AIPER Cordless 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.

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.

DO NOT GET AIPER, even if you feel the price is less than other brands! -READ BELOW-UPDATE: I paid the company 89.00 after a few months my warranty expired so they said they would ship me out a new one to make me happy as a customer since the 1 year warranty was over ( However in their answered questions section it says 2 years, but yeah.) Anyhow,they sent me the cheaper model! not the same one I had originally purchased; talk about LETDOWN. And, it stinks even worse than the other model I originally purchased. Just watch the video, all it does is blow around the dirt!!! folks, get yourselves ANYTHING BUT AIPER. Customer service is lacking greatly lately.----BUYER BEWARE: At first I was happy with this product, however after 1 season and 1 year and two months later (after a long time not in operation- unit breaks) the unit does not work and it does not charge correctly. After contacting customer service (They make you send them a video of the issue) it seems they conveniently forgot I'm within my 2 year warranty and tried to charge me additional 89$ for a new one. Communicating with the Aiper customer service is slow, and via email. Meanwhile the pool is just getting dirtier while I wait for someone there to get their act in order. I spent 400 on this vacuum and it under performed. They are now selling it at 299 and probably for good reason, as the reviews 1-3 are right. I'm not sure about their other models but this smaller one is not worth it if it breaks so easily- invest in a stronger one by another company. The cleanings are not so easy either, don't fall for their pretty photos and marketing. Read all the 1-3 star reviews, and hopefully you don't have to deal with customer service which sounds like a foreigner with challenged English skills. This review will be updated if I get proper resolution and they actually replace the unit as is still under warranty. The clock is ticking-
