Wybot - C2 ProVis Robot Pool Cleaner - Black

Overall, this is an excellent pool cleaning robot that will definitely help to keep your entire pool nice and clean. It'll not only pick up all the larger debris such as leaves, pebbles, and bugs, but can also clean the fine particles out of your water with the ultra-fine cartridge on turbo floor clean mode.  It also scrubs the floor, walls, and waterline and has many different modes to allow you to target exactly what you want. PROS - Cordless Operation - Cleans Entire Pool on a Charge - Can Help Clean Water via ultra-fine filter - Easy to Setup and Use - Large, Easy to clean Basket Captures Everything CONS - Ultra-Fine Filtering ONLY Available in One Mode - AI Pro Vision Might be more Gimicky than Useful - Not really "smart" as it moves in random pattern This is actually my second WYBOT pool robot vacuum, as I have had the Osprey 700 Max for several years.  I was very happy with it, but wanted a cordless pool robot to replace my other branded corded robot that had the ultra-fine filter to really clean the water as it's running and not just pick up debris off the floor.  The C2Pro Vision seemed to have that feature as well as a powerful motor/suction and the cool AI Pro Vision Camera.   The first thing you need to know is that the Ultra-Fine filter seems to work GREAT for really filtering the water - it gets all the fine particles that would be left in your pool with a standard pool robot that doesn't do the ultra-fine filtering. However, what wasn't clear to me until I receive the robot and what is somewhat disappointing is that you can ONLY use the ultra-fine filter for ONE specific mode - Turbo Floor Cleaning.  I assume this is because the power needed for the robot to work with the ultra-fine filter in place would be too much for all the other operations.  My previous corded robot that the C2Pro replaced had a large ultra-fine basket that stayed in for all operations so that anytime the robot was cleaning anything, the water was getting cleaned and filtered as well.  With the C2Pro you won't get that when cleaning the whole pool and/or walls and waterlines. You have to remove the ultra-fine filter for any operation other than Turbo Floor Cleaning. AND the instructions suggest that if you have a lot of debris on the floor, you should first clean that without the ultra-fine filter THEN run the Turbo Floor Cleaning with it.  This limitation on the ultra-fine filtering is the reason for my 4-Star rating instead of 5. The robot works great in every other way - I just wish it could ultra-fine filter the entire time it's running regardless of the mode and I feel a little bit misled by the product description which brags a lot about the ultra-fine filter without clearly also mentioning the limitation. That being said, in Turbo Floor Cleaning mode, the ultra-fine filter does an excellent job of cleaning the water and capturing the super fine particles as it should so I am still happy with it and guess this is just a limitation of cordless battery operated pool robots versus my old corded one that had unlimited power. In all other aspects, I love this robot.  It charges fairly quickly - takes a few hours to fully charge. Then I can run it and clean my entire medium sized pool including walls, waterlines, and floors in one session.  I absolutely love the cordless aspect of it.  I will never own another corded robot. Not having to fuss with cords is great!  It was super easy to connect to the robot in the Wybot app which then allows you to select any of the several modes for specific cleaning - you can choose only floors, only walls, only waterlines, or a couple of different combinations of a few or all of these, including the before-mentioned turbo floor mode with the ultra-fine filter.  As I have only had the pool robot for a week and we haven't had a storm or anything that deposits a lot of large debris on the floor, I haven't been able to really test out the AI Vision Mode yet.  But since I am religious about running my pool robots regularly (isn't that the point of having a pool robot) to just keep my pool constantly clean, I don't know that I will ever use that since it's really only for targeting and pickup up visual debris.  I guess it could be useful if you cleaned your pool on Friday and were having a party Saturday afternoon and Friday night there were high winds hat deposited a lot of debris into your pool, you could run it Saturday morning and have it target the debris. But in my mind, you could also just have it clean the whole floor and have the same end result... The debris capturing basket on this robot is excellent! It's super easy to remove and clean and drop back into place. And the Ultra-Fine Filter is also easy to put in and take out and to rinse off after using.  It does an excellent job of picking up all the tiny rocks, dirt, sand, leaves, insects, and other weird random things that somehow end up on my pool floor.  I do wish the robot were a little "smarter" - it doesn't map out your pool or anything, but cleans in one of several "patterns" and with a freeform swimming pool, those patterns tend to get thrown off a bit.  So, like many other similar robots, if you run it for a full cleaning, some spots might get cleaned once and others might get cleaned ten times.  I would trade the AI Vision "Debris Pickup" for AI Vision Smart Mapping any day.  I'm sure we'll see those in the coming years.  But for now, I can't complain because this robot is able to with a full charge, fully clean my pool with no problem - it may not do it in the smartest or most efficient way possible, but it gets the job done without me having to worry about it and that's the most important thing.  If you're looking for a great pool robot, this is definitely one I would recommend. WYBOT has been building these for quite some time now and is one of the leaders in the industry. My older Osprey 700 is still working great after several years. I was happy to upgrade to the C2Pro Vision with the added option for ultra-fine filtering (in spite of the limitations), the excellent debris basket design, the fast charging, the bonus AI Vision Debris Pickup (if I ever find a good reason to use it), and the fact that this pool robot really can do it all.  It'll keep your walls, floors, and waterline scrubbed; it'll pick up all the debris using one of it's cleaning patterns; it can super clean your water from time to time with the ultra-fine filter; and you really can't beat the convenience of cordless operation. It's a great replacement for my much older corded pool vacuum and I'm very glad to have it. 

