Beatbot Sora 70 Pre-Order: The Cordless Pool Robot That Cleans Everything Your Current One Skips

ARTICLE – Most pool robots are honest about what they can’t do. They’ll scrub the floor, maybe climb a wall, and leave the waterline and tanning shelf for you to handle by hand. Beatbot built the Sora 70 specifically to close those gaps, and the spec sheet is hard to argue with.

The early bird window is open now through March 5, and the first 200 orders are entered to win a full refund.

We’ve been covering Beatbot for a while now. The AquaSense 2 Pro earned strong reviews, and Google’s AI Overview is currently citing it as the best overall cordless pool robot available. The Sora 70 isn’t trying to replace that. It’s targeting pool owners who want serious coverage at a less flagship price, and from what we can see, Beatbot is delivering the hardware to back up that pitch.

What Makes the Sora 70 Different

The headline feature is JetPulse Water Surface Cleaning. Twin jets actively pull floating debris toward the suction inlet rather than waiting for it to drift in. Pollen, insects, leaves, sunscreen film: the surface stuff that usually requires a separate skimmer basket gets handled during the same cleaning cycle as the floor and walls. That’s genuinely useful if you live somewhere with heavy tree coverage or deal with pollen season.

Coverage extends to five distinct zones: floor, walls, waterline, water surface, and shallow platforms as low as 8 inches deep. Those tanning ledges and entry steps that most robots skip entirely? The Sora 70 gets there. It’s one of the few cordless robots that actually addresses the whole pool rather than most of it.

Suction sits at 6,800 GPH. That’s enough to pull fine sand, whole leaves, and algae in a single pass without the robot losing momentum. The centered pump placement distributes weight evenly, which matters for wall-climbing stability across the 45 to 90 degree range.

The Retrieval Problem, Solved

One of the quiet frustrations with pool robots is getting them out of the water. Reaching into the deep end, pulling up a soaked, heavy machine, trying not to soak yourself in the process. Beatbot designed around that with Smart Surface Parking.

When the cleaning cycle finishes, four internal floating chambers draw in air and expel water, bringing the robot up to the surface automatically. The SmartDrain system then releases the remaining internal water before you pick it up. You’re lifting a drained unit, not a waterlogged one. Anyone who’s spent a summer wrestling a conventional pool robot out of the deep end will immediately understand why this matters.

Runtime and Capacity

The 10,000 mAh battery covers up to 5 hours of floor cleaning or 7 hours of surface cleaning. For most residential pools, that’s a full cycle on a single charge without interruption. The 6-liter debris tank holds roughly 800 leaves, so mid-cycle emptying is rarely necessary unless your pool is surrounded by heavy foliage and you’re running long sessions back to back.

An optional 3-micron ultra-fine filter is available for finer particle capture. Worth considering during pollen season or if your pool tends to collect fine sediment.

App and Connectivity

Five cleaning modes, remote navigation, one-tap retrieval, and a customizable quick button round out the software side. Connectivity runs on Wi-Fi 2.4G and 5G with a 130-foot range, plus Bluetooth at 65 feet. Works offline too, so you’re not stuck if your router goes down during a cleaning cycle.

Saltwater pools are supported below 5,000 PPM. Infinity pools, stairs, irregular shapes: all covered. The IP68 waterproof rating and 3-year full replacement warranty (no repair policy) are consistent with what Beatbot offered on the AquaSense line.

The Early Bird Deal

Pre-orders are open through March 5, 2026, with an MSRP of $1,499. Use code BEATBOTSORA at checkout on Beatbot.com for 10% off. The first 200 orders are automatically entered into a drawing for a full refund, with two winners announced on March 13. Every early bird order includes a free dust-proof cover ($50 value), and additional savings are applied automatically at checkout. Units ship in early March.

It’s a sensible early bird structure. The refund drawing gives the first buyers a real upside without the deal feeling manufactured, and the cover inclusion is a practical add rather than a throwaway accessory. The 30-day money-back guarantee and 3-year full replacement warranty reduce the usual pre-order risk.

Should You Pre-Order?

If your pool has a tanning shelf, entry steps, or surface debris that your current robot leaves behind, the Sora 70 is worth a serious look. The five-zone coverage and JetPulse surface cleaning combination is genuinely uncommon in the cordless category, and Beatbot’s track record with the AquaSense line gives the company credibility here.

The early bird window closes March 5. If you’ve been waiting for a cordless robot that actually covers the whole pool, this is the one to watch.
