Cordless vs Corded Pool Robots: Why Cordless Wins

Pool Robot Guide

Choosing between a corded or cordless pool robot is a big decision, but more and more pool owners are moving to cordless models – and here’s why:

Cordless Pool Robots

  • Safer: No cables in the water and no mains power near the pool
  • Convenient: Just drop it in and press start
  • Flexible: Great for pools of all shapes and sizes
  • Up to 3 Hours of Runtime: Clean your whole pool on a single charge
  • No Messy Cords: Easy storage, simple operation

Corded Pool Robots (The Old Way)

  • Require mains power and a floating cord, meaning you cannot swim while they’re running
  • Expensive repairs – replacing a damaged cord often costs around $400
  • Bulky power supply boxes and setup complexity
  • Great for heavy-duty cleaning but less convenient for everyday users

Verdict: For most Australian pool owners, a cordless robot is the easiest, safest, and most cost-effective choice.
