Why corded wins

Corded Dolphin keeps pool cleaning simpler than a battery-powered Beatbot.

Beatbot adds smart features, but it also adds charging, finite runtime and battery care. Dolphin Max-Series™ and ProLine™ keep the routine simple with continuous corded power and reusable filtration.

The cordless trade-off

AquaSense 2 runs on a battery

  • No floating cable, but the robot must recharge after its available battery is used.
  • Runtime: Up to 4 hours floor or 3.5 hours walls/waterline
  • Recharge time: About 4 hours
Why we recommend Dolphin

Corded power keeps the next cycle ready

  • No charging delay or finite battery runtime.
  • Reusable MaxBin™, NanoFilters™ or MultiMedia™ filtration choices.
  • Authorized-dealer support and genuine replacement parts.

Choose a Max-Series™ or ProLine™ Dolphin when immediate repeat cycles, simpler corded operation, model-specific filtration and Maytronics' authorized-dealer network matter more.

Explore Max-Series™ or explore ProLine™.

How AquaSense 2 and Premium 3000 compare

The Beatbot AquaSense 2 is cordless and rated for up to 3,230 sq ft. It cleans floor + walls + waterline and uses 2 l, 150 µm filter basket filtration. Runtime: Up to 4 hours floor or 3.5 hours walls/waterline.

The Dolphin Premium 3000 comes from the Premium™ lineup. It is rated for not published and cleans not published with Not published filtration. Its standard cycle is not published.

The easy choice: corded Dolphin

The AquaSense 2 removes the floating cable, but it adds charging time, finite runtime and battery care to the cleaning routine.

We recommend the Dolphin Quantum Pro. It delivers corded cleaning with no recharge delay, plus it bridges both flagship lineups with app control, an XXL MaxBin™, NanoFilters™ and cleaning from the floor and steps through the waterline.

Large-pool note: do not substitute a 50 ft residential Dolphin for a pool that genuinely requires a larger published rating. Size the cleaner to the actual pool before comparing convenience or price.
