Completely Cordless with Premium Outdoor Charging Station: Keep the deck clear and your pool cleaner than ever! FREEDOM's cord-free design delivers tangle-free cleaning in 2.5 hours or less. Store your cleaner on the included Easy-Charge Station to fully charge in only 4 hours so it's ready for the next cleaning.
Two Retrieval Methods: FREEDOM climbs to the waterline at end-of-cycle for lightweight removal with quick water release as your pull it out so there's no heavy-lifting! Or use the manual retrieval hook (included) and a standard pole.
Connect with Your Cleaner: Whether you’re at home or away, you can check on your cleaner from the iAquaLink app. The WiFi enabled FREEDOM provides charging status, allows you to select specialized cleaning modes and sends push notifications so you know when a cycle’s done and FREEDOM is ready to retrieve at the waterline.
Four Cleaning Modes: On-demand, manual options on the cleaner allow you to clean either the floor or floor, walls and waterline. Plus! iAquaLink app connectivity lets you select from two additional cleaning modes: Waterline only and SMART Cycle, which calculates the optimal cleaning time for your pool so you can clean it in less time.
Polaris Robotic Pool Cleaners: For more than 50 years, Polaris has been known worldwide for its quality and premium cleaning power. This visionary class of pool cleaners has become the benchmark against which all others are measured. Focused on premium engineering, rugged construction, and reliability, Polaris pool cleaners are built to last and are proven to clean where others can't.
The Freedom is the standard cordless Polaris: the same cable-free convenience as the Freedom Plus, roughly nine pounds lighter, without the LiFi remote. You control it from the app before it goes in, and it comes back to the waterline on its own when it's done.
Cordless, and lighter for it
At 32 lb the Freedom is noticeably easier to handle than the 40.8 lb Freedom Plus. On a cleaner you lift out of the water by hand every few days, that difference is felt.
Four modes
On-unit buttons cover floor-only and floor-plus-walls-and-waterline. The app adds two more targeted options — worth setting up even if you rarely open it otherwise.
Getting it out
Two retrieval methods: it climbs to the waterline at end-of-cycle and releases water as you pull it out, or you can use the manual retrieval hook with a standard pole. There's no remote-summon on this model — that's the Freedom Plus's differentiator.
A note on reviews
The Freedom sits in the mid-3s across a couple of hundred reviews, with battery life over multiple seasons the recurring theme. That's the standing trade-off with cordless robots generally, not unique to Polaris — but it's worth going in with clear expectations.
