I spent a weekend testing this $3,500 robot pool cleaner. Is it worth the investment?

Robot pool cleaners are essentially the aquatic equivalent of robot vacuums. At least, that's the conclusion I've come to after spending an entire weekend testing the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra. As a Southern California resident who's spent a chunk of her summers in pools, the idea of a cordless robotic pool cleaner sounds appealing. Pool maintenance and cleaning, after all, is far from inexpensive. According to Aqua Masters Inc., a local pool cleaning service here in Los Angeles, California, pool cleaning 'can cost anywhere from $75 to $150 per month' on average, but the actual cost varies depending on the size and shape of your pool. So, if this type of cleaning product can somehow offset that, surely it's a worthy investment for pool cleaners. The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is an impressively capable product, scaling pool walls and skimming water surfaces with ease like some kind of pool-cleaning martial arts master. Unfortunately, much like robot vacuums, the question of whether it's a satisfactory replacement for weekly or monthly human intervention is up for debate, especially with that high upfront cost. Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra Robotic Pool Cleaner This premium robot pool cleaner will give your pool a thorough, comprehensive cleaning, even clearing the surface of floating debris. It's also effortless to use and comes with many features. However, it's still a splurge at $3,550, so it's not for everyone. It's easy to set up, very intuitive to use and packed with smart features I haven't tested many cordless robotic pool cleaners, but I have gone through my share of robot vacuums. Among the many things I don't like about them is the fussy initial setup. Luckily for me, that isn't the case with the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra. One of the best things about this pool cleaner is that despite its features, such as app support and smart appliance functionalities (including ability to park itself), it's unbelievably effortless to assemble and set up. You simply attach the side brushes, install the cleaning agent, charge the device and connect it to the app. That's it. Connecting the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra to the Beatbot app is also snag-free, and the app itself is intuitive to use and feature-rich, a testament to how well the product was programmed. As someone who had to return a brand-new robot vacuum after spending a week unsuccessfully connecting and setting it up on the app, the experience of setting this one up did a lot to heal that trauma. It has a battery life long enough to last a whole day of cleaning Before talking about battery life, I want to first say that charging the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra takes a long time. During my weekend of testing, it took under three hours to go from 50% to full, which means charging it could be a whole day affair. It's worth noting that Beatbot says it should only take about four and a half hours to fully charge. Either way, it's hardly a cause for concern since you only really need to clean your pool once a week unless there are special circumstances. What's more, this cordless robotic pool cleaner can practically last an entire day's cleaning. It has several different cleaning modes, and if you choose the full cleaning option, which includes floor, wall, waterline and surface cleaning plus water clarification, the whole thing can take up to 10 hours. And that's exactly how long the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is rated for. If you're worried whether it lives up to that rating, I spent an entire Sunday watching this cordless robot pool cleaner do a full deep clean of a medium-sized pool, and trust me, its battery will likely outlast yours. The app gives you several control options The Beatbot app is thoughtfully designed for an uncomplicated user experience. It's not only easy to set up and connect to the robot pool cleaner but also free of any bugs or other issues, at least during my two days of use. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean bugs and problems won't arise during long-term use, but I also think, considering my bad initial experiences with some robot vacuum apps, Beatbot should be given credit for designing an app that won't make you want to pull out your hair at setup. The app also provides a comprehensive level of control, from letting you select the different cleaning modes to having a remote control function for manual control. That four-way remote control button on the app is just as intuitive to use, even though it may take a bit of practice on your end if you want to perform more precise maneuvers. It's not a perfect app, and there are some missing features that I feel are crucial to the experience, such as real-time clean mapping and being able to call the robot back while it's underwater. However, these missing bits have a lot more to do with the fact that Bluetooth and radio waves simply do not work well underwater, so you can hardly blame Beatbot for excluding them. Its cleaning function is comprehensive There are robot pool cleaners that skim the water surface, and there are those that don't. The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra belongs to the former, skimming your pool's water surface, ideally to rid it of all floating debris. But it goes above and beyond, as it's also a very capable wall scaler, which allows it to scrub the walls and rid the waterline of debris and scum for a full, deep, comprehensive clean. That doesn't mean you have to wait 10 hours for it to do its thing every single time, as there are several different cleaning modes to choose from based on your current need or the amount of time you have. If you do want a full cleaning that comes close to what a human can do, it offers that option for you. It takes a long time to clean a medium-sized pool It takes my aunt's pool guy about an hour every week to clean her large pool, removing floating debris, testing and adjusting water chemistry, cleaning the filter, and brushing the water line if there's algae and scum. Meanwhile, it took the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra more than six hours to do a full clean of the medium-sized, irregularly shaped pool I tested it in. To be clear, this isn't exactly a fair comparison. First of all, most of the wall and floor cleaning in my aunt's pool is performed by a pool vacuum she purchased years ago, which turns on automatically for four hours each day to keep those areas pristine. That's 28 hours of cleaning time every week — almost triple the amount of time it will take for the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra to do a full sweep for a similarly sized pool. Second, robot cleaners are a set-it-and-forget-it kind of appliance, so you can do other things like run errands, do some work or socialize while it's doing its thing. However, it's also fair to say that robot appliances do require some level of supervision in case they get stuck or encounter an error. Sure, the app notifies you of any errors; however, the fact that the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra doesn't offer real-time reporting on what it's doing and how much progress it's made makes supervision far more crucial. My advice? Do a bit of both. Go about your day, but check in once in a while to ensure things are running swimmingly. It constantly spits out small debris Sadly, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra still has a ways to go in terms of handling small debris. The way its suctioning is designed makes it regularly spit out debris that should already be stored away in its debris canister. And while it does manage to suction about 75% of the debris floating on the surface and at the waterline, it also just pushes most of the lighter stuff around. The fact that it regurgitates and pushes feels very counterproductive, especially since its literal function is to clean. It's like having a vacuum cleaner that doesn't suck up everything, so you end up picking up certain things by hand. It also spits stuff out every time it backs up. It's really too bad. If the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra had a more effective and powerful suction system, it would significantly reduce its cleaning time. Where's the debris detection? The features I was most excited to test on the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra were its intelligent obstacle detection and self-extrication, which, in a perfect world, are supposed to help it navigate around obstacles and extricate itself when it somehow gets stuck. Unfortunately, in my real-world tests, it didn't do so well. I purposely left another pool cleaner's leader hose attached to the filtration system during testing to see if the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra managed to avoid it. It somehow not only didn't detect it, despite its camera and sensors, but also didn't learn from its first few run-ins, even though it's supposed to be using an AI-powered camera. I expected the robot pool cleaner to at least note that point on the map so it could avoid it next time, but it just proceeded as if it hadn't encountered that obstacle before. During cleaning, it also missed a largish leaf that sat in the same spot at the bottom of the pool. It had difficulty navigating the stairs area too. I can understand not being able to clean the shallow parts properly, but not being able to back out of it to find the deeper area that's quite literally a foot away is disappointing. I'm sure that with software updates, these features will improve, but considering all the advanced features it's supposed to have, it's disappointing it doesn't have these basics already mastered.

