The Cordless Trade-Off
Cordless robots run on lithium-ion batteries — typically 2–3 hours per charge, then several hours to recharge. They're convenient and cable-free, but offer shorter cycles and usually cost more than a comparable corded model. As one of the largest authorized dealers and retailers of robotic pool cleaners online, we've hand-tested 70+ robots across every major brand — every recommendation below comes from real poolside experience, and every unit we sell is factory-direct with a full manufacturer warranty.

Who Should Go Cordless
Cordless is the right call if your outlet is far from the pool, you have a plunge or small pool where short cycles are fine, or you simply hate managing a cable. For maximum power, runtime, and value on a full-size inground pool, corded still wins — see our full comparison.
