If you have a big pool— or your pool has a non-standard shape—the additional cost of the AI is well worth it in my experience. I loved the original BeatBot Pro that I tested before this one, but it never managed to map my pool, always using the deep sense mode instead.

The AquaSense 2 Ultra is still a powerful all-in-one pool robot, but the AquaSense X takes the automation much further by reducing one of the worst parts of pool robot ownership — manually cleaning out the dirty filter after each run.

Both are absolute beasts, but which one's actually worth your hard-earned cash? Is the extra money for the Ultra worth it, or can the Pro get the job done without making your wallet cry? Let's start with what they share. Both of these are 5-in1 pool cleaning machines. That means they clean the floor, the walls, the water line, the surface, and even clarify your pool water.

If you can live with two minutes of hose rinsing each time you need to clean the basket, the AquaSense 2 Ultra or Aiper’s Scuba X1 Pro Max will keep your pool nearly as clean for far less money. But if you want to be completely pampered and have a system you can show off to your friends, the AquaSense X works as advertised and looks great too.

You can see that a lot of the debris is collected, but there is some that the robot misses, usually because the flow of water around the moving robot pushes the debris out of the way.
