Our recommendations among the Aiper, Beatbot and Polaris cleaners we sell — every spec and warranty taken from the maker and linked. How we chose.
In a hurry?
The 30-second answer
Of what we sell, here is what we would put in most DFW in-ground pools.
Our top pick
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max
Most in-ground pools up to 3,230 sq ft, especially through pollen and oak-tassel season. Aiper lists floor, walls, waterline and surface cleaning — up to 5 h on the floor or 10 h skimming per charge — and a 3-year Aiper warranty. The Beatbot P300 Pro cleans the same four areas; see the table.

#1 Our top pick In stock — DFW
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max
Cordless — floor, walls, waterline and surface on one charge
$1699.97authorized-dealer pricing
Why it is our pick
Of the robots we sell it has the fullest published spec sheet — every row of our table has an Aiper figure — and those figures cover the floor, walls, waterline and surface on one charge, a 3 µm fine filter, pools up to 3,230 sq ft and a 3-year warranty.
Larger pools — Beatbot lists up to 3,875 sq ft — and owners who want the built-in clarifier.
#2 Our cordless alternative In stock — DFW
Beatbot P300 Pro
Cordless — the same four areas, plus a built-in clarifier
$1799.00authorized-dealer pricing
Why it is our pick
Beatbot lists the same four areas plus water clarification, 9 motors, 22 sensors, up to 11 h of surface cleaning and a 3-year warranty. It ranks second only because Beatbot does not publish its flow, floor-cleaning run time or filter fineness, so we cannot put those beside the Aiper.
We’re an authorized Polaris dealer and sell these through dealer support rather than online checkout — our team walks you through the purchase, fit-checks your pool, and arranges delivery. Or call (469) 455-1054.
#3 Our corded pick
Polaris ALPHA iQ+
Corded robot — nothing to charge, cycles sized to your pool
$1499.00Authorized dealer price
Why it is our pick
It plugs into a control box, cleans the floor, walls and waterline on a SMART Cycle that sizes the run to your pool (up to 3 h 30 min a cycle), reaches 70 ft on its cable and runs from the iAquaLink app.
Up to 3 h 30 min floor per cycle
SMART Cycle, Quick Clean, Deep Clean, Waterline Only and custom modes
Trade-offs: It does not skim the surface. Polaris's manual says to take it out of the pool at the end of each cycle. 2-year warranty, against 3 years on the two cordless robots.
Pressure-side — a booster pump drives it through heavy leaves
$1199.00Authorized dealer price
Why it is our pick
A booster pump drives three venturi jets and a 2½-inch vacuum inlet into a dual-chamber SuperBag, and Polaris says it circulates an additional 40 gallons of filtered water a minute. That wide inlet and bag are why we steer leafy pools to it.
Trade-offs: Needs a booster pump (Polaris pairs it with the PB4SQ); adding one where there is none is a plumbing job. 1-year warranty on the cleaner, 5 years on the frame; bags, tires and sweep hoses are wear items.
Warranty: 1 year from Polaris (frame: 5 years). Polaris’s terms
We sell Polaris cleaners through a short purchase-help form, not the cart: our team confirms the fit for your pool, the price and delivery.
Suction-side — runs on the pool pump you already have
$799.00Authorized dealer price
Why it is our pick
Polaris says it works with low- and variable-speed pumps, cleans the floor, walls and tile line, and uses HALO technology against clogging, on a 39 ft hose.
Cleaning mode: "Floor, Walls & Tile Line"
39 ft friction-fit hose with a flow regulator valve
HALO technology against clogging from fine and stringy debris
Trade-offs: No bag or canister of its own is listed — it connects to your skimmer or a 1.5-inch vacuum line, so your pool's basket and filter take the debris. 1-year warranty.
Built for spas, not pools: cordless, a 60-minute cycle over the floor, seats and walls, and it floats up when it is done. Polaris says it is not intended for pools. 1-year warranty. Warranty: 1 year from Polaris (terms). It is not in the table below: a spa cleaner is not comparable with the pool cleaners.

Side-by-side specs
Every figure is the manufacturer’s own published specification, linked under the table and checked Sep 24, 2026. Where a maker publishes nothing, the cell says so. Run times are the makers’ “up to” figures in the mode named. Our own measurements appear only where our team has tested, marked “Our test” — none are published yet.

The makers’ published figures
Every spec and warranty on this page is the manufacturer’s own, linked to the page it came from. Where a maker publishes nothing, we say so — a model loses ground for what we cannot check.
What it needs at your pool
A battery and a charger, a plug and a 70 ft cable, a booster pump, or the pool pump you already run — that decides more fits than any single figure.
What our techs see on routes
Leaves, pollen and oak tassels on the pools we service each week are why surface skimming and a large inlet count for so much in the order.
Why each one is where it is
1
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max — Our top pick
Of the robots we sell it has the fullest published spec sheet — every row of our table has an Aiper figure — and those figures cover the floor, walls, waterline and surface on one charge, a 3 µm fine filter, pools up to 3,230 sq ft and a 3-year warranty.
Trade-offs: Floor cleaning runs up to 5 h per charge (3.5 h in Max mode); the 10 h figure is surface skimming only. HydroComm Pro (underwater control and water readings) is an optional extra, sold separately.
2
Beatbot P300 Pro — Our cordless alternative
Beatbot lists the same four areas plus water clarification, 9 motors, 22 sensors, up to 11 h of surface cleaning and a 3-year warranty. It ranks second only because Beatbot does not publish its flow, floor-cleaning run time or filter fineness, so we cannot put those beside the Aiper.
Trade-offs: Flow, floor-cleaning run time and filter fineness are not published by Beatbot. The clarifying agent is a consumable and is not covered by the warranty.

