How to Choose the Right Robotic Pool Cleaner
Having a swimming pool is all fun and games until your monthly utility bills come in with numbers that are enough to send you off the deep end (hehe, pun intended). That’s one of the reasons why having a robotic pool cleaner comes in so handy! After all, they help you cut down on your energy consumption by almost 82% and absolve you of the need to do manual maintenance!
It does have to be noted that although they are well worth the investment, robotic pool cleaners don’t really come cheap. That’s why it’s important to make sure you get the right robotic pool cleaner for your pool, so you can get the maximum use out of it! Plus, with so many options on the market, it may be confusing to try and figure out which robotic pool cleaner is worth investing in.
This is why we’ve compiled a list of options: choose the right robotic pool cleaner according to your pool’s unique specifications!
Pool Size
Since each robotic pool cleaner comes with a fixed length of extendable cable, it is important to consider the size of your pool relative to the length of the cable in your robotic cleaner.
The Maytronics Dolphin X40 PLUS Robotic Pool Cleaner With CADDY has a cable of 18 m, and will cover a pool of length up to 12m! (For reference, your standard family pool size is only around 9m. It also has to be noted, however, that the power supply has to be 3m from the pool edge, and this has to be factored in, in addition to pool depth, which makes an 18 m cable a pretty ideal one!) The Maytronics Dolphin X40 robotic pool cleaner covers the cleaning of the entirety of the floor, walls, and waterline, with a multilayer filtration system and a dual active scrubber. You don’t have to get your hands dirty in the slightest because the pool cleaner will do all the dirty work for you! 
With models like the Vektro Wireless Auto Robotic Pool Cleaner, you won’t even have to pay all that much attention to pool size because this robotic pool cleaner comes without the restriction of a power cord, and it works in in-ground and above-ground pools of all types, shapes, and surfaces with a flat bottom! It also comes with a deluxe, adjustable cord length retrieval kit—all the better to clean pools of all sizes! 
Pool Topology
The arrangement and general structural features of your pool do play a part in deciding which type of robotic pool cleaner will work best for you. For example, if your pool has got a lot of steps, inclines, and slopes, you’ll want to invest in a pool cleaner that covers the cleaning of all those elements, without getting stuck on the stairs or the slopes. The pool cleaner also has to have sufficient cable to reach each corner of the pool from the power supply.
The Madimack GT560 Pool Robot is a good choice if your pool has multiple elements that need cleaning. It comes with Superior Climber Action, which means it’s got you covered when it comes to vertical cleaning on pool walls! Product reviews will attest to its ability to suck the grime off pool walls, as well as clean up dirt and leaves. An investment well worth making! 
The Maytronics Henden H3 Robotic Pool Cleaner has also got you covered: with active scrubbing technology, and built-in navigation, it delivers the best cleaning result across floors, walls, and waterlines! 
How Fine is the Filter?
Debris/ dirt size is measured in microns. The smaller the micron value of a robotic pool cleaner, the smaller the debris its filter can clean out from your pool water, and the cleaner and more debris-free your pool is going to be!
The Pentair Prowler 920 Robotic Pool Cleaner is your go-to for fine filtration needs. It features a fine filtration filter allowing it to tackle pools with fine dust issues. Its powerful, high-speed scrubbing brush for all-surface deep cleaning prevents the growth of algae and bacteria in your pool, thus reducing the need for using chemicals. It also comes with both large and fine filtration cartridges, so you can choose your level of cleaning—a customizable cleaning approach!
The Robo-Tek Robo-Plus V2 Robotic Pool Cleaner is yet another robotic pool cleaner that boasts superfine filtration properties! As it is equipped to handle large leaves as well as superfine dust, it is one of the most sought-after cleaners on the market! Its 70 and 20-micron filter bags capture superfine dust particles, while it also has the capacity for 4 liters of leaf and debris!
Smart Controls and Convenience
Having smart controls on your robotic pool cleaner enables you to control it from anywhere and at any time!
The Madimack GT560 Pool Robot, for instance, comes with smart features that enable one-touch remote cleaning. Its effort-free intelligent control comes with full control via the Madimack app! The wireless enables and full-featured app functionality means it has intelligent path cleaning, as well as automatic and manual controls. A clean pool at literally one press of a button!
The Maytronics Dolphin Active X6 Robotic Pool Cleaner is yet another pool cleaner that makes use of Smart Cleaning System Features. It can be controlled using the MyDolphin App, making it one of the most convenient and efficient pool cleaning systems you can opt for!
Price of the Robotic Pool Cleaner
While all these robotic pool cleaners may sound super appealing, there’s also the matter of money and how much of it you’re willing to spend on a pool cleaner. While none of these pool cleaners are likely to break the bank, and will be worth a sizeable investment, you can also always opt for pool cleaners that are affordable and get the work done, if lacking in a few features.
The Maytronics Henden H2 Robotic Pool Cleaner is one of our most affordable pool cleaners yet, with clever navigation technology that ensures that the unit cleans the floor and walls effectively, every time. What it may lack in more advanced models it makes up for in effective performance regardless, with an all-terrain brush that is capable of active scrubbing technology, and an easy-to-use system.
The Zodiac Tornax TX30 Robotic Pool Cleaner is also one of our most affordable models that are lightweight and delivers efficient performance. In addition, its efficient cleaning is completely autonomously done, thanks to its preprogrammed cleaning pattern and its rotating front brush which removes debris before collecting it. 
All in all, robotic pool cleaners is the future staring right at you! No more getting your hands dirty, no more having to manually scrub your pool! Just sit back and let your robot do the dirty work for you!
