Our Pool Cleaner Review Panel says:
The Aquabot Turbo T2 remains in the top 5 pool cleaners reviewed in 2010, taking the silver medal. The technology of the T2 continues to impress and perform. It cleans any pool regardless of shape, size or texture, without having to maintain it or help it along during cleaning. The Turbo T2 comes with a 4 year pro-rated manufacturer’s warranty and a toll-free technical assistance line with actual helpful people to talk to. Aqua Products, has been around for 25 years. It's notable that the company continues to stay committed to research and development and so remain at the cutting edge of pool cleaning technology.
The first feature that I would like to weigh in on is the unique functionality and structure of the T2. All Aquabots are engineered using the best plastics in the world, which come from Israel, and this particular unit weighs less than 20 lbs. The T-series Aquabots use an improved brush design and drive-train which proves to be much more durable and adaptable to different pool surfaces, unlike other manufacturer’s generic brush designs. The Turbo T2 uses a quad-brush design along with a G-Tooth drive track system which enables the unit to deliver incredible balance and dexterity in situations where obstacle evasion or hard climbs are necessary like pool steps, main drain filters, and side ladders. The quad-brush design also cuts down on usual “wear and tear” many other types of pool cleaners experience by transferring friction between all 4 brushes which equates to less resistance on the machine and a longer life expectancy overall.
The second feature I would like to highlight is the cleaning speed and efficiency of this machine. The Aquabot Turbo T2 proves to be the fastest residential Aquabot (non-remote) cleaner for cleaning an entire pool and takes the cake when compared to any other Dolphin, Polaris or Kreepy-Krauley cleaner on the market. It is rated to clean a pool up to 50’ and filter 5000 gallons of water in 1 hour. This makes for an efficient machine, especially when you do not have to rely on your filtration system to be filtering the water while you’re using the cleaner. With hiring a pool service to clean your pool regularly, you’ll easily spend over $100 a month, as the T2 will clean your pool more efficiently for 5 cents every time it cleans your entire pool. That is a remarkable cost difference.
Another great thing about the Turbo T2 is a key element in its cleaning technology called power washing jets. These jets sit on the bottom of the aquabot and are designed to lift the dirt and other bacteria off of the surface and out of corners while the brushes and vacuum help move it along the filtration system while cleaning the smallest areas in your pool with comfort and ease. With that key feature, it makes for a great cleaning approach designed to provide the most thorough cleaning option leaving nowhere in your pool untouched.
Simplicity is the key behind Aquabot functionality and usability. You simply take the unit out of the box, plug in the transformer box to a regular outlet, plug your aquabot cord into the box and drop the unit in the water and it’s ready to start cleaning. The days of old and clunky cleaners that relied on your vacuum system are over with the Aquabot. I don’t think they could have designed an easier way to clean your pool. The instruction manual is written in clear English and makes it very dummy-proof when getting started and the only maintenance that we found to be needed is cleaning out the filter bag which surprisingly is durable and hold almost 20 lbs of debris!
Conclusion: We gave the Aquabot Turbo T2 our top rating based on a combination of performance, durability, design and functionality. Priced underneath the Aquabot remote-control units (Aquabot TRC, T4RC) and other simpler models on the market today, this cleaner does an outstanding job of thoroughly cleaning a pool in record time, saving you energy and money, and is also backed by a legitimate warranty. This is why it has won our top approval rating for in-ground pool cleaners. If you’re considering the purchase of a pool cleaner, stop and take a glance at the T2, especially if you want to live worry-free about the cleaning of your pool.
