What the Polaris Pixel does well
Completely Cordless with One Touch Start: Keep the cables at bay. PIXEL has a cord-free design that enables you to clean your pool floor without any tangling or tripping concerns. Just press start and place it in your pool!
Transparent Lid: Take the guesswork out of knowing when to empty the canister—you can clearly see when your filter canister is full of debris.
Easy Clean Filter Canister: Never touch debris again. Emptying your filter canister is easy as 1…2…3. Simply remove the cleaner from the pool, unlatch the canister, shake and spray.
Wall-Side Parking for Easy Removal: No need to reach when retrieving your cleaner. When cleaning is done, PIXEL automatically waits where the pool floor meets the wall so you can easily remove it with a pole and the included hook attachment.
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 Pixel is the entry point to cordless Polaris: no app, no pairing, no modes to choose. One button starts a floor clean, and when it's done the cleaner parks itself at the base of the wall so you're not reaching into the middle of the pool.
Floor only — and that's the point
The Pixel cleans the pool floor. It doesn't climb walls or scrub the waterline. On a pool where settled dirt is the actual problem and the walls stay clean, paying for wall climbing you won't use is money wasted.
Wall-side parking
At end of cycle it drives to where the floor meets the wall and stops there. Combined with the compact body, retrieval is a reach-and-lift rather than a pole-and-hook exercise.
Maintenance
Transparent lid, remove-unlatch-shake-spray. The same canister design as the rest of the Polaris range, scaled down.

Polaris Pixel FAQ
Does the Polaris Pixel climb walls?
No — it's a floor cleaner. For walls and waterline, look at the P724 (corded) or the Freedom line (cordless).
Does it need an app?
No. It's one-touch start with no app or pairing.
How do you get it out of the pool?
It parks itself where the pool floor meets the wall when the cycle finishes.
