Aiper - EcoSurfer M1 Solar Powered Automatic Robotic Pool Skimmer Cleaner, Lasts 12 Hours, App Control, Ultrasonic Detection - White

This robotic skimmer is a good concept but Aiper falls short with this product. I love their N1 pool vacuum but this guy has sensors that keep it from getting close to the walls, where most leaves are the surface gather. So it brushes past them and often has leaves trailing it in its wake. It also has so little power that you can't run it while your pool's built-in skimmer is on because it will get sucked into and block your skimmer. The solar power feature is cool but the unit turns on unexpectedly while it's charging in the sunshine on the pool deck thereby depleting its power. It's also relatively difficult to unlatch the top to dump the leaf basket, which also has a terrible upside-down design that makes it inconvenient to use. It also has a nearly worthless app. Aiper needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Photo shows this one as I'm preparing it for return.

I've been a dedicated Aiper user with several of their devices, and I can confidently say this is a great device that has made my pool maintenance simple and effective. It performs flawlessly and is incredibly easy to use. The battery life is particularly impressive; operating in the intense Las Vegas sun, I found that it lasted for multiple days without needing a charge, significantly exceeding the typical listed run-time. Beyond the product itself, the customer service team at Aiper deserves epic recognition. When I ran into some frustrating technical issues, I was lucky enough to work with two representatives, Raven and Lem. They demonstrated an incredible commitment to ensuring I had a working device. They went above and beyond, providing detailed support, helping me resolve complex issues, and even assisting me in getting a replacement part for another device. Their proactive and attentive communication was what truly set them apart. It's rare to find a company that produces excellent products and has customer service that genuinely stands behind them. They turned a complicated situation into an overwhelmingly positive support experience. Make sure you give your robot a clever name, it always makes it more fun when you have a poolbot, We call our Hank 10, the Surferbot

Very nice product. Works perfectly for getting all the gas trimmings and bugs that like to float. Also runs very quietly so that’s a plus

This pool skimmer is exactly what I needed. I have leaves and tree debris that falls in my pool and this skimmer gets it all. My pool is finally clean. It does a great job and I love the solar charging! Also this design is very sleek and looks very modern. I highly recommend this product and my neighbor just bought one too.

Does what it's supposed to do. Picks up that annoying pollen as well as leafs, sticks, feathers, bugs, etc. I like it so much I'm thinking about surprising my parents with one.
