Robotic pool cleaner review
Spec-based review: scored from Aiper's published specifications with the same weights as every other robotic cleaner. Not a hands-on test. How we score.
The Aiper Scuba S1 Pro Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner, released in 2025, is a cordless, battery-powered robotic pool cleaner from Aiper. It cleans the floor, walls and waterline, navigates in a systematic pattern rather than at random, using WavePath 2.0 navigation (gyroscope), and connects to its app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. A charge lasts up to 180 minutes and takes about 4 hours to refill.
On paper it scores 8.4 out of 10 (great) against other robotic cleaners. Its strongest areas are filtration (10.0) and pool size (10.0). It has no weak spot in our scoring: every area rates 7 or better.
The best price we found is $1,199.99 at Aiper. The typical robotic cleaner we track costs $899, so this one is pricier than most. For what it does, its value score is 5.6 out of 10.
If you want mapping navigation, the cheapest we track with it is the Dreame Z1 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner at $349.99.
If you want surface skimming, the cheapest we track with it is the Beatbot Sora 70 Robotic Pool Cleaner at $1,199.
To spend less for nearly the same spec score, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Robotic Pool Cleaner rates 9.0 for $799.
Bottom line: a great pick for pools with no outlet near the deck, scheduling and checking on cleans from your phone and large pools.
