## 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](https://reviewed.com/home-outdoors/content/aiper-scuba-s1-robotic-pool-cleaner-review)
- 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](https://www.thesmarthomehookup.com/?p=5626)

### Beatbot AquaSense 2

- Bob Vila (4.5/5): Over three months in a debris heavy Florida pool it climbed walls, scrubbed a couple of inches above the waterline and cut manual cleaning to almost zero; it cannot clean stairs and misses upper tile. [Source](https://www.bobvila.com/reviews/beatbot-aquasense-2-review.md)
- The Pool Nerd: Labeled Pool Nerd Disapproved: barely finished one full cycle, suction felt weak, missed corners and steps, and debris fell back out when lifted. Affiliate site that favors corded robots. [Source](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/beatbot-aquasense-2-review)
