"A heavily-sensored pool robot with a price and warranty to match its ambitions."
The 'Intelligent Path Optimization' means this robot uses a sensor array to map your pool and clean it methodically, rather than just bumping around randomly until its battery dies.
This is for owners of large or complex-shaped pools frustrated by the missed spots of random-path cleaners. It's also for buyers willing to pay a significant premium for convenience features like surface-parking and a very long, comprehensive replacement warranty.
Owners of smaller, simple pools can get adequate cleaning from a robot costing less than half this price. Buyers who prioritize a brand's long-term track record over cutting-edge (but unproven) sensor tech should also look elsewhere.
