Finding the best robotic pool cleaner depends on your pool’s size, shape, surface, and the type of debris it collects. Key aspects to consider include whether you prefer corded or cordless, the size of the filter basket, the suction inlet for larger debris, and whether you’d benefit from features like app connectivity or remote control.

If your pool is surrounded by trees, pay attention to debris size, suction power, and filter capacity. If fine dust and dirt are an issue, a model with ultra-fine filtration may be a better fit.

When selecting a robotic cleaner, focus on:
✔ Pool size & shape – ensures full coverage and efficient navigation.
✔ Debris type – choose filtration suited to leaves, dust, or both.
✔ Features & technology – only pay for extras you’ll actually use.
✔ Durability & maintenance – opt for a model that’s easy to clean.
✔ After-sales support – ensure parts and service are available locally.

A well-chosen robotic pool cleaner will make pool maintenance easier and more efficient. Check our Compare Robotic Pool Cleaners table or browse individual product listings to see the latest features.

No two pools are exactly alike,and different pool owners have different needs. When selecting a robotic cleaner, it’s important to consider your pool’s dimensions, shape, debris load, and preferred features like Wi-Fi connectivity, scheduled cleaning cycles, cable or battery-operated robotic pool cleaner.

At Pool Robots Australia, we have extensive experience servicing and repairing pool robots across a wide range of pool types. Our firsthand knowledge helps us recommend the best value cleaners tailored to your specific requirements.

• Easy maintenance – simple to clear blockages in impellers or tracks/wheels
• Advanced features & smart technology
• Durability – built to last with proper care
• Reliable after-sales support & repairs – all backed by Australian service

Some robotic pool cleaners come with swivels on the cable to help reduce tangling, but a swivel is only effective if the cable is fully extended. That is, it needs to pull tight against the swivel to unravel. In most cases, the primary cause of tangling is excess cable in the water.

To prevent cable tangling:
✔ Use only the necessary cable length – avoid excess slack in the pool.
✔ Untwist the cable after each use – this helps maintain flexibility and removes tangles before they begin to develop.
✔ Remove the cleaner after every cycle – leaving it in too long can lead to cable memory and the rubber sheath perishing.
✔ Don’t use the pool robot under a pool cover – this can restrict movement and cause the cable to bunch up.

Many modern robotic pool cleaners use smart navigation software to reduce cable twisting, making swivels less essential than they once were.

Robotic pool cleaners operate independently from your pool’s main filtration system—think of them as a vacuum cleaner for your pool.

They use built-in suction, scrubbing brushes, and an onboard filter basket to collect dirt and debris while navigating the pool automatically. With smart programming and sensors, they map out the most efficient cleaning path, ensuring full pool coverage without relying on your pool pump.

Robotic pool cleaners work separately from your pool’s pump and filtration system, meaning they don’t rely on suction or pressure from your existing equipment.

Key advantages:

• Energy-efficient – uses less electricity compared to running a pool pump for suction or pressure cleaners
• Smarter cleaning – onboard computers ensure full pool coverage
• Better scrubbing – brushes remove dirt, algae, and grime from the floor, walls, and waterline
• Faster results – most robotic cleaners complete a cycle in just a few hours

Because they don’t put extra strain on your pool pump, robotic cleaners extend the lifespan of your existing pool equipment while keeping your pool clean.

Regular maintenance keeps your robotic pool cleaner running efficiently and extends its lifespan.

After each use:

• Empty & rinse the filter basket – prevents clogging and maintains suction power
• Check for debris – remove any sticks, leaves, or obstructions from the wheels/tracks
• Rinse with fresh water – helps prevent chemical buildup

For long-term care:

• Limit use to 3 cleaning sessions per week – overuse can wear out parts faster
• Store it properly – keep it out of direct sunlight and extreme weather
• Inspect cables & moving parts regularly – early detection of wear and tear can prevent costly repairs

With proper care, your robotic pool cleaner will provide years of hassle-free pool maintenance.
