<\/a><\/p>\nSummary<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
One thing to love about Aquabot is that they never stop innovating. Product after product, they push the limits on\u00a0technology and performance.<\/p>\n
Released in 2016, the Aquabot Elite robotic pool cleaner continues\u00a0that legacy.<\/p>\n
Designed for in ground pools of any shape or size, the Aquabot Elite<\/strong> is loaded with new technologies including the new\u00a0Aquasmart 2.0 microprocessor<\/strong>, patented JetForce<\/strong> technology and Adaptive Surface Traction<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe Aquabot Elite offers\u00a0higher-capacity cartridges, better pool mapping technology and increased energy efficiency over older Aquabot models like the Pura 4X and Rover Jr.<\/p>\n
It’s not the cheapest robotic pool cleaner, but it is the one of the most advanced and lightweight units you can buy for a large in ground pool.<\/p>\n
And, Aquabot’s\u00a03-year non-prorated Warranty<\/strong>\u00a0(available when you buy on Amazon, too) means you won’t have to worry about this one failing, any time soon.<\/p>\nCleaning Ability<\/h2>\n
Every aspect of design and technology in the Aquabot Elite has been focused on making it extremely good at cleaning.<\/p>\n
To give it maximum power while saving energy, the Aquabot Elite features two 24-volt DC motors<\/strong>. Operating at\u00a03000 RPM, the motors are powerful but consume\u00a0a surprisingly little amount of energy. Average running cost is 5 cents per hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\nBefore the Elite\u00a0begins cleaning, it uses the\u00a0highly advanced AquaSmart 2.0 Microprocessor Control<\/strong> to map-out your pool’s surfaces. This technology allows it to plot the best paths around the pool, minimizing wastage while ensuring a thorough clean.<\/p>\nOnce it starts moving, the Aquabot Elite leaves nothing behind, thanks to its\u00a0TripleClean Scrubbing Brushes<\/strong>. While most robotic cleaners feature one or two scrubbing brushes, this one has three. The brushes work to agitate and scrub out dirt and debris from every surface of the pool.<\/p>\nThanks to its\u00a0innovative EverGrip Rubber Tracks<\/strong>, the Elite\u00a0can reach every inch of your pool including the floor, walls, waterline, coves and stairs<\/strong>.<\/p>\nTo catch the debris it collects, the Aquabot Elite has dual high-capacity filter cartridges<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe vacuum intake ports are also wider than normal, allowing intake of larger pieces of debris and improving suction.<\/p>\n
Using the ClearView panels<\/strong>, you can visibly see when the cartridges are full<\/strong> and you can remove the filter\u00a0while the cleaner is underwater<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe Aquabot Elite’s\u00a0cleaning cycle can be programmed for 1 hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hours<\/strong>. You can also set it to clean every 2, 3 or 4 days.<\/p>\nOverall, the Aquabot Elite\u2019s cleaning technology & ability\u00a0is as good as it gets. Especially for complex-shaped in-ground pools.<\/p>\n
Unique Features<\/h2>\n1. TripleClean scrubbing brushes<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
You will not find this one in any other robotic pool cleaner. Most have at most two brushes; the Aquabot Elite has three. The result is a cleaner that does its job exceptionally well, leaving not even a speck of dirt behind.<\/p>\n
2. Easy cartridge access<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
I love this feature the most. No other robotic pool cleaner lets you\u00a0remove the filter cartridge while the unit is in the water.\u00a0Normally, you\u00a0have to lift\u00a0a\u00a0unit out and turn it over\u00a0it to remove the cartridges.\u00a0 This can be a problem for heavier units, for some older people and folks with bad backs.<\/p>\n
But\u00a0the Aquabot Elite is different.<\/p>\n
On\u00a0the Aquabot Elite, the quick-release cartridges can be removed and returned while the unit is still in the pool<\/strong>, avoiding the lift-and-turn altogether and putting\u00a0the cleaner\u00a0back to work,\u00a0faster.<\/p>\n3. Advanced microprocessor control<\/h3>\n
The Aquasmart microprocessor<\/strong> not\u00a0only maps the shape and size of your\u00a0pool, it also guides the unit around obstacles and tough surfaces such as stairs, alcoves and walls. The Elite’s modern\u00a0cleaning algorithms ensure the unit delivers\u00a0the best cleaning using\u00a0the least amount energy.<\/p>\n4. EverGrip rubber tracks<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Many robotic cleaners waste a lot of time and energy slipping and sliding\u00a0on smooth surfaces. To avoid this, the Aquabot Elite is equipped with high-traction rubber treads that\u00a0improve grip and eliminate slipping.<\/p>\n
And it works. The Elite\u00a0moves over any surface, including the walls and stairs, with ease.<\/p>\n
\n
Pros<\/h2>\n\n- Extremely energy efficient<\/strong>. You will spend\u00a0as little as 5 cents an hour to get your pool thoroughly cleaned.<\/li>\n
- Great for complex-shaped pools:<\/strong> The Aquabot Elite can clean a pool of any shape and size thanks to its highly advanced mapping technology.<\/li>\n
- Excellent cleaning ability<\/strong>. You really can clean every part of the pool including the walls, alcove, waterline and the stairs. This saves you, the\u00a0pool owner, time and energy.<\/li>\n
- Easiest\u00a0cartridge handling you will find in a robotic pool cleaner<\/strong>. The cartridge take a second to remove and you do not even have to haul the unit out of the water. Additionally, the clear view panels means that you can easily tell when it is time to clear the cartridges.<\/li>\n
- Ergonomic and lightweight design<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