It's also effortless to set up, easy to use, long-lasting and feature-rich. If its suctioning, obstacle detection and avoidance performances were any better during testing, it would knock it out of the park as a pool-cleaning service replacement. But the unfortunate truth is that, during my testing, it regularly regurgitated chunks of the floating foliage it already sucked in, and it could not for the life of it detect and remember that there was a large obstacle in one area of the pool wall. Those get in the way of more time-efficient cleaning. The obstacle detection and avoidance might improve with software updates, but the suctioning I'm not so sure. There's also the fact that cordless robot pool cleaners cannot function without human intervention. Unlike floor robot vacuums, they can't leave their charging base on schedule and make their way to your pool on their own. You still have to do that part yourself, as well as empty the basket, rinse the appliance and put it back in the base. I mention this because that's a big factor to consider if you're hoping to purchase a robot pool cleaner to offset your monthly pool cleaning service. Is that something you can comfortably add to your already busy schedule without regretting it later? More importantly, is a $3,550 model worth it in the long run? Because that's how much the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra goes for unless it's on sale. If you have lots of money to spare and some time to devote to it, this is among the best premium pool cleaners money can buy. Otherwise, there are more affordable options (even from Beatbot itself). How often should you clean a pool? How often should you clean a pool? Most pool cleaning services recommend a weekly clean, especially when the pool is regularly used or open for use. If you close a pool — say, for the winter — then weekly cleaning may not be necessary, as a pool cover can minimize the amount of dust and debris that falls in. Can you leave a robotic pool cleaner in a pool overnight? Can you leave a robotic pool cleaner in a pool overnight? It's not recommended to leave a robot pool cleaner in a pool overnight. The water and pool chemicals can degrade its parts over time, and the longer you leave it in there unnecessarily, the faster those parts will degrade. For the same reason, it's good practice to rinse out your robot pool cleaner with fresh water after every use. How long does a robotic pool cleaner last? How long does a robotic pool cleaner last? Most robot pool cleaners are rated with a lifespan of five to seven years. However, higher-end models can last up to 10 years.

