Aquabot Rapids 4WD Robotic Pool Cleaner: 2 Year 100% Warranty!
The
Aqaubot Rapids 4WD is a great mid-range robotic pool cleaner that features a
great 2-year full warranty. It is one of Aquabot’s retail pool store only
cleaners and is only available at your local brick and mortar pool store or from
your pool service provider and is not sold online. With that said the price
point is mid-range so depending on your region anywhere from $700 to $800.
What
you get for that is a great cleaner with a strange shape but don’t let that
fool you. Here are some product features on the cleaner:

Let
me touch on a few of the features that I really like about the robot. The top-loading debris chambers are great. They easily snap out and filter down to very
fine particles including dirt. They are also very easy to empty and clean and
they are what I consider large capacity. You can’t beat a robotic pool cleaner
with these top loading debris trays. The clear plastic on top makes looking in
easy so you will know when you need to empty the debris chambers.
Although
the Rapids 4WD does not scrub the tile line, the true 4-wheel drive of this
cleaner will allow it to climb the walls to the waterline giving you complete
coverage of the pool from floors to walls. The 4WD also allows the cleaner to
avoid getting stuck on the main drains of the pool. A problem for some robotic
cleaners that lack the true 4-wheel drive feature. The tires are non-marring,
so this cleaner is safe for all surface types.
Included
in the software of the Rapids 4WD is the AquaSmart Gyro System that will allow
for systematic cleaning of the pool in the quickest way possible. If you watch
the cleaner you will see it pause, then change direction. Unlike other cleaners
that will go forward for a certain time and then reverse, the AquaSmart System
will turn the cleaner so that the cleaning pattern is more random and it won’t
travel over the same path over and over again. This allows for the short run
cycle of 3 hours and in fact, most pools will be clean in half that time.
Other
notable features are the extra-long cable of 60 ft making the Rapids 4WD ideal
for a small, medium to a large pool. The swivel on the cord will also prevent
cable tangling which has been a problem for robotic pool cleaners in the past.
The rotating scrubbing brush in the center on the bottom will help scrub off
stubborn dirt and debris. It is also lightweight and the large handle on top
allows for easy removal from the pool.
These
are some great features and the Rapids 4WD is backed by a great 2-year full
bumper to bumper warranty.
