What are the differences between cordless and corded robot pool cleaners?
What are the differences between cordless and corded robot pool cleaners?
Corded robot pool cleaners are powered through a long cable connected to an electrical outlet, which allows for continuous cleaning without worrying about battery life. They are generally more powerful and can clean larger pools without interruption. On the other hand, cordless robot cleaners run on rechargeable batteries, offering more freedom of movement and no risk of cable tangling. However, their cleaning time is limited by battery life, so they may need to be recharged between uses. Choosing between the two depends on your pool size, cleaning needs, and preference for convenience versus cleaning power.
