AIPERScuba S1 Cordless Robotic Cleaner, Smart Navigation for Inground Pools up to 1,600 Sq.ft, Wall and Waterline Cleaning Vacuum

Bought this device from Amazon in January and started to use it quite recently. Its amazing. On a full charge it will clean and collect lots of stuff from the bottom of the pool and it runs a program where it climbs right up the pool walls and scrubs them. I have used it a few times and loaned it to my neighbors who also loved it. We call it the pool boy. It works extremely well and I don't need to scrub or vacuum the pool by hand any longer. Super duper recommend. Runs for 4 hours on one charge and charges up over night. Get one.

I never knew that battery powered vacuums and skimmers existed until recently and man, where have these been my whole life? I own a 15ft x 33ft underground sport pool with a vinyl liner and this Scuba S1 is simply unbelievable in its performance.I only use the "bottom only mode" as I do not want the unit climbing the walls of my vinyl liner and in the bottom only mode it will run for 3hrs and 15 minutes and cleans 100% of the floor.... not a single miss anywhere. Ever.I used to have a side suction hose vacuum that was installed 24/7/365 and it was such a headache as it always got stuck on the steps and would just sit in one place for hours on my vinyl liner..... this is my very 1st pool and I am the pool guy and I only know what I know and am still learning, but I have been doing it all for over 6yrs now.Since buying the Scuba S1, I have completely removed the side suction vacuum and now just use the S1 as my one and only floor cleaning unit. I make sure to run it the same time that my main pool pump/filter is on so they can both "work together".... The stuff that is too fine and passes through the S1's filter (think pollen and dust) and then gets blown up out of the exhaust and into the water column is then picked up by my pool's main filter.... perfection!Full charge takes about 3hrs and the unit is fairly light to handle, although it is heavy when getting it out of the water until the water empties from it and then it is fine.... take it out slowly so it isn't so heavy.Cleaning the debris basket is super easy and I literally don't have a bad word to say about the machine.... It has made caring for my pool so much easier, especially when combined with an Aiper Surfer S2 solar skimmer.... Thanks Aiper!!UPDATE: I love my Scuba S1 so much that I bought a new 2025 Scuba S1 (with internet/app capability and the incredible ultra fine filter) so I now have 2 little robots to do the heavy lifting of keeping my pool clean.... I have a review on the new 2025 Scuba S1 model and I highly suggest you read that before purchasing!!

Update:Pobby from Aiper customer service reached out after reading my review and was very concerned for our poor experience. He sent us a new Seagull Pro unit. It has been a far better experience than the Scuba S1. The quality of the new unit is impressive and the software seems to work much better than the S1 as well. It now cleans our entire pool (40x20) very well with one charge. We are really enjoying the seagull pro and appreciate the outstanding customer service from Aiper. They seem to genuinely care about their clients' satisfaction. I highly recommend the Seagull Pro for most in-ground pools.Original:I have used this unit for the last 3 days in ever mode it offers so I could evaluate it fairly. It looked great, charged quickly & fully, it was very easy to use and battery life was better than I expected. Plus I loved the cordless unit and ease in and out of the pool and the price was very good, if it had worked.The good news ends there. It simply does not pick up dirt in the pool, not even pine needles or other small debris. It continued to go over and over the same areas but sadly didn't even clean where it went over. I have had 2 Aquabot robot cleaners for the last 12 years which both kept our pool spotless with very little service required. Unfortunately Aquabot is no longer the company they used to be so I am now looking for a new cleaner brand. All I know right now is that the AIPER Scuba S1 is NOT the answer. A total waste of my time. I considered trying the Seagull Pro model but will be buying a proven corded model to keep from wasting more time.

We’ve had this vacuum for a couple weeks and so far it has been great! Our pool sits under an oak tree, so we’re constantly getting leaves and debris falling. Vacuum picks everything up off the bottom and cleans the waterline of all the pollen that tends to stick there. It saves me quite a bit of time since I can set the cleaning mode, toss it in and go do other things. I love that there is no cord to have to untangle or wind up when it’s done. It simply parks itself against the wall so I can pull it out with the included hook and plug it in for next time. Easy peasy! While this vacuum was significantly less expensive than models at the pool store, the clean we get is just as good. We’ll see how long it holds up, but so far I believe the is was money well spent!