The Wybot C2 pro is a top of the line cleaner in my mind. After charging for the first time, I turned it on and put it in my pool. I purposely hadn’t cleaned it for a week to test the unit out. After about 30 seconds upon entering the water the C2 took off and started climbing the walls, utilizing the dual action rubber brushes, it thoroughly cleaned my walls. Then proceeded to bounce up and down on the tile above the water line. It cleaned the tile very well. This is great for the people who have issues with a calcium ring around the waterline of their pool. The top jet that is utilized to keep the C2 anchored on the floor and walls is extremely strong. Even when it is in the deep end (8 feet) the top of the water above it visibly bubbles or churns. Once the walls were cleaned it worked on the floor in a pattern which cleaned it above my expectations. The electric eye is great for targeting debris to remove. The unit also comes with a filter for those with very fine sand or small debris that is too small for the basket to capture. The C2 utilizes the same type technology that robot vacuums use. It maps the pool to ensure total cleaning When the unit was finished cleaning, it parked itself on a wall for easy removal with the included hook. The basket was easy to remove and clean, it is good to spray it down to clean off residual pool water. You can choose the cleaning mode you desire from just walls to walls and floor to eco mode and fast clean. This can be done via the app or the unit controls. The only little issue I had with it was steps I have a freeform pool with multiple steps. It encounter issues trying to navigate the steps on the curved areas of my pool. It took a bit but eventually overcame the obsticle. I would highly recommend this to any and all pool owners as this unit cleans just as good if not better than higher priced ones.

Last year I got the Wybot C1 pro to clean the bottom and walls of my tile pool. I had talked to tech support at Wybot before making my purchase, as there was info about pool robots having a hard time climbing tile pools because they are so smooth. They assured me that their pool robots had enough water pressure to work properly. And they shipped additional "float" material with every robot if there was an issue. They were right, I had no problems. And I no longer had to scrub my walls or skim the leaves off the bottom of my pool. You see I have a 60'x60' ficus tree with about 250K leaves on it. They periodically fall and inevitably end up in the pool. When it's not windy I can run the floor robot about twice a week and all is good. When it's windy it's more like once a day. But the leaf bin would become very full. I was so happy with the results, I looked into the next model up, the C2 Pro Vis. Its leaf container is larger, and it has a camera to search out debris, rather than just stumbling upon it. I have to say that it works extremely well. When I get a big enough storm I'll know for sure, but it easily holds 50% more leaves. It is much easier to open, and it can run longer (not really a problem as my pool is fairly small). The C2 Pro is a little taller, and its suction is a bit stronger. They both have micro filtration (which works amazing well at catching fine debris). The robot both have heavy suction through the bottom, and a strong flow of water out the top (which pushes down on the robot on the floor, and out on the walls). The C2 Pro Vision AI robot has more modes of operation; they both did a great job of preventing any water line issues. Neither did a great job on my square steps out of the pool. Both use the same Wybot app, which really only works when the robot is not in use to set up the mode you want the robot to operate in. Bottom only, Walls only, or both. And then the pattern you want it to use on the bottom and walls. And the C2 can do extra work on the waterline or go on a dirt hunting mission. The latter is quite interesting to watch, as it finds leaves one after another not moving in any given pattern. With my pool having say 100 leaves on the bottom it will find the largest concentration first, then the next largest etc, until it starts picking up single leaves. It moves pretty quickly and effectively suck​s up each leaf. Keep in mind it's also filtering the water throught it filter as it goes. It has a turbo mode that includes a removable, cleanable HEPA filter. I used this in the winter when my pool's water is VERY clean, and it picked up a few traces of algae. I expect in the summer this is a bigger deal. I'm happy to have upgraded, the C2 Pro Vision is a step up from the C1 pro, but the C1 pro did a great job on its own. But given the number of leaves I have a problem with, the C2 is the better choice for me. I do have a robotic solar skipper that helps keep the surface clear. The two together come close to giving me a low maintenance pool. Still have to backwash eccentric, but pool robots rule!

