Prime Day Pool Cleaner Deal: $400 Off the Beatbot Sora Robot Vacuum

Want to take a dip but daunted by the scum and detritus on your pool's walls, floors, and surfaces? Forget calling the pool boy or getting out there with the skimmer and scrubber. There's a better option, and it's called Beatbot. The robotic pool cleaner masters are offering a huge Prime Day discount on one of their most powerful and effective models, the Sora 70, and this thing will work wonders on your pool, getting you happily swimming in no time.

The Beatbot Sora 70 is a massively versatile device, cleaning the water surface, waterline, floor, walls, and shallow areas as low as 8 inches in a single cycle. It moves around on two tank-like treads, with a spinning brush arrangement in the middle of the bottom and a large filter unit on top. Four guide wheels on the side keep it from scraping up against your pool walls. The internal pump has 6,800 GPH of suction to easily grab even large debris. A pair of ultrasonic sensors help it dodge obstacles and orient itself. As it drives around, it looses dirt and debris and sucks it up inside itself.

When it's tasked with cleaning the surface, the Sora 70 uses dual water jets to guide floating debris into the suction area, methodically collecting it all until there's nothing in your pool but fun. When the tank is full, the robot automatically floats to the surface and parks itself in a corner of the pool for emptying, which is a breeze thanks to a pop-out basket. It'll also send you a notification to the Sora app to let you know about it.

The 10,000 mAh battery is rated to last for a full five hours of underwater cleaning time, and that's more than enough for most backyard pools up to 3,200 square feet. Multiple selectable modes and zones let you target areas for more thorough scrubbing. One drawback is that you can't use the app to change its area while it's underwater due to range issues, but that's fairly minor. This is one of the most efficient pool cleaners on the market, and it's built to last for dozens of summers.

Robotic pool cleaners have traditionally been a luxury purchase, with top consumer models retailing for several thousand dollars. Being able to grab one of the best we've seen for $999 is a Prime Day blessing, and your kids (or neighbors) will thank you for it. This deal evaporates at midnight on Friday, so don't wait around.
