Pool Vacuum Cleaners | Compare Models for Above & In-Ground Pools

Every model below is a cordless robotic pool cleaner built for one job: the floor of a flat-bottom pool. As a cordless pool cleaner it carries its own battery, sweeps leaves, sand and silt into a debris tank, and lifts out when the charge ends — no hose to prime, no cable across the deck. The range splits into two platforms, one rated to 80 m² and one to 120 m², so the first decision is the pool, not the price.

Read the model names in two parts. ST-BP1 is the entry unit for flat-bottom above-ground pools. The ST-SP1 series covers the same pools at a rated 80 m², with 100–120 minutes per charge. The ST-SP2 series takes both above-ground and in-ground flat-bottom pools up to 120 m², with a 0.1 mm filter mesh and 110–180 minutes. The X suffix adds the triple-action head — brushing, rinsing and suction in the same pass — which is what a pool cleaner robot needs on fine silt that would otherwise be pushed around instead of picked up.

One limit applies to every model: they are floor cleaners. Walls, the waterline and recessed steps need a different class of machine, and a pool with a real slope down into a deep end is outside what these units are rated for, so check the shape of your pool before ordering. Buying in volume, or supplying pool businesses under your own label? Bulk pricing, OEM and private-label terms sit on the wholesale pool vacuum cleaner supply page.

How to compare the robotic pool cleaners in this category

Every product page publishes its own parameter set, and that page is the authority for that exact model. What follows is the line-up of cordless robotic pool cleaners read across, so you can see where one model ends and the next begins. Prices are unit prices; volume tiers are quoted separately. The grid above is always the current list for this category - this table carries only the models worth comparing side by side, so a retired model disappears from it while a new one shows up in the grid first.

Model Pools it is rated for Battery & runtime Debris handling Drive & cleaning action Best fit
ST-BP1 Flat-bottom above-ground 4500 mAh · 100–120 min · IPX8 Tool-free filter tank, front access Four driven wheels + dual brush motors · 18–24 m/min Entry SKU: the lowest-cost way to test a market before committing to a container.
ST-SP1 Flat-bottom above-ground, rated to 80 m² 4500 mAh · 100–120 min · IPX8 Large tool-free debris tank Four-wheel drive · wide bottom scrapers Volume stock for above-ground dealers: scrapers take sand and mud, not just leaves.
ST-SP1X Flat-bottom above-ground, rated to 80 m² 4500 mAh · 100–120 min · IPX8 Filter basket, rinses in seconds Four drive wheels · triple-action brush, rinse and suction Pools where fine silt keeps settling instead of sitting in a heap.
ST-SP2 Flat-bottom above-ground and in-ground, up to 120 m² 5200 mAh · 110–180 min · IPX8 body, IP68 motor 0.1 mm removable mesh + debris tray Dual brushes, dual suction ports · 6 mm obstacle crossing One SKU for mixed fleets, and the step up from the 80 m² platform.
ST-SP2X Flat-bottom above-ground and in-ground, up to 120 m² 5200 mAh · 110–180 min · IPX8 body, IP68 motor 0.1 mm removable mesh + debris tray Dual brushes, dual suction ports · 6 mm obstacle crossing Service routes on larger flat-bottom pools. Shares the published platform with ST-SP2 — ask us which SKU is allocated to your market.

Two things the table cannot tell you. First, every cordless pool cleaner here works the floor: none of them cleans walls or the waterline, so correct that expectation before the order, not after. Second, ST-SP2 and ST-SP2X share the published specification (battery, runtime, filter mesh, drive and obstacle crossing) — if your price list needs two distinct 120 m² tiers, tell us and we confirm the difference in writing. For volume tiers, OEM and private-label terms see the wholesale pool vacuum cleaner supply page; for the full decision framework read the pool vacuum cleaner buying guide.

Frequently asked questions about choosing a pool vacuum cleaner

Will these clean my pool if it has a slope, steps or a hopper?

No, and this is the first thing to check. Every model works a flat bottom: a flat-bottom above-ground pool, or a flat-bottom in-ground pool up to 120 m². A slope into a deep end, a hopper, a safety ledge or recessed steps keeps the cleaning head off the surface, and debris settles exactly where the unit cannot reach. Walls and the waterline are outside the job as well.

What do the model tiers actually add over each other?

Read the name in two parts. The series sets the pool: ST-BP1 and ST-SP1 are for flat-bottom above-ground pools, with ST-SP1 and ST-SP1X rated to 80 m²; ST-SP2 covers above-ground and in-ground flat-bottom pools up to 120 m². The X adds the triple-action head, meaning brushing, rinsing and suction in the same pass, which is what matters on fine silt that would otherwise be pushed around. So pick the series for your pool first, then decide whether you need the X head. ST-SP2 and ST-SP2X share one published platform, so treat them as one tier until we confirm the allocation for your market.

What will it actually pick up?

Leaves, sand, mud and sediment: that is what the drive system and the debris tank are for in this class of robotic pool cleaner. Fine silt is the harder case, because it lifts back into the water at the first movement, and that is where the triple-action head earns its price. Twigs, stones and toys belong in a skimmer or in your hand, not in the inlet.

Do I still need the pump, filter and chemicals if I run one of these?

Yes. A pool cleaner robot takes debris off the floor before it breaks down, which reduces the load on the filter and the chlorine that the organic matter would consume. It does not circulate the water, it does not filter it and it does not sanitise it. If the water turns cloudy even with a clean floor, the answer is chemistry and circulation, not more cleaning cycles.

Which model for a private pool versus a service route with several pools?

A private pool is the easy case: one machine, one cycle between uses, emptied and stored indoors over winter. A route is a different purchase, because it means several pools a day and often both floor types, which is why the 120 m² platform is the safer single-SKU choice even if only part of the route is in-ground. On a route, the parts handled daily are the ones that fail first: the debris basket and the brushes. Buy spares up front so a missing part never stops a day.

Cordless: what does that change in day-to-day use?

A cordless pool cleaner removes the two things that make pool cleaning a chore: a cable running across the deck, and a hose you have to prime. Drop the unit in, start it, lift it out when the cycle ends. Everything the machine does comes out of the battery, so runtime and battery care become routine: charge after use rather than leaving it flat, and run shorter cycles more often when the pool is loaded with leaves. The full picture is on the battery, runtime and IPX8 specifications.

What is the minimum order, and can I mix models in one order?

The minimum is not one number. It moves with the model and with the depth of customisation: ready stock, logo-branded runs and full private-label programmes each sit at a different threshold. Mixed-model orders are supported for qualified buyers, which lets you test several price points in one shipment. Current MOQ and volume tiers are published on the wholesale terms page and we confirm them in writing against your market and volume.

What lead time should I plan for a bulk order?

Stock dispatches from inventory. Logo and private-label runs are scheduled after artwork approval and deposit, because artwork preparation, carton printing and assembly sit between the two. Each layer of customisation adds a stage that can slip independently, so build contingency around the pool season. Current schedules are quoted on the OEM lead-time page.

What documents do I need for certification and battery shipping?

CE for the EU and EEA, FCC for the United States and RoHS on hazardous substances, confirmed against the exact model and configuration rather than the range as a whole. Bodies are rated IPX8 for continuous immersion, not a vague water-resistant claim, and the test documentation behind that rating belongs in your supplier file. Because these are lithium-ion units, battery transport paperwork is a separate requirement and has to reach your freight forwarder.
