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

I bought this robot a while ago and have been using it consistently, and the results have been excellent. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants a super clean pool with minimal effort. This is exactly how a pool robot should be: a robot should work for you—not the other way around 🤖. It’s meant to bring ease and relaxation, not extra work or additional tasks. You charge it, clean it when needed, and it does the rest. To make this review more helpful, I’ll break it down by category: Customer Service: Hands down the best customer service I’ve ever experienced in my life. It honestly feels like buying a Lamborghini—you’re treated like a high-end, luxury customer. Their online platform is excellent, and there’s always a real person on the other side ready to help. Product Development: Amazing. You get a solid, well-built unit. Great quality, strong performance, excellent packaging, and thoughtful design. I truly wish every company operated like this—or at least learned from them. Comparison to Other Products on the Market: I’ve tried many pool cleaners over the years, and none of them were worth the price I paid. This one, however, is extremely satisfying—both in performance and build quality. Battery Life: I have a 12,000-gallon pool, and this robot can clean the entire pool—including walls and waterline—twice on a single charge. Charging Time: Very fast. In no time, the robot is ready for action again. Cleaning Performance: It does an amazing job every single time. Maintenance: Minimal. Only the filter needs to be cleaned. Filter Cleaning: Super easy—just rinse the debris off, put the filter back in, and it’s ready to go again. App: Very user-friendly and easy to use. Setup Time: About 1 minute—literally one minute, even for a slow guy like me 🤣 Noise Level: Zero. It’s very quiet—you don’t hear anything. Final Thoughts: I strongly and confidently recommend this product.

I've gone through several pool cleaners over the years, mostly Polaris and Dolphin, and usually stuck with the "name brands." But our last one was a total letdown; it constantly got stuck on the main drain and drove us nuts. When I spotted the Aiper Scuba S1, I wasn't super hopeful...I figured it'd probably do the same thing for a fraction of the cost. Boy, was I wrong! This little cordless robot is a beast! It has never once got hung up on the drain and the performance is seriously impressive. The suction vacuums up leaves, dirt, and debris like it's on a mission, we even nicknamed ours "Munchie" because it seems to hunt down debris. It climbs the walls and scrubs the waterline thoroughly, leaving the pool sparkling clean every time. No cords to tangle, easy to drop in and retrieve, and way more reasonable priced than those premium brands. I've already converted a few neighbors to be Aiper fans after they saw how well it works. If you're tired of finicky cleaners or overpaying for big names, give this one a shot. It's exceeded our every expectation.

I’m impressed with this robot pool cleaner. This was my first time using a wireless model, and I was skeptical about whether the battery would last long enough to clean the whole pool. One charge easily handled my 10,000-gallon rectangular pool and picked up all the debris without any trouble. It did a great job on both the floor and the walls, and the cleaning was consistent from start to finish. I do still need to scrub the steps occasionally, but that’s something I had to do even with my previous wired Dolphin cleaner, so it’s not a deal-breaker. The step configuration seems to make it hard for any robot to work perfectly Overall, the convenience of no cord, solid battery life, and strong cleaning performance makes this a great upgrade. Very happy with the purchase. If that changes, I will update this review.

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.

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.

Wow, if you have a pool, you need this. I absolutely love how easy this makes pool maintenance.

Up until now, I have cleaned my inground pool either the old fashioned way - either by using the brush on the end of the long hose, or using a Creeper type device attached to a long hose. There was always a set up, working, and putting away components. This is my first experience with an automated cordless cleaner. While it took a little longer to ship (not unreasonable), it came extremely well packaged - 3 boxes that protected it well during its shipping adventure from China. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. Operation is equally clear. Charge the battery, turn it on, select which of the 4 programs you want, then drop it in your pool. I've only needed two of the programs so far - the automatic one (default) - pool floor and walls, or the Floor only. It's almost magical watching this gizmo climb the straight walls of your pool just above the water line, with the scouring brush getting rid of the buildup. According to the instructions, it maps out your pool. This was hard to really determine, but it did a better job at reaching most of the pool area. I have a kidney shaped inground pool with a deep end. Sometimes it appeared as if the slope from the deep to the shallow end of the pool confused it a bit. The battery lasted well over 2 hours in my test. The LED indicator was showing yellow, which means I still had some in reserve (it hadn't turned red yet). The charging port is a bit wonky. The rubber plug covers the charging terminals and you are warned to ensure that there is no water in there before charging. On my first couple of tests, there was water in this area, but I found if I pressed the rubber plug firmly there was no water in the charging area. Something to watch out for. It comes packaged with a handy hook that fits on the end of a standard pool pole. Make sure that it is firmly attached. It came off one time as I was lifing the bot out of the pool. When my grandkids saw it in action, the first thing they said is "What are you going to name it?" The movements underwater is almost creature like and actually fun to watch (okay, I need a life). The cleaner appears well constructed. It's easy to rinse out the collection basket with a hose. It's amazing how much stuff it picked up during my first few uses. This has certainly removed the burden out of regularly vaccuming the pool. Highly recommended.

After trying multiple pool cleaners over the years, I finally found one that ticks all the boxes. The Aiper Scuba S1 is more than just a cordless pool vacuum—it’s a fully intelligent cleaning assistant that saves me hours each week and keeps my pool looking like a resort. ✅ What I Love: 💡 Smart Navigation (WavePath 2.0): This isn’t your average zigzagging cleaner. It follows a smart, optimized route, avoids overlap, and never misses a spot—even around drains, steps, and corners, thanks to its caterpillar treads and built-in sensors. 💡 Cleans Floor, Walls, and Waterline: It actually climbs up and scrubs the waterline! Most robots skip this, but not the Scuba S1. I used to manually scrub these areas—now it’s done consistently, and everything looks amazing. 💡 Top-Load Filter Basket: It’s large, easy to access, and traps both fine particles and large debris. Rinsing it out is quick and mess-free. 💡 Cordless & Hassle-Free: No messy hoses, no cords. It moves freely and charges easily. It really feels like a luxury upgrade. 🌱 Bonus Feature: ECO Mode (Yes, It Works!) This was a key selling point for me: ECO Mode runs a 45-minute cleaning cycle every 48 hours for 7 days—perfect for keeping the pool fresh and clear all week. At first I asked myself: How does the battery last a whole week if the full runtime is just 150 minutes? Here's what I learned: - Each ECO session is only 45 minutes - It runs about 3 sessions across the week (Day 1, 3, 5) - That adds up to ~135 minutes; A full charge covers this beautifully 🔋 Pro Tip: Make sure it’s fully charged before enabling ECO mode. And I recommend checking and cleaning the filter basket between runs—especially if your pool collects a lot of debris. I care for my tools with love, and they return the favour! 😊 💰 Is $980 Worth It? Yes—100% yes. Here’s why: - I save hours each week doing more valuable things - I no longer need to hire a pool cleaner - I enjoy continuous maintenance, not just occasional cleanings - My pool is always sparkling and swim-ready - The satisfaction it brings is real. 🧠 What Smart Features It Does Offer: WavePath™ 2.0 smart navigation Floor, wall, and waterline cleaning Auto & ECO modes Intelligent sensor logic 🚫 What It Doesn't Have: No manual remote control No WiFi, app, or real-time tracking But honestly? I never needed those. This robot is a set-it-and-forget-it dream. It thinks for itself, and gets the job done beautifully. All-In-All: This isn’t just a cleaning tool—it’s an investment in peace of mind, a sparkling pool, and a more enjoyable summer. Highly recommended!
