Dimensions, drive and power
The robot measures 43 × 40 × 21.5 cm and weighs 12 kg. Its size and weight are worth considering when carrying and storing it.
The BOT U8 uses four brushless motors and has a stated power rating of up to 110 W. A system called Necklace Drive moves the robot over the surfaces being cleaned. Debris collects in a 6-litre container, whose capacity is relevant when cleaning a larger area.
Underwater operation and wall cleaning
The device has an IPX8 rating and a stated operating depth of up to 5 metres. Its maximum wall-cleaning angle is 90°, so it is designed to clean vertical pool walls as well. Waterline mode focuses on the area around the water’s surface.
Before choosing the robot, compare the pool’s dimensions and depth with the device’s stated limits. The IPX8 rating does not itself specify an allowable depth; 5 metres is a separate specification for this model.
Battery and area coverage
A 5,100 mAh lithium battery provides up to 120 minutes of runtime per charge. Stated coverage is up to 200 m² in a single cleaning session. Charging takes 4 to 5 hours, which is worth allowing for when planning the next cycle. Runtime and coverage are maximum figures, not guarantees of the same result every time.
Four cleaning modes and controls
The EVERCROSS BOT U8 offers four modes:
- Floor – cleans the pool floor.
- Wall – cleans pool walls.
- Waterline – cleans the area around the water’s surface.
- Automatic – the robot independently analyses the area and optimises its cleaning path.
Modes are controlled using a physical button on the robot. An app or remote control is not needed for normal operation.
