We canceled our $4,000 pool service after trying this powerful robot pool cleaner
Our house came with a pool. While my three kids were ecstatic about this, I immediately felt overwhelmed at the thought of maintenance. My husband always had a pool growing up, but his parents usually took care of the labor. Because we knew nothing that first year with the pool, I hired a pool service to take care of the pool; from opening and closing to everything in between, I didn't have to do anything. While it was nice, the pool service was incredibly expensive. I knew there had to be a better way. Enter the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra. This year, we opened the pool late, and in my rush, I yanked the cover off solo. Without my husband's help, I winced as sticks, pinecones and soggy leaves tumbled into the water. It was a mess. Thankfully, I had just received the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, the company's most advanced cordless robot. With our pool service on hold for another week, I figured this was the perfect moment to see what it could really do. We replaced our pricey pool service with the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra. It cleaned better, ran longer and made maintenance totally hands-free. We have a backyard filled with trees and the robot easily picked up the numerous leaves in the pool. It was then we knew that this robot was a keeper, and after just two weeks with the AquaSense 2 Ultra, we canceled our service entirely (a savings of over $4,000!). With cordless AI pathfinding, surface parking and five-in-one cleaning, from the floor to floating debris, this sleek little robot quickly became our go-to for pool maintenance. It quietly handled the mess nature made. The AquaSense 2 Ultra handled nearly every aspect of maintenance, from floor cleaning to surface skimming to waterline scrubbing. It even uses an eco-friendly clarifying agent made from recycled crab shells to keep water crystal clear. Our pool looked professionally cleaned, and I didn't lift a finger (well, except to open the app). Easy set-up: The box was so big and the packaging was so overwhelming that I put off the set up. However, once I finally opened it, I was pleasantly surprised by just how quick it was to set up the app and get the machine running. Truly hands-free cleaning: The AquaSense 2 Ultra cleans floors, walls, the waterline and even the surface, all while filtering and clarifying the water with its built-in ClearWater™ system. It's basically five devices in one. Smart navigation + obstacle detectionEquipped with 27 onboard sensors and a HybridSense™ AI system, the robot maps your pool, avoids obstacles and adapts its path in real-time. Even with a bunch of my kids' diving toys scattered around, it powered through efficiently with minimal overlap or missed spots. User-friendly recovery: When complete or running on a low battery, it floats to the edge. This was a total game-changer because we our old vacuum, I always had to literally get in the pool to retrieve the robot if it wasn't near the side. Long runtime: With up to 10 hours of surface cleaning and 5 hours of deep cleaning on a single charge, the Ultra can tackle even large or debris-heavy pools. Works in above ground pool, too: I wasn't sure if the Ultra would work in an above ground pool and planned on reviewing it just for an in-ground pool, but it worked beautifully in an above ground pool, too! Our neighbors with a huge above-ground pool, were impressed when I let them use the bot. Water clarification built-in: One unexpected perk was how the water looked noticeably clearer. I'm talking sparkling. That's thanks to the robot's ability to circulate and clarify using a safe, biodegradable agent, something no vacuum we've used before could do. App control and voice alerts: The app lets you control direction, view cleaning routes, and schedule cleanings. And real-time voice updates tell you when the cleaning is done or the battery is low, great when I'm not poolside. App connectivity issues: Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi control can be flaky underwater. I lost connection several times and the inability to operate features like Park Mode once submerged was tricky. We are on an acre of land and the pool is way in the backyard, so that could be part of the issue. It's on the heavy side: Although I go to the gym and consider myself pretty strong, I can barely lift this machine. I have to ask my husband to take it out of the pool and walk it to the charger in the garage. Any time I do it myself, I have to use a hand truck. The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra is best suited for pool owners who want near-total automation with minimal effort. It's an ideal choice for families with large, debris-heavy, or uniquely shaped pools, and for anyone tired of dealing with tangled cords, manual skimming or constant upkeep. If you're looking for crystal-clear water without the daily hassle, the Ultra delivers. For those who've dreamed of a truly hands-free pool maintenance routine, this robot absolutely lives up to the hype. Our pool has never looked better, and that includes the times when we had professionals servicing it weekly. The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra has replaced nearly every step of maintenance with quiet, reliable automation. It's become one of those devices I now can't imagine summer without. When I empty the filter basket, I'm still amazed at what it captures: leaves, bugs, sunscreen residue, pine needles, all gone, with zero manual skimming. It is so satisfying. If you're serious about pool care but tired of recurring costs or daily upkeep, this robot is a game-changer. Yes, the upfront investment is steep, but when I compare it to a full season of service fees, the Ultra pays for itself fast.

