What reviewers found
Aiper Scuba V3
- Bob Vila (4.5/5): About a month in a Florida pool: it identified debris and drove to it, pickup of algae and fine debris was excellent, and retrieval was easy; no surface skimming and premium price when not on sale. Source
- The Smart Home Hookup: Passed the 8 inch sun shelf test and praised debris detection, but even with the secondary filter it struggled with sending fine silt into the water column. Source
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra
- Reviewed: Did an excellent job on bottom and sides and left clear water, but could not clean the shallow tanning area or Baja shelf, lost Wi-Fi underwater, and its near 30 lb weight was hard to haul. Source
- Android Authority: Editor's Choice; pulled more debris, including small rocks, from an already clean pool than other robots tested. Downsides were bulk, price, and one failed charge due to wet contacts. Source
