## 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](https://www.bobvila.com/reviews/aiper-scuba-v3-review/)
- 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](https://www.thesmarthomehookup.com/products/aiper-scuba-v3/)

### Wybot C2

- Bob Vila: Named Best for Fine Debris in a hands on roundup; about 2 h of battery life against a 185 min table figure, with ratings of 4.8 for ease of use, 4.5 for performance and 4 for value. [Source](https://www.bobvila.com/articles/best-robotic-pool-cleaner/)
- The Pool Nerd: Labeled Pool Nerd Disapproved. In an 8 x 20 ft pool it ran 180 min floor only but about 60 min in Turbo, needed about 3 h to recharge after each cycle, and its weekly timer caps total runtime at 180 min. Suction of 3,592 GPH trailed corded Dolphin rivals. The site prefers corded robots. [Source](https://www.thepoolnerd.com/wybot-c2-review)
