WCB assessment

Run complete observed cycles in the actual pool and map missed zones, stalls and retrieval.

Basis
Shape, slope, surface, obstacles, water depth, traction and navigation interact.
Limitations
No universal wall, step or waterline coverage is implied.
Buyer action
Record cycle, zones, debris, stalls, cable or battery state and retrieval effort.

WCB assessment

Verify slope, liner, size and floor-only boundary before trial.

Basis
Some entry models exclude walls and restrict bottom slope.
Limitations
Pool-type wording does not override the detailed manual.
Buyer action
Measure pool, confirm liner approval and observe edge parking and retrieval.
