Aquabot Pool Rover S2-50 Robotic Pool Cleaner for Above-Ground and Small In-Ground Pools

There are a lot of robotic cleaners on the market today and the price point of most robotic cleaners puts them out of reach of the average consumer. But Aquabot offers a variety of lower priced robotic pool cleaners that are reliable and highly effective.

This is the Aquabot AJET122 Pool Rover S2-50 Robotic Pool Cleaner for Above-Ground and Small In-Ground Pools. The Pool Rover S2-50 is a solid robotic cleaner that is priced in the suction side cleaner range.

I will start with the things it lacks for $400 which are, no remote, doesn't climb the walls to the tile line, no tangle free cord and a 1-2 hour run time.

These are things that you can live without really if you are looking in this price range. What it comes with more than makes up for what it doesn't.

First lets start with the color of this thing - the bright yellow is super cool and eye catching. It has 50 ft of cable and a cord detangler built onto the cable. It has large debris openings on the bottom, rugged tires, brushes for scrubbing the bottom a one year warranty and it filters down to 2 microns. Better than a D.E. filter.

It works really well in my testing. Eventually after the run time it gets the entire pool covered. This cleaner basically moves back and forth with the tilt of the front axle being the main way it maneuvers around the pool. It doesn't turn but changes position gradually as it is running.

I would consider this a solid entry level robotic cleaner and one that would serve a homeowner with an above ground pool or a small or medium inground pool.

I like the easy to get to debris area. Simple press down on the cover tabs and the lid comes right off. Inside are two cloth debris bags with Velcro tops that easily open up for cleaning.

The rugged tires allows it to move over main drains or other obstacles with ease. It is also very well balanced being mostly a flat cleaner so tipping over won't happen.

It will climb the walls to the slopping area but it is mainly a bottom cleaner. Aqaubot does carry robotic cleaners that will clean the walls  if you are looking for that feature.

Bottom line, for the price point this thing has plenty of great features and will get the job done.
