Aquabot Rapids 1500 Robotic Pool Cleaner - Review
The Aquabot Rapids 1500 is the Next
Generation of Robotic Cleaners for Aquabot. There are a lot of great
innovations with the Rapids 1500 and I will go over them here in this
article. The Rapids 1500 is a retail pool store cleaner only and
is not sold online.
The Rapids 1500 has many great
features, the video will detail them all but I will list them here
also for you.
I will start with the Gyro Navigation
System. This is a unique program that will allow the cleaner to stop
and pivot, change direction and or reverse at times in the pool. The
Gyro System will allow the Rapids 1500 to clean your pool in the most
efficient pattern possible and it won't be covering the same areas
over and over again. It is a really great innovative cleaning system.
You can see it really at work in a couple of video clips that I
filmed. It staggers a bit and then pivots, it is really innovative.
The Rapids 1500 features two large
scrub brushes on each end. Aquabot it one of the few companies that
uses dual or quad brushes on their cleaners. It really speeds up the
cleaning and scrubbing action.
The Rapids 1500 is a top loading
cleaner with two large fine filter debris chambers. This makes it
easy to clean out and the debris and I like the top loading cleaners
because it takes only a minute to rinse out the debris chambers
making cleaning it out a breeze. Cleaning out the debris couldn't be
easier.
On the bottom is a vibrating brush that
will loosen debris and dirt off of the pool surface. It is a pretty
unique feature and a nice added touch to an already great robotic
cleaner. You can see the brush in action in the video.
The Power Center or Aqua Control is
what sets this cleaner apart from other robotic cleaners. It doesn't
have all the functions present that the Rapids 2000 has but you can
still program the cleaner to clean just the pool floors, the pool
floors and walls and the pool floors, walls and waterline. You can
also set it to run every 48 hours, every 72 hours or every 96 hours -
every two, three and four days respectively. Also present is an
external timer function and a dirty debris chamber indicator. T
It comes with a very nice caddy that
holds the Aqua Control nicely and this makes it easy to get the
cleaner to the poolside. The Rapids 1500, like all of the Aquabot
cleaners, is light weight and easy to set in and remove from the
pool.
The Rapids 1500 also comes with a two
year bumper to bumper warranty.
The overall design of the Aquabot
Rapids 1500 is excellent. It also comes with 60 feet of cable and
Aquabot uses the old flexible cord verses the stiff cord found on
most of their newer cleaners. The more flexible cable suits the Gyro
system well and the Gyro system also helps prevent cable tangling.
The Rapids 1500 also comes with a cord swivel to further prevent cord
tangling.
The Rapids 1500 is an excellent and
well designed robotic cleaner and a glimpse into the next generation
of Aquabot Robotic Pool Cleaners. Worth driving to your local pool
store to get.
