What reviewers found
Aiper Scuba S1
- Reviewed: In a roughly 1,200 sq ft pool it climbed walls well and covered most of the pool, but left leaves behind and needed four cycles for a spotless pool; drying the charging port was a chore. Source
- The Smart Home Hookup: Ran 3 h 56 min against 150 min listed with about 95% wall and floor coverage, the best in the group, but its rear suction stirred up leaves. Source
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro
- Cybershack (8.7/10): Scored 8.7/10. Removed all debris from the test pool including tile line dirt, ran about 134 min on Auto with 28% battery left, took 5 h to charge, and the 3 µm sock was very dirty after one clean. Adaptive mode added about 20 min to cover curved fillets. Source
- The Pool Nerd: Labeled Pool Nerd Disapproved. Saw leaves swirl around the 7.75 in intake, larger debris missed and fine silt needing several cycles; 180 min runtime only in Eco mode and 3 to 4 h recharges. The site prefers corded robots. Source
