Dolphin Nautilus Pool-Up
Score: 70/100
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 Nautilus Pool-Up robot combines smart navigation, wall-climbing and an active scrubbing brush for thorough cleaning of pools up to 26 ft. Its heavier weight and missing warranty details may deter users seeking easy portability and guaranteed support. Suited for owners who prioritize cleaning performance over lightweight convenience.

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.
