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.
AquaSense X runs on a battery
- No floating cable, but the robot must recharge after its available battery is used.
- Runtime: Up to 5 hours floor, 5 hours walls/waterline or 10 hours surface
- Recharge time: About 4.5 hours
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.

How AquaSense X and Escape compare
The Beatbot AquaSense X is cordless and rated for up to 3,875 sq ft. It cleans surface + floor + walls + waterline + platforms at least 35 cm deep + clarification and uses 5 l robot basket, up to 150 µm; astrorinse™ station with 22 l debris capacity filtration. Runtime: Up to 5 hours floor, 5 hours walls/waterline or 10 hours surface.
The Dolphin Escape comes from the Max-Series™ lineup. It is rated for up to 30 ft and cleans floor with MaxBin™ filtration. Its standard cycle is 1.5 hours.
The easy choice: corded Dolphin
The AquaSense X removes the floating cable, but it adds charging time, finite runtime and battery care to the cleaning routine.
We recommend the Dolphin Escape. Its corded power is ready for another cycle as soon as the filter is rinsed, and it belongs to the Max-Series™.
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.