Crypto billionaire takes his $28M space trip with five others on Blue Origin's rocket ship

Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket ship rises from its West Texas launch pad. (Blue Origin via YouTube) Controversial crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun finally got his suborbital ride into space today from Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space venture, four years after he put in the winning $28 million bid for a seat. Five other spacefliers were alongside with Sun when Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket ship rose from its launch pad at the company's Launch Site One in West Texas at 7:43 a.m. CT (5:43 a.m. PT) for a 10-minute trip. When Sun emerged from the crew capsule, he made a thumbs-up gesture, then stepped down to kiss the ground. 'I wished to go into space since I was a child, and after almost 30 years, it's come true,' Sun said on Blue Origin's webcast. 'For this mission I waited four years, but we finally delivered it. I really appreciate Mr. Bezos and his team to make it possible. … This is my first commitment and step to space, and we will have more.' Sun is the founder of a blockchain venture called Tron and an adviser to HTX, one of the world's largest crypto exchanges. When the 35-year-old Chinese native won Blue Origin's space auction in 2021, it was meant to guarantee him a spot on New Shepard's first crewed flight that summer. Instead, Sun put his reservation on hold, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts. While Sun was waiting for his flight, legal complications arose: In 2023, he became the subject of a federal investigation over alleged market manipulation and unregistered sales of crypto asset securities. But that case was put on hold in February, and a couple of months later, Sun earned a place of prominence at a crypto dinner with President Donald Trump by purchasing the biggest share of the $TRUMP meme coin. Last month, Tron Inc. became a publicly listed company on Nasdaq. Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun flashes thumbs-up signs as he emerges from Blue Origin's New Shepard crew capsule. (Blue Origin via YouTube) Today's mission, known as NS-34, marked the 34th flight and 14th crewed flight for Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital space program. This flight followed the standard profile for crewed missions: The autonomously controlled, reusable rocket ship's hydrogen-fueled booster sent the crew capsule to an altitude of 65.7 miles (105.7 kilometers), just above the 100-kilometer Karman Line that marks the internationally accepted boundary of outer space. At that height, the NS-34 crew members experienced a few minutes of zero gravity and got an astronaut's-eye view of Earth beneath the black sky of space. Then, at the end of the ride, they made a parachute-assisted touchdown not far from their launch pad. Sun's five crewmates for NS-34 reflected varied backgrounds.

Russell is the founder of Alpha Funds, a technology-focused venture capital company; and Alpha Aerospace, an aerospace consulting and solutions company. He first flew to space on Blue Origin's NS-28 mission last November. 'It was an honor to see so many nations represented on our flight today,' Phil Joyce, Blue Origin's senior vice president for the New Shepard, said in an online recap of today's mission. 'The view of our fragile planet from space has a unifying effect on all who witness it, and I am always eager to see how our astronauts use this experience for the benefit of Earth.' Blue Origin has now sent 75 people on suborbital space trips, including Russell and four other people who have taken multiple trips. The company doesn't typically reveal how much its customers are paying for their flights. Sun's case is the rare exception, due to the fact that the 2021 auction was conducted publicly. Sun's $28 million fare went to Blue Origin's nonprofit educational foundation, the Club for the Future. Most of that money was distributed in the form of million-dollar grants to 19 space-focused nonprofits. In addition to the crew, today's flight carried more than 1,500 digital postcards and 16,000 physical postcards for the Club for the Future's 'Postcards in Space' program, which collects messages from students around the world. Sun set up his own 'To the Sun' program to collect messages — and carried more than 1,000 of those messages into space on a thumb drive. Sun's space ride isn't his only notable purchase: Last December, he made headlines when he spent $6.2 million to purchase a work of conceptual art featuring a banana that was duct-taped to a wall — and then ate the banana. And for what it's worth, Sun isn't the only controversial crypto figure to take a trip on New Shepard. In February, Blue Origin withheld the identity of one of its spacefliers on the NS-30 mission. An analysis of photos and references to the flier in public records, including the Federal Aviation Administration's list of spaceflight participants, suggested that the mystery man was an Australian crypto entrepreneur named Russell Wilson (not to be confused with the former Seahawks quarterback). In response to emailed inquiries, a Blue Origin representative told GeekWire that the company works with a third party to accept crypto payments for spaceflights.
