How an AI Robotic Pool Cleaner Changed the Way I Enjoy My Backyard

I used to think it would be the ultimate luxury to have a pool in my backyard — like my own little slice of summer, just a stone’s throw away. And in many ways, it was. But what we don’t really hear about is how much work involves keeping that pool looking as inviting as it does in your daydreams. Scrubbing tiles, scooping leaves, vacuuming debris: It didn’t feel so much like a carefree bonus as an inescapable chore. That was until I found the Beatbot AquaSense 2 series –AI robots pool cleaner that honestly re-invigorated my love for having a pool.

Before this, I’d gone through a couple of those old-school pool cleaners —the kind that bounce around like a confused Roomba, making more noise than progress. I always found myself babysitting them, constantly checking if they were stuck or if they’d just decided to take a nap halfway through. It was frustrating, and for a while, I just went back to manual cleaning out of pure disbelief that a machine could do the job better.

Then a friend—someone I trust because she’s as picky about tech as I am—invited me over. Her pool was spotless. Like, magazine-photo-shoot spotless. And when I asked her how on earth she kept it that way, she just pointed to this sleek little robot gliding quietly beneath the surface. “It’s the Beatbot,” she said. “Changed everything.”

I ordered mine that night.

The first time I dropped the AquaSense 2 into the pool, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But right away, I noticed how deliberate it seemed. It wasn’t just bumbling around—it moved with a kind of confidence, like it actually understood the shape and size of my pool.

And that’s the thing. This isn’t just a vacuum with wheels. There’s real intelligence behind it. It scans, learns, and remembers. The first cycle took a bit longer, as if it was figuring out the lay of the land (or water, I guess). But from the second clean onward, it was smooth sailing. It knew where to go, how long to stay, and how to reach the stubborn spots that other cleaners would just ignore.

I’m not saying I talked to it or anything (okay, maybe once), but I started looking at it less like a gadget and more like a silent little helper who just gets it.

Before Beatbot, weekends were a weird mix of relaxing and resenting. I’d go out to enjoy the pool, then notice some leaves or grit and think, “Well, I’ll just clean it real quick.” Two hours later, sunburned and sweaty, the moment was gone.

Now? I swim when I want. I invite friends over without secretly stressing about the pool’s condition. I don’t run through a last-minute cleaning panic. The robot handles everything. And it doesn’t complain. Doesn’t forget. Doesn’t get distracted scrolling through Instagram like I might.

It sounds silly, but it's changed how I use my time. And I didn’t realize how much I needed that mental shift until I got it.

Here’s the part I didn’t expect: because the pool always looks clean now, I started paying more attention to the space around it. I added some lights. A couple of outdoor speakers. Even swapped out the old patio furniture for something comfier. Suddenly, the whole backyard feels like a destination again—somewhere I actually want to spend time, not just something I manage.

The cleaner didn’t just improve my pool; it sparked a full-blown home glow-up. It became a kind of catalyst. That little robot at the bottom of the pool? It’s the unsung hero of my backyard renaissance.

One of my current indulgences is to get a cup of coffee in the morning, sit on the edge of the pool, and watch the Beatbot do its thing. It travels at this leisurely, intentional pace, as if it’s meditating as it labors. It actually feels sort of soothing to watch, like pictures of a koi fish or one of those videos with kinetic sand you’ll find online. Except it’s doing something.It’s not flashy. 

It’s not dramatic. But it’s reliable. And honestly, in a world full of overhyped tech that breaks after a month, that means a lot.

I own smart speakers, a robot vacuum, a high-end coffee machine—you name it. But none of them have had as big of an impact on my daily life as this AI robotic pool cleaner . It just works. It makes things easier without asking anything of me in return. And that kind of quiet competence? It’s rare.

Every time I see it at the bottom of the pool, gracefully doing its job, I smile. Not just because the water is crystal clear (though it always is), but because it reminds me how good it feels when tech actually helps.

So yeah, I guess you could say I’m a fan. Not just of Beatbot, but of what it’s given me back—time, peace of mind, and the simple joy of floating under the sun without a care in the world.
