- Skip if: you want underwater app control included
- HTML version: https://robotsforthat.com/robot/aiper-scuba-x1-pro/

## Verdict

A smarter version of the Scuba X1 with more sensors and a 3 µm filter sock. Reviews split sharply: Cybershack found it cleared its test pool systematically, while The Pool Nerd saw weak suction and missed leaves. Consider it for an irregular pool with curved edges; skip it if you have a basic rectangle or want app control underwater without paying extra.

## Questions buyers ask

### How is it different from the Scuba X1?

Cybershack says the X1 Pro has 26 sensors versus 14, adds 360 degree mapping and a 3 µm filter sock, and handles curved pool edges better.

### Can I control it from the app underwater?

Not by default. The app works above water, and The Pool Nerd says underwater control needs the HydroComm Pro add on.

### How long does it run?

Aiper claims up to 180 minutes. Cybershack got about 134 minutes on Auto with 28% left, and Max mode cuts runtime by over 20%.
