Scuba S1 Robotic Pool Cleaner, Wall & Waterline Cleaning, Dual Filtration, Extended 180-Min Battery Life, Smarter Navigation with High-Precision Sensors, App Support, OTA Upgrade

This device is a battery powered underwater vacuum cleaner with a rotating rubber brush. It has multiple modes, but the basic mode is to first clean the pool sides and then to clean the pool bottom. It is effective at removing silt and leaves that are then deposited into a basket. It seems less effective at scrubbing algae. The vacuum basket is easily removed from the machine and is easily emptied and then cleaned with a hose. The machine runs until the battery reaches a predetermined charge level (15% I think). Then it stops, showing a red indicator light. It almost always stops at the bottom of the pool wall, but in a somewhat random location along the perimeter. You pull the machine out of the pool with a standard pool pole fitted with a supplied plastic hook. The hook easily engages a slot near the indicator light. It is easy to engage, even at night, due to the proximity of the indicator light. You pull the machine up and let it drain for about 20 seconds while holding it over the pool. Then it can be lowered to the ground. The machine is not lightweight, but is not too difficult to carry. The machine is returned to its charging location (near a socket) and the vacuum basket is emptied and cleaned. Then you plug in the charging cable - this is easy. To start cleaning, you hold the machine just above the water surface along a wall. Turn it on by holding the button by the handle for several seconds. When it beeps it can be dropped into the water and away it goes... As mentioned, it is effective at gathering silt and leaves. A complaint is that the instructions warn not to charge the battery fully. However, the included (free) phone app has no means of controlling the maximum charge level, so it always charges to 100% unless you track the charge and unplug it early. The phone app communicates with the machine and can, for example, set its cleaning mode. Not providing a means to limit charging is out of character with the excellence of the rest of the machine. The full-charge run time of about three hours is more than enough to cover most pools, so an 85% charge limit would still provide ample performance while lengthening battery life. My prior pool vacuum was also electric, but powered by a cable hooked up to a power supply plugged into the house. This worked pretty well, but the local raccoons like to bite the cable for some reason. Eventually (twice), the cable failed due to these bites. A $400 replacement cost took the fun out of such antics. This battery-powered machine solves the raccoon problem!

After 5 months owning the Aiper Scuba S1, I am a huge fan! I changed from a pump driven Polaris vacuum with a connected hose to the Aiper. I will never go back to the old approach. The Aiper is very easy to use. I run it twice per week and it keeps my pool amazingly clean, even through the winter/spring leaf dump and cut grass from mowing. My dogs love our pool and track in dirt and sand which the Aiper picks up amazingly well. I rarely use the fine filter and just wash out the main debris box after each use. My only caution is that the Aiper can be heavy to pull out of the pool when it is full of water but the included hook makes that relatively easy. I highly recommend this product!

I tried two of the off brand, imitation robots that also sell here on Amazon. No point in naming them, the names change every so often. Those models were terrible at cleaning pool. Neither of them moved in any kind of discernible pattern. And just moved the dirt around, rather than suck it up. All that being said, this Aiper robot is the real deal. It costs more than the off brand robots, but it actually cleans the pool well. It has two filters for picking up small particles and big. It travels in a pattern like it say it will. And runs for a couple hours at least on a charge. It’s worth the extra money, you get what you pay for.

I have a 12k gallon pool and this machine definitely helps keep it clean from debris and small insects. I did have an issue after purchasing with my power supply and had to return my unit back to the company but it was covered under warranty and I received a new one. The price was a bit high but if my machine is still working into year two then I think it was worth the purchase. Had my S1 for 10 months now

Purchased this pool vac 3 months ago and used it as directed. The unit charged up fine and I ran it on the default setting. It worked fine for three months then the last time I tried to charge it, the unit remained in standby mode (solid blue light) and wouldn't charge. I tried troubleshooting through online support and there suggestion to turn off the unit and try recharging it didn't work so they advised filling out an online warranty repair form. I did that, and was informed I would have to box the unit up and send it to them to repair the battery or charging system. They did send a self addressed mailing label, but I was going they would send me a replacement since the unit was under warranty and only three months old. Nevertheless, I went to fed ex to ship it and they told me I couldn't ship it at that Fedex store since it had a large battery label on the box, so I had to go to a specific Fedex location. It would have been nice to know that before I drove 15 minutes to the closest Fedex. So...after driving another 15 minutes to the other location, the unit is in the mail back to the company for repair. Meanwhile, I'm without a floor cleaner. We will see how long it takes to get the unit back and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I after I get it I have no further problems.

I originally wrote an unfavorable review, and I’d like to retract it and apologize to the seller and manufacturer of this product. The issue was due to user error on my part. That said, I am now very pleased with the Aiper Scuba S1. For context, I have a 40x18 gunite pool, and the Scuba S1 does an excellent job cleaning it, honestly, much better than the pool company I had hired to maintain it. The app is simple, easy to use, and works seamlessly. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the product and would recommend it.

Absolutely loved this bot. It cleans very well. It's aggressive in traversing the pool, pool walls and even the pool stairs. Easy to clean basket. Cleans the entire pool on one charge. Loved everything about this bot until... It stopped charging! For some reason, it just wouldn't charge any more. The light on the charger lit up when plugged in but the charging indicator light on the robot did not light. To be clear, the charging port was dry and the connections were good. This happened multiple times over a couple of days. So I figured I'd just send it in for service somewhere. Then, I waited a couple of days and it started charging again without issue. It has worked fine since. It's now been two weeks of daily use and charging. Go figure! Anyway, it's great and hopefully I will not have any further issues with charging but in my experience issues like that tend to be symptomatic of a real issue. Fingers crossed...

I’m impressed with this robot pool cleaner. This was my first time using a wireless model, and I was skeptical about whether the battery would last long enough to clean the whole pool. One charge easily handled my 10,000-gallon rectangular pool and picked up all the debris without any trouble. It did a great job on both the floor and the walls, and the cleaning was consistent from start to finish. I do still need to scrub the steps occasionally, but that’s something I had to do even with my previous wired Dolphin cleaner, so it’s not a deal-breaker. The step configuration seems to make it hard for any robot to work perfectly Overall, the convenience of no cord, solid battery life, and strong cleaning performance makes this a great upgrade. Very happy with the purchase. If that changes, I will update this review.
