It has the same set of brushes as the S300 and powerful suction to vacuum both large and small debris into the filter cartridge.<\/p>\n The Aquabot S600 cleans a standard pool in around 1.5 hours. If you want a quicker clean, there\u2019s a 1hr cycle option. For a deeper clean, there\u2019s a 2hr option.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both the S300 and S600 are equipped with Aquabot\u2019s AquaSmart Gyro System that allows the robots to memorize your pool shape and layout.<\/p>\n This makes future cleanings easier and more efficient.<\/p>\n Both also move on rubber treads rather than wheels. This has two big advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n Each robot has an active scrubbing brush and a vibrating sweeper brush that agitates dirt and grime stuck on the walls and floor of the pool. As the brush loosens the debris, the onboard pump sucks the water through the filter.<\/p>\n Each robot has two filter cartridges that hold plenty of debris. They can also capture both large and tiny bits.<\/p>\n Removing and cleaning the cartridges is so easy that you can do it while the cleaner is still in the water.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Available in: <\/strong>S300 and S600<\/p>\n Both pool cleaners<\/span> have a swivel cable to prevent tangling as they move about in the pool. The swivels can turn a full 360 degrees to keep up with the robot\u2019s movements.<\/p>\n Available in: <\/strong>S300 and S600<\/p>\n Dual filters allow the robot to remove both large and small bits of debris from leaves and twigs to algae and fine sand.<\/p>\n As I mentioned, the filters are easy to remove. The access hatch is at the top so you don\u2019t have to turn over the robot.<\/p>\n Available in: <\/strong>S600<\/p>\n The S600 will alert you when the cartridge is full via the control panel on the power unit.<\/p>\n Available in: <\/strong>S600<\/p>\n You can choose from a 1hr, 1.5hr or 2hr cleaning cycle depending on the state of your pool. 1.5hr is the default cycle.<\/p>\n Select the 2hr option at the beginning of the season to remove leaves and built-up algae. Select the 1hr option if you want to use the pool as soon as possible.<\/p>\n Available in: <\/strong>S600<\/p>\n You can set how often you want the robot to automatically clean the pool. This is handy if you spend a lot of time away from home.<\/p>\n Available in: <\/strong>S600<\/p>\n The Aquabot S600 comes with a free caddy for transporting and storing the robot. This is great because the S600 is quite hefty and is a pain to move by hand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You are looking for an affordable but high-performance robotic pool cleaner for your in-ground pool.<\/p>\n You\u2019d like a pool cleaner that scrubs the walls to the waterline.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also not ideal if you want a pool cleaner with a scheduling feature or if you have a 50\u2019 pool.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You are looking for a high-performance in-ground pool cleaner and you don\u2019t mind paying a bit more for it.<\/p>\n You are looking for a budget robotic pool cleaner.<\/p>\n Also not ideal if you want a robot pool cleaner with a remote control or app control<\/span> (via Bluetooth) that you can navigate manually for spot cleaning.<\/p>\n The best place to buy Aquabot S300 Prime Robotic Pool Cleaner is Amazon, where you’ll often find the best deal.<\/p>\n\n
