Automatic pool cleaner
For a hard-sided above-ground pool, the main thing is whether wall climbing is a must-have or just a bonus. Most robots do a great job on the floor, but wall climbing can vary a lot depending on the wall material and liner. Usually corded machines work best for walls on an above-ground pool. Dolphin

Robot for 2025?
After watching a few videos, I ended up getting an Aiper Scuba S1... I've only had it this season, but I'm extremely pleased with it, and for $450 on sale, I don't mind replacing it every few years if needed. Doesn't have any fancy features like docking, remote start, etc however. I have a 20x40, 40

Robotic Pool Vaccum Above Ground Pool
Hey! For above-ground pools, most cordless robots are great on the floor but still limited on wall climbing since they’re mainly designed for in-ground pools. If wall cleaning is important, people usually go corded (like Maytronics) or just do a bit of manual touch-up on the sides. You can also look

Are Aiper vacuums any good?
I have had the Aiper Scuba S1 for a a year and half now and absolutely love it. His name is Robbie and my 2 year old loves asking for Robbie. He takes an hour or so to fully charge and runs for about 4hrs. My pool is smallish, 12k gallons and cleans the bottom without leaving a speck of debris. You

Hi, I am in the market for a pool vacuum and I am considering a battery operated wireless model for my 20 X 40 in ground swimming pool and would like to know your thoughts and recommendations. Thanks !
Aiper Scuba S1. Gets many negative comments but mine works really good. Wireless and runs for four hours on a charge. It was also the robot that did not get stuck on the main drain. Yes, the wife bought 3 brands and insisted we try first and return the other 2.

Robot for sloped pool
Ok we’ve had the Dolphin, Polaris Sport and the Tigershark! They last 2 years tops! We have since got a Aiper Scuba S1 for half of what the others cost and will NEVER go back to the $12-$1500 ones. It cleans wayyyy better than any of them did. The way it scrubs is amazing! It literally climbs my sta

Hunting for a new pool robot, looking for your thoughts
My first robot was the Maytronics Nautilus CC plus. Lasted two years and would have been fairly easy to fix. It worked great, picked up loads of debris and climbed walls like nobody's business. I decided to "upgrade" to the Nautilus CC Supreme. Didn't climb walls well at all and died after a year. I

What is this that collects at the bottom of my pool?
Aiper Scuba S1. It was about $400. Easy to use. Climbs the sides. Has a feature to leave it in the pool for a week and it'll vacuum the bottom 3 times in that week. We don't use that too much because it isn't necessary in our pool but it's handy over a busy weekend.

Aiper cordless pool robot or Zodiac cord one?
Hey pool buddy! I have the same pool. I started with an ancient corded thing with a sock net. It worked fine but it eventually broke down and parts were hard to find and expensive. It was also kind of a pain with the hose and keeping it poolside. Anyway, I now have an Apier and it's been a big win f
