The two lists above come from the maker’s own specifications and this site’s arithmetic on them, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.

What owners say

Owners who bought the AquaSense 2 mostly came to it from an older corded robot or from scrubbing the waterline by hand, and they describe the change as a real improvement: faster floor cleaning and a waterline that stays clean.

It handles awkward shapes well in owners' accounts, including steep bowl-shaped deep ends, as long as the app's multizone mode is used. The concerns are the small basket and one early corrosion case on the charging contacts.

It suits a mid-size in-ground pool with a scum line and some slope, where the owner wants a cordless robot and a dock. Watch the charging contacts, and rinse after use in salt water.

What owners like

It takes over the waterline: an owner who had been scrubbing it with a magic eraser twice a week says the AquaSense 2 now handles most of that.
It is quicker than the older robot it replaced — an owner moving from a Polaris 9550 said the Polaris took four-plus hours to clear the floor after a storm and the Beatbot does better in less time.
It climbs a steep, bowl-shaped deep end with ease, by one owner's account, using the app's multizone mode to do floor, walls and waterline.

Common complaints

Its basket is smaller than the robot it replaced, which the same satisfied owner noticed.
One owner found corrosion on its charging contacts in under three months after an app warning that it had not charged fully; Beatbot offered $100 back.

Questions owners ask about the Beatbot AquaSense 2

Does the AquaSense 2 clean the waterline?

Owners say yes; one who used to scrub it twice a week by hand says the robot now handles most of it.

Can it handle a steep deep end?

An owner with a steep bowl-shaped deep end says it climbs it with ease in multizone mode.

Any reliability problems?

One owner reported corrosion on the charging contacts within three months, after an app warning about incomplete charging. Beatbot offered a partial refund.
