Top pick

ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1

ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1

At 3 microns, the ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1 has the finest documented secondary stage here, and it is backed by 4,800 GPH of published flow.

Why it suits this job

  • Documented low-micron filtration
  • Filter area big enough to keep it from clogging fast
The catch
Steps are something ECOVACS says the P1 is not designed to clean.
Go with WYBOT C2 if
Cordless cleaning of a large pool where both fine debris and flexible modes count
More reasons we picked it
