(2025 Upgrade) Aiper Scuba S1 Robotic Pool Cleaner, Wall & Waterline Cleaning, Double Filtration, Extended 180-Min Battery Life, Smart Navigation, App Support, OTA Upgrade

This works fantastic for me. I have a kidney bean style pool with gradual sides. The cleaning time is as advertised for me. I used the fine filter and picked up stuff my main filter would catch before. I've used it every day, it charges in 3-4 hrs, parks next to edge of pool when battery low. Has red light showing low charge and a hook is included. 9 yo kid runs this for me, settings are easy to set on it and an app as well. I use the app to see the charge.

We got this on sale and also got a discount when we applied for the Prime Visa! We’ve had it about 2 months and didn’t want to write a review until we’ve used it enough. Definitely worth the money! It is so easy to use and we don’t have to hassle with the pool vacuum hoses any more! It came with a hook that attaches to one of our poles which helps pull it out of the pool. Does a great job cleaning the pool. It has 4 different modes. Once the filter basket gets so much debris, it automatically stops until you clean the basket. Our pool is kidney shaped, has a cage and only 13,000 gallons so it does great. If you have a larger pool or one that isn’t covered with a cage you will need to clean the basket many times to do the job. This model doesn’t come with a docking station but we have a small short table we store it in. We knew it didn’t come with one but wish one was included.

We’ve had our pool for about 6 months now and after having it “professionally” cleaned a few times I decided I could probably do a better job and save some money at the same time. Our pool looked better than when the pool company cleaned it but I found it was taking more time than I had. I wouldn’t mind paying the company but they just weren’t doing a good job. I did some research and landed on the Aiper Scuba S1. The price was reasonable and the reviews were solid. I ordered it and received it quickly. Out the box there was zero assembly required. It charged quickly and was a breeze to add to my Aiper app. The firmware update was fast and I set it in the pool to give it a go. The Scuba sucked up all the leaves and even a ton of dirt I didn’t even know was in my pool. It scrubbed the waterline effectively and didn’t miss any spots on the floor or walls of the pool. My only concern is that the Scuba couldn’t get past the pool steps without me picking it up and setting it down somewhere else. I’m hoping that after several uses it will “learn” to go around and keep on going to the rest of the pool. The Scuba did not climb onto the tanning shelf but I can’t say I’m disappointed because in my research I couldn’t find another robot (at least at this price point) that did so. Plus, we have longe chairs on the shelf that would make it very difficult for the robot to navigate around. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and it’s performance. I also have Aiper’s Hydrocom pool monitor and Surfer skimmer which have also been game changers. If you do your own pool maintenance, these products are the way to go.

Frequently gets a flashing red light. I take it out of the pool, turn it off and on and check for obstructions. Repeat 3 or 4 times before it actually runs. Gets stuck on the steps. When it works it does a decent job but I have to check on it frequently. If it doesn’t get everything in one pass I have to wait for it to recharge and run again. Going back to corded pool robots. Would t recommend. UPDATE: after a few more times trying get this to work I feel that it is useless. Will be requesting a refund. Absolute garbage Another update: after leaving this review, Aiper reached out to me (I didn’t initiate contact) and sent me a new, slightly better model. I have only used it 4 or 5 times but so far it cleans pretty well and hasn’t gotten stuck. It also charges in 2 or 3 hours, which is great. I am wondering if the first one was just a defective unit, based on how much more smoothly this new one performs. So between their customer service (not only sending the robot but they have been very polite and helpful) I’ve decided to improve my rating. Because of the first one not working well I feel it wouldn’t be accurate to give 5 stars but since they went so far out of their way to help me I feel like 4 stars is appropriate. TLDR: great customer service. Replaced my first robot with a better model that works great.

After much research I purchased the S1. I have been very impressed with its performance. It cleans my 18x 36 in ground pool beautifully and beats the crap out of dragging those hoses around. For the price, it’s a winner!

So far it works very well. It has several different functions I cleans much better then the last one I had but I’m waiting to see if it holds up. The last one didn’t clean as well but it was good enough that I didn’t have to vacuum every day. Unfortunately it died after 6 months. I will come back and edit if this one doesn’t hold up. I have used it every day for about a week. For the cost I expect at least 18 months to consider this a good purchase. It does save a lot of time and work it appears to be designed well the filter picks up everything from small grains of sand to bigger leaves and the filter is very easy to clean. We have a vey high use pool especially between April and November so hopefully it holds up and works as good as it does now.,

I purchased it because I was getting tired of pulling out the Hayward vacuum and hose and I'm the poolboy. My only issue so far is that it got stuck at the skimmer and had a problem moving beyond it to finish cleaning the walls. Once I started it on 1 side of the skimmer it made it around cleaning the walls, It's amazing to watch it climb the walls and scrub the water line. It does an incredible job on the pool floor, trapping sand and picking up acorns, leaves, and other debris on the pool bottom. Overall very satisfied so far, used it 3 times and it does seem to be mapping the pool. For the price, this is a great option. I gave it 5 even with the skimmer issue.

So I am updating my review. The performance of the product as previously stated was great while it lasted. The customer service was great. I was able to send the product back for free and received a full refund. They gave me an upgraded machine the Scuba X1. The X1 works great as well and you just put it on the charger cradle, so easy, and error free. S1 This works great, but it broke in 2 weeks. Read the return policy before placing your order. The skimmer works great, but the pool vacuum plug is very poorly designed. One of the two pins broke in the charger port and now it cannot be charged. It did a great job of picking up finer materials. We do not have leaves. I did really like it while it lasted. A few months later the X1 is preforming very well. We are very happy with it
