Beatbot brings serious cordless engineering, AI mapping and surface cleaning. Dolphin Max-Series™ and ProLine™ take a different path: continuous corded power, reusable filtration choices and an established dealer-and-parts network.
Beatbot adds premium automation, but every model still depends on battery runtime and charging. Max-Series™ and ProLine™ provide continuous corded power, immediate repeat cycles and a simpler service-and-filtration path.
The practical difference: Beatbot adds surface features and more hardware, while Max-Series™ and ProLine™ provide continuous corded cleaning with no charging routine.
Dolphin data below refers only to the promoted Max-Series™ and ProLine™. Beatbot data refers to the current AquaSense 2, AquaSense 2 Ultra and AquaSense X pages.
| What to compare | Dolphin Max-Series™ / ProLine™ | Beatbot AquaSense 2 / 2 Ultra / X |
|---|---|---|
| Power | Corded low-voltage operation with no onboard traction battery to recharge. | Cordless lithium-ion battery. Published charge times are about 4 hours for AquaSense 2 and 4.5 hours for 2 Ultra and X. |

Quantum, Premier and Sigma: floor, walls and waterline; current Quantum materials also list steps. | AquaSense 2: floor, walls and waterline. 2 Ultra adds surface, qualifying platforms and clarification. X adds surface, qualifying platforms and clarification with a filter station. |
| Surface skimming | Not included on the promoted Max-Series™ or ProLine™ robots. | Included on AquaSense 2 Ultra and AquaSense X; not included on AquaSense 2. |
| Filtration | Model-specific MaxBin™, included ultra-fine panels, NanoFilters™ or Premier cartridge-and-bag options. Maytronics does not publish one comparable micron number across the group. | AquaSense 2: 150 µm, 2 L. 2 Ultra: published 150/250 µm dual layers. X: up to 150 µm, 5 L robot basket plus a 22 L station. |

Pool area and maximum length are different measurements. Match each cleaner to the actual dimensions of your pool.
AquaSense 2 Ultra maps the pool and cleans the surface. AquaSense X goes further with a filter-cleaning station; the owner still retrieves and places the robot on it. No promoted Dolphin has direct feature parity with those systems.
Max-Series™ and ProLine™ can run another cycle as soon as the filter is rinsed. There is no four-to-four-and-a-half-hour battery charge between full-capacity runs.
Choose AI mapping, surface parking or the filter station when those features solve a real problem. Choose Dolphin when a proven corded clean and a straightforward parts path are the priority.
Choose the corded Dolphin that fits your pool, then compare filtration, controls and warranty.
It is cordless, publishes up to four hours of floor cleaning, parks at the surface and lists a 3-year main-body warranty. Its page publishes a 150 µm, 2 L basket and a 5,500 GPH internal-lab maximum.
Quantum is corded, rated to 50 ft and cleans the floor, walls, waterline and steps. It pairs an XXL MaxBin™ with included NanoFilters™, app control and a weekly timer.
Our pick: Quantum. It provides immediate repeat cycles and the featured Dolphin filtration platform without AquaSense 2’s charging routine.
It combines submerged cleaning, surface skimming, AI mapping, debris detection and qualifying platform coverage. Beatbot publishes up to five hours on the floor, ten on the surface and a 3-year replacement policy.
Our picks: Premier or Sigma. Premier adds filter flexibility, while Sigma provides connected ProLine™ cleaning without AquaSense 2 Ultra’s recharge delay.
Its AstroRinse™ station cleans the filter and transfers debris after the owner places the retrieved robot on it. The robot also combines surface, floor, wall, waterline and qualifying-platform cleaning with AI mapping, app control and a standard 3-year warranty.
Premier and Sigma do not include a self-cleaning station or surface skimmer. They instead provide continuous corded cleaning, 3-year warranties and established Maytronics dealer, parts and service channels.
Our pick: ProLine. Its continuous corded power and simpler ownership routine make it the better long-term choice.

Cayman is the corded value pick, Quantum is the best all-around bridge, and Sigma is the connected ProLine™ flagship.
Floor-and-wall cleaning, a weekly timer, top-load MaxBin™ filtration and a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
Floor, wall, waterline and step coverage for pools up to 50 ft, with NanoFilters™ and app control.
myDolphin™ Plus, 4,500 GPH published flow, waterline coverage and a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Escape, Cayman and Quantum list 2-year manufacturer warranties. Premier and Sigma list 3 years. Maytronics also publishes authorized dealers and genuine replacement parts.
Read our Dolphin warranty guideBeatbot’s current US table lists 36 months for the main body, including specified drive-box components, plastic parts and power supply. Consumables and exclusions have separate terms.
Read Beatbot’s warranty policyFactual result: a 3-year Beatbot warranty is longer than the 2-year coverage on Escape, Cayman or Quantum and equal in headline length to Premier or Sigma. Warranty length alone does not make the service process identical.
Beatbot’s smart parking, mapping, surface cleaning and filter station all sit on a battery-powered platform with finite runtime, charging and more hardware to maintain.
Our overall recommendation remains Max-Series™ or ProLine™ for pool owners who prioritize immediate repeat cycles, established reusable filtration, genuine parts and a local dealer path.
Dolphin is our better overall recommendation for continuous cleaning, filtration choice and the Maytronics dealer-and-parts ecosystem. Beatbot is the better fit when cordless operation, surface cleaning, AI mapping or AquaSense X’s filter station is the priority.
No. No promoted Max-Series™ or ProLine™ model includes both surface skimming and a filter-cleaning station. AquaSense X must be retrieved and placed on that station; Premier and Sigma are useful premium alternatives for continuous corded cleaning, but they are not feature-identical products.
Beatbot’s current US table lists 3 years for AquaSense 2, 2 Ultra and X. Dolphin lists 2 years for Escape, Cayman and Quantum and 3 years for Premier and Sigma. Exact terms, exclusions and service processes differ.
Not directly. Pool area and maximum length are different measurements, and a reliable conversion requires the actual pool geometry. Compare each rating with your measured pool instead of converting one headline number.
Start with Dolphin Quantum. AquaSense 2 offers cordless runtime, smart parking and a longer headline warranty. Quantum offers continuous corded power, floor-through-waterline coverage, NanoFilters™, app control and a weekly timer.
