Design, features and handling
From the first contact, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra strikes with its imposing size and robust design. Weighing 13.9 kg , it is clearly intended for large pools and demanding users. But behind this weight, Beatbot has integrated intelligent solutions to facilitate daily use: an automatic draining system simplifies the removal of water, while an ergonomic handle allows the robot to be operated alone, effortlessly. The quality of the materials and the careful finish reinforce the impression of a product designed to last.
The AquaSense 2 Ultra doesn't just clean the bottom. Its four main brushes (two at the front, two at the rear) effectively tackle the walls, complemented by rotating brushes for the waterlines. The “Ultra” version adds two additional side brushes , generating a suction current that channels debris towards the suction inlet. A motorized hatch takes care of leaves and floating debris, ensuring a complete clean, from the bottom to the surface.
On the ground, the robot is precise and methodical . It moves smoothly, avoids obstacles and adapts to the complex shapes of pools. Its 200 W treats up to 20,000 liters of water per hour , and its 13,400 mAh offers impressive autonomy: up to 5 hours for complete cleaning of the bottom and 10 hours for the surface , covering 300 m² without interruption. The combination of power, autonomy and on-board intelligence transforms the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra into a true ally for efficient maintenance, without compromise.
It is not just a powerful robot: it is a device designed to offer precision, efficiency and comfort of use , capable of competing with the high-end models on the market.

Beabot AquaSense 2 Ultra Onboard Technologies
What really sets the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra from its competitors is its impressive technological arsenal. It features 27 ultrasonic sensors coupled with an infrared sensor , ensuring precise navigation and fine obstacle detection. But the real highlight lies in its smart camera , capable not only of avoiding toys or accessories forgotten at the bottom of the water, but also of automatically adapting its cleaning program according to the type of dirt and the configuration of the pool.
The accompanying mobile app "park" allows the robot to position itself at the edge of the pool for quick recovery, while the "eco" starts cleaning the bottom every two days. The only small drawback: finer granularity in the programming (every 3 or 4 days, for example) would be appreciated by users looking for maximum control.
Another notable innovation is the integration of a clarifying agent called “Clear Water” . These capsules, made from recycled crab shells, agglomerate fine suspended particles, facilitating their suction and improving water clarity. This exclusive feature reinforces the premium and underlines Beatbot’s attention to detail.
Effectiveness on the ground: a thorough cleaning
To assess its performance, we tested the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra in an 8 x 4 m pool with a liner , filled with leaves and sand. As soon as it starts up, the robot scans the pool to create a precise map , before starting its cleaning cycle. The result is impressive.
Cleaning the bottom and walls is remarkably effective. The AquaSense 2 Ultra follows a rigorous method: it starts with the edges and corners, often hard-to-reach areas, before sweeping the entire bottom. Its suction power allows it to remove almost all debris, from leaves to the finest gravel. On the walls, it adopts an “N” motion to cover each area without leaving any dead spots, while efficiently bypassing major obstacles. The only downside is that the detection of smaller objects, such as a single stone or a snorkel, remains improvable.
The dual-basket filtration system (150 and 180 microns) ensures effective cleaning for the majority of debris. However, the absence of an ultra-fine filter for sludge (3-4 microns, available on some competing models) is a small regret for a robot of this level.
In terms of surface cleaning , the efficiency remains very good, even if navigation can become a little random due to the wind. The small side fins help to direct debris towards the suction, and the robot manages to remove a large part of the leaves in just a few hours. The “park” , which allows the robot to automatically position itself at the edge of the pool at the end of the cycle, is a real comfort for the user and underlines the attention paid to the practical experience.
Who is the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra for?
The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is primarily aimed at owners of large pools , up to 300 m² , looking for a high-end robot capable of automating everything. From the bottom to the walls, including the water lines and the surface, it promises a complete cleaning with minimal user intervention .
This robot will also appeal to technophiles and home automation enthusiasts, won over by its advanced sensors , its onboard artificial intelligence and its comprehensive mobile application , offering precise control and multiple operating modes. Its high price positioning makes it aimed at a demanding , ready to invest to benefit from a device combining performance, ease of use and exclusive innovations .
Competition: against its rivals
The market for cordless pool robots has grown significantly in recent years, but the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra occupies a category of its own. Compared to popular models like the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus or the Aiper Seagull Pro multifunctional and high-tech approach .
Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus : Effective on the bottom and walls, it doesn't offer surface cleaning or a water clarification function. Its weight can also make handling more difficult once filled. On the other hand, its price remains more affordable, making it an attractive option for medium-sized pools.
Aiper Seagull Pro : This direct competitor in the cordless segment covers both the bottom and the surface. But the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra goes further thanks to its artificial intelligence , its on-board camera , its 27 sensors and its side brushes that optimize suction on the surface, offering more complete coverage and smarter navigation.
Even within its own range, the Ultra justifies itself compared to the AquaSense 2 Pro : it benefits from an increase in sensors (27 against 22), AI, the camera, the side brushes and the clarifier system , which improve cleaning precision and the management of floating debris. In the high-end segment, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is therefore positioned as a benchmark in terms of autonomy, efficiency and innovation .
