روبوتات القاع أم الروبوتات المتسلقة للجدران؟
حلقة أوساخ عند خط الماء أو جدران خضراء؟ تحتاجون روبوتًا متسلقًا. رمل وأوراق غارقة في القاع؟ روبوت القاع هو الشراء الأنسب.
Look at the waterline before you look at the price. A grey ring on the tile or walls going green calls for a wall-climbing robot; sand and sunken leaves on the floor call for a floor-only robot, and there it's the better buy.
What the step up buys
Our six floor-only robots, the Y10, Y20, C1, C2, C3 and C5, are printed as “Pool floor only” and rated for pools up to 150 m². The Y50S and Y50 are printed as “Floor, walls and waterline (4 cleaning modes)”, with gyroscope route planning and app control with OTA firmware updates. They also move far more water: 75 GPM on the Y50S and 85 GPM on the Y50, against 20–30 GPM on the floor-only models.
Pool size is the other reason to step up. For pools above 150 m², our only floor cleaners are the wall-climbers.
The ring at the tile line
Sunscreen, body oil and dust collect where the water meets the tile and leave a ring that a floor-only robot never reaches. Algae on the walls is the other sign: a slippery green film in warm weather means the owner wants the walls scrubbed. At the counter, one question sorts the sale. What bothers you when you look at the pool? Dirt on the bottom points to floor-only. A ring or green walls points up the range.
Why does the cheaper robot run longer?
Shoppers spot this on the shelf. Our C1 and C2 list 210 minutes per charge; the Y50S lists 150. The C1 cleans the floor of a pool up to 150 m² at 30 GPM. The Y50S runs 75 GPM of brushless power and carries itself up the walls of a pool up to 200 m². Print the surfaces cleaned right beside runtime on the box and in the listing, so the shopper compares like with like.
Test it on your market's wall finish
Grip is where the wall finish starts to matter. A floor-only robot only has to drive across the floor, and our C2 and C3 list vinyl, concrete and fiberglass pools alike. A wall-climber has to hold on to the wall itself, so run the Y50S sample on the finish your customers have, whether tile, plaster or a vinyl liner, and watch it reach the waterline before “climbs walls” goes on the box.
When a wall-climber is the wrong sell
Take a pool under 150 m² with clean walls and a sand problem. A wall-climber costs the owner more, runs shorter than the C1 and asks them to pick from 4 cleaning modes in an app. The floor-only robot is the better buy for that pool.
Leave a wall-climber in floor mode and the owner sees a floor-only robot they overpaid for.
Ask for the top model's validation report
A wall-climber has more to verify before it takes your top shelf. For the Y50S, our validation report (QM test 24089, Nov 2024 – Jan 2025) covers 20 tests and 75 checkpoints, each with a written pass standard and signed by a tester and a reviewer; all 20 passed. Ask any supplier for the same document for the exact wall-climbing model you plan to stock, and read the pass standards before the results.
The quickest way to settle the split is one pool and two robots. Request a sample pair, a floor-only robot and a Y50S, and run both in the same pool for a week before you set your order mix.
