An electric robotic cleaner operates independently from your pool's filtration system and is designed to meet a wide range of cleaning needs.
Why Choose an Electric Robotic Pool Cleaner?
Posted on Monday, 14 July 2025
To choose the right model, consider several key factors: the size and shape of your pool, as well as its surface type.
In recent years, the introduction of wireless robotic cleaners has transformed the way we maintain pools. With no cumbersome cables to manage, these robots are lighter, take up less space, and offer smoother movement—especially around obstacles like ladders or floating skimmers. They’re agile, easy to transport and store, and impressively efficient.
💡 Tip: If your pool includes a deep end or a safety ledge (a perimeter step built into the pool), it’s best to choose a 4-wheel-drive (4WD) model. These are specifically designed to navigate challenging layouts and climb over such features with ease.
Electric vs. Pressure Cleaners: A Clear Advantage
Unlike pressure-side cleaners, electric robotic models are equipped with rigid, easy-to-clean filters and boast a generous debris capacity—ranging from 3 to 5 liters, with convenient top-access lids for hassle-free emptying.
The filtration precision also varies by model:
60 microns (µ) for double-filtration units, perfect for fine debris
Up to 200 microns for capturing larger particles
The Best of Pool Tech: Polaris W Line Robots
Effortless Removal from Water
With just a press of a button—either on the control unit or via the mobile app—the Polaris W Line robot automatically moves to the nearest wall and climbs to the waterline. Once there, a strong rear water jet expels excess water, making the unit lighter and easier to lift out by the handle.
Smart Navigation with Gyroscope & Sensors
All W Line models are equipped with advanced gyroscopes and sensors, allowing them to avoid obstacles and adapt their cleaning path to the unique shape and layout of your pool.
Swivel Cable System
W Line models also feature a swivel mechanism that significantly reduces cable tangling, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation.
Built-in Connectivity
Stay in control from anywhere. All W Line iQ models come with integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling remote operation via smartphone or computer. Depending on the model, you can:
Monitor cleaning progress in real time
Schedule cleanings over a 7-day period
Select from 2 to 6 cleaning programs
Check water temperature at a glance
