Aiper vacuum
This vacuum had taken the most time consuming work out of my pool maintenance. My pool has all kinds of slopes and it tackles them with ease! I spend way more time enjoying my pool then i did before! For this price point this vacuum is perfect

Charge can be set to run in increments
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
Did not meet my expectations
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.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thorough, balanced, and constructive review of your experience with the Scuba N1. We genuinely appreciate detailed insights like yours, as they help our engineering team improve future designs. We are incredibly sorry to hear about the premature failure after three months of regular use, and we completely understand your choice to utilize Sam's Club's return policy rather than dealing with the inconvenience of shipping the unit back for repair.

Not there yet....but the battery does last
Impressive battery life, the rest of the technology is not there yet. I so wanted this to be the answer, maybe in a few years.

It’s ok
I see that most of the reviews are paid because of a promotion, so I’m not sure I even believe them now that I own this vacuum. I don’t find the pool vacuum to be that great. It works one time and then it dies. In the description it says one of the modes it cleans every 48 hours, yet mine cleans it one time and then it dies. So that means every time I have to pull it out of the pool and recharge it. Living in AZ the pool has to be cleaned more often and when it starts to get really hot, this is gonna be a pain to go outside every other day to yank this thing out of the pool to charge it. I thought for the cost, this pool vacuum would be amazing, but it’s not.
Thank you for sharing your honest experience with the Aiper Scuba N1. We’re truly sorry to hear that the product did not meet your expectations and that you’ve encountered performance issues.<br /><br />We’d like to address your concerns seriously:<br /><br />Battery life & cleaning frequency: The "every 48 hours" mode you mentioned is designed to schedule automatic cleaning cycles, but it does require the unit to have sufficient battery power to run each cycle. If the cleaner stops after only one use, there may be a defect with the battery or charging system. That is not normal operation, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused, especially in a hot climate like Arizona where frequent cleaning is essential.<br /><br />Promotion & reviews: We never encourage paid or misleading reviews. Customer feedback—whether positive or negative—is taken seriously, and your honest input helps us improve our products and services.<br /><br />We would like to help resolve this for you. Please contact our after-sales team so we can arrange a replacement or repair for the battery/charging issue. You can reach us at service@aiper.com. Our support team typically replies within 24 hours.
Would NOT recommend
Unfortunately, I would not recommend this pool vacuum. We didn’t even have it for two months before it completely quit charging. Even before that, the battery life was disappointing. It didn’t run very long on a charge, and honestly, it didn’t vacuum very well either. We constantly still had dirt and debris around the edges of our pool after it finished cleaning. Thankfully, Sam’s Club was wonderful and let us return it for a full refund. We ended up purchasing a robotic pool vacuum from a different company, and the difference is literally night and day. Our new one is incredible and made us realize just how poorly this one was performing. For the price, I expected much better performance and definitely more than two months of use. I would not purchase this one again.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the charging failure you experienced after just two months, as well as your disappointment with the battery runtime and cleaning coverage along the edges of your pool.<br /><br />Providing reliable cleaning performance and durable products is our top priority, and we regret that your Scuba N1 fell short of expectations. While we are glad Sam's Club provided a seamless return process for you, we sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this caused.<br /><br />Your feedback regarding the charging reliability, battery life, and edge-cleaning coverage has been shared directly with our quality control and engineering teams to help us improve future designs.<br /><br />If you ever have any questions or need assistance in the future, please feel free to reach out to us directly at service@aiper.com.

Random Cleaning, No Improvement—Not Worth It
I purchased the Aiper Scuba N1 on my own—this review is not part of any promotion or incentive. Unfortunately, the performance has been disappointing. The vacuum did not clean my entire pool, and it doesn’t appear to use any real mapping or smart navigation technology. Its movement seems completely random. At one point, it stayed in the same section of the pool for about 20 minutes instead of covering new areas. I also contacted Aiper customer service and was told it can take up to six cycles for the unit to “learn” the pool. In my experience, that does not appear to be true—the unit does not learn or improve its coverage. That explanation was frustrating and misleading. Battery life is also an issue—it lasted under two hours in my experience, which wasn’t enough to finish cleaning my 40’ x 18’ inground pool. Another downside is handling the unit. Getting it in and out of the water is more of a hassle than expected, especially when it’s full and heavy. Based on this experience, I am returning the unit. Overall, I was expecting a more efficient and intelligent cleaning process, but this didn’t deliver.
Thank you for sharing your honest experience with the Scuba N1. We’re truly sorry that the unit did not meet your expectations, especially regarding navigation, battery life, and ease of use.<br /><br />Based on what you described—random movement, limited coverage, and runtime under two hours—this typically points to a possible issue with the navigation logic or battery performance. The unit should not stay in one section for 20 minutes, and the battery should last longer for a pool of your size. We also regret that the “learning cycle” explanation you received was confusing and did not reflect the actual performance.<br /><br />We want to make this right. Please reach out to us at service@aiper.com with your order details and a short video of the unit’s behavior in your pool. We’ll evaluate the situation and arrange a replacement or repair for you.<br /><br />We appreciate you giving Aiper a try, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused.
