WYBOT C2 Vision AI Camera Cordless – Our Best AI-Navigation In-Depth Review

The WYBOT C2 Vision's claim to fame is its **AI Debris Detective system**. Unlike cleaners that rely solely on pre-programmed patterns or basic bump-and-turn sensors, the C2 uses a forward-facing AI camera to visually identify areas with higher concentrations of dirt, leaves, sand, or algae. This allows its "Dirt Hunting Mode" to dynamically prioritize these zones, leading to a more targeted and reportedly much faster clean where it's needed most. Beyond just seeing dirt, its intelligent path planning, supported by gyroscopic sensors and brushless motors, aims for systematic coverage of floors, walls, and the waterline in pools up to approximately 2,152 sq. ft. It offers multiple cleaning patterns and modes selectable via the WYBOT app, allowing users to tailor the approach, from a quick "Turbo" clean to an energy-saving "Eco Mode" that provides up to 180 minutes of runtime.

The C2 Vision employs a robust **dual-layer filtration system** designed to tackle a wide array of pool contaminants. This typically includes a standard 180μm mesh filter for capturing larger debris like leaves and twigs, complemented by a 10μm ultra-fine HEPA filter capable of trapping much smaller particles, including fine sand, dust, and algae spores. This dual approach is excellent for achieving a polished water clarity. The debris basket is generally reported to have a decent capacity (around 3L), minimizing the frequency of emptying during a cleaning cycle.

As a cordless unit, the WYBOT C2 Vision offers the inherent benefits of easy deployment and no cable management. It's powered by a **lithium-ion battery** (often around 5200mAh, though specs can vary slightly by revision) that provides up to 180 minutes of cleaning in its Eco Mode. Charging typically takes 3-3.5 hours via a wired adapter. The **AI Vision technology** is its core differentiator, working in tandem with its brushless motors and internal sensors to navigate and clean. The WYBOT App (usually Bluetooth connected) allows users to select from its various cleaning modes (up to 8 are often cited), set weekly cleaning schedules, and monitor the robot's status. However, a common note is that app control is for pre-setting or out-of-water adjustments; real-time underwater steering is generally not a feature.

The WYBOT C2 Vision is designed for straightforward operation. Being cordless, it's easy to place into and remove from the pool (though its weight, around 15-20 lbs, is a factor to consider). The app interface for mode selection and scheduling is generally reported as intuitive. Maintenance involves regular rinsing of the dual-filter components to ensure optimal performance and emptying the debris basket as needed. The **auto-parking feature**, which guides the robot to the pool edge at the end of its cycle, aids in retrieval.