Verdict: The Wybot C2 ProVis is a capable cordless robot that cleans floors, walls, and the waterline. It cleans decently, especially if you have a smaller pool. It struggles a bit with full coverage in larger pools. Like most other robots, it seems that it cleans through repetition of random patterns rather than following intelligent mapping and following patterns. Background. I have a 40’ x 20’ inground Gunite pool. We’ve had this pool for eight years now, maintaining it ourselves, cleaning by hand, then with a connected pool robot, and finally progressing to a rechargeable robot in 2025 (from a different brand). This Wybot is our second rechargeable robot. Setup. As soon as I unpacked the remote, I put it to charge overnight (it arrived at 52%). In the morning, I set it up on the Wybot app. The app easily found the robot but could not connect to WiFi for some reason. I could still connect through Bluetooth to conduct the update. If it turns out that your robot is not climbing the walls of your pool, the box includes an additional floatation device to assist the robot in climbing different kinds of walls. App. The app offers a lot of cleaning options: floor / wall / wall then floor / standard full pool / water line / turbo floor / eco floor / dirt hunting, with the option of choosing cleaning time (clean twice, three times, four times, with days in between), choosing floor patterns, and “extra-dirty pool clean.” This is quite extensive, but must be decided before the robot goes into the pool because signal does not travel through water. Of note, you do not need the app to use the robot; you can press the on button, and then press it again a few times to toggle between bottom, walls, or whole pool. Performance. The robot starts cleaning within ~20 seconds of entering the water. It picks up leaves, dirt, bugs, and other debris fairly well as it drives around. However, the patterns don’t quite align with what I expected of smart navigation. Even when selecting patterns, the robot doesn’t quite replicate them. Because we have a fairly large pool, the 1 hour 45 min battery life is barely enough to clean the floor. My pool usually ends up about 90% clean (floor only), which is fine for me because the pool looks great and that’s without me having to vacuum by hand. The robot will clean walls and water line, and this works fairly well for my pool. It can sort of get up one step, but not the second step, which another robot can do. Again, this is not such a big deal for us since we prioritize cleaning the bottom first. Cleaning the basket is fairly easy, albeit still a bit time-consuming (retrieve the robot, get the basket, dump the contents, then rinse the basket and the filter, and then repeat). The robot features an AI camera that is industry-leading and supposedly gets better during the first month, however I only tested this robot for four days and have not been particularly impressed with AI features. Things I love: - Rechargeable robot so no cables needed - Lots of cleaning modes - It’s smaller and lighter than my other robot vacuum from another brand - Strong cap to protect the charging cable - Includes a retrieval hook - 2-year warranty - Two different filters; effective against algae Things I don’t love: - I wish the battery life was longer. The robot is smaller than other cordless ones I have seen and used, so I think a bit more size to pack more battery would have been a good idea. A longer battery life would make this robot more suitable for larger pools - At this price, a cheap plastic base with wireless charging would be nice to quickly set the robot to charge without worrying about a wet connector - The handle is a bit awkward to grab; it’s quite close to the bottom brush. I wish it was a bit more prominent and more towards the top for better pulling out of the pool with a hook or by hand - I could not get the robot to connect to WiFi through the app. It’s a bit strange since the Wybot skimmer (same brand) easily connected to WiFi with the same app. Overall, this a great little pool robot vacuum. If you have a larger pool like us, this robot will be limited by battery life, but it still does a decent job if you break up the tasks, getting to 90% clean on the floor only mode, and then using it again for the wall after a recharge. The price is reasonable, given many similar robots at higher price points.

I got the Wybot C2Pro and unlike their skimmer, this comes with an AC power adapter. It arrived with 53% battery. Adding it to the app is simple. There was already a firmware update and is easy to install and apply. It comes with a filter and hook. One big warning I almost missed is that “signal can not transmit through the water, so keep the robot out of the pool when presetting”. The filter installation is easy. Pretty much just drop it in. There are 7 different modes. I used standard mode and it does a good job. I can see the areas cleaned as it runs over it. The instructions say not to use the ultra fine filter in most modes except for turbo floor mode only. And if the floor is very filthy or soiled, do not use it. I pulled it out of the pool and set the mode to wall then floor. Again, make sure these are done outside the water. It is climbing up along the wall then drops, adjust itself, then moves to the next area and climbs again... rinse and repeat. After a couple of days of use, I started to notice some condensation getting in near the LED lights. It does not seem to affect the operation but I was concerned. It did go away. I will continue to monitor and take photos just in case I need to open a support ticket. Other than that, it’s a cool robot to clean the bottom of the pool and the walls. I am glad that it came with a charging cable. I tried to use it with Wybot’s skimmer. It does not come with a charging cable. It primarily charges with the solar panels. But it looks like it’s not compatible.
