I don’t want to clean this. - Beatbot AquaSense Pro Spotlight

Insane neighbor throws robot into pool

Sandals + Socks + Rain = Pure Linus mode.

The amount of leaves in linus' pool wasn't even that unreasonable. That is what would be in my aunt and uncle's pool every time we took the cover off and we were over there every weekend, it took us 15-30 minutes to clean it up with a skimmer basket and the vacuum. The fact that this robot took 6 hours, and three charges over multiple days doesn't speak highly of its usefulness. I feel like it needs a bigger basket and battery, or just stick to the ones that are plugged in and drag the cord around floating on the surface.

Damn, Beatbot must have paid an INSANE amount of money for an entire 11 minute video showcasing the product and to a channel with 15.6 million subscribers.

I'd hate to live where Linus lives... Imagine living with constant blurry surroundings...

that unidentified organism is likely a dragonfly larvae. They are kind of like an aquatic cicada, they will eventually come out of the water, molt that shell and turn into a dragonfly. The larvae will feed on mosquito larvae, then once they molt into adult form, they eat adult mosquitoes. Truly a great insect! (for all of us who hate mosquitoes)

Fair play for them not hiding how well/not well the product works. Genuinely shocked the company wanted this to go out.

"And as I do, I will slowly shut down my higher brain functions... un-making myself... leaving just enough to appreciate my surroundings... to extract some simple pleasure from the execution of a task well done. My search for truth is finished at last." -That little pool cleaning robot: Zima Blue.

I've watched enough pool cleaning tiktoks to know... absolutely nothing about this.

That pool is so dirty I was fearing Shrek would pass by and yell to get out of his swamp.

This thing should have solar charging and it should live in the pool 24x7.

The $2,500 price tag for the pool robot seems excessive, especially since it lacks the capability to autonomously leave its docking station for cleaning. This limitation requires manual operation, making it impractical for use while away or asleep. Despite my experience with high-end pool robots featuring advanced scheduling and app integration, I now recommend opting for the most affordable model available that includes essential components like a filter, cable, and available spare parts. Essentially, a pool robot's primary function is to circulate water through a filter. By choosing a less expensive model, you can keep the robot in the water for daily cleaning, simply managed with a remote switch or timer. The additional features like motorized brushes and side cleaning are unnecessary and often overhyped. In my experience, including with three Zodiac models, pricier robots tend to fail more quickly. For minimal maintenance, using a manual brush twice per season is sufficient.

I hope Zima Blue is happy cleaning Linus’s pool.

Needed to stop midway and say: I really hope no one gets hurt.. but, the 'you threw glass in the pool? What the hell!' still really got me! xD

1:56 the brainrot has gotten to Linus.

I threw the Roomba in the pool and it worked for a while. But then it stopped. Maybe it needs the docking station as well. BRB.

Fun Fact : South Africa has very few inventions to its name, but one of them is the Kreepy Krauly, a self running pool vacuum cleaner which used an interesting water hammer effect to chucka-chucka-chucka around your pool. Aside from not being able to do the surface of the water, it pretty much does the job this robot does at a tiny fraction of the price. 90s Tech for the win!

I had this same exact issue with a wireless bot. Unless the water is crystal clear, you will loose it. Or at least I did with a larger pool. Good luck trying to find/fish out the bot in a 12 ft deep, 25x50 ft pool. But if the pool is already pretty clean and this is just doing maint., this is a great tool. Great to see the app actually works. And there's backup buttons on the device. I went through 3 different models that had apps that were flaky at best, completely unusable most of the time. Just gave up and went for a traditional AC tethered model at that point.

Imagine the amount of brain-eating amoeba you could get by jumping into this pool before it was cleaned.
