Dolphin Escape
Score: 62/100
Aiper Surfer S2
Score: 70/100Rankings
The Aiper Surfer S2 combines solar charging with app-based scheduling, delivering up to 35 hours of operation and fine 150 µm filtration. Its bulkier build and modest propulsion make it slower than competing models. Suited for users who value hands-free, continuous surface cleaning and solar autonomy.
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.

Reviewers commend the Surfer S2 for its comprehensive cleaning suite-150 μm filtration, a generous 4 L basket, DebrisGuard™ and SolarSeeker™-and its convenient app control. However, they consistently point out that the robot feels chunky and under-powered, with 2.5-inch propellers struggling to move the heavier chassis, making it slower than competing models.
While formal consumer reviews are scarce, the limited Q&A data shows users are pleased with the fine-level filtration and strong suction port, and no major complaints have surfaced in the available sources.
