Our take
WYBOT B1
Tempting for the price, especially for smaller pools, but owner feedback is mixed enough that we would prioritise an easy return route. The strongest complaints concern weak pickup, getting stuck and the lightweight debris-trap design.
Some owners like the low price and simple cordless setup for small pools.
Other owners report getting stuck, weak scrubbing or suction, debris escaping the basket and concerns about durability and support.
Pools that need smart edge cleaning.
Pools outside its stated size, surface or cleaning-coverage limits.

What owners and reviewers say
A model-specific owner discussion raises concerns about weak pickup, debris escaping the basket and getting stuck. Early enthusiasm is present too, but it should not be mistaken for proven multi-season satisfaction.
What pleased a new buyer
One buyer chose the B1 as a relatively affordable partner for a separate surface skimmer in a smaller pool. Their first-day report also noted the inconvenience of fishing it out once its cleaning run ended. That is an initial impression, not long-term endorsement.
[1]Collection and basket complaints
Another identified B1 user reported sticking, disappointing scrubbing and debris being expelled when a basket flap jammed. They also disliked the feel and removal of the basket. These are concrete reported annoyances, although the thread cannot establish their prevalence.
[1]A reason to test the whole routine
Assess whether debris remains inside during turning and retrieval, not simply whether the robot moves around the pool. The discussion contains praise for the C1 and unnamed WYBOT models, which should not be counted as positive B1 evidence. The B1’s long-term reliability remains uncertain.