Polaris ALPHA iQ+ — Our corded pick
It plugs into a control box, cleans the floor, walls and waterline on a SMART Cycle that sizes the run to your pool (up to 3 h 30 min a cycle), reaches 70 ft on its cable and runs from the iAquaLink app.
Trade-offs: It does not skim the surface. Polaris's manual says to take it out of the pool at the end of each cycle. 2-year warranty, against 3 years on the two cordless robots.

Polaris Vac-Sweep 3900 Sport — Our pick for heavy leaves
A booster pump drives three venturi jets and a 2½-inch vacuum inlet into a dual-chamber SuperBag, and Polaris says it circulates an additional 40 gallons of filtered water a minute. That wide inlet and bag are why we steer leafy pools to it.
Trade-offs: Needs a booster pump (Polaris pairs it with the PB4SQ); adding one where there is none is a plumbing job. 1-year warranty on the cleaner, 5 years on the frame; bags, tires and sweep hoses are wear items.
5
Polaris ATLAS — Our suction-side pick
Polaris says it works with low- and variable-speed pumps, cleans the floor, walls and tile line, and uses HALO technology against clogging, on a 39 ft hose.
Trade-offs: No bag or canister of its own is listed — it connects to your skimmer or a 1.5-inch vacuum line, so your pool's basket and filter take the debris. 1-year warranty.
Reading the makers’ figures
Run times are each maker’s “up to” figure in the mode it names. A robot’s surface-skimming figure is far longer than its floor-cleaning one, so the two sit in separate rows.
A corded robot runs a set cycle (the ALPHA iQ+ tops out at 3 h 30 min); pressure- and suction-side cleaners run whenever their pump runs.
Flow is in gallons per hour throughout. The 3900 Sport’s figure is the water Polaris says it circulates through its bag — 40 gallons a minute.

Decide
Choose in 3 questions
1. Cordless or corded?
Cordless — no cable to manage
→ Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max or Beatbot P300 Pro
Corded — nothing to charge
→ Polaris ALPHA iQ+
2. How big is the pool?
Up to 3,230 sq ft (Aiper) or 3,875 sq ft (Beatbot)
→ Either cordless robot, by the maker’s limit
Bigger, or a shape the robots’ limits do not cover
→ Polaris ALPHA iQ+ (70 ft cable) or the 3900 Sport — Polaris lists no size limit for either
3. What falls in?
Pollen, tassels, floating leaves
→ A robot that skims the surface — Aiper or Beatbot
Heavy leaves and a booster pump on the pad
→ Polaris 3900 Sport

Pick by use case
Narrower picks for the situation you actually have — from the same figures.
Of the cleaners we sell, our top pick for most DFW in-ground pools is the Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max: Aiper lists floor, walls, waterline and surface cleaning on one charge, pools up to 3,230 sq ft and a 3 years warranty. The Beatbot P300 Pro cleans the same four areas, adds a built-in clarifier and is our cordless alternative. For a corded robot we pick the Polaris ALPHA iQ+; for heavy leaves on a pool with a booster pump, the Polaris Vac-Sweep 3900 Sport; to run off the pool pump you already have, the Polaris ATLAS. These are our recommendations among the cleaners we sell — Aiper, Beatbot and Polaris — not a test of the whole market.
Cordless robotic vs corded robotic — which should I buy?+
Cordless means no cable, but you charge it between runs: Aiper lists up to 5 h of floor cleaning per charge and 4 h to recharge. Corded means nothing to charge: the Polaris ALPHA iQ+ runs cycles of up to 3 h 30 min from a control box on a 70 ft cable, and Polaris's manual says to take it out of the pool after each cycle. Of what we sell, only the two cordless robots skim the surface.
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max vs Beatbot P300 Pro — which is better?+
Both clean the floor, walls, waterline and surface, and both carry 3 years manufacturer warranties. Aiper publishes more: 8,500 GPH, up to 5 h floor or 10 h surface cleaning per charge, a 3 µm ultra-fine filter and pools up to 3,230 sq ft. Beatbot lists up to 11 h of surface cleaning, pools up to 3,875 sq ft and a built-in clarifier, but does not publish the P300 Pro's flow, floor-cleaning run time or filter fineness. We rank the Aiper first because more of its claims can be checked; choose the Beatbot for a larger pool or for the clarifier.
Why can't I just add a Polaris cleaner to my cart?+
We sell Polaris cleaners through our authorized-dealer purchase-assistance form rather than online checkout. Use the form on the product page, or call us: our team confirms the fit for your pool, the price, and delivery or pickup. The warranty is Polaris's own — 2 years on the ALPHA iQ+, 1 year on the 3900 Sport (5 years on its frame) and 1 year on the ATLAS.
Does it matter where I buy a robotic pool cleaner?+
For the warranty, it can. Aiper's policy does not cover purchases from unauthorized or personal resellers, and Beatbot's excludes items bought from unauthorized resellers. Polaris's warranty covers the first retail purchaser in the US and Canada and is claimed through the dealer who sold it. We are an authorized dealer for all three, and each product page links the maker's own warranty terms.
How did you choose and rank these?+
These are our recommendations among the cleaners we sell — Aiper, Beatbot and Polaris — not a test of the whole market. The order rests on the manufacturers' published figures (each linked on the guide), on what each cleaner needs at your pool — a charger, a plug, a booster pump or your pool pump — and on what our techs see on the pools they service. A model whose maker publishes less ranks lower, because we cannot check it.
