Yes. Especially at that price point. Its one of the big reasons why I didn't pre-order.

So the controlled lab environment for salt, humidity and heat testing must have been submerged. This is their updated response when I expressed my concern about extended multi-weeks above 85% humidity. AquaSense Pro can operate normally and be stored in this humidity

The concerns we've uncovered so far have to do with the very limited warranty and replacement parts outside of the warranty period which is very concerning given the price point.

I got a non-answer to my question about if the testing numbers cited on their web site were submerged or out of the water. All they would tell me is it was tested in a "controlled lab setting for accelerated corrosion testing". I've asked again as this would be a show stopper in the south if...

Afraid I don't know the answer to either of these questions. The lifespan, heat, humidity and salt numbers are what they post on the endurance testing section of the web site. I'll follow up and get clarification. I'm in Florida too so 85% humidity is concerning as that's not an uncommon...

Added some additional rows to the table in the post above. The battery capacity is puzzling because the Blue Nexus (if it really has a 28.6Ah battery) has 1/3rd the battery life of the BeatBot. Item BeatBot Pro BeatBot Blue Nexus Battery Capacity 10,400 mAh 6,700 mAh 28,600 mAh (unsure if...

BeatBot, BeatBot Pro and Blue Nexus Comparison Table (initial draft, work in progress). Let me know if you need more info on items or would like answers to other questions. Item BeatBot Pro BeatBot Blue Nexus User Replaceable Battery No No No Replaceable Battery Yes (has to be sent in to...

How long a warranty would you expect for a robot in this category? Beatbot actually posts testing/longevity for various components. Can this info be found for other robots? Water Pump: 5+ years Battery: 3+ years Buttons: 100k presses Heat: Up to 122F Humidity: 85% Salt: 168 hours For sure...

I've also got a comparison table for the three models (BeatBot, BeatBot Pro and Blue Nexus) that I'm using to capture info so I can make a decision. If you're interested, I could post that info here. Something interesting I noticed. Although the BeatBot isn't officially released, the Android...

There are some details about the BeatBot Aquasense Pro or SuBlu BlueNexus that aren't provided on either web site so I emailed both companies. Beatbot consistently responded within 24 hours to my emails (even weekends!). Four emails total. I've not received any response from SuBlu after four...

Very much appreciate your insight @gadgetlady. Couple points to consider, The Blue Nexus retail is $1399 which is actually more expensive than the low end retail price of Beatbot AquaSense (and considerably above its pre-order price) The Blue Nexus retail of $1399 is not far away from the...

Here's another robot candidate for consideration in this thread as it meets the criteria for the original post (along with actually being able to clean the pool surface) https://beatbot.com/pages/aquasense-pro its discussed in this thread...
