What reviewers found
Aiper Seagull Pro
- EFTM: Ran a full 2 h in floor mode on an average size pool without issues and recharged in about 3 h. Tested only in a well kept pool. Source
- Pro Tool Reviews: Ran about 3 h in a 20,000 gallon inground pool and recharged in about 90 min. Cleaned the floor in straight lines, then climbed walls in vertical passes, and drove over raised drain covers. Basket cleaned with a hose in a few minutes. Source
Ecovacs Ultramarine P1
- EFTM (87%): Cleaned the test pool spotless in about 90 minutes and climbed walls and a two tier step. Charging from 5% to full took 3 h 40 min. Flipped upside down once after a wall climb. Source
- The Hook Up: Ran 2 h 9 min and covered 99% of the floor, 81% of walls and 38% of stairs and bench. Reached the coping at the waterline, captured silt well with the floss filter and leaked zero particles, but has a small bin and climbed the 8 in shelf enough to raise concern it could climb out. Named budget pick for sand, silt and pollen. Source
