What drives the price
- What it cleans. Floor-only is cheapest. Floor + walls + waterline is the mid band. Surface skimming and water clarification sit at the top.
- Rated pool size and runtime. Under-$1,000 robots often rate 110–300 m² and 2–5 hours; confirm against your pool's length × width.
- Cordless vs corded. Cordless units dominate new mid-range buying; corded Dolphins remain common via pool shops with local service.
- Warranty and local support. Two years is common; some Beatbot Sora/AquaSense models state three years on Beatbot Australia.
Running costs
Charging a cordless pool robot uses far less electricity than heating a spa, but we do not invent annual kWh figures without a manufacturer number. Consumables that brands publish include fine filter baskets — Beatbot lists an ultra-fine 3 µm filter basket for Sora models from $99 on its accessories section (checked 6 November 2026). Leaf-heavy pools fill baskets faster; rinse after each run. For maintenance steps see pool robot maintenance.
Black Friday timing
Official Black Friday 2026 is 27 November. We only list deal prices we open on a brand or retailer page ourselves — see Black Friday robot deals. Several mid-range robots were already discounted on 6 Nov 2026; a current sale can be a fair buy if you need the robot for early summer.

Common questions
How much does a robotic pool cleaner cost in Australia?
On 6 November 2026, budget floor-focused robots started around $399 (Hy-Clor i1 at Bunnings). Mid cordless wall-climbers sat near $900–$1,500 (for example Aiper Scuba S1 at $899.99 on Aiper Store AU). Premium cordless and flagship Maytronics Dolphin models ran from about $2,000 to $4,000.
Are robotic pool cleaners under $1,000 any good?
Several cordless models under $1,000 now claim floor, walls and waterline cleaning. See our under-$1,000 guide for current picks; expect smaller rated pool sizes and fewer camera or skimming features than premium robots.
What ongoing costs should I budget for?
Electricity for charging is usually modest. Filter baskets and fine filters wear; brands sell replacements (for example Beatbot lists a 3 µm ultra-fine filter basket for Sora models from $99 on Beatbot Australia). Exact annual figures vary by model and leaf load — only publish a running-cost number when the brand lists parts prices.
Should I wait for Black Friday to buy a pool robot?
Black Friday 2026 is 27 November. Pool robot prices already move often. Check our Black Friday robot deals page for verified prices only; do not assume a deeper cut later.
