POLARIS Epic 8642 iQ Robotic Pool Cleaner with Caddy
Product Overview
The Polaris EPIC 8642 iQ is a proven choice for homeowners who need precise waterline scrubbing and the convenience of mobile app connectivity.
Equipped with a Double Helix brush design and cyclonic vacuum technology, the Polaris EPIC 8642 iQ maintains consistent suction while channeling debris directly into the large-capacity canister. We recommend this model for complex pool shapes because its tighter turn radius allows it to navigate tight corners and steps more effectively than standard robotic units. The integrated iAquaLink app provides remote control and cleaning status updates directly to your smartphone.
