Our opinion

The buying view.

“The trolley helps with transport. Allow for manual retrieval and a floating cable without a swivel.”

Manufacturer specifications and verified Australian availability; real-world scores are conservative where independent coverage testing is unavailable.

  • 3.7 L top-access basket
  • Adjustable wall climbing
  • Transport trolley included
03

What ownership still involves

No pool robot is hands-off.

  • 100-micron basket sold separately
  • Baracuda specifies an optional PVA brush for tiled pools.

Empty and rinse the basket after debris-heavy cycles, inspect brushes and tracks, maintain water chemistry and manually brush any missed corners, steps or waterline sections.
