Does it climb up walls and steps?

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. The Aquabot and Aquabot Turbo are designed to climb. The Jr is primarily a bottom cleaner (where most of the dirt is) and in some pools it will climb a partial wall.

No. It tends to go half way up the wall and turn. It also misses a lot when the walls meet the bottom of the inground pool. And the angle there for me is less than 90 degrees. I am a little disappointed for the price.

Yes, I think it does. If I recall correctly (its been a while since I used mine) that it leveled up my Totodile from level 5 to level 25 with all of the walking that I do. Granted it doesn't do it right away, the more you walk the more it levels up.

Ours usually climbs more than half way up the wall before it turns and takes another direction. Sometimes I'm amazed that it gets as high as it does considering it's bulk.

No, the AquaBot does not clean or climb the walls of above ground pools. It does, however, do a great job cleaning the bottom of the pool in a relatively short period of time.

I do not know if this kind climbs because I did not buy a habitat with climbing attachments. Sorry!

Yes, it does an excellent job of climbing and cleaning all walls, even on my oddly shaped pool with built in stairs. It is much more thorough on the walls than my old Aquabot. It has no problems with main drains. It has never gotten stuck on a drain.

It is like any other cart. I put the cart in front and gently lower it one step at a time. In front going down and in back going up is the general rule of thumb. It is easier to use than the non stair climbing carts. As with anything I am sure it could be tweaked with improvements.

We did not encounter steps but I think it would as long as you were not loaded too heavy. I also think the effort to pull it up steps, if heavy, would be substantial.

It does but we don't like it at all.. it climbs the wall and there's not enough weight to keep it from sucking in air. You can't leave it and it doesn't do that good of job

Yes. It climbs up the side of the pool but does not stops about a foot before breaking the surface.

it goes up walls a little bit but not very high, and it does not climb stairs. I brush the stuff on the stairs and push it down to the pool which it will clean up then

I would say no if you have a climber. We used it before my son could walk to climb. If I used it now..my son is 18 months old.. Hed tear it to shreds!

yes they do, they are designed to climb the walls but you need to adjust the suction with the diverter valve.

Hi, Mr. Davies Thanks for your order!! Yes, the cleaner should climb the walls, depending on the proper suction and bottom/wall radius, of course. And it will climb steps, though this is less certain and depends on the configuration. If your previous random motion cleaner did these things, then the Voyager probably will as well. Dave

The first time I ran it it did not climb the walls. After about 4-5 times it was hitting the water lines. Now it partially comes out of the water and gets the tile, not quite sure how it does it. Only thing it does not get reliably are my steps, but my steps are steep, curved and not as wide as the Nautilus so I will give it a break on the steps.

It will go up partially on the walls, but usually not the entire way on the deep end of the pool. It will do steps though.
