Beatbot Sora 10

The Beatbot Sora 10 had the best pool coverage, strong runtime, good waterline cleaning, excellent leaf pickup with a giant debris bin, and a slightly finer filter mesh than most of the other robots in the video. If you combine that with the fact that it is very affordably priced and is made by Beatbot, who is known for their excellent customer service and warranty support, it’s probably the most confident I’ve ever felt in a pool vacuum recommendation. The only downsides I can tell are that the Sora 10 didn’t pass the 8” water depth sun shelf test, but according to Beatbot it can clean in as little as 12” of water. Also, the 150-micron filter basket won’t trap algae or fine sand and silt, and it appears that Beatbot’s optional 3-micron filter is only compatible with the Sora 30, not the Sora 10 for some reason.
