How the iRobot Verro Pool-Cleaning Robots Work

• Fine filter bag

  The fine filter bag that comes with the Verro 600 captures dirt, hair, dust, algae, bacteria, polle,n and debris as tiny as 2 microns. How small is 2 microns? By comparison, the diameter of an average human hair is 70 microns. Talcum powder is 10 microns. And red blood cells are 8 microns. The iRobot Verro removes all that and more from your pool water.

• Filtration

  The iRobot Verro 600 circulates 4,225 gallons of water per hour through its filtration system; this captures all the particles in your pool, as well as improving distribution of chemicals and water temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the iRobot Verro 300 and the iRobot Verro 600? The iRobot Verro 300 and the iRobot Verro 600 were designed to work on all pool surfaces. However, the iRobot Verro 300 is ideal for use in gunite or concrete pools, while the Verro 600 is ideal for all other pool surfaces (such as tile, vinyl, and fiberglass). Also, the iRobot Verro 300 utilizes a powerful hydro-jet system that `power washes' pool surfaces, deep cleaning pores, cracks, and seams while the iRobot Verro 600 uses sturdy PVA roller brushes to scrub the algae, bacteria, and dirt from your pool's floor and walls. Why should I buy a pool-cleaning robot instead of an automatic pool cleaner? Pool cleaning robots offer some important benefits that automatic pool cleaners do not. The question most pool owners ask is, "How long does it take to clean?" iRobot's Verro pool-cleaning robots clean your pool from floor to waterline and everywhere in between in about an hour. Most automatic pool cleaners take over six hours to get the job--thereby interfering with pool usage time and requiring more energy to do so. Also, Verro pool-cleaning robots filter up to 5000 gallons of water per hour, removing debris as small as 2 microns from your family's pool water and reducing run-time of your pool's filtration system. iRobot's Verro cleaners also aid in the circulation of pool chemicals and water temperature. Finally, pool-cleaning robots deep clean the bacteria, algae, dirt, and grime from the bottom and walls of your pool while many automatic pool cleaners do not agitate debris or go up the walls of your pool. Therefore, iRobot's Verros are faster, more efficient, reduce run-time of your pool's filtration system, use less energy, and provide cleaner water for your friends and family. Which iRobot Verro pool-cleaning robot is right for me? Both iRobot Verro pool-cleaning robots are ideal for anyone who wants a clean, healthy swimming pool with more free time to enjoy it. If your pool is gunite or concrete, the iRobot Verro 300 is the perfect choice. If your pool surface is vinyl, fiberglass, or tile, the PVA brushes of the iRobot Verro 600 will scrub the floor and walls of the pool clean.

Customer Reviews

Our Pool Roomba
After using this all summer, I am very happy with this robot. It does a great job at cleaning our 16'x32' vinyl in-ground pool, even with the solar cover on. I've only found a few minor drawbacks. Yes, if you don't snap the bag in just right, it can pop out while cleaning, making it have less suction. If the filter is left on while vacuuming, the robot can't clean around the return jets. And you must keep that bag clean when you are done vacuuming.

We store it in A Rubbermaid Patio Storage Bench, Dark Platinum #3764 and it just fits. The bench looks great and we can keep the robot by the pool.

Sometimes faster isn't always better
I have a fiberglass pool and the robot does a nice job of cleaning the bottom and sides. It does not do well at negotiating the 3 steps, (gets 1/2 way up the first step and comes back down). Cleaning the included pouch style filter is a royal PIA with muck getting stuck in the corners of the pouch. A little cheap and plasticy. Otherwise a valiant effort.

Great technology, poor build quality
I bought this directly from irobot and ran it every 3 or 4 days for about 3 weeks before returning it to irobot. The technology is great and when the filter bag didn't fall out, the pool was incredibly clean - it really does sparkle, I was able to cut back on the number of hours the filter ran, and I noticed that I had to add less chemicals. The amount of slime that collects in the filter bag from an apparently clean pool is proof of how much it's picking up. My pool never looked so nice and I only had to drop it in, go have dinner, come back and put it away.

Unfortunately, the build quality from irobot is poor. The tabs that hold the filter bag in place are too loose and the filter often falls out when you lift the robot out of the water - dumping everything back in. The plastic protective cage between the filter and the motor has the same problem.

After some web research, I discovered that irobot licenses this technology from Aquabot. I returned this to irobot, and purchased an Aquabot T2 which I found for about the same price after shopping around. The T2 is nearly the same robot, but appears to have a much better build quality and a few enhancements over the irobot model (for instance the scrubbing pads don't soak up water like the irobot's causing it to smell funky between cleanings). In addition, my local pool store is an Aquabot repair shop, so I won't be shipping it out if something goes wrong and I need it fixed under warranty.

I really wanted to like irobot's version - I like some of their other products and this simply looked friendlier (we dubbed it scrubby). Unfortunately, for this cost, I wanted three or more years of trouble-free use out of it, and I didn't see that happening.
