Our Favorite Robotic Pool Cleaner, the Aiper Scuba S1, Is Still on Sale

The best robotic pool cleaners tackle a swimming pool much like the best robot vacuums do: without much effort on your part. And one of our favorite robot pool cleaners is still showing its sweet summer sale price.

Memorial Day sales may have come and gone, but you can still grab this deal on the Aiper Scuba S1 cordless pool cleaner at Amazon. In our tests to find the best pool robot cleaners that do the hard work for you, we found this model to be the easiest to use and the most thorough, giving a good shine to the pool’s floor, walls, and even its stairs.

After our tester unboxed this pool cleaner, it took him less than five minutes to set up. It offers four cleaning modes, including an eco-friendly mode that runs for 45 minutes every 48 hours. If your pool really needs some attention, then go for auto mode and enjoy the 150-minute battery life.

Its proprietary navigation technology allows the Aiper robot pool cleaner to cover more of your pool and more effectively, and its thick treads help it reach higher up pool walls than other models, according to the brand. And since it’s completely cordless, that’s one less thing for you and your guests to trip over.

Much like a good pool, a good robotic pool cleaner is an investment, but we strongly feel that the Aiper Scuba S1 pool cleaner is one worth making, even when it’s not on sale. Amazon customers seem to agree: One reviewer had previously owned a cheaper model that cost $200 and noted that the Aiper ”was better at climbing the pool wall” and cleaning the waterline thanks in part to its heavy-duty build. 

One thing this robot pool cleaner can’t do is skim your pool’s surface. For that, see more of the best pool cleaners we tested below, plus a few other poolside essentials.
