Australia's Lightest Robotic Pool Cleaner. Charged in 4 Hours.
Two Hydro models, built in Australia, backed for up to 3 years. We'll help you pick the right one for your pool below.
What Makes These Cleaners Different
6.5kg vs 9–12kg for Aiper, Zodiac and Maytronics rivals. Lift it out one-handed.
Most cordless competitors take 5 hours. Aiper's flagship takes 12. Yours is back in the pool by lunch.
Front and rear brushes for a deeper clean. Most cordless rivals only scrub from one end — the Hydro hits both.
Same warranty the premium Zodiac and Maytronics models carry, without the premium price tag.
