AIPERSurfer S2 Solar Powered Pool Surface Skimmer Robot with APP Support, 24/7 Continuous Cleaning, Dual Charging Modes, Smart Obstacle Avoidance, 150-um Filtration, OTA UpgradeClimatePartner certified

Got this unit in June and it worked great!Setup: very easy and the app connected to the unit quickly after charging.Battery life: after the initial charge, the solar panels kept the battery above 90% all summer.Cleaning: I have several short pine needle trees in my neighbor’s yards and a get a ton of needles daily. This unit easily kept up with the needles and I barely had any debris on the pool bottom.Features/connectivity: the monitoring features in the app work great. I travel a lot for work and I could monitor the unit anywhere and even got alerts if got stuck by my ladder.Propulsion: the twin propellers work great for navigating the pool. A couple of things to be mindful - if the unit approaches my ladder from the side, the eyes don’t see it and the unit will stay stuck against the ladder - a simple push gets it going again. Also, if it is cleaning while the filter pump was is running the unit sometimes gets caught in the flow from the jet and will sit there running against the flow. The propellers aren’t strong enough to overcome the flow rate. Overall not big issues at all.

This was a game changer! Pool became 100% easy to take care of. We charged it, placed it in the pool and have never had to charge it again. The solar is amazing. We take it out regularly to empty it and that's all we need to do! We turned our filter off about a month ago when we went away and haven't turned it on yet! It picks up everything and works 24/7. It reduces the amount of chemicals we used this year. Highly recommend for people who are constantly working on their pool to keep it swimmable.

I’ve got three Aiper pool robots, this, Scuba S1, and Seagull pro; I’m happy with them all, but this one is my favorite.First, I want to get the one negative con out of the way, and I hope Aiper sees this: The one negative is that I have three Aiper pool robots, all manufactured and bought within the same year, and each one uses a different adapter and different plug design. Why Aiper? Pick one adapter, pick one water proof charging plug design, and stick with it! This is an unnecessary pain for the customer, and is surely leading to a manufacturing inefficiency on your side. My adapter for this Surfer stopped working; I should be able to use one of the other Aiper adapters, but no, they are all very different.With that out of the way and hopefully in the hands of the design engineers… this Surfer robot is a nearly perfect design and has been a game changer on the work involved in pool maintenance. It might be a waste for someone with a pool in a birdcage, but with mine out in the elements, the Surfer has vastly reduced the amount of leaves and debris that makes it to the bottom of the pool. I only have to touch the Surfer once a week to clean the filter basket, but otherwise, due to the large batteries and solar panel, it runs 24/7, with no intervention from me. After six months, my charging adapter stopped working, but charging is unnecessary until this winter; as of now, the summer sun is enough to keep it running 24/7.I gotta say the app is nice too… it actually features a live meter of how strong the sun is, so you know how well the robot is being charged. Of course it also shows how much battery charge is left. They recently added a new feature to pause, so it can stay on to be recharging, without the motors draining the battery… that would be handy in places or seasons without strong sun, to allow it time to be charged by the panel. But the Florida summer keeps it running 24/7 without having to pause or plug it in.

This is my second skimmer and probably the last skimmer I'll buy until they make a new one. A lot of skimmers when they go into reverse they spit out all the stuff this one keeps every single little piece of pollen and leaves inside of it and I don't know if it's the same thing with you but when I would use the net and go over the entire pool 10 minutes later it would be full of pollen again this thing works 24/7 when I say it runs 24/7 I mean it never stops unless you remove it from the pool and just push the button once and it continues to charge from the Sun the app is nice because it's just simple you just look at the app and you can see how much battery life is on it at all times you can navigate it around the pool if you want to but I don't suggest that I'd say just leave it in there it hasn't been winter yet I'm sure it's not going to be as active but it's still working good so far I've had it for about 2 months I'm really really happy with it it saves me so much timeThe price is good the quality is good and a word of advice if for some reason you have to pull a propeller off because some debris got in there which is very very rare it probably will never happen but you have to make sure that the propeller goes back on it's magnetic but even after you put the propeller back on you have to push until you hear a click if you don't you will continue to get a jammed propeller alert on your phone and the reason is is because you did not push the propeller all the way in besides that this thing is awesome . If you're looking to buy one of these go for the surfer two
