Wybot M2 Vision pool cleaning robot

The WYBOT M2 Vision is a powerful cordless robotic pool cleaner for cleaning large swimming pools. The robot cleans the floor, walls, and waterline and features a built-in camera with intelligent debris detection. In the special Vision mode, it searches for visible debris on the pool floor and navigates directly toward leaves, pebbles, sand piles, and other observable dirt.

With three motors, a power of 120 watts, and a suction capacity of 15 m³ per hour, the M2 Vision is among the more powerful cordless pool robots from WYBOT. The large 10,000 mAh lithium-ion battery offers a maximum runtime of approximately five hours in a suitable energy-saving program.

The dual filter system consists of a spacious five-liter filter basket with a mesh size of 180 microns and an additional 25-micron fine filter. This allows the robot to collect both leaves and insects as well as finer sand and settled dirt.

Intelligent camera with Vision technology

There is a camera on the front of the WYBOT M2 Vision. This camera is used to recognize visible debris on the pool floor.

In the special Vision or debris-search mode, the robot scans the floor. When the camera detects a buildup of dirt, the robot can adjust its route and suction power and drive directly toward the perceived debris. This means it does not have to cover the entire floor in a fixed pattern during a targeted cleaning.

According to WYBOT, the robot can perform a targeted floor cleaning in debris-search mode in approximately 10 to 15 minutes. This is a quick search run for clearly visible debris. The stated time is not a guarantee that every pool floor will be completely and thoroughly cleaned within 15 minutes. A longer standard program may be required for a complete cleaning.

The camera function works best when:

• The pool water is clear

• The camera lens is clean

• There is sufficient light in the pool

• The debris contrasts clearly with the floor

• There is little floating debris in the water

Small, transparent, or low-contrast debris particles may be less easily recognized. Murky water, strong reflections, shadows, or deposits on the lens can also affect performance.

Self-learning cleaning

The Vision technology is combined with software that analyzes the observed pool environment. According to the manufacturer, the robot can adjust its movements and suction power based on the conditions in the pool.

The robot does not use the camera to store a permanent three-dimensional map of the pool. The system primarily supports the recognition of visible debris and route selection during the cleaning cycle.

New software versions can be installed via OTA updates. This allows WYBOT to further update features, settings, and navigation behavior.

Floor, walls, and waterline

The M2 Vision can clean different parts of the pool separately or in combination:

• Floor: for leaves, sand, hair, insects, and settled debris.

• Walls: the robot drives up suitable pool walls.

• Waterline: cleans the edge where dirt and deposits collect.

• Wall followed by floor: starts with the walls and then switches to floor cleaning.

• Full pool: combines floor, wall, and waterline cleaning.

• Turbo floor: intensive floor cleaning with extra emphasis on suction power.

• Eco: more economical program for a longer runtime.

• Vision floor: uses the camera for targeted searching of visible debris.

• Expert: offers additional settings for experienced users.

European product information mentions eight cleaning modes, while the selection list contains various overlapping zone and program settings. The exact menu structure may change due to app and firmware versions.

Navigation with multiple sensors

The WYBOT M2 Vision uses several sensors to support its movements:

• Camera: recognizes visible debris on the pool floor.

• Gyroscope: records movements and changes in direction.

• Infrared sensors: support the recognition of walls and obstacles.

• Depth sensor: helps the robot determine its position underwater.

Three movement patterns for the floor and three for the walls are available via the WYBOT app. This allows the cleaning behavior to be better aligned with the shape and layout of the pool.

Obstacles such as stairs, drains, sharp corners, and height differences can influence the route. The robot attempts to process these conditions, but manual follow-up may remain necessary around complex objects.

Three motors with 120 watts of power

The M2 Vision features three motors with a combined rated power of 120 watts. The system achieves a water flow rate of up to 15 m³ per hour.

The active brushes loosen debris and guide it toward the suction opening. The tracks provide grip on the floor and help the robot climb suitable walls.

With a travel speed of approximately 10 meters per minute and a long runtime, the M2 Vision is designed for large pools and extensive cleaning cycles.

The actual climbing capability depends on the pool finish, the slope angle, the shape of the transition between floor and wall, and the presence of algae or greasy deposits. Grip may decrease on very smooth walls.

Dual filtration with a five-liter capacity

The WYBOT M2 Vision uses a dual filter system:

1. A 180-micron filter basket for leaves, insects, hair, and coarser debris.

2. A cotton fine filter of approximately 25 microns for smaller debris particles.

According to the manufacturer, the filter basket has a capacity of approximately five liters. Due to this large capacity, the basket needs to be emptied less frequently during normal use than a smaller filter system.

