Key Features
- Disappointing Results - With no active scrubbing brush and no smart navigation, the Wybot A1 aimlessly wondered around our pool bouncing around.
- Flat Pools Only - The Wybot A1's first critical mistake is the ability to only clean flat pool floors. This leaves a majority of your pool's surface area uncleaned and unscrubbed. We recommend a robot with a rotating brush.
- EcoMode - One of the differences with the new Wybot A1 is the EcoMode which allows you to set it to run in different internals of as little as 30 minutes every few days. However, this was not enough in our testing to keep a clean pool.
- Short Battery Life - The battery only lasts 120 minutes total. You can break it down by day, but the constant fetching it out of the pool got annoying compared to a corded pool robot.
- Some Users Report Failure - During our research phase, we noticed a lot of users reported failure of the unit after just a few weeks.
- Works on In-Ground and Above Ground - Wybot rates the A1 for inground and above-ground use. Designed for flat floors, we tested the Wybot A1 in a 33ft above-ground pool and 20ft inground pool.

Questions & Answers
Common questions about the Wybot A1
Above-ground robotic pool cleaners are designed to clean the floor only. In-ground cleaners with wall-climbing capability are built differently; check your model's specs for floor-only vs floor, walls, and waterline.
With proper care and normal use, most robotic pool cleaners last 3–7 years. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, pool chemistry, surface type, and whether you store and maintain the unit as recommended.
It's best to remove the cleaner after each cycle and store it in a shaded, dry place. Leaving it in the pool can expose it to sun, chemicals, and debris, which can shorten its life.
Most plug into a standard 120V outlet via a low-voltage cable and control unit. A few models are cordless and run on a rechargeable battery; check your product's specifications.
Running it 2–3 times per week is typical for many pools. Heavy debris, high use, or large pools may require more frequent runs; smaller or covered pools may need less.
Check that the power supply is on and the cable isn't tangled or caught. Ensure the filter basket isn't overfull and that the unit isn't stuck on a step or drain. If it still doesn't move, refer to the manual or contact support.
No. Robotic pool cleaners run on their own power and filtration. You can run them with the pump off, which can save energy compared to pressure or suction-side cleaners.
Most residential robotic pool cleaners use a standard 120V outlet. The control box steps this down to low voltage for the floating cable. Check your manual for your model's requirements.
Simple tasks like cleaning filters and unclogging impellers are usually fine. For motor, cable, or electronics issues, use an authorized technician or the manufacturer's support to avoid voiding the warranty.
Cartridge filters are reusable: you rinse or wash them and put them back. Debris bags are often disposable or optional for heavy leaf pickup. Some robots include both; check your model for options.
Download the Wybot app, ensure the robot is powered on and in range, and follow the in-app pairing steps. Details may vary by model; refer to the manual or app instructions.
