Aiper Scuba N1 Cordless Pool Vacuum with Bonus Filters & Baskets

It cannot do steps in pool but can do walls and bottom, I like the feature of setting it to run total minutes in increments so it can cover 3 time periods

Here’s a more polished, balanced, and helpful version of your review: I had high hopes for the Aiper N1. My Dolphin pool cleaner had finally died, and since the repair cost was almost the same as buying the Aiper, I decided to replace it instead. At first, I was very impressed. It picked up fine debris extremely well, and the pool looked great after each cleaning. However, the problems became apparent after several months of ownership. I purchased it at the end of pool season, so it didn’t see regular use until this year, which delayed noticing some of the issues. The biggest disappointment was the battery life. My pool is 36’ x 18’, and the cleaner often needed to be recharged before it could finish a complete cleaning cycle. It also doesn’t follow a systematic cleaning pattern, so it frequently missed sections of the pool. While I don’t expect any robotic cleaner to perfectly handle my irregularly shaped pool, it consistently struggled with the steps and corners. Retrieving the unit from the pool is another drawback. It’s quite heavy, especially when it’s full of water and debris. I also wish it had a charging dock. Instead, you have to plug the charger directly into the unit, and the charging port is covered by a rubber flap that isn’t completely watertight. After removing it from the pool, you have to thoroughly dry the charging area and wait until it’s completely dry before plugging it in. Unfortunately, after only about three months of regular use, the cleaner stopped working altogether. Customer service was responsive and walked me through a hard reset, but it didn’t resolve the issue. They then asked me to ship the unit back for troubleshooting. Rather than deal with the inconvenience, I returned it to my local Sam’s Club. Overall, the Aiper N1 does a good job picking up debris when it’s working, but the random navigation, inability to consistently finish cleaning my pool on a single charge, heavy retrieval, inconvenient charging design, and premature failure outweigh its strengths. Based on my experience, I would not recommend it.
