What features does it have?

The Aquabot X4 is a workhorse cleaner aimed at owners who want straightforward, reliable floor and wall cleaning in 2026. It handles everyday debris well and is genuinely plug-and-play — just be sure to weigh it against the premium options below. Here's how it stacks up.

Wall Climbing

Clean like a pro. With wall coverage, the Aquabot X4 can clean and scale your walls with precision and power. While Wall Climbing is a great feature, don't get this confused with the superior waterline cleaning feature.

What is Aquabot X4 missing?

Waterline Cleaning

Aquabot X4 does not included waterline cleaning. Not only is this an essential feature that you'll want when looking for a pool robot, but one you will likely need. Waterline cleaning enables the robot to climb and reach the dirtest part of your swimming pool. Without this feature, you'll still need to manually clean your waterline by hand with a brush to prevent any algae or scum that builds up. It is one feature that you'll need that is not included with the Aquabot X4.

Leaf Bag

With leaves being a common issue, it would be safe to assume most pool robots utilize a leaf bag. Well, no so fast. Nearly every robotic pool cleaner is missing a leaf bag, except the Dolphin Premier. If you have a lot of leaves, this is the best pool robot for leaves. Not to mention the Premier's 3 year warranty, Dual Commercial Motors, and Multi-Media™ make it one of the best models available.

Want premium filtration and power?

The X4 gets the job done, but it doesn't include NanoFilters or ProLine commercial-grade motors. For the finest filtration and the strongest cleaning — right up to the waterline — step up to a ProLine cleaner like the Dolphin Premier, or a Max-Series model.

What's included with the Aquabot X4?

The Aquabot X4 includes everything you'll need. Here is what is included with the unit:

Aquabot X4 Unit
60ft Cord with Anti-Tangle Swivel
Power Supply
Standard Filters
2 Year Warranty

How to set up the Aquabot X4

Simply plug and play. All robotic pool cleaners are ready to go right out of the box. No booster pump or assembly needed. The X4 has everything needed to get started in its box. It's that easy.

Comparing options? See the smaller Aquabot X2 review and the waterline-capable Aquabot REVA review, or for the strongest clean read the flagship Dolphin Premier review and Dolphin Sigma review.
