Aiper makes cordless robotic pool cleaners, solar pool skimmers and smart irrigation for the garden. Its pool range splits into two jobs: robots that clean the floor, walls and waterline, and skimmers that float on top and catch leaves and pollen before they sink. Here's how to choose, and where the Experts Duo bundle fits.
Robot, skimmer or both?
- A robotic pool cleaner (the Scuba range) scrubs and vacuums the floor and, on most models, climbs the walls to the waterline. It runs on a battery, so there's no cable to tangle.
- A robotic skimmer (the EcoSurfer S2) floats on the surface and collects leaves, insects and pollen. It's solar-powered, so it can stay out on sunny days.
- Both together suit pools under trees or in windy spots, where debris lands every day. The skimmer catches it on top and the robot deals with whatever sinks.
What the specs mean
Runtime tells you whether the robot can finish your pool on one charge. Wall and waterline cleaning is where cheaper robots fall short, so check that the model you want lists walls and the waterline, not only the floor. Pool size ratings matter too: a robot rated for a small above-ground pool may not cover a large in-ground pool in one cycle.
Also check the filter. A larger basket means fewer stops to empty it, and a finer filter catches sand and fine dust. Look at how the robot ends its cycle: models that park at the waterline are much easier to lift out than ones that stay on the floor.
Aiper Experts Duo
The Experts Duo pairs the Scuba V3 robotic cleaner with the EcoSurfer S2 solar skimmer. Retailers list the Scuba V3 with up to 180 minutes of runtime, pools up to about 150 m² (around 1,600 sq ft), and a waterline stop so you can lift it out without a hook. The EcoSurfer S2 has a 150-micron filter and can be steered back to the edge from the app.
Aiper's US store listed the Experts Duo at $1,199.99 in October 2026, and its affiliate feed has a $200-off link for the bundle. Prices change often, so check the live price before you buy.
Scuba V3 Ultra, V3 and S3
If you only need a robot, the 2026 Scuba range in the US store runs from the Scuba S3 ($699.99) to the Scuba V3 ($899.99) and the Scuba V3 Ultra ($1,999.99), as listed in October 2026. The older Scuba X1, X1 Pro Max and S1 are still sold for in-ground pools, often in bundles with a skimmer or the Caddy stand. Pick the S3 for a smaller, simple pool, and step up to the V3 range for bigger pools, steps and more wall time.
Care and storage
Rinse the filter after every cycle and let it dry, since a clogged filter cuts suction fast. Charge the robot out of direct sun, and store it indoors over winter rather than leaving it by the pool. Give it a full charge and a test run before the season starts, because a battery left flat for months can lose capacity.
A robot cleans surfaces; it doesn't balance the water. Keep testing chlorine and pH as your pool's chemical instructions say, and see the CDC's healthy swimming advice for what to do if the pool is contaminated.
Shipping, returns and warranty
Aiper's US store offers free shipping on orders over $79, 30-day free returns and up to a 3-year product warranty. New customers can get up to $100 off their first order, and AiperPoints can be redeemed for coupons. See the Aiper deals page for current links.
Frequently asked questions
What's in the Aiper Experts Duo?
The Scuba V3 robotic pool cleaner for the floor, walls and waterline, and the EcoSurfer S2 solar-powered skimmer for the water surface.
Do I need a skimmer as well as a robotic pool cleaner?
Not always. A skimmer helps most if leaves, pollen or insects land in your pool every day, because it catches them before they sink.
Does Aiper have a coupon code?
Its affiliate feed has no code right now, but it does list $200 off the Experts Duo. New customers can also get up to $100 off their first order on the Aiper store.
What warranty does Aiper give?
Aiper's US store lists up to a 3-year product warranty and 30-day free returns.
