As one of the better-performing cordless options, the Aiper Scuba S1 Pro utilizes WavePath 2.0 navigation to clean in systematic parallel lines rather than random patterns. The dual-filter system includes both fine and ultra-fine mesh to capture debris from leaves to sand particles. With 90-120 minutes of runtime, it can clean pools up to 1600 square feet in a single charge. The 20-pound design includes a built-in handle and hook compatible with standard pool poles for easier retrieval.
While cordless models generally have weaker suction than corded alternatives, the S1 Pro's 3600 GPH flow rate competes with some entry-level corded cleaners. However, the lithium-ion battery requires daily charging and may degrade over time, reducing runtime. Recent safety concerns about similar cordless models catching fire suggest caution when charging. For pool owners determined to avoid cords, the S1 Pro delivers capable cleaning performance, though its limitations in runtime and battery safety make corded models preferable for most users.
