The Sora 30 robot pool cleaner uses a proprietary power adapter and offers three operational modes for cleaning floors, walls, and waterlines. It's capable of handling organic and synthetic debris, with an average coverage rate of 95 percent.
During testing, the device showed no issues with heavier debris days and performed reasonably well on steps and platforms. However, it struggled in a single sharp corner area near the pool's steps, where debris was pushed aside and not effectively collected.
The Sora 30 is rated to run in water as shallow as 8 inches and does not feature artificial intelligence or a camera for detecting debris. It relies on its physical design to clean the pool floor and walls.
While it may not be perfect, the Sora 30 is a capable cleaner that can handle most pool cleaning tasks with ease. Its performance in shallow water and ability to collect organic and synthetic debris make it a suitable option for many pool owners.
