The World's Best Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner

The Scuba S1 is the best choice for a user-friendly, cordless pool vacuum. Weighing under 20 pounds, it effectively cleans all types of debris from the floors, walls and waterline. It’s made by Aiper, the pool robotic cleaner brand that’s garnered Reddot and CES Innovation awards for its intelligent machines.

That’s the goal for Aiper, a tech brand that’s building the next generation of pool cleaning robots. The latest in this evolution is the company’s Scuba X1 Pro Max, a robot that takes hands-free to the next level with fully automated pool cleaning.

This unit was fully charged within two hours and didn’t miss any spots during cleaning. During testing, we were impressed that this unit was able to clean the tiles above the waterline, which isn’t common for all pool cleaners.

One of the best things about the Scuba X1 Pro Max is that it will clean your entire pool, leaving nothing behind. While some pool cleaning robots will only tackle the walls, floor and waterline, this one handles the water surface, too.

The Aiper Scuba X1 may be a newer model, but it’s already one of our favorite robotic pool cleaners. It’s equipped with five cleaning modes — floor, walls, cycle, waterline, and standard — two jets, and a filter basket and liner.

The Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max is one of the best pool cleaners on the market, and it’s one I really enjoyed testing.

To call this a beast would be an understatement. The X1 Pro Max sucks in 8,500 gallons of water per hour, more than any other robot we tested, and it boasts double the suction power of many of those 'bots.
