I had an old model of this brand (Dolphin X40 Plus) that had a cord which efficiently cleaned my pool and spa without issue (except the cord disintregated). In January this year 2026, I replaced with a new FR2000 iQ cordless latest model. Unfortunately the new model does not clean the spa as the spa has right angles. It just gets struck and… Read more
doesnt move. Feeling very frustrated that the company doesnt explain that the new "iQ" 2026 model doesnt do what the old 2016 model did, I tried calling the company and getting some advice. I purchased in January this year and have rang 3 times and cannot get anyone to call me back. Each time I have rung there is no apology. Just "the technicians are busy and will call you back when they can"! 3 months is a long time to wait for a call back! I then thought I may need to bite the bullet and buy a specific spa cleaner. However the one the have on the website says it does not clean right angles (in other words it is not smart enough to know when it stops moving to reverse or go up etc). Of course I would be able to ask about this if they ever called me back. But they just wont. My advice is to buy one of the cheaper models out there as this one does less than my old one. It doesn the pool just fine - but that is the least you would expect. Not worth the money and incredibly poor after sales service.
Would not go there , had two already, First one wouldn’t work had fault codes , the pool shop gave me another new one , I charged it up put in the pool and went about meter and stoped with flashing red lights more faults codes and would not work again , I took it back and got my money back as I was over it .

Product good, app useless – Unit works great but the app is not functioning and we’ll know by the support team. Disappointing as the product is great
Pool Cleaning Made Fun with a Remote Control ! – Having just swapped over from a traditional corded pool cleaner, we were pleased to see that the Zodiac FreeRider FR2000 iQ not only had comparable cleaning power, but it got the job done without falling into those annoying patterns and no-go areas that usually besets the corded ones. Right up to the waterline, there is no place it won’t go as it… Read more · 1
picks up leaves and debris , while scrubbing and jetting up algae and other micro particles to help the filter do its thing.
This thing goes everywhere!
Even better is that it’s easy to launch, easy to retrieve and easy to clean.
I must say I also had a lot of fun with the remote!
Should there be a leaf that sinks to the bottom at the last minute, you can guide the unit to the offending debris and get a nice feeling of satisfaction as it disappears leaving you with an immaculate finish as you call the Freerider to the top of the pool for cleaning or retrieval.
It goes without saying, that the lack of cord means peace of mind with no threat of trips or tangles for us our kids and pets or any nervous visitors.
It’s fun and it’s easy ... which is saying something when we’re talking about cleaning your pool !

Ditch the cord!! – We’ve been testing out the Zodiac FreeRider FR2000 for the past week and it has definitely made itself at home. The fact that it’s cordless was already a big win, the fact that it does waterline cleaning is game changing! We’ve been happy with the results - it collects leaves and all sorts of debris and bugs that land in it. We are in an area… Read more · 1
that is very much under construction, so the dust is constant and it’s been tackling a fair amount of it. The unit itself is very easy to use - the app is handy to check its charge. I like that the charging caddy is on wheels - it also keeps everything together and the filters are easy to clean. A unique feature has also been the remote retrieval system.. a simple click of the remote and it comes back up to meet you. It’s a great product, has definitely convinced us to ditch the cord and the simplicity alone is worth the upgrade.

surfaces. My children loved watching her climb up and down the walls of the pool all.oner her own. Like a real robot!
Connecting the Free Rider to the iAquaLink app on my phone was super easy and enabled me greater control of the cleaner and improved monitoring of the battery status.
She also has a handy remote control for easy waterline retrieval once shes finished the job.
It also comes with a transportation caddy fitted with the cleaner charging base, making it super convenient to store the cleaner. And it looks so nice!
Currently retailing at $3,599 the Zodiac FR2000 IQ is worth every penny!
