Dolphin Escape
Score: 62/100
Aiper Scuba S1
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Aiper Scuba S1 is a high-end cordless robotic pool cleaner delivering industry-leading suction and a long 180-minute runtime. Its premium price and heavy chassis make it less suitable for budget-focused or portable users. Best for large in-ground pools needing thorough cleaning.
The Dolphin Escape features smart navigation and dual motors with a massive top-loading filter for comprehensive cleaning. It does not include waterline cleaning or app control, and its weight is relatively high. Suited for users wanting advanced navigation in standard in-ground pools.

Professional reviewers agree that the Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max sets a new benchmark for suction and runtime, delivering unmatched cleaning power for large in-ground pools. However, they also note its premium price, heavy chassis, and limited automation features as trade-offs that may deter budget-oriented buyers.
Consumers overwhelmingly praise the robot's thorough, spot-free cleaning and the freedom of a cordless system, but they consistently flag the heavy weight, long charge time, and the need for regular filter upkeep as pain points.
