Our take
Aiper Scuba S1 Pro
A reasonable cordless pool cleaner that can keep a pool presentable with frequent runs, but it is not as thorough as a good corded Dolphin or Zodiac.
Owners appreciate the cordless convenience and are generally happy when it is run often.
Battery/charge time, weak waterline cleaning and the need for more frequent cleaning cycles are the main drawbacks.
Pools that need dual-jet suction and dual active rollers.
Pools outside its stated size, surface or cleaning-coverage limits.
- Dual-jet suction and dual active rollers
- Fine and ultra-fine two-stage filtration
What reviewers found
PCWorld’s test supports strong collection of leaves and grit, but the S1 Pro’s bulk and filter cleanup reduce its convenience. This evidence concerns the Pro, rather than the smaller original S1.
Cleaning is the main attraction
The reviewer found good real-debris collection and strong results with deliberately added test leaves. Long running sessions helped it cover the pool. The additional fine filter collected little in that test, so the review does not establish its performance in a severe fine-sediment problem.
[1]Collection and carrying
It parked near a wall successfully, but still required a pole and hook. The tester found it heavy and awkward to handle. A powerful cordless cleaner can therefore reduce vacuuming time while remaining a substantial object to lift and carry.
[1]A basket that takes patience
The hinged basket lid complicated rinsing and some debris lodged above the filter. This matters if your pool accumulates leaves daily: post-cleaning effort is part of ownership, not just the time spent underwater.
[1]The app is secondary
Physical controls were straightforward. The app allowed configuration and firmware updates, but cleaning records were unreliable in the review. Long-term battery durability was not established by this test.
