Beatbot sells two ranges in Australia: Sora and AquaSense 2. The short version: choose Sora for outstanding value across entry-level to surface-and-floor cleaning, and choose the AquaSense 2 Pro or Ultra when you want full five-in-one cleaning with water clarification or, at the top, AI pool mapping. Both ranges are cordless. This guide matches each to a pool type and budget so you can pick with confidence.
Sora vs AquaSense in one line
Sora is the value-focused range that covers everything from entry-level floor cleaning to combined surface and floor cleaning. AquaSense 2 is the premium range: the Pro and Ultra add water clarification, and the flagship Ultra adds HybridSense AI mapping. If budget leads your decision, start with Sora. If you want clarification or mapping, look at AquaSense 2.
What is the Beatbot Sora range?
The Sora range is Beatbot's value line of cordless robotic pool cleaners, spanning three models from $999 to $2,299. All three clean the floor, walls, and waterline, use CleverNav smart navigation with SonicSense ultrasonic obstacle avoidance, and suit shallow water, which makes the entry models a good fit for above-ground pools.
- Sora 10 P1 ($999): an excellent entry-level robot for floor, walls, and waterline. Its shallow-water ability also suits above-ground pools. 2-year warranty.
- Sora 30 P3 ($1,499): fantastic value as a step-up all-rounder for floor, walls, waterline, and platform. 2-year warranty.
- Sora 70 P7 ($2,299): the standout of the range, adding JetPulse water-surface cleaning on top of floor, walls, and waterline. Our pick for best all-round value, with a 3-year warranty.
What is the Beatbot AquaSense 2 range?
The AquaSense 2 range is Beatbot's premium line, spanning $1,999 to $3,999, built around full cleaning, with water clarification on the Pro and Ultra and, at the top, AI mapping. Every AquaSense 2 model carries a 3-year warranty.
- AquaSense 2 ($1,999): cordless floor, wall, and waterline cleaning with AI navigation.
- AquaSense 2 Pro ($2,999): full five-in-one cleaning with water clarification, below the flagship price.
- AquaSense 2 Ultra ($3,999): the flagship, with HybridSense AI 3D pool mapping, five-in-one cleaning, and clarification. See our AquaSense 2 Ultra review for the full breakdown.
