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 Seagull SE
- The Pool Nerd (2.3/5): Tested in the reviewer's own pool and rated it 2.3 of 5, labeled Pool Nerd Disapproved, calling the results disappointing. The site prefers corded robots and earns affiliate commissions. Source
- PCWorld: Ran about 90 min per cycle and swept up about 90% of debris in a leaf filled pool, but handled large leaves worse than a Polaris, stopped near the center instead of parking at the wall, and needed daily emptying. Source
