RoboSnail one step closer to being released

By on Jun 19, 2012

The RoboSnail automated aquarium cleaner by AquaGenesis is one step closer to being released as the units have moved out of beta and into final production mode. To highlight this big event, AquaGenesis unveiled its website along with pricing and more details on the units. In case you don’t remember the RoboSnail, it is a robotic automated aquarium glass cleaner, kind of like a Roomba for your aquarium. The cleaner will periodically run a cleaning pattern on the aquarium and return to its docking station to recharge. Click through for an updated demonstration video of the RoboSnail.

A few new updates include an improved cleaning pattern that is capable of cleaning in-wall aquariums and rimless aquariums, extended battery life and performance, plus a simplified programming mode making it easier to get it up and running. Granted, the RoboSnail still will only work on one pane but having one clean pane automatically done for you is a great start. The RoboSnail is set to debut later this year for an MSRP of $299. AquaGenesis is currently accepting applications for distributors, if you are interested in carrying the RoboSnail visit the website to register with the company for more details and access to more information.

    I hope this works well. I wonder why it’s pattern seems to be a bit random?

    300 dollars? It costs less for a Roomba!

    $300 seems like a pretty good price to me. The bigger Magnavore and Tunze magnet cleaners cost pretty close to that and they don’t work on their own. On a large aquarium, the extra time saved will quickly make up the difference in price.

    Will robo hermits eat robo snails?

    Yes but will your Roomba work underwater and vertically?

    will it come out from the tank if it is rimless and will it scratch if it is a sand bottom tank

    One thing… will it turn corners and clean other sides of the tank? It’d be pretty useless or AquaGenesis is losing possible customers by only appealing to those with tanks that are viewed from one side only.

    Read the article… And how do you suggest it turns corners??? Magic?

    They posted in a previous article that it is programmable to stay away from sand beds. And your other question is answered in the article.

    Wow Brandon, Having a bad day?

    Better cleaning mechanism. sometimes you gotta give it that “windshield wiper” style…

    Only when people ask questions that have already be answered. Oh, and when folks call a pretty revolutionary product useless because it physically cannot bow to their whims. So, yeah.
