GAC's Innovative Safety and High-Efficiency Powertrain Win Global Recognition

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.
