Beatbot, the robotics company that's been pushing pool cleaners toward full autonomy over the past two years, has all three of its AquaSense robots discounted right now, from an entry model under $800 to a $3,825 flagship that empties and rinses its own filter. The timing lines up with Labor Day weekend, the last big pool party of the season and typically when pool water looks its worst after a summer of leaves, sunscreen, and neglect.

AquaSense 2: the value pick
The deal: $799.00, down from $1,299.00 (38% off)
The AquaSense 2 is Beatbot's entry-level "3-in-1" robot. It cleans floors, walls, and waterlines with double-pass scrubbing, and it parks itself at the surface when it's done so you're not fishing a robot off the bottom of the pool. It navigates with 16 high-precision sensors, including two ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection, and covers pools up to 3,230 square feet on a charge.
What you don't get at this price is the AI camera-based mapping or the automatic water clarification of the two step-up models. There's also no self-emptying filter station: you'll still need to pull the filter basket and rinse it yourself. For most backyard pools, that's a fine trade for saving $1,400 or more compared to the flagship.

AquaSense 2 Ultra: my pick for most people
The deal: $2,199, down from $3,150 (30% off)
What separates the AquaSense 2 Ultra from a standard pool robot is its HybridSense AI camera. It maps your pool and identifies where debris is concentrated, then lets Quick Mode cut cleaning time roughly in half by focusing there instead of running a full cycle across the whole pool. We gave it our Techlicious Editors' Choice Award at IFA 2025 for being the first robotic pool cleaner smart enough to offer a last-minute touch-up before your guests arrive.
It also handles water clarification on its own, dispensing a clarifier made from recycled crab shells that Beatbot claims works four times faster than the manual stuff most people dump in by hand. Its five cleaning functions cover the whole pool – floor, wall, waterline, surface, and clarification – so there's no need to run separate equipment. At $2,199, it's still a serious purchase, but you're getting quite a bit of built-in intelligence to keep things pristine.

AquaSense X: for the early adopter
The deal: $3,825, down from $4,250 (10% off)
Techlicious gave the AquaSense X a Spotlight Award at CES 2026 for its AstroRinse dock, a novel solution to emptying the debris bin and cleaning the filter. When the robot docks itself, the station blasts water through the filter to clear out debris, then flushes everything into a sealed, disposable bag. The three-minute cycle eliminates needing to touch the pool gunk. The 22-liter bin is rated to go about two months between bag changes.
If you own a large pool or a pool that sees a lot of guests, the AstroRinse dock provides a substantial improvement over the manual waste removal required by most pool robots. You’re paying a premium at nearly $4,000, two to three times the $799 Ultra and $2,100 Ultra 2. However, if you hate cleaning your pool filter and want to spend your time relaxing by the pool, not working on it, a truly self-cleaning pool robot may be well worth it.
