Yes. I came here from the Scuba thread and I've fallen in love with the idea of a cordless robot, but the S1 isn't doing it for me and I'm ready to be a sucker...

Thank you for taking one for the team! There is absolutely no room in my budget for anything triple digit for the pool, so I have to live vicariously through you guys.

Thanks - be sure to add it to your signature so we can see the growing list of robots you use!!!

I cannot tell you how excited I am for your review!!!

So in fairness, I did not actually buy one. Turns out a buddy that lives a few house down bought it. So I am borrowing for a few days to try it out.

Review is posted here.

Beatbot (not Pro) Short term review

Well, I did not go out and buy one. Turns out a neighbor and friend just did. So I am borrowing it for a few days. Thats why this will only be a short term review. It is slightly bigger and heavier than the S1. It also has WiFi and an app. We will see what those do. Downloading and setting up...

Congrats on bumping Russia with the world's 2nd largest navy.

I got my Beatbot in today. I ordered the non-pro version and they sent me the pro version. I let it clean for 3.5 hours today and I’m very impressed. I have trees all around my pool, so leaves are a constant problem. It didn’t miss one. Also scrubbed all the waterline. Pool is spotless right now.

I emailed them and told them they sent me the Pro. Waiting to hear back.

Dang, I wouldn't be very upset about that haha, the pro is quite a bit more expensive.

I'm not upset at all! But, I felt guilty and had to let them know. Hoping they tell me to keep it.

This is persuasive… I think we’re going to join this beta group…

Don't think the Pro would be worth it for the extra cost. Betta SE Plus is very good for under $500. And can buy 2 of my Aiper Seagull Pro, but really depends on longevity of these things. The extra brush and finer filter does sound appealing! Whose will leak and kill the battery first?

I got a three-year warranty on mine. I’m hoping it lasts longer of course.

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 app has 2x the amount of downloads as the Blue Nexus. Could be noise (i.e. more Blue Nexus users use iOS) or it could be indicative of relative demand/interest for the two products.

What did you decide? I am returning my Aiper Segull Pro. Was blah. And could not perform. Will receive full refund. Where do I go from here?

Any additional thoughts to share, @justinjla?

Mine comes this week. Will post up my thoughts after returning my aiper S1 as it was decent but overall underwhelming.

I live in DFW and we had a BAD storm come through this morning. 70-80 mph winds. Broken trees and lots of damage in the area. Needless to say, my pool was wrecked. Mud, chairs, branches and thousands of leaves were in the pool. I got all the big stuff out and put the Beatbot in. It cleaned for 5 hours (had to recharge once) and this was about 20 min ago. Filled up two 5 gal buckets with stuff it got out.

Thats amazing, how did it manage to vacuum up the chairs?

Has an extra filter compartment for that!

my beatbot came yesterday and I'm blown away. It's probably not fair to compare a $2100 robot to a $400 robot, but it's night and day for me. I'll write up something a little more in-depth when I get a few more days use, but so far after 1 run it feels like it's worth every penny.
