Aiper - Scuba 800 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner for Flat Above-Ground Pools up to 860sq.ft, Automatic Pool Vacuum - White

As seen in photo, I live somewhere very prone to sand storms. Unfortunately this did not have the power to clean any significant amount of sand from the bottom of my pool. There are 2 very tiny non-rotating sweeper brushes and the filter is only a flat piece of removable mesh inside, not a fully enclosed receptacle to catch debris. When you use the included hook to remove the robot from the pool, the robot is pulled up vertically, so all the water and contents are dumped right back into the pool. I was also disappointed to learn that with the new Total Tech program, this item wasn’t covered for repairs/replacement since it was considered a special order online even though the item is not available in store. It previously would’ve been covered under the old Total Tech coverage. Great concept, but didn’t work for me, so I returned it to Best Buy.

Our friend recommended this pool robot I was hesitant at first didn’t really think it would work for Our above ground pool but it proved me wrong. It picked up all the fine debris including sand and bugs. It’s easy to use. Make sure it’s charged and let it do its job I would definitely recommend this.

[Employee of bestbuy] Our family really loves this product. Easy to set up and use. Our winter liner had a whole on it so we really needed help cleaning. This little guy, "scuba Steve " as we call him as a life saver. We have an above ground pool with some wrinkles in the bottom so he gets struck every once in a while. Only advice, when you use the hook to pull him out make sure you keep it level. Otherwise it might dump some of the items out

We have used this for about the last week or so. It is a nice novelty to have and it does a decent job of getting most of the dirt and debris on the bottom of the pool. But by no means gets it all. It doesn’t map your pool so it pretty much runs either into your wall or a stream of water from your pool pump and thinks it has reached the end and then backs up or goes forward depending on which direction it was going, we have a 21 foot round pool and it appears to make random passes across your pool. It tends to get some of the same spots more than once while missing other spots completely. It is nice to have in a pinch rather than vacuuming a pool but for spotless cleaning it does not work.

This little guy does a good job and tries hard to clean your pool. If you have an above ground pool and there are uneven places it frequently gets stuck and needs a boost which is very frustrating. Battery is plenty to do the job it’s designed for as long as it doesn’t get stuck.
