CES NEWS 2026 – Beatbot, a global leader in smart pool robotics, today announced the Beatbot Sora 70, the first model in the Beatbot Sora Series, a product line built to deliver dependable everyday pool care through strong hardware performance and all-round value. The Sora 70 isn’t chasing the flagship market. It’s targeting pool owners who want thorough cleaning without the complexity or premium price tag that typically comes with surface-skimming robots. That’s a smart play, and the spec sheet suggests Beatbot has the engineering to back it up.
“Beatbot Sora 70 is designed for pool owners who want serious performance with zero fuss,” said Siler Wang, the CEO and founder of Beatbot. “It reaches every part of the pool, including the water surface and shallow ledges that most robots can’t handle. The Beatbot Sora Series expands our lineup with a focus on dependable, streamlined pool cleaning, delivering strong performance without unnecessary complexity.” It’s a confident pitch, and the hardware specs suggest Beatbot isn’t overselling.
Advanced Engineering for Complete Pool Coverage
The Beatbot Sora 70 introduces JetPulse Water Surface Cleaning, a dual-flow jet system that uses converging and outward-extending water jets to actively guide floating debris toward the suction inlet. This dramatically improves skimming performance and enables the Beatbot Sora 70 to remove insects, pollen, and surface debris before they sink. You’ll notice it immediately: the surface stays cleaner because the robot isn’t waiting for debris to settle before dealing with it.
The robot’s HydroBalance Structure features a center-mounted pump supported by Beatbot’s self-developed high-efficiency water pump, generating 6,800 GPH of suction power. That’s strong enough to lift fine sand, whole leaves, and stubborn algae in a single pass. The centered pump placement isn’t just about raw power. It distributes weight evenly, allowing the robot to move more agilely across different pool zones without getting stuck or losing traction on inclines.
As a result, the Sora 70 can clean the entire pool in a single cycle, including shallow platforms and ledges as low as 8 inches. Those tanning shelves and entry steps that most robots either skip entirely or struggle to navigate? The Sora 70 handles them without fuss. It’s a welcome change from manually scrubbing the spots your expensive robot keeps ignoring.
For extended cleaning sessions, Beatbot equipped the Sora 70 with an oversized 6-liter debris tank capable of holding up to 800 leaves, roughly twice the capacity of most cleaners in this class. That extra volume means fewer interruptions to empty the basket mid-cycle, which matters if you’re running the robot while you’re away or asleep. The optional 3-micron ultra-fine filter provides enhanced particle capture for crystal-clear water, a worthwhile upgrade if you’re dealing with pollen season or fine sediment.

Easy Retrieval and Extended Runtime
The Beatbot Sora 70 features Smart Surface Parking, which Beatbot calls an industry-first floating system inspired by submarine buoyancy engineering. A set of four internal floating chambers adjusts buoyancy by drawing in air and expelling water, allowing the robot to rise smoothly to the surface once cleaning is complete. It’s a clever approach that solves one of the most annoying parts of pool robot ownership: fishing a heavy, water-logged machine out of the deep end.
When the robot reaches the top, the SmartDrain system releases remaining internal water, making the unit lighter and easier to retrieve without strain or mess. The difference in heft is noticeable: you’re lifting a drained shell rather than a waterlogged brick. If you’ve ever wrestled a dripping, heavy pool robot onto your deck, you’ll appreciate the reduced weight immediately. It’s a small quality of life improvement that makes a real difference over a season of regular cleaning.
Powering the system is a 10,000mAh battery that provides up to 5 hours of floor cleaning or 7 hours of water-surface cleaning, enabling uninterrupted operation for pools up to 3,230 square feet on a single charge. That’s enough runtime for most residential pools to complete a full cleaning cycle without interruption, and the surface-cleaning mode’s extended runtime makes sense given the lighter mechanical demands of skimming compared to scrubbing pool floors.
Pricing and Availability
The Beatbot Sora 70 will be available in Spring 2026 on Beatbot.com and Amazon.com. The Sora Series represents Beatbot’s push into the mid-range market, and the Sora 70’s combination of surface cleaning, shallow-area coverage, and easy retrieval addresses real pain points that budget robots typically ignore. If the price lands where the “value-focused” positioning suggests, this could be one of the more compelling pool robots to watch when it ships this spring.
