What customers say about "Key Specs"

Aquabot Breeze IQ Robotic Brush Pool Cleaner

Omg! I can't say enough good things about Aquabit Breeze IQ, it exceeded my expectations. It scrubs and picks up dirt that one cannot even see with he naked eye.
My pool is relatively big - 35000 gallons and deep (8 ft). Aquabot was easy to setup, after reading instructions
This little cleaner does a phenomenal job on my pool and I couldn't be more pleased.
I've owned both a Polaris and a Tigershark in the past - this Aquabot far exceeds the performance of both of them COMBINED! Does a great job cleaning, climbing the walls, and is very easy to clean.
We have a large pool and it does not do the job we expected it to do. It does not pick up leaves as described it just rolls over them and kicks them up in to the water.

Aquabot Elite Inground Robotic Pool Cleaner

No external pump needed. Just drop it in the water, plug it in, turn it on and it takes care of cleaning the bottom and sides of our 40-foot pool that also has a "full-L" shallow end and stairs.
This is the best automatic pool cleaner I've used but its not very good. Does not clean steps, does not clean into the corners of the pool, does not clean odd shaped areas.
I Pulled the unit out of water and discovered the wheel guide was out and stuck sideways. I fixed it and it just seemed to skip on the bottom and recleaned the same area over and over.
The system is not too great on steps because of its width, but I can live with that.
The bag system is awesome, best design ever. However, it was in my pool less then an hour when it just stopped.

What customers say about "Cleaning"

Aquabot Breeze IQ Robotic Brush Pool Cleaner

The IQ will climb walls easily, and if flotation handle is adjusted correctly will clean water line around the perimeter. It had no trouble picking up fine particulate as well as large leaves and debris. Great choice.
Pool bottom is now clean. Saved me a lot of time. Comparing the cost of the robot to a pool service, it will pay for itself in less than twelve months.
It climbs the walls and cleans up to the surface of the water (most of the time). Sometimes it only goes about half-way up the wall and falls back down but it eventually does end up cleaning up to the surface all around the pool.
Love the unit, hated dealing with the seller. We received our "brand new" Aquabot Breeze IQ and it looked like it was used. It had a melted mark on the handle and the scrubbers on the feet looked worn.
It cleans the pool in a 2 hour cycle and manages to get more dirt and other "organic matter" that isn't really noticible to the eye but is in the filter when it's done running - which is very easy to clean.

Aquabot Elite Inground Robotic Pool Cleaner

This device picks up everything and rarely misses any debris. I use the 90-minute program.
Easy to clean, the two filter baskets pop out very easy and the entire robot is easily accessible to rinse out the debris.
The Elite filter system (2 mesh filters) is much, much easier to clean than the Turbo bag. I highly recommend the Elite.
I tried it out anyway and immediately noticed that it missed half the pool and did not climb to the waterline. Then as I watched it I realized that one of the rollers had come out of the bushing.
This will not clean in any of those areas. It only cleans the bottom and the walls and it doesn't even clean along the edges of the steps, which seems to be where debris wants to hide.

What customers say about "Features"

Aquabot Breeze IQ Robotic Brush Pool Cleaner

Easy to setup and run. Controller is basic and functions well. Only one day on the job in a very dirty pool and already seeing very nice results.
The cord in the pool comes with an anti-tangle swivel joint to allow the robot to do loops around the pool without tangling up the cord. That is another great feature that not all cleaners have. I never had a tangle when operating normally.
It's very user friendly and cleaning the filters takes less than 5 minutes. I highly recommend this if you want a sparkling clean pool.
Cleaning it was simple and required only housing 2 plastic filter containers. So far we are very happy but will post additions if anything breaks.
The tangle free cord still tangles and best of all, it collects algae, so you have to clean the cord or you're introducing algae.

Aquabot Elite Inground Robotic Pool Cleaner

The anti-tangle swivel built into the electrical cord seems to work, no twisted cord when I removed the unit from the pool.
The machine is easy to clean. No bags to wash out and try to get back on. This machine has two pull out drawers that you just hose off.
The only real gripe I have is that Aquabot should sell an optional "extension cord" to add to the length of the low-voltage cord going between the power control unit and the robot itself.
The instructions are terrible....I have no idea what the 4 foam floats are for.
Upon closer inspection, where the cable enters the unit, the grommet is all distorted and pushed in. Also, the included Caddy is terrible. If you lift the unit off without removing the cable first, the whole thing tips over.
