AIPERCordless Robotic Pool Cleaner, Cordless Pool Vacuum Robot with Dual-Drive Motors, Self-Parking Technology, 90 Mins Cleaning for Above/In-ground Pools with Flat Floor up to 861 sq.ft

I did a lot of research on different pool robots, and I found this to be the most practical for my type of pool. I have an inground concrete pool (28' x 15') with a gradual slope to the middle (4' deep on each end, 5' in the middle) and a pebble tec surface. We had a pool cleaner with paddles and all it did was leave wheel tracks in the dust and dealing with the hose was annoying. We live in AZ where it is super dusty and stuff flies into the pool from neighborhood trees. I really wanted a cleaner that had a brush on the bottom and great suction that would not get hung up on the floor drains (there are 2 drains that are probably 1"H and 7" diameter) or flip over unexpectedly.It does take 6 hours to charge but I can usually plan when I need it. I had read other reviews where some people charged it half the time and then ran it, I haven't tried that. It runs for about 80 minutes on a full charge. I submerge it in the water while holding onto the rope, then turn it on, and lower it to the bottom. It takes off and does its job. I've used it weekly since March and no complaints. It picks up sand, pebbles, (we just had an acid wash done and didn't realize how many loose pebbles were on the bottom till I ran it) leaves, tree needles, seeds, etc. As for picking up dust, it picks it up but it does get out.Initially, I had some struggles with the right cleaning setting, but I have it to where it does a fantastic job. For my rectangle pool, using the setting of 0 on one end and 20 on the other, the robot was not covering all of the areas. Seems like the reason was because it could roll up the sides slightly and the water would get under it and sweep it in a different direction causing it to go over the same area for like 15 minutes. I changed the setting to what is used for oval pools (20 degrees left on one end and 20 degrees right on the other end) and now it covers all areas. So far, very happy with this and no complaints. I love this thing, worth the money for the convenience that it offers.

The media could not be loaded. Updated Review:After I completed my one-star review, I requested that Amazon refund my money. Amazon did and sent someone from UPS with a label to get the first vacuum. I called Aiper customer service as well. Iris, from the Aiper Customer Experience Team read my negative review on Amazon and reached out via email. She offered a brand new one—free of charge! It came and it worked more than once, beautifully—I uploaded a new video. I suggest you buy this. It is hassle-free and does a great job of cleaning my 30-foot, round pool. If yours stops working, for any reason, contact Aiper and ask for a return and refund via Amazon right away! On a side note, Iris was kind enough to send accessories like a large skimming net with a brush, another smaller net and brush, and a floating, chlorine tablet holder. I definitely am impressed with their speedy customer service to make this right, so I changed my review to five stars. I recommend you definitely buy this if you’re on the fence!Previous Review:It worked well one time. Then it would not charge or turn back on—just blue light blinking fast on unit (see video). I just reached out to the company, and I was told I will be receiving an email with some type of correspondence in order to get a replacement. I asked the customer service rep. if this occurs often—meaning it only works once and then will not work again, and she said, “Yes. That’s why we will send you a brand new one.” I will update my review if I get a brand new one and if that one works continuously.*Update: I called the company, and the rep. said she’d email me the information needed in order to get a new one. I never received the email, so I just asked for a refund from Amazon. I had to return the unit in the original packaging, and UPS had a label and picked it up.

I'm in South Africa and ordered it because 1) my pump loses prime when vacuuming, and 2) you don't get cheap cordless pool cleaners in my country.So it does the job and so far runs for the full 90 mins. It doesn't filter very fine dust but at least it sucks it up into the water so most of it can go to the pump. I think it will be the same for more expensive robots like this, because the finer your filter mesh, the more sucking power you need.The on/off turning knob got stuck and when I applied force with a waterpump plier, it broke. Once again, I think this could be a general problem with any pool cleaner with this type of knob. Luckilly I could easilly disassemble it so I could fix the knob with superglue. You don't have to disassemble past the waterproof unit to get the knob out, it works externally with what seems to be induction wiring, which is nice.I won't recommend this product if you have a perfectly working pump vacuum, but it is cheap enough to at least keep your pool floor decently clean if you struggle with your pump suction. And it's a cute little thing to watch.