Ford: A Timeless Journey of Innovation, Strength, and Legacy
Few automotive brands carry the weight of history and innovation quite like Ford. It's more than just a company—it's a global icon, a symbol of progress, and a trusted name woven into the fabric of modern society. From the roaring engines of classic muscle cars to the silent hum of next-gen electric vehicles, Ford represents a legacy of freedom, reliability, and bold vision. For over a century, Ford has stood as a pioneer of both industry and imagination. Whether you're cruising down a coastal highway or hauling heavy loads across rugged terrain, Ford drives dreams forward—generation after generation. In 1903, a visionary named Henry Ford changed the course of transportation forever. He didn't just build cars—he built a movement. Ford believed that every individual, not just the wealthy, deserved access to mobility. This dream gave birth to the Model T, the car that put the world on wheels. What truly set Ford apart was the introduction of the moving assembly line in 1913. This groundbreaking innovation reduced manufacturing time, lowered costs, and allowed Ford to pay workers fair wages. It wasn't just a business decision—it was a social revolution. In many ways, Ford helped shape the modern middle class. What began in a modest Detroit workshop has grown into a global powerhouse. Today, Ford operates in more than 100 countries, with production plants, design studios, and dealerships around the globe. Each region sees its piece of the Ford experience—from compact cars in Asia to heavy-duty trucks in the Americas. But despite its global presence, Ford maintains its core identity: durability, innovation, and customer trust. That's why you'll see a Ford at a dusty construction site in Texas, a rally course in Kenya, or a city street in London—proving that Ford is truly built for every road, every driver. Ford's legacy is one of constant reinvention. While honoring its heritage, Ford has always had one foot in the future. Recent years have seen an incredible wave of technological innovation: Ford Co-Pilot360™ : A suite of advanced driver-assist features like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping systems—all designed to keep drivers safer and more confident behind the wheel. : A suite of advanced driver-assist features like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping systems—all designed to keep drivers safer and more confident behind the wheel.

The automotive world is shifting, and Ford is leading the charge—literally. With a multi-billion-dollar investment in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, Ford is committed to a cleaner, brighter, and more efficient future.

E-Transit Van: Designed for commercial use, this EV delivers zero-emissions transport without sacrificing payload or functionality. Ford is more than ready for tomorrow—it's building it today. If there's one phrase that perfectly defines Ford's spirit, it's 'Built Ford Tough.' Ford's lineup of trucks—especially the iconic F-Series—has been trusted by hard-working individuals for generations. The Ford F-150, in particular, is the best-selling vehicle in the United States for over 40 years. It's not just popular; it's legendary. With exceptional towing capacity, military-grade aluminum alloy construction, hybrid powertrain options, and rugged styling, it's built for those who demand power, performance, and perseverance. Ford understands that authentic leadership means protecting the world we share. That's why sustainability is a core focus: Committed to carbon neutrality by 2050 Manufacturing plants powered by renewable energy Use of recycled and sustainable materials in new vehicle production in new vehicle production Innovation in battery technology and EV charging infrastructure Ford isn't just adapting to environmental responsibility—it's setting the standard. For millions, owning a Ford is more than transportation—it's a relationship. It's the car that taught your teenager to drive, the truck that hauled your first home, the Mustang that turned heads, or the van that took your family on summer road trips. Ford vehicles are in the photos of your memories, in the heart of your journeys, and in the conversations passed down from one generation to the next. This emotional bond is what makes Ford timeless. From Steve McQueen's 1968 Mustang in Bullitt to Will Smith's futuristic Ford GT in I, Robot , Ford has become a pop culture icon. Songs, movies, video games—you'll find Ford roaring across them all. That's because Ford is more than a car—it's a character, a symbol, and a source of inspiration. With over a century of legacy, innovation, and trust, Ford remains a brand like no other. It's a company that stays true to its roots while courageously reimagining the future. Whether you're a die-hard Mustang enthusiast, a rugged F-150 driver, or a first-time EV owner, Ford welcomes you with open arms—and an open road. Because with Ford, the drive never ends.
