Main trade-off
WYBOT C1
Its 180-micron basket is coarser than the C2 secondary 10-micron filter.
Head-to-head
WYBOT C1 vs C2: C2 adds fine-debris media, larger ratings do not guarantee coverage
The short answer
Choose the selected 2025 C1 for floor, wall and waterline cleaning within its 1,615-square-foot area rating. The C2 adds a larger rated area, longer maximum runtime and a 10-micron secondary filter for finer debris. Those specifications do not guarantee complete coverage in every pool shape.

About this comparison
Compare coverage, battery life, filtration and mode count.
The practical choice turns on coverage and runtime, then on the constraints in your own setup.
Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
Fine dust, sand or dead algae settles in my pool
It has a documented fine-filter option. Confirm whether that exact filter is included, and follow coarse-cleanup and filter-care instructions.

- WYBOT C2
- Better fit
I want fewer stops to empty the filter
A larger nominal basket provides more collection space. Debris size, filter loading and cleaning mode determine when it needs attention.

I do not want a cable across the pool
For runtime, WYBOT C1 records “Up to 150 min” and WYBOT C2 records “Up to 180 min”. This changes how much work fits into one session before charging or swapping batteries.

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 “runtime”.
How we reached this conclusion
This checks the two products against the same selected needs, then names the first verified differences that remain.
