Premium cordless robot that also skims the surface

We started tracking this price on Oct 26, 2026 and have not found a past sale price yet, so we cannot say if $1,700 is a good deal. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 31 days away, when robots in this category usually get their biggest cuts. Get a price drop alert.
Aiper's do it all model covers floor, walls, waterline and surface, with a big 5 L basket and a 3 year warranty. Digital Trends called it one of the best cleaners on the market, while The Pool Nerd found weaker suction than top corded robots. It suits big in-ground pools where you want no cord, but it is heavy to lift out.
Best for: large in-ground pools wanting skimming too. Skip if: you cannot lift about 33 lb.

What independent reviewers found
- Editors' Choice. Floor and wall cleaning was about 90% effective and it never got stuck, with stronger suction than a Beatbot AquaSense Pro; skimming underperformed and it climbed only 0.5 to 1 inch above the waterline.
- Digital Trends
- Rated Pool Nerd Disapproved: measured weaker suction than top corded robots, fine sediment remained after several passes, and it needed 4 to 5 hours of charging after each session.