The fine filter helps catch small sand particles and settled dust. In a pool with a lot of very fine debris, this filter layer may become saturated more quickly. A full or clogged filter limits water flow and reduces suction power.

The filter basket is accessible from the top. After each cleaning session, the basket and fine filter must be removed from the robot and rinsed with clean water.

Up to five hours of cordless cleaning

The M2 Vision has a 10,000 mAh lithium-ion battery with a rated voltage of 25.5 volts. According to the manufacturer, the robot can operate for a maximum of approximately five hours in a suitable Eco floor program.

The actual runtime depends on:

• The selected cleaning program

• The number of wall climbs

• The use of Turbo or Vision mode

• The amount of debris in the filters

• The water and ambient temperature

• The condition and age of the battery

A full charge takes about three hours according to the current European product page. Some manuals mention a charging time of approximately 3.5 hours. The robot must always be charged outside the pool, and the charging port must be completely dry.

Timer for multiple cleaning sessions

The available timer duration can be divided over several shorter cleaning cycles. The European product documentation mentions the following settings:

• 1 cycle of 180 minutes

• 2 cycles of 90 minutes

• 3 cycles of 60 minutes

• 4 cycles of 45 minutes

These settings are primarily intended for regular floor maintenance. The robot can use them to distribute its available energy over multiple cleaning moments.

Although the maximum battery life in Eco floor mode can be approximately five hours, the timer function uses a maximum of 180 minutes divided into one to four cycles. Therefore, runtime and adjustable timer time are not the same.

After the available battery capacity is exhausted, the robot must be removed from the pool, cleaned, and recharged.

Control via the WYBOT app

The M2 Vision is configured via the WYBOT app. Using the app, you can, among other things:

• Select the desired cleaning zone

• Activate the Vision debris-search mode

• Select a floor or wall route

• Choose Turbo, Eco, or Expert mode

• Set a timer program

• View battery status

• Adjust cleaning settings

• Install OTA software updates

The wireless connection works best when the robot is out of the water or close to the water surface. Bluetooth and other radio signals have limited range underwater.

The M2 Vision does not have a full-fledged live underwater remote control. Therefore, select the desired program before the robot is fully submerged.

Suitable for large pools

The long runtime, powerful motors, and five-liter filter basket make the M2 Vision suitable for large pools. Some official manuals state a maximum pool surface area of up to 400 m².

This is a technical maximum specification. The surface area that can actually be thoroughly cleaned during one cycle depends on:

• The shape of the pool

• The selected cleaning zone

• The depth of the pool

• The number of obstacles

• The degree of contamination

• The selected route pattern

• The cleaning mode used

According to the manufacturer, the robot is suitable for rectangular, round, oval, and free-form pools. It can be used on common pool surfaces such as liner, tiles, concrete, and polyester shells.

Automatic stop at the edge

When the cleaning cycle is complete or the battery is nearly empty, the robot drives to the edge of the pool. It can then be brought to an accessible spot using the included retrieval hook.

Afterward, use the handle to lift the robot out of the water. Hold it as vertically as possible so that the water can drain from the housing.

The retrieval hook is intended to pull the robot toward you. Do not lift the full weight by the hook, cable, or any other loose part for an extended period.

Difference between the M2 and M2 Vision

The WYBOT M2 Vision has a camera and a special debris-search mode. This allows it to recognize visible debris and approach it in a targeted manner. An M2 version without the Vision function follows its set navigation patterns without visual debris recognition.

The main reason to choose the Vision version is therefore the ability to quickly track down clearly visible debris on the floor.

Difference with the S2 Vision

The M2 Vision is larger and more powerful than the S2 Vision:

• The M2 Vision has a power of 120 watts; the S2 Vision, 90 watts.

• The M2 Vision has a suction capacity of 15 m³/h; the S2 Vision, 14 m³/h.

• The M2 Vision has a 10,000 mAh battery; the S2 Vision, 7,800 mAh.

• The M2 Vision operates for a maximum of about five hours; the S2 Vision for about 3.5 hours.

• The M2 Vision has a filter basket of about five liters.

• The M2 Vision weighs about 11 kg; the S2 Vision about 8.5 kg.

The M2 Vision is therefore particularly interesting for large pools and heavy-duty cleaning. The S2 Vision is lighter and easier to handle.

Conclusion

The WYBOT M2 Vision is a powerful cordless pool robot for large pools and intensive maintenance. The combination of a camera with debris recognition, three motors, 120 watts of power, 15 m³/h suction capacity, and a 10,000 mAh battery provides extensive cleaning capabilities.

The Vision mode is especially suitable for quickly tracking down clearly visible debris on the floor. For a complete cleaning, the robot can also treat the floor, walls, and waterline. The dual filtration and five-liter filter basket make it suitable for both coarser debris and finer sand and dust.
