Play Video Firstly, I have only used the Scuba once and it's far more complicated (modes and the AI used to attempt to cover the entire pool) than my other pool cleaner so I'll come back and post an update once I have more information. I'm also going to upload a short video. Unpacking: The unpacking was simple and it was extremely well packed so arrived pristine and arrived fast, I believe 2 days. Charging: This was simple, just pull out the rubber plug and plug in the electrical cord and it charges. Ready for the first voyage: I unplugged it from the charger and then refit the rubber plug. I brought it to my "small 3500 gallon" all tile pool and held the button for a few seconds, it turned on and I put it into the pool. Walls: It immediately started cleaning the walls, It wasn't perfect coverage but it did it's job and kept moving a bit to the right and then doing the next line on the wall. My other cleaner only does floors. Steps: I have a unique "Spool" that is 7x13x5.5'deep. You walk in on the one edge and there are a narrow series of steps that you follow down the short side of the pool and then turn and you're in the pool. The Scuba would make it's way up the wall and then across the step and then finish up the wall. Then it would work it's way back down, across the step and then down to the bottom and then would turn slightly to the right and do the next line. It would pause periodically to try to figure out what to do but always seemed to find a way off the steps even when one of the treads was not touching. Even in the corner it is a tight step but it managed to just fit. It fell sideways but eventually got itself back off the small step. I didn't give it hours in the auto mode to see if it would cover everything but perhaps next time I will. Floor: It wasn't spending much time on the floor and instead was working on the walls pretty much for 45 minutes or so. I decided time to crack open the manual for the first time and see what I could figure out. There are many modes. I believe it was in the full auto floor and walls mode but honestly, I didn't confirm the LED so I will have to try it again. However, I pressed the button a few times until it was set to floor only mode and put it back in the pool. I watched it for maybe 20 minutes and it was hard to determine what it's game plan was but it wasn't slowly covering inch by inch, it was moving around a bit erratic. There was a lot of noticeable dirt all over the floor so I decided to leave it be and go about another project I needed to work on. I came back about an hour later, so probably around 2 hours total run time, and it was still happily running and what's more, NOT A SPEC OF DIRT ON THE FLOOR! It cleaned everything spotless! Cleaning the dirt collection: I had a different pool cleaner that was much more difficult to clean out. This guy was dead easy. Lift the cover, pull out the screen/net basket (which had a ton of dirt and debris in it), and spray it down with the garden hose and you're good to go! Conclusion: I still have to fully take the covers off the pool and put the Scuba back in set to floor and wall mode and then just let it do it's thing. I thought I read that it can run for 90 minutes but I'm sure it was running much longer than that. I'll fully charge it and run it in full auto and see how it works. That said, it did a great job on the floor and seemed to be doing a nice job on the walls. Very impressed with the battery life.

I did my due deligence befor buying this (many video reviews on you tube). I chose this one over the more expensive model by the same company as I have a basic pool with a spa. This has 4 modes-eco (leave it in the pool and get 3 cleanings every 48 hours before needing to be recharged), wall+ floor mode, floors only, and walls only. This thing climbs walls and srubs the waterline. I got rid of my wall vac pool cleaner and now the skimmer has full suction to get the surface debris clean. Highly recommended at a reasonable price. I don't need wifi, smart fuctions as I just drop it in the pool and forget about it until it docks on the floor of my pool when finished cleaning. The hook provided makes it easy to retrieve. You wont be disappointed.

Update: Pobby from Aiper customer service reached out after reading my review and was very concerned for our poor experience. He sent us a new Seagull Pro unit. It has been a far better experience than the Scuba S1. The quality of the new unit is impressive and the software seems to work much better than the S1 as well. It now cleans our entire pool (40x20) very well with one charge. We are really enjoying the seagull pro and appreciate the outstanding customer service from Aiper. They seem to genuinely care about their clients' satisfaction. I highly recommend the Seagull Pro for most in-ground pools. Original: I have used this unit for the last 3 days in ever mode it offers so I could evaluate it fairly. It looked great, charged quickly & fully, it was very easy to use and battery life was better than I expected. Plus I loved the cordless unit and ease in and out of the pool and the price was very good, if it had worked. The good news ends there. It simply does not pick up dirt in the pool, not even pine needles or other small debris. It continued to go over and over the same areas but sadly didn't even clean where it went over. I have had 2 Aquabot robot cleaners for the last 12 years which both kept our pool spotless with very little service required. Unfortunately Aquabot is no longer the company they used to be so I am now looking for a new cleaner brand. All I know right now is that the AIPER Scuba S1 is NOT the answer. A total waste of my time. I considered trying the Seagull Pro model but will be buying a proven corded model to keep from wasting more time.
