Aldi's robotic pool cleaner: is the $499 Pool Set Titan 300 worth it?
Aldi is selling a robotic pool cleaner for the first time: a $499 cordless robot in its Special Buys from Saturday 24 October 2026, while stocks last. Aldi's own description identifies it as the Pool Set Titan 300, from a Sydney pool-equipment company. Here's what it is, what the specs say, how it stacks up against similar robots, and who it suits. Checked 26 October 2026.

Quick answer
For a typical suburban pool up to 150 m², yes, it's good value on paper, if your local Aldi still has one. At $499 it's $100 under Pool Set's own sale price ($599, regular $699). Pool Set rates it for pools up to 150 m² and up to 150 minutes per charge, and says it cleans the floor, walls and waterline and climbs steps. Pool Set gives it a two-year warranty and supports Aldi buyers directly from Sydney. The catches: we found no independent hands-on review yet, neither Aldi nor Pool Set mentions surface parking (it comes with a retrieval hook), and Aldi's page says the filter basket holds 2.4 L where Pool Set says 4.2 L. If Aldi has sold out, the closest alternatives are the WYBOT B1 ($499.99 on Amazon AU) or, for floor-only cleaning, the Hy-Clor i1 ($399 at Bunnings).
What Aldi is selling

Aldi lists it as a no-name “Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner”, but its product description names the Pool Set Titan 300. Pool Set says it's designed for both above-ground and in-ground pools. The basket figure is the one discrepancy we found: Pool Set's product page, its Amazon AU listing and the launch coverage all say 4.2 L, while Aldi's page says 2.4 L. We think Aldi's figure is a typo, but check the box in store if basket size matters to you (it does if you get a lot of leaves).
Checked 26 October 2026 against Aldi's product page and Pool Set's Titan 300 page, both linked under Sources.
Is $499 a good price?
Yes, compared with what Pool Set charges itself. On 26 October 2026 Pool Set's own store had the Titan 300 at $599 on sale, with a regular price of $699. Its Amazon AU listing showed $805.99 but was marked currently unavailable. Better Homes and Gardens reported a Pool Set RRP of $799 on 16 October; Pool Set's page showed $699 as the regular price when we checked. Either way, Aldi's $499 is the lowest price we found, by at least $100.
Aldi only sells Special Buys like this while stocks last, and Better Homes and Gardens expected stock to be limited. Aldi's product page has a store availability check, so use it before you drive over. Aldi sells it in stores; we also saw search results for unrelated “clearance” websites offering cordless pool robots for $99.99, so treat any online offer that looks too cheap with suspicion.
How it compares with other robots around $500
| Robot | Price (AUD) | Rated size, runtime | Cleans | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pool Set Titan 300 | $499 (Aldi) | 150 m², 150 min | Floor, walls, waterline, steps | 2 years (Pool Set) |
| WYBOT B1 | $499.99 (Amazon AU) | 110 m², 120 min | Floor and walls | 1 year (listing) |
| Hy-Clor i1 | $399 (Bunnings) | Up to 70,000 L, 2 hours | Floor only | Not checked |
| WYBOT C1 | $635.99 (Amazon AU) | 150 m², 150 min | Floor, walls, waterline, stairs | 2 years (listing) |
| Hy-Clor i4 | $829 (Bunnings) | Up to 80,000 L, 2 hours | Floor, walls, waterline | Not checked |
Prices checked 26 October 2026 on Amazon AU, Bunnings and Aldi. Hy-Clor rates its robots by pool volume rather than area.
On paper the Titan 300 matches the WYBOT C1's rated pool size and runtime for $137 less, and beats the WYBOT B1 on both for the same money. What it doesn't have yet is a track record. We found launch coverage (EFTM, Better Homes and Gardens, Digital Reviews Network) but no independent hands-on review, and it's too new to have many owner ratings. The WYBOT C1, by contrast, had 295 ratings averaging 4.5 stars on Amazon AU. If that history matters more to you than $137, see our best robotic pool cleaners under $1,000.
Who should buy it, and who shouldn't
- Good fit: an in-ground or hard-sided above-ground pool up to about 150 m², where you want the walls and waterline cleaned and don't want to spend $800 or more.
- Good fit: you're replacing a suction cleaner and want debris caught in the robot's own basket instead of your skimmer box. Our robotic vs suction cleaner guide explains the difference.
- Look elsewhere: pools bigger than 150 m², or very leafy pools where a bigger basket or a surface skimmer would save you trips. See our best pool robots for leaves and robots for large pools.
- Look elsewhere: soft-sided or inflatable pools. Pool Set doesn't say the Titan 300 suits them; our above-ground pool robot guide covers what to check.
- Look elsewhere: if you want a robot that parks itself at the surface, maps the pool with a camera, or has years of owner reviews behind it.
Warranty, parts and support
Pool Set gives the Titan 300 a two-year warranty, and its product page has a section for Aldi buyers that says Pool Set looks after them: phone (1300 001 466), email, live chat and text support, Monday to Friday 7:30am to 4pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm, Sydney time. Pool Set sells spare parts including a replacement filter basket ($49) and a float pack ($19), and lists batteries and tracks too. Being able to buy parts locally matters on a cordless robot: the battery is the part most likely to wear out.
Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply on top of the warranty, and they're against the seller, which here is Aldi. Keep your receipt.
Our verdict
For a typical suburban pool, the Titan 300 at $499 looks like the best-value wall-climbing robot we found on sale in Australia, with the caveat that nobody independent has published a hands-on test yet. Its specs match robots that cost $137 or more extra, and the local warranty and parts support from Pool Set make it a safer bet than an unknown brand from a marketplace seller. If your pool is big or buried in gum leaves, spend more. If you can't find one at Aldi, don't pay Pool Set's $599 without first comparing the other robots under $1,000.

Common questions
Who makes Aldi's robotic pool cleaner?
Aldi's product description says it's the Pool Set Titan 300. Pool Set is a pool-equipment company based in Sydney, which also sells the Titan 300 through its own store.
How much is the Aldi robotic pool cleaner?
$499, in Aldi stores from Saturday 24 October 2026 while stocks last. Pool Set's own store had it at $599 on sale (regular price $699) on 26 October 2026.
Does the Aldi pool robot clean walls?
Yes. Aldi and Pool Set both say it cleans the floor, walls and waterline and climbs steps. Its app has floor-only and wall-only modes too.
What warranty does the Aldi pool cleaner have?
Pool Set says two years, with support from its team in Sydney for Aldi buyers. Australian Consumer Law rights also apply against Aldi as the seller.
Is the Aldi pool robot good for gum leaves?
Pool Set says it sucks up sticks and long leaves into a 4.2 L basket (Aldi's page says 2.4 L). That's smaller than the 5 L basket on the Beatbot Sora 10, so empty it after every run in heavy leaf drop, or see our guide to pool robots for leaves.
