Wybot C2: our review
The only one in the selection to cover floor, walls and waterline over a claimed 150 m² with 130 minutes of runtime. It's the robot that demands the fewest compromises on a typical in-ground pool.

Who it's for
- A typical in-ground pool, up to around 150 m², whose walls and waterline turn green and that you're tired of scrubbing by hand.
Who it's not for
- A pool with a slope above 15°, which the manufacturer explicitly excludes. And if you want a brand with twenty years of after-sales support in France, look at the Zodiac.
What it really cleans
This is the criterion that weighs heaviest in our grid, and the one where half the pool robots sold on Amazon.co.uk fall short. The C2 claims all three areas: the floor, the walls and the waterlineC. It's the last one that makes the visible difference — the greasy band that forms at the surface is what you see first when you reach the pool edge, and it's what a floor-only robot will leave you scrubbing by hand all season. The manufacturer claims coverage of 150 m²C, which covers the vast majority of family pools. One limit is stated in black and white: the pool's slope must stay under 15°C. On a pool with a pronounced sloped floor or a diving well, this robot isn't the right choice.
Suction and filtration
The 72 W motor is claimed to deliver 82.1% efficiency and 30% better cleaning performance than the previous generationC. Freesuction 3.0 technology relies on two brushless dual-suction motors, presented as effective on sand and fine sedimentC — precisely what an entry-level robot leaves on the floor. Brushless motors have a concrete benefit beyond marketing: fewer mechanical wear parts, hence a theoretically longer lifespan on a device that works submerged.
Runtime and battery
The 6,600 mAh Li-Po battery is rated for 130 minutesC. On a medium-sized pool, that's plenty for a full uninterrupted floor + walls cycle. Keep in mind that the claimed runtime corresponds to the most economical mode: at maximum suction, expect noticeably less. That's true of every robot on this page, and it's the first figure manufacturers optimise for the spec sheet. The battery is also the number-one wear part of any cordless robot: after three to five seasons, replacing it can represent a significant fraction of the robot's priceE.
In daily use
The robot navigates on its own, detects the walls and automatically returns to the edge when the battery runs lowC — a detail that spares you fishing the robot out with a pole, a chore that puts off more than one owner after a few weeks. At 8 kgC, it remains manageable with one hand for an adult, but it's no longer the device you casually lift out of the water: plan a support point. It's claimed compatible with both in-ground and above-ground poolsC.
What should make you hesitate
Wybot is a recent brand on the French marketA. On a device immersed four months a year, the question that matters isn't the spec sheet but whether a seal or a battery will be available in three years — and there, no recent brand can prove itself except over time. The 15° slope limit is the other thing to check before ordering, tape measure in hand: it's a physical constraint, not a software setting.

Frequently asked questions
About the Wybot C2
Does the Wybot C2 really clean the waterline?
Yes, it's claimed by the manufacturer on the same footing as the floor and the walls. That's what sets it apart from the floor-only robots in this selection, like the Aiper Scuba SE or the Zodiac Pixel OP32, which only treat the bottom of the pool.
Is it suitable for an above-ground pool?
The manufacturer claims compatibility with both in-ground and above-ground pools, provided the slope stays under 15°. On a small flat-bottomed above-ground pool, a lighter, cheaper model like the Aiper Scuba SE is more than enough.
What's the difference with the Wybot C2 Vision Plus?
The Vision Plus adds an AI-driven camera, eight cleaning modes and six customisable paths, for a claimed 210 m² instead of 150. It costs significantly more: the question is whether you want to control your robot from an app or simply press a button.
How long does a pool robot battery last?
Expect three to five seasons before a noticeable loss of runtime, depending on usage frequency and winter storage. To preserve it: don't leave the robot immersed permanently, and store it for winter with the battery charged to around 50% in a frost-free place.
