What reviewers found
Aiper Scuba S1
- 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
- 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
Mammotion SPINO E1
- The Smart Home Hookup: In a 10 robot test, a 2 h 51 min session covered 97% of the floor, 47% of the walls and 28% of the stairs and bench. It got stuck in the deep end and bench area during wall mode, cycled its suction motor on and off, and climbed an 8 in shelf without cleaning it. Source
- PCWorld: Called it capable and easy to use. It brushed ladder rungs and kept going without getting stuck, where an Aiper Scuba V3 got stuck several times. Drained in about 5 seconds. No pool map, no cleaning logs and no live data underwater; fine pollen passed through the 180 micron basket. Source
