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 AquaSense 2 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 that adds water clarification and, on the flagship, 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 ($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 ($1,499): fantastic value as a step-up all-rounder for floor, walls, waterline, and platform. 2-year warranty.
- Sora 70 ($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 $4,899, built around full cleaning plus water clarification 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 ($3,599): full five-in-one cleaning with water clarification, below the flagship price.
- AquaSense 2 Ultra ($4,899): the flagship and only model with HybridSense AI 3D pool mapping, five-in-one cleaning, and clarification. See our AquaSense 2 Ultra review for the full breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Beatbot Sora and AquaSense?
Sora is the value range covering entry-level to combined surface and floor cleaning, from $999 to $2,299. AquaSense 2 is the premium range that adds water clarification and, on the flagship Ultra, HybridSense AI pool mapping, from $1,999 to $4,899.
Is the Sora 70 better than the AquaSense 2?
It depends on your priorities. The Sora 70 ($2,299) adds JetPulse surface cleaning that the AquaSense 2 ($1,999) does not have, and both carry a 3-year warranty. For most standard pools the Sora 70 is the stronger all-rounder; for a simple floor-and-wall clean at a lower price, the AquaSense 2 is the pick.
Which Beatbot is best for a small or above-ground pool?
The Sora 10 ($999) is the best entry-level choice, and its shallow-water ability makes it well suited to above-ground pools.
Which Beatbot has water clarification?
Water clarification is offered on the AquaSense 2 Pro ($3,599) and AquaSense 2 Ultra ($4,899). The Sora range focuses on cleaning rather than clarification.
Are all Beatbot robots cordless?
Yes. Every model in both the Sora and AquaSense ranges is fully cordless and runs independently of your pool's pump and filtration.
