Aquabot Turbo Classic Robotic Pool Cleaner

This is the Aquabot Turbo Classic Robotic Pool Cleaner. Also known as the Aquabot Turbo. This cleaner has been around for over a decade and it is an original classic. There are many newer models available now but the Turbo Classic is still a solid cleaner.



It is an "Old School" design that simply works. The Turbo Classic is designed to clean the pool floors, walls and waterline. The pattern of the Aquabot Turbo Classic is what consumers like. Here is the pattern broken down for you:

In the first six half laps the cleaner finds the wall, goes up the wall for 30 seconds, while at the waterline it will move laterally and then reverse to travel to the opposite wall. The cleaner will go up the opposite wall for 30 seconds and move laterally at the waterline and then reverses again. On the 7th half lap the cleaner finds the wall, climbs it and moves laterally along the waterline for several minutes.

So the Classic Turbo will spend a lot of time on the walls and waterline. This is a good thing for some consumers but if you need more of a floor cleaning robotic cleaner this may not be a feature you like. I really like this program cycle because the cleaner gets full coverage of the pool and spends a good amount of time on the pools waterline.

The Turbo Classic has a very slow and methodical pace which is good since it moves slow enough not to stir up dirt and leaves. It has great climbing ability and can climb a 90 degree angle so no slope in your pool is needed from floor to wall. It will work on all pool surfaces except tile. As it moves the active scrubbing brushes scrub the pool floors, walls and waterline.

I like the 1-7 hour timer that comes with the unit. In some cases you may need to run the cleaner longer than the typical 3 hour cycle so it is nice to have the option to run the cleaner for seven hours. It is a pretty simple timer also so no confusing program buttons.

As the Turbo Classic is moving in the pool it is also pumping 80 gallons of water per minute. Since the Turbo Classic also filters down to 2 microns (better than a D.E. Filter) it acts like a self contained miniature filtration system. It comes with 60 feet of cable and features non-marring wheels. It is a bottom loading robotic cleaner with a large debris bag and large debris openings on the bottom.

The price point is excellent, around $700 making it a very affordable mid-range robotic cleaner. For a great price you are getting a robotic cleaner that climbs and scrubs the walls and tile line and one that can pick up large debris as well as fine silt and dirt. It also comes with a two year limited warranty with year one being a 100% bumper to bumper warranty.

The Turbo Classic is an affordable “Old School” robotic cleaner that works well and is affordable priced. If you looking for a solid mid-range robotic cleaner the Turbo Classic fits the bill.
