Robotic Pool Cleaner Reviews
There is something inherently seductive about a robotic pool cleaner. All you do is pop one in the pool and return later to a completely clean and sparkling pool. It’s hard to think of an easier way to clean your pool. You don’t have to mess around with a long hoses, expensive booster pumps or complicated filter connections. The numbers should also work in your favor as you should be able to cut down on your pool cleaning bill and reduce the amount of pool chemicals you need.
Robotic cleaners are completely self contained units with their own filter, drive motor and pump system. Some are connected to your household power supply (via a transformer) while other units have internal rechargeable batteries. Some of the top models even have the ability to “learn” the shape of your pool with the result that they become increasingly more effective over time. There’s is no doubt that pool vacuum cleaners have come a long way since their invention by Ferdinand Chauvier in the 1970s.
