Independent reviews
Independent reviewers ran Clear UV for weeks and months. Here’s what stood out.
The short version
One reviewer compared Clear UV with more than 40 pool robots. Another ran it almost every day for three months. Both came back to the same fundamentals: strong flow, fine filtration, confident wall cleaning, and useful control.
The Pool Nerd
Pool Nerd ApprovedFor more than five years, Justin D. has tested robotic pool cleaners in a backyard pool. Clear UV went through weeks of repeat cycles, alongside the experience of testing more than 40 competing robots.
His review covered suction, filtration, wall grip, the built-in UV-C hardware, and the Clear app through an ordinary week of pool care.
Clear UV was named Best Newcomer in The Pool Nerd’s 2026 roundup.
What stood out
Cleaning power
Justin found the suction among the strongest he had felt in a residential robot. The UltraBin repeatedly came back loaded with leaves, pollen, and fine silt without the cleaning power fading away.
1-micron filtration
The fine filter media caught the particulate that makes water look hazy even after the larger debris is gone.
UV-C, onboard
Justin called out the placement of the UV-C hardware inside Clear UV and its controls in the app.
App + automation
The app stayed practical in the moments that mattered: steering to a fresh pile of debris, checking water temperature, and setting a recurring schedule for the week ahead.
Final verdict
“It’s a beast, it’s a joy to own, and it’s earned its spot as my pick for the most exciting pool robot of the year.”
Terra Hills
Terra Hills replaced a four-year-old pool robot with Clear UV and ran it nearly every day. That longer test made room for the unglamorous questions: Does it keep pulling through a full basket? Does fine dust come back? Does it still climb well week after week?
Terra Hills score
9.4/10
After three months of near-daily use in a backyard pool.
The review covered flow, fine filtration, wall cleaning, and the built-in UV-C light.
What held up
Even during heavy leaf drops, the bin came out full and the robot was still pulling. Oak leaves, pine needles, acorns, and pebbles all made it through a cycle.
The 1-micron UltraFilters captured the silt that a standard mesh basket used to return to the pool, leaving the water with a more polished look.
Terra Hills continued its normal pool-chemistry routine while using the onboard UV-C light.
After a full cycle
“My water had that polished look, and I saw less of the fine dust that used to settle on the bottom.”
The consensus
Different pools, different timelines, and independent verdicts. These are the details both reviewers kept coming back to.
8,500+ gallons per hour, with enough sustained flow to keep collecting as the bin fills.
UltraFilters caught the silt and pollen that usually pass through a standard robot basket.
Both reviewers called out the robot’s grip on walls and its cleaning along the waterline.
