Aiper: Why We Chose Them for Your Pool

We do not stock a brand unless we would fit it ourselves. Aiper earned its place. Here is who they are, what they have won, and the three robot variants we sell.

Who are Aiper?

The short version: Aiper is the world’s number one cordless robotic pool cleaner brand by sales volume, and got there in under a decade.

Founded in 2017, Aiper set out to do one thing better than anyone else: take the chore out of pool cleaning. No cords, no hoses, no pump connections. Just a smart robot you drop in the water that cleans the floor, walls and waterline on its own. By 2025 they were the best-selling smart robotic pool cleaner brand in the world by units sold (source: Euromonitor International).

The awards, and there are a lot

This is the part that made the decision easy for us. Aiper’s kit is not just popular, it is decorated.

• CES Innovation Award honoree, three years running, in 2023, 2024 and 2025. CES is the biggest technology show on earth, and its innovation awards are judged by a panel of designers and engineers.
• Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award, two of the most respected product design honours in the world.
• Four TÜV Rheinland certifications for the Scuba X1 Pro Max, awarded at CES 2025. It was the first time TÜV Rheinland had ever given a pool cleaning robot that many certifications at once, covering Europe, the US and Canada.

That is a brand recognised for engineering and design at the highest level, not just marketing. It is the kind of proof we look for before we put something in front of you.

he three Aiper robots we stock

We sell three Aiper cleaners, covering a normal family pool up to a large in-ground pool. Here is which is which.

Scuba X1 Pro Max: the flagship

The one that won the awards. The Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max cleans the floor, walls, waterline and the water surface in one robot, which almost nothing else on the market does. The numbers back it up: 8,500 GPH of suction, among the highest of any cordless cleaner, nine brushless motors, up to 15 hours per charge, and 40 sensors with OmniSense+ 2.0 mapping to plan its own route. It charges wirelessly, so you can dock it wet with no corrosion risk. For large in-ground pools up to 3,230 square feet, nothing we stock cleans more thoroughly.

Scuba X1 Pro: the all-rounder

The Aiper Scuba X1 Pro gives you the same OmniSense+ AI mapping and 6,600 GPH suction, plus a mobile charging caddy to wheel it poolside and back. It handles complex shapes, ladders and waterlines without getting stuck. For most in-ground pools, this is the sweet spot between power and price.

Scuba P1 Pro: the smart-value pick

The Aiper Scuba P1 Pro is the one for a normal residential pool. It delivers 6,000 GPH of suction and up to 180 minutes of runtime, cleaning floors, walls and waterline hands-free, with WavePath 2.0 navigation and a 3-micron filter that catches sand and algae. Five app-selectable modes and a charging dock are

Why this matters for you

A robotic cleaner is one of those buys where the brand decides whether you are still happy in three years. Aiper is the market leader, its engineering is award-winning, and its robots do the job you bought them for: they clean the whole pool, on their own, without a cord in sight. That is why they are on our shelves, and why our own team is happy to fit and recommend them.
