It’s my personal belief that all pool-cleaning robots should be vaguely humanoid and have to wear swim trunks, but what do I know? Could be that the world just isn’t ready for C-3PO in board shorts whining as he scoops leaves off the top of a pool with one of those big, long-handeled nets.Until that terrifying day comes, our robotic pool cleaners will look a lot more pedestrian, despite the good job they do. But at least they’ll complain less.top-selling pool vacuums on sale(opens in a new window)WybotCordless Robotic Pool Vacuum(opens in a new window)$429.98 (reg. $769.99) at WalmartBuy Now(opens in a new window)The Wybot Cordless Robotic Pool Vacuum will run for three hours on a charge, and it’ll clean pools up to 1614 square feet and up to 9.8 feet deep.

Just like how every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square.Pool vacuums are pool cleaners that rely upon a suction-based system to gobble up debris. Pool cleaner is the broader term, and a pool cleaner may just use a scrubber rather than a more expensive, complicated suction-based cleaning mechanism. Generally a vacuum will be more effective because it’ll suck up the bits of debris and filth that may otherwise get scrubbed clean but drift away through the water.The post These Robot Pool Vacuums and Pool Cleaners Are on Super Sale Right Now appeared first on VICE.
