WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT AQUABOT CLASSIC PLATINUM
Dual Super Grip PVC Brushes for Powerful Traction
This product is designed to effectively clean pools and with the help of PVC brushes, the Aquabot Classic Platinum is able to deliver deep cleaning and climb walls proficiently. This brushes powerfully grips onto surfaces well and they even work perfectly in the slipperiest area of your pool.
Micro Filtration System
In alignment with the above, the cleaner is equipped with a micro-filtration system called the 2 micron EZ which making the cleaner self-contained. While the brushes does its work, the filtration catches dust and other substances such as leaves, algae, small rocks, and branches. The filter cleanses the water efficiently at an astounding rate of thousands of gallons per hour.
Patented Aquasmart Navigation System
Another advanced technology of this cleaner is the Aquasmart navigation system. This is the brain of the robot, it tells what the robot does and enables the cleaner to maneuver all over the entire pool space without giving hassle to the owner. Also, this minimizes the possibility of cables to tangle.
Anti Tangle Swivel
We all know how inconvenient it is to untangle cord all the time so with a long 6 feet cable with swivel, this helps the cleaner to move freely around and clean hard to reach areas without obstruction.
DRAWBACKS OF AQUABOT CLASSIC PLATINUM
- Product is not remote controlled
- Clean filter every after use to keep the bot running at its best
- Tendency to get stuck on stairs when tested several times
- Heavy to lift out in the water despite the handle
CONCLUSION
There is no doubt that the Aquabot Classic Platinum delivers what is promised. It clearly shows improvement from its earlier version, the Classic. The drawbacks indicated are based from real customers. It is the highest level of of this line of Aquabot products, the top-tier, the best of the best.
No major issues but still it needs careful attention. Although yes, cleaning the pool for 6 hours, you definitely would need to clean the filter after every use because of a small filter bag. If you’re also looking for robot that loads on top, this isn’t for you. Check out other top performing robotic pool cleaners. Replacing the filter bag is cumbersome and this somehow lessens the wear and tear of the robot hence increasing its durability.
Another one is the heaviness of the cleaner when taken out of the water. The bot is not that lightweight and bots collect waters when it’s doing its dirty work. It would have been better if there was a quick dry system. At least it would assist owners to lift out the cleaner with ease.
But aside from its limitations, its performance is still highly recommended. Overall, compared to other robotic cleaners, this one is a steal and worth to invest. Very simple to operate, the design is simple too, but cleans the pool efficiently and effectively. Sounds reasonable for its price!
