Pool-robot selector

Reviewed Skip to the planner

Pool owners matching a robot to pool shape. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate pool type into a robot class. Fit and capacity are the expensive mistakes. Settle those before you commit to a finish or a brand.

This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank Dolphin, Aiper, and Polaris Pool. It produces an explainable class so Dolphin Nautilus CC Automatic Robotic Pool Vacuum Cleaner, Wall, Aiper Scuba S1, and Polaris 9450 Sport Robotic Pool Cleaner, Automatic Vacuum can be compared as examples of that class.

The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in ENERGY STAR. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.

How to use this calculator

Pool owners matching a robot to pool shape. Translate pool type into a robot class. If you can answer pool length, this page can produce a class you can shop against.

What this page will not do

  1. Enter the planning inputs

    Choose a pool robot by recording pool length. Use real measurements or counts, not a rounded marketing number.

  2. Keep optional extras off until they are real

    This tool has no optional add-ons. If a number is uncertain, calculate a range and keep the more conservative class.

  3. Read the planning class

    Calculate class and treat the headline as a class, not a product name. Matching examples below follow Inground, Cordless, and Pressure.

  4. Compare official pages, then verify

    Open the official page for each example in that class. Confirm current specifications, dimensions, and terms. Decision Lantern does not quote a live price or complete an install review.
