Key Features

✓Frequent Recharging - We found the need for constant recharging inconvenient. Unlike robots with a Weekly Timer that operate automatically, the Scuba N1 requires daily recharging for a full clean.
✓Insufficient Vacuuming Power - During our tests, the Scuba N1 struggled to clean small debris and dirt effectively, leaving behind a significant amount for us to manually remove.
✓EcoMode Limitations - The EcoMode feature allows the robot to run three times for 45 minutes each every 48 hours. However, this wasn't sufficient to keep our pool clean and couldn't keep up with falling debris. Investing in a robot with a Weekly Timer is a better choice.
✓Suitable for All Pool Types - While the Aiper Scuba N1 works on all pool types and cleans from the floor to the waterline, its performance fell short compared to corded models.
✓Weaker Motor Performance - The cordless design results in weaker motor performance compared to corded counterparts, as observed in our testing.
✓Manual Operation Required - The 4-hour charging time for only 2.5 hours of cleaning was cumbersome. We had to run it multiple times to achieve a complete clean, and the long recharge time added to the inconvenience.

Questions & Answers

Common questions about the Aiper Scuba N1

Why won't this cleaner climb the walls?

Above-ground robotic pool cleaners are designed to clean the floor only. In-ground cleaners with wall-climbing capability are built differently; check your model's specs for floor-only vs floor, walls, and waterline.

How long do robotic pool cleaners last?

With proper care and normal use, most robotic pool cleaners last 3–7 years. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, pool chemistry, surface type, and whether you store and maintain the unit as recommended.

Can I leave my robotic pool cleaner in the pool?

It's best to remove the cleaner after each cycle and store it in a shaded, dry place. Leaving it in the pool can expose it to sun, chemicals, and debris, which can shorten its life.

Do robotic pool cleaners need to be plugged in?

Most plug into a standard 120V outlet via a low-voltage cable and control unit. A few models are cordless and run on a rechargeable battery; check your product's specifications.

How often should I run my robotic pool cleaner?

Running it 2–3 times per week is typical for many pools. Heavy debris, high use, or large pools may require more frequent runs; smaller or covered pools may need less.

Why is my robotic pool cleaner not moving?

Check that the power supply is on and the cable isn't tangled or caught. Ensure the filter basket isn't overfull and that the unit isn't stuck on a step or drain. If it still doesn't move, refer to the manual or contact support.

Do I need to use my pool pump when running the robot?

No. Robotic pool cleaners run on their own power and filtration. You can run them with the pump off, which can save energy compared to pressure or suction-side cleaners.

What voltage does a robotic pool cleaner need?

Most residential robotic pool cleaners use a standard 120V outlet. The control box steps this down to low voltage for the floating cable. Check your manual for your model's requirements.

Can I repair my robotic pool cleaner myself?

Simple tasks like cleaning filters and unclogging impellers are usually fine. For motor, cable, or electronics issues, use an authorized technician or the manufacturer's support to avoid voiding the warranty.

What's the difference between cartridge filters and a debris bag?

Cartridge filters are reusable: you rinse or wash them and put them back. Debris bags are often disposable or optional for heavy leaf pickup. Some robots include both; check your model for options.

How long does the Aiper battery last on one charge?

Runtime depends on the model and pool size. Many Aiper cordless units run about 90–150 minutes per charge. See your product's specs for exact runtime and charging time.

Do Aiper robots work in above-ground pools?

Some Aiper models are for above-ground pools only; others are for in-ground or both. Check the product description and manual for your pool type before buying.
