Head-to-head
ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1 vs WYBOT C2: P1 filters finer particles, C2 rates for a slightly larger area
The short answer
The P1 has the finer 3-micron stage and faster published flow. The C2 covers a little more area and offers seven clearly defined cleaning modes.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Coverage: the size of the gap
For “Coverage”, the published figure is 11% higher for WYBOT C2, at 2,152 sq ft compared with 1,937 sq ft for ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1.
What this is based on

About this comparison
Compare two smart cordless cleaners with secondary fine filters.
The practical choice turns on coverage and fine filter, then on the constraints in your own setup.

The needs that actually separate these two
ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1 has the stronger fit for “I want recurring cleaning on a schedule”. WYBOT C2 has the stronger fit for “The waterline needs regular scrubbing” and “Leaves and larger debris are the main problem”.
How we reached this conclusion
This compares the current strong and useful fit assignments for the exact products. It does not turn them into one overall score.
The selected needs do not separate this pair
Both products cover the same 3 of 3 buyer requirements attached to this comparison. The choice moves to “coverage” and “fine filter”.
How we reached this conclusion
This checks the two products against the same selected needs, then names the first verified differences that remain.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1 | WYBOT C2 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | 1,937 sq ft | 2,152 sq ft | Treat this published coverage as a sizing boundary under the stated conditions, not a guarantee for every layout. |
| Fine filter | 3 micron | 10 micron | This identifies what the treatment path is built to capture or reduce and what recurring care it requires. |
| Flow | 4,800 GPH | 3,592 GPH | The published output matters only when the room, surface or workload needs the extra headroom. It does not prove better results by itself. |
| Steps | Not designed for steps | No universal step guarantee | This changes how many steps the user handles and how much of the routine is automated. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1
- The longest runtime is tied to its Eco floor-cleaning mode.
If you choose WYBOT C2
- Battery charging adds downtime between long cycles.
