AIPER Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner, Pool Vacuum with Self-Parking Technology, Portable, Ideal for Above-Ground Flat Pool up to 40 Feet, Grey

This pool cleaner is a great tool to have. It saves time while slowly keeping the bottom of your pool clean. It’s completely cordless which is very convenient. It moves around on its own and parks itself neatly by a pool wall when the battery runs low. It even comes with a hook attachment for your pool pole to make retrieval easier. Cleaning-wise, it does a pretty good job on flat surfaces. It sucks up dirt, small debris, and leaves without issues. Keep in mind that this is designed to work on flat bottom pools only so if your pool isn’t perfectly flat, the robot will struggle to climb up any slopes. The cleaning path is a bit random so I've noticed that it will miss spots occasionally but overall, it keeps the pool floor tidy. The filter basket also fills up fast if there’s a lot of debris. You'll need to pull it out and empty it mid-cleaning if that's the case. Thankfully the filter is quite easy to remove and rinse. Runtime is pretty good and right around the advertised 90 minutes and it operates quietly. Build-wise, it feels well-designed. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and even looks pretty cool. It also comes with spare parts and the instructions are clear. Overall, If you have a flat bottom pool, I would recommend this robot vacuum.

Update: Company sent a different unit and it worked well but after 2 uses it stopped charging so reached out to this company and they replaced it and for 2 weeks I’ve been using the Scuba E1. It’s heavier and works much better at collecting leaves, debris, and bugs. I like the 2 filters. It did take quite a while to get the new machines but I’m pleased with the company making sure I was happy with the scuba. Old review: Used for 2 days and it does not work! It sits up along the side of the pool. We have to nudge it to keep it in motion. It barely picks up anything at all. It runs out of battery life way before 90 minutes and has to be charged repeatedly. It goes right over the debris and doesn’t pick it up. A huge waste of money. It is not reliable and I am very disappointed. It’s cheaply made and I don’t see the plastic parts holding up for a summer. We even took ladder out of the way but that didn’t help because it seems to get stuck on the wall of the pool without turning around and moving away from the wall. We also turned off the pump so the water didn’t circulate and disturb it. Nothing made it work better. Awful product!!

I purchased this in late March. Ive had nothing but trouble from this pool vacuum. I'm so fed up with it, I want to throw it against a wall and shatter it into 1000 pieces! Its constantly losing charge and not working for the entire time it claims it will. At most, I get 45 mins out of it. It doesn't pick up sand nor dead algae, just pushes it all around the pool. It barely picks up small leaves half the time. You can't reuse it in a very timely manner after using it because you have to wait for it to completely dry out b4 hooking it back up to its charger and waiting for it to recharge. Its difficult to open, clean out, then reassemble for the next use. I have a 24 foot round above ground pool and this thing is honestly absolutely useless! I rarely if ever leave a bad review, but this product deserves it. Do yourself a favor and purchase a pool vac at a higher price point that will do what it says it will. *EDIT; after posting my review, the seller (Aiper) reached out to me to make things right. They sent me a replacement vacuum the Scuba E1 for free. I'm delayed in updating my review because we wanted to use it for awhile and see how well it does. We have a 24 ft round above ground pool and this Scuba E1 is phenomenal! Pics in my review are for this machine (b4 it cleaned, during, and after). It is much stronger than the vacuum originally purchased, has a nice basket with a tight mesh so things don't escape. It absolutely runs its full 90 min time unlike the version we first purchased. It picks up the sand that is constantly in the bottom of the pool (we live in Florida) and any and all leaves from our many nearby trees, too. It works fast and complete. We are 100% more than satisfied with the Scuba E1. More than anything, we are blown away by the more than excellent communication from Aiper's customer service as well as their dedication to making sure we have a product we can be happy with. Thank you so much, Aiper! When we need to purchase again in the future, we will absolutely buy another Aiper.

Pros: 1. Cordless Design: The cordless functionality eliminates tangling and makes the cleaner safer and more convenient to use, especially in above-ground and flat pools. 2. Self-Parking Technology: This innovative feature ensures the cleaner automatically stops near the pool wall when the battery is low, making retrieval easier. 3. Portable and Lightweight: The compact design allows for easy transport and storage, making it ideal for quick cleaning sessions. 4. Efficient Cleaning: The vacuum effectively removes dirt, leaves, and debris, keeping your pool spotless without much effort. 5.

Easy Maintenance: The filter basket is simple to remove and clean, ensuring the device stays in good condition with minimal upkeep. 7. Quiet Operation: Unlike many pool vacuums, this one operates quietly, so you can enjoy a peaceful environment while it works. Cons: 1. Limited to Flat Pools: The cleaner is designed for flat-bottomed pools and may struggle with uneven surfaces, slopes, or walls. 2. Not for Large Pools: While effective for medium-sized pools, its runtime and coverage may not be sufficient for larger pools or those with heavy debris. 3. Charging Time: The device requires several hours to recharge fully, which may delay consecutive cleaning sessions. 4. No Remote Control: It lacks app or remote functionality, so you cannot manually direct the cleaner to specific areas. 5. Debris Capacity: The filter basket, while easy to clean, might need frequent emptying for pools with heavy debris loads. Verdict: The AIPER Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner is an excellent choice for maintaining above-ground and flat-bottom pools up to 40 feet. Its cordless design, self-parking feature, and efficient cleaning make it a hassle-free option for everyday use. While it may not suit larger or more complex pools, its convenience, portability, and quiet operation make it a valuable addition to pool maintenance routines.

9/19/2026: So, I am totally disappointed. The replacement they sent me is worse than the one I purchased. Three times it wouldn’t take a charge with today making this machine dead and garbage. It lasted 2 months before going completely dead. I am hoping the company sees my latest comment and sends me something worth using. If not, I will be going elsewhere to a company that makes products that last. 7/29/2026: have used it a few times so far and it cleans the bottom of the pool very well. Charging time only takes a few hours but I’m skeptical about how long this one will last. Update 7/18/2026: the company reached out to me and offered to send a scuba E1. I will update once I get this and start using it. From my research, the one they are sending me dies after one season. Wish me luck! Been working okay for my pool. It does miss debris in the pool here and there tho. I have only had it for a year and used for one and half summers now but it’s taking longer to charge, put it in the pool at full charge but then once it is in the water it shows half dead. Every time I take it out of the water I pray nothing comes seeping out of the sides with the water that comes out of it. I would have not spent the money I did on this if I knew the negatives I have experienced.
