How to choose
Filter size for leaves
Leaves need a filter that catches large debris and fine dirt. The Wybot C2 pairs a 10μm ultra-fine filter with a 180μm primary filter, and the PoolMr pairs a 180μm mesh with a dense cotton sponge. The BRINBO C1 uses dual filtration for large particles and micro dust, and the zebary uses a 3L basket with a 180μm fine mesh filter. Compare the filter type and the basket size against the leaves in your pool, and check how the filter is cleaned.
Runtime and pool size
Runtime and coverage decide whether one charge finishes the pool. The PoolMr runs 120 minutes and is rated for up to 1614 sq ft by the maker, the Hinice runs 150 minutes and is rated for up to 2153 sq ft by the maker, and the BRINBO C1 runs 180 minutes in Eco mode and is rated for up to 1615 sq ft by the maker. The zebary runs 180 minutes and is rated for up to 2200 sq ft by the maker. Compare the runtime and the coverage figure against your pool's size before choosing.
Walls, parking and upkeep
Wall cleaning matters when leaves collect at the waterline. The Wybot C2 and the BRINBO C1 clean walls and the waterline, while the PoolMr cleans edges and corners with a boosted suction mode near the wall. The Wybot C2 parks on low battery, the PoolMr parks at the pool edge when the battery runs low, and the zebary parks near the pool wall when the battery runs low or the task finishes. Check the parking behavior before choosing.
