Don’t Buy the Polaris Freedom Before Watching This: Full Review & Manometer Testing

Описание: Thinking about the Polaris Freedom cordless robotic pool cleaner? Before you buy, watch this full breakdown. I ran the Polaris Freedom through testing in our pool, including pool coverage tests and actual suction measurements using my manometer. The result was clear: while the Freedom looks sleek and promises cordless convenience, it underperforms where it matters most.

In this video, I explain why the Polaris Freedom fell short in my testing—especially when compared to similarly priced corded robotic pool cleaners that deliver stronger suction, better filtration, and true hands-off automation.

What I cover in this review:
Real suction testing results (Polaris Freedom measured just 0.8 PSI)
Why PSI matters for actually removing debris like leaves, sand, and algae
Cordless drawbacks: daily recharging, manual handling, and inconsistent cleaning
Filter performance vs NanoFilters and multi-media systems
Coverage performance on floors, walls, and the waterline
App experience and why connectivity drops underwater
Tap & Lift retrieval in real-world use
Price comparison vs better-performing corded robots

How it compares to corded alternatives:
For the same price—or less—you can get corded robots that clean automatically on a weekly timer, run without you being home, and deliver significantly more suction power. In this review, I compare the Polaris Freedom to top-performing corded models like the Dolphin Premier, Dolphin Sigma, and Dolphin Quantum, all of which outperformed it in suction, filtration, and overall convenience.

Bottom line:
Cordless sounds great on paper, but in real ownership it often means more work, weaker suction, and less reliable cleaning. Until battery-powered robots can match the power and automation of corded models, the Polaris Freedom just isn’t a smart buy at its price point.

If you’re looking for a robotic pool cleaner that actually cleans your pool for you, not one you have to manage every day, this video will help you avoid an expensive mistake.
