If you’re searching for a top-tier pool cleaning solution, look no further than the Zodiac Voyager RE 4700 iQ robotic pool cleaner — let’s call it simply the Voyager 4700 iQ. This blog will walk you through the many advantages this model brings to your pool-care routine.

Key Advantages
1. Powerful Cyclonic Suction + Helix Brushes
One of the standout features is the patented Cyclonic Suction: the Voyager 4700 iQ uses a strong vortex effect to keep dirt and debris suspended and ensure it gets captured rather than just pushed around.Paired with helix-shaped brushes front and back, it means efficient scrubbing of the pool floor, walls, and waterline.
Why this matters for you: For a Mediterranean-climate pool (with pollen, leaves, wind-blown debris) this capability helps ensure the pool remains inviting without you doing the scrubbing.
2. Dual-Level Filtration (150 μ & 60 μ)
The Voyager 4700 iQ uses a two-stage filtration system: a coarse filter (~150 microns) and a fine one (~60 microns) built into the unit.This helps it capture both large debris (leaves, twigs) and finer particles (dust, sediment).
Why this matters: Cleaner water, fewer bits floating or settling, and less load on your pool’s main filtration system.
3. Suitable for Various Pool Shapes, Surfaces & Sizes
According to the official spec, the Voyager 4700 iQ is designed for pools up to about 12 × 6 m (≈ 39 × 20 ft) and works on all shapes (rectangular, oval, free-form) and surfaces (tiles, liner, painted concrete, etc.).
Why this matters: Whether your pool is standard or a bit irregular (curves, partial slopes), this robot can handle it without you needing a custom solution.
4. Smart-Control via Smartphone App (iAquaLink)
One of the big modern perks: you can monitor and control the cleaning cycle via the iAquaLink® app. Start/stop, monitor progress, adjust cycle time — all remotely.
Moreover, the robot is designed for future software updates (so its capabilities may improve over time) via the app.
Why this matters: You don’t need to be physically by the pool board; you can check from inside your house (or even away) — ideal for busy schedules.
5. Lift System & Easy Handling
When cleaning is done, the Voyager uses a “Lift System” to make removal easier: it positions itself at the waterline, expels water, making it lighter and easier to pull out of the pool. Also, the top-access filter means emptying/maintenance is straightforward.
Why this matters: Less strain when retrieving the robot — especially helpful if you have deeper pools or you prefer not to struggle lifting heavy equipment.
6. Anti-Tangle Cable Swivel & Complete Coverage
The unit comes with an 18-metre cable (for the specified pool size) and a swivel to prevent cable tangling.The robot is pre-programmed to clean floor, walls and the water-line (depending on mode) for full coverage.
Why this matters: Fewer interruptions, less cable-management hassle, and you get a full-suite clean rather than floor only.
Best Practices & Considerations
Pool size & shape: While the spec says up to 12 × 6 m, if your pool is significantly larger or deeper than average, verify compatibility.
Surface type: It handles most surfaces, but if you have very unusual tiling or deep steps, inspect how well it climbs or reaches.
Maintenance: Even the best robot needs cleaning of its filters, checking for wear on brushes/tracks to maximise longevity.
Use of app: To get full benefit of the smart features (updates, remote control) ensure WiFi/connection is reliable near the pool equipment area.
Storage: After each cleaning cycle, removing the robot from the pool (rather than leaving submerged) is good practice for longevity.
In summary, the Voyager 4700 iQ stands out in the robotic pool-cleaner market thanks to its strong suction, dual filtration, comprehensive surface/shape coverage, smart-control features, and user-friendly handling. If you’re looking to reduce your manual pool-cleaning time and keep your pool consistently inviting, this model offers a premium solution.
