What long-term reviewers and owners report.
- In independent testing on an in-ground pool, the S1 Pro's real cleaning runtime came in around 90-100 minutes, short of what buyers might expect from a flagship-priced robot. thepoolnerd.com
- The Pool Nerd found the S1 Pro's suction weakens late in a cleaning cycle, pushing dirt around instead of picking it up. thepoolnerd.com
- Real-world runtime measured far below Aiper's 180-minute claim in The Pool Nerd's testing of the S1 Pro. thepoolnerd.com
What independent testers found
Named testers’ published figures, not ours.
| What | Finding | Tester |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime | Real-world runtime measured far less than 150 minutes (the maker's figure the tester quoted: claims 180 minutes of runtime) | The Pool Nerd |
| Runtime | About 90-100 minutes of actual cleaning time in a separate real-world test | The Pool Nerd |
| Debris pickup | Missed significant portions of the pool, especially corners and the waterline | The Pool Nerd |
| Noted | Suction weakened enough to push dirt around instead of collecting it, particularly late in a cleaning cycle | The Pool Nerd |
| Noted | Suction visibly faded as the battery drained during testing | The Pool Nerd |
- The Pool Nerd calls the S1 Pro the Aiper to buy for wall-and-waterline cleaning if the pricier X-Series is out of budget, despite its coverage and suction compromises. (Best Mid-Range) The Pool Nerd
- The Pool Nerd's comparison piece concludes the S1 Pro delivers weak suction despite its premium, over-$1,000 price point. The Pool Nerd
