What we track, and when we last checked

We list 65 robotic pool cleaners and 41 robot litter boxes. Of those, 64 pool cleaners and 34 litter boxes have been checked against CPSC records and manufacturer safety notices and are confirmed to be under no active recall, as of 14 September 2026.

No model currently listed on this site is subject to an active recall. We do not list the Aiper Seagull Pro, the Wybot Osprey 700 Max or the Wybot S1 — the three products named in the recalls above.

These counts are read from our database when the page is requested, so they cannot drift out of step with the listings. Every robot page we have checked carries a short line recording the check and its date.

If you own a recalled unit

  • Stop using it, and stop charging it.
  • Do not attempt to repair the battery or open the unit yourself.
  • Check the serial number on the label against the recall notice — for the Wybot recall, only listed serial numbers are in scope.
  • Contact the manufacturer to arrange the replacement they are offering.

Lithium-ion batteries in cordless pool robots

Both recalls concern the battery, and both cover cordless models. That is where the risk sits: a corded cleaner draws power from the pool pump or a transformer and has no cell to fail. Two recalls across a category of dozens of models is not evidence that cordless cleaners are unsafe, and we are not going to suggest otherwise. It does mean the battery is the part worth handling correctly.

  • Charge and store the unit exactly as the manufacturer instructs, using the charger it was supplied with.
  • Charge on a hard, non-combustible surface, and not unattended overnight.
  • Inspect the housing and battery compartment for swelling, deformation, discolouration or a smell of anything hot. Stop using the unit and contact the manufacturer if you find any of it.
  • Let the unit dry and reach room temperature before charging after a clean.
  • Store it out of direct sun and away from freezing temperatures over winter.

Since the risk sits with the battery, our cordless pool cleaner listings are the place to compare published battery runtime and charge times across the models we track.

How this page is maintained

Recall status is checked by hand against CPSC records and manufacturer safety notices, and the date of the last check is stored per model. Only an official CPSC recall or a manufacturer safety notice will ever produce a warning on a robot page. Press reports, forum threads and review-site commentary do not, however widely repeated.
