## 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)

### WYBOT C2 Vision

- EFTM (86%): Dirt hunting mode found a placed dirt pile within 20 minutes and the pool looked very clean, but most modes ran until the battery was nearly flat, shallow steps stopped it, and the app had account and translation quirks.

- The Pool Nerd: Tested the standard C2, not the Vision: weaker suction than a corded Dolphin, a weekly timer capped at 180 minutes total in floor mode, and an Android login error. Rated Pool Nerd Disapproved. [Source](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/wybot-c2-review)
