The Beatbot Sora 70 robotic pool cleaner is officially available for purchase starting February 13, following its debut and award recognition at CES 2026. Priced at $1,499, the new model from Beatbot arrives in two color options, Lavender Purple and Deep Blue, and aims to simplify pool maintenance with a single device designed to clean nearly every zone of a residential pool.
Beatbot positions the Sora 70 as an all-in-one solution that handles surface skimming, wall and floor scrubbing, waterline cleaning, and even shallow platforms without requiring add-ons or manual adjustments.
Full-Pool Cleaning in One Device
At the center of the Sora 70’s approach is Beatbot’s JetPulse twin-jet surface skimming system. Rather than gliding past floating debris, the twin-jet setup actively guides leaves and other surface matter toward the suction inlet. The goal is simple: collect debris instead of nudging it around like a polite but ineffective pool guest.
The Sora 70 provides four-zone cleaning coverage:
- Water surface
- Pool walls
- Waterline
- Pool floor
It is designed to treat shallow platforms and tanning ledges as standard cleaning zones, operating in water depths as low as 8 inches (20 cm). For pool owners with built-in sun shelves or multi-level layouts, that added flexibility may reduce the need for spot cleaning.
Navigation is powered by SonicSense obstacle avoidance, an ultrasonic sensing system that detects obstacles, slopes, transitions, and platform heights. This allows the robot to adjust its path depending on the pool’s shape and structure.
Built for Minimal Intervention
The Sora 70 is engineered to run largely on its own. It delivers up to five hours of floor cleaning in ECO mode and up to seven hours of surface cleaning per charge. A 10,000 mAh battery supports these runtimes.
The unit features a 6-liter debris basket, designed to minimize mid-cycle emptying. When a cleaning cycle ends or the battery runs low, the robot automatically parks itself at the pool’s edge for easier retrieval. At 22.9 pounds, it remains portable enough for routine handling without feeling flimsy.
With an ingress protection rating of IP68, the Sora 70 is fully waterproof for submerged operation. It is rated to cover pools up to 3,230 square feet, making it suitable for a wide range of residential installations.
