Beatbot vs Wybot: Price, Suction & Build Quality Compared
Last updated: 29 July 2026 · Reviewed by the Poolbot UK product team
Wybot's C1 Pro (£790) and C2 (£878) are both genuine cordless competitors — and both are priced close to Beatbot's Sora 30 (£998), making that the fairest comparison, not a premium AquaSense model. Wybot's C-series cleans floor, walls and waterline with decent suction and multiple cleaning modes. Sora 30 delivers a confirmed 6,800 GPH suction figure (Wybot's C2 publishes up to 3,592 GPH) and adds a UK-backed 2-year warranty through Poolbot, its UK-authorised retailer.
Beatbot Sora 30 vs Wybot C2
| Beatbot Sora 30 | Wybot C2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £998 | £878 |
| Power | Cordless | Cordless |
| Cleans | Floor, walls, waterline | Floor, walls, waterline |
| Suction power | 6,800 GPH | Up to 3,592 GPH |
| Filtration | Fine filter (70 micron) | Dual-layer filtration — 180 micron + 10 micron, 3L capacity |
| Runtime | Up to 180 minutes (3 hours) | Up to 180 minutes (Eco mode) |
| Cleaning modes | Multi-zone smart navigation | 7 modes, 6 navigation paths |
| Warranty | 2 years (UK) | Up to 2 years |
| UK support | UK-authorised retailer (Poolbot) | Via Wybot Europe or third-party retailer |
At £120 more than the C2, Sora 30's main edge is suction power — nearly double the C2's published figure — on otherwise similar coverage and runtime.
Beatbot Sora 30 vs Wybot C1 Pro
| Beatbot Sora 30 | Wybot C1 Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £998 | £790 |
| Power | Cordless | Cordless |
| Cleans | Floor, walls, waterline | Floor, walls, waterline, steps & slopes (Freesuction 3.0) |
| Coverage | Not specified by area — cordless, move as needed | Up to 1,615 sq ft |
| Runtime | Up to 180 minutes (3 hours) | Up to 150 minutes |
| Motors | Not published | Triple-motor system |
| Navigation | Multi-zone smart navigation | 2 path options (S/N) via Wybot app |
| Warranty | 2 years (UK) | Not published — check with retailer |
Be fair to the C1 Pro: it's £208 cheaper and covers steps and slopes, which Sora 30's published specs don't call out — a genuine budget option worth considering if steps/slopes coverage matters more than suction.
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro vs Wybot M2 Vision
Wybot's flagship M2 Vision (£1,884) is the closest Wybot model to Beatbot's AquaSense 2 Pro (£1,948) on price. The M2 Vision brings genuine AI Vision camera technology and a 120W brushless motor, with up to 300 minutes of runtime.
| Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro | Wybot M2 Vision | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £1,948 | £1,884 |
| Power | Cordless | Cordless |
| Cleans | Surface, waterline, floor, walls + ClearWater™ water clarification | Floor and walls (AI Vision camera targeting) |
| Motors | 4 (9 including auxiliary) | 120W brushless motor |
| Navigation | CleverNav™, 22 sensors, AI camera | AI Vision smart camera |
| Runtime | 13,400mAh, wireless charging dock | Up to 300 minutes |
| Water clarification | ClearWater™ natural clarification included | Not offered |
| Warranty | 3 years, full machine replacement | Not published — check with retailer |
At £64 more, AquaSense 2 Pro adds waterline cleaning and built-in water clarification, which the M2 Vision's published specs don't include.
