Priced at just $497, the Aquabot X2 packs an 85 GPM (5,100 GPH) filtration pump and twin top-loading 2-micron micro-mesh baskets into a nimble frame built for above-ground and small inground pools up to 39 feet. Want 4WD wall climbing, a 360° swivel cable, and a programmable timer? Step up to the Aquabot X4.
The X2 focuses on floor cleaning for pools up to 39 ft. Stepping up to the Aquabot X4 adds true 4-wheel drive wall and waterline climbing, a 360° anti-tangle swivel cord, and a programmable multi-cycle timer.
Both are under $500 with 2-year warranties! Pick the Aquabot X2 if fine 2-micron filtration and 85 GPM water circulation top your list; pick the Dolphin E10 if you want continuous rubber tracks and a 2×-speed front active scrubbing brush.
It uses twin rigid top-loading filter cartridges—just pop the top lids and rinse with a hose.
Manufacturer-backed protection and help from authorized US service centers.
If it isn’t right for your pool, start a return within 30 days.
Your cleaner ships fast and free on qualifying orders, ready for its first run.
