Corded waterline~$1,499Polaris
Polaris ALPHA iQ+
In Polaris' spec tables the ALPHA iQ+ matches the VRX iQ+ line for line — 70-foot cable, five-litre lit canister, Easy Lift, caddy, app scheduling — with a mode list that names floor, floor/wall/waterline, waterline-only and custom cycles. Polaris' 2026 rebate terms list it at the same $1,499 minimum purchase price as the VRX iQ+.

A specification not listed here is one Polaris does not publish for this model. It is left blank rather than estimated or borrowed from a sibling.
Features
- 70 ft cable with swivel
- SMART, Floor, Floor/Wall/Waterline, Waterline-only and custom modes
- Easy Lift retrieval
- 5 L illuminated canister
- Transport caddy
What it does well
- 70 ft cable, 10 ft more than the EPIC 8642 iQ's
- Easy Lift calls it to the waterline, so nobody hauls it out by the cable
- Custom cycles alongside four named modes, where the EPIC 8642 iQ has two
- 5 L lit canister with a dirty indicator, a litre up on the EPIC's
What it gives up
- $1,499 in Polaris' rebate terms, the same as the VRX iQ+
- No weight, pool-size or micron figure
- Hard to tell from the VRX iQ+ on published specs alone
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.
