What reviewers found
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro
- The Pool Nerd: Labeled Pool Nerd Disapproved. Saw leaves swirl around the 7.75 in intake, larger debris missed and fine silt needing several cycles; 180 min runtime only in Eco mode and 3 to 4 h recharges. The site prefers corded robots. Source
- Cybershack (8.7/10): Scored 8.7/10. Removed all debris from the test pool including tile line dirt, ran about 134 min on Auto with 28% battery left, took 5 h to charge, and the 3 µm sock was very dirty after one clean. Adaptive mode added about 20 min to cover curved fillets. Source
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max
- The Pool Nerd: Rated Pool Nerd Disapproved: measured weaker suction than top corded robots, fine sediment remained after several passes, and it needed 4 to 5 hours of charging after each session. Source
- Digital Trends: Editors' Choice. Floor and wall cleaning was about 90% effective and it never got stuck, with stronger suction than a Beatbot AquaSense Pro; skimming underperformed and it climbed only 0.5 to 1 inch above the waterline. Source
