RICHMOND, Texas, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beatbot, a global leader in smart pool robotics, today announced the market availability of the Beatbot Sora 70, its new award-winning robotic pool cleaner that delivers full, automated pool cleaning, covering the water surface, walls, waterline, floor, and shallow platforms, in a single device. After earning five media awards at CES 2026, the Beatbot Sora 70 is now available for pool owners to purchase in two color options, Lavender Purple and Deep Blue.
"Beatbot Sora 70 was built around a simple idea: one streamlined product that actually cleans the entire pool," said Jimmy Hu, VP at Beatbot. "From surface skimming to walls, floors, and the waterline, the Beatbot Sora 70 handles everything automatically. It's the only robot in the segment that truly does it all without requiring extra tools or manual steps."
Complete Pool Coverage in One System
The Sora 70 features Beatbot's JetPulse™ twin-jet surface skimming technology, designed to actively guide floating debris toward the suction inlet rather than pushing it aside during movement. This is paired with true four-zone cleaning, enabling the robot to clean:
- The water surface
- Pool walls
- The waterline
- The pool floor
In addition, Sora 70 cleans shallow platforms and tanning ledges in water as shallow as 8 inches (20 cm), treating these areas as standard cleaning zones rather than special cases.
Navigation and coverage are supported by SonicSense™ Obstacle Avoidance, which uses ultrasonic sensing to detect obstacles, platform heights, slopes, and transitions, allowing the robot to adapt to different pool designs and layouts.
Designed for Hands-Off Operation
Beatbot Sora 70 is built for minimal user intervention. It delivers up to 5 hours of floor cleaning on a single charge, features a 6-liter debris capacity to reduce mid-cycle emptying, and automatically parks itself at the pool edge when a cleaning cycle is complete or battery levels are low, enabling easy retrieval.
Pricing and Availability
The Beatbot Sora 70 is available for purchase beginning February 13 on the official Beatbot website, with an MSRP of $1,499.

Award-Winning Beatbot Sora 70 Robotic Pool Cleaner Now Available for Purchase
KUCHING, Malaysia, Aug. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sarawak's approach to creating lasting impact through business events has once again earned international recognition, with the destination named Best Sustainability Initiative (Destination) at the Meetings & Conventions Asia Stella Awards 2026. The win marks Sarawak's second in the category, after 2024, reinforcing legacy impact as an important part of its approach to sustainable destination development.
The win was driven by Sarawak's legacy impact approach, which demonstrates how business events can be intentionally designed to create meaningful long-term outcomes beyond the event itself. By focusing on economic development, social progress, and environmental responsibility, the approach connects business events with Sarawak's Post COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
This year's recognition carries added significance as the award was determined through public nominations and voting. Public support for Sarawak reflects the growing relevance of legacy impact beyond the business events industry, showing that the value of creating meaningful, lasting outcomes is resonating with the wider community.
"Winning this award for the second time demonstrates the importance of sustainability and legacy to Sarawak's business events strategy and wider development," said The Honourable Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak. "Sustainability must go beyond the environment to include social and economic progress, while legacy ensures that the value created through business events can continue long after an event has ended."
Since its first M&C Asia Stella Award victory in 2024, Sarawak has continued to advance its legacy agenda through programmes and platforms focused on education, measurement and industry participation. The focus is increasingly on embedding legacy throughout the event journey and strengthening the industry's ability to translate intent into meaningful outcomes.
"This recognition reflects the collective effort behind Sarawak's legacy journey," said Datu Hii Chang Kee, Deputy State Secretary (Operation) and Chairman of BESarawak. "What began with advocacy is gaining greater participation across the industry. Legacy is ultimately about shaping the future together, with government, industry, organisers and communities each playing a role in creating shared and meaningful outcomes."
"This award signals that legacy impact is gaining greater relevance, not only for Sarawak but across the Asia Pacific business events industry," said Jason Tan Chin Foo, Chief Executive Officer of BESarawak. "Our next phase is to drive greater adoption across the ecosystem, ensuring that legacy outcomes are consistently planned, measured and demonstrated, while strengthening the industry's capability to deliver them. That is how we turn recognition into lasting value for Sarawak."
The M&C Asia Best Sustainability Initiative (Destination) Award 2026 marks another milestone in Sarawak's legacy journey, strengthening its commitment to advancing legacy impact as a driver of sustainable destination development.
