What "cordless" changes

A cordless robot carries its own battery, so there's no cable to tangle or to trip over. You charge it between runs, either with a cable or on a dock. Runtime per charge ranges from 90 minutes on floor-only robots to 5 hours of floor cleaning on the Beatbot Sora and AquaSense 2 Ultra and the Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max.

Corded robots still make sense for long pools and for owners who don't want a battery to wear out. Read cordless vs corded.
