AIPER Surfer S2 Solar Powered Pool Surface Skimmer Robot with APP Support, 24/7 Continuous Cleaning, Dual Charging Modes, Smart Obstacle Avoidance, 150-um Filtration, OTA Upgrade

I’ve got three Aiper pool robots, this, Scuba S1, and Seagull pro; I’m happy with them all, but this one is my favorite. First, I want to get the one negative con out of the way, and I hope Aiper sees this: The one negative is that I have three Aiper pool robots, all manufactured and bought within the same year, and each one uses a different adapter and different plug design. Why Aiper? Pick one adapter, pick one water proof charging plug design, and stick with it! This is an unnecessary pain for the customer, and is surely leading to a manufacturing inefficiency on your side. My adapter for this Surfer stopped working; I should be able to use one of the other Aiper adapters, but no, they are all very different. With that out of the way and hopefully in the hands of the design engineers… this Surfer robot is a nearly perfect design and has been a game changer on the work involved in pool maintenance. It might be a waste for someone with a pool in a birdcage, but with mine out in the elements, the Surfer has vastly reduced the amount of leaves and debris that makes it to the bottom of the pool. I only have to touch the Surfer once a week to clean the filter basket, but otherwise, due to the large batteries and solar panel, it runs 24/7, with no intervention from me. After six months, my charging adapter stopped working, but charging is unnecessary until this winter; as of now, the summer sun is enough to keep it running 24/7. I gotta say the app is nice too… it actually features a live meter of how strong the sun is, so you know how well the robot is being charged. Of course it also shows how much battery charge is left. They recently added a new feature to pause, so it can stay on to be recharging, without the motors draining the battery… that would be handy in places or seasons without strong sun, to allow it time to be charged by the panel. But the Florida summer keeps it running 24/7 without having to pause or plug it in.

The Surfer S2 has been wonderful for me. It has performed as intended and it’s living up to all my expectations. I have a tree that sheds off all leaves during fall transition and the Surfer has been a great time saver picking up all that debris and leaves before they sink to the bottom of the pool. I love the scheduling feature as it allows to save on battery life for continued unlimited cleaning. I love that it picks up all size debris from leaves to worms and just about anything. Only one comment I have is that I have been seeing a decrease in cleaning capacity before charging the battery maybe due to the total winter months in my area ( we are getting a lot of the winter with very little sun and my two story house blocks the sun partially during the day). But other than I have to charge a bit more often, the product has saved me a lot from the burden of cleaning my pool surface. Thank you for a wonderful product.

We live in Connecticut, so our pool season is rather short. And we have a lot of large trees on our property and nearby neighbors. Keeping the pool surface clean can be a challenge at certain times of the summer, even though our pool has two skimmers. Husband sent me a link to this product and I thought we would give it a try. We could not be happier! Our pool gets great sun, so we did not have to manually charge this all season. Sun did all the work. We are also amazed how well this works. I work from home, and some days I feel like I could be out there every 15 minutes skimming leaves and stuff not getting picked up by our skimmers. The Surfer S2 handled all that for me, and so nice to step outside and see a clean pool surface. It is relatively easy to clean. I would highly recommend. We have a few friends who have purchased based on our recommendation and they too love it. We liked the Surfer S2 so much that we purchased the Scuba vacuum as well. It too works nicely, but a little less convenient as it requires charging after each use. I guess hard to solar charge something that spends all its time at the bottom of your pool. I will leave a separate review on that. AIPER Support has been great as well, responding quicky to questions and proactively reached out asking for feedback on their products. I honestly cannot recommend this product enough.

Works beautifully! Charged in no time at all and immediately cleaned pool surface. Solar charges perfectly and runs continuously. Only drawbacks are “pool noodle” diverter in skimmer outlet that gets chewed by wall scrubber from pool vacuum and flimsy handle on basket. Aiper graciously already replaced basket.

Overall it has been doing a great job skimming the top of the water. I had no issues setting up the app and programming a schedule for it. It appears to do a great job getting everything off the pool surface. I should note my pool has no immediate trees around it so it mainly only skims for bugs and little things. Seems to do just fine for that. So far it has been keeping a charge via solar with no extra plug in time needed. It does a good job skimming the full surface by constantly changing directions. A couple issues I have noticed that are more unique to my situation but others should be aware of if they have the same. I have a corded underwater cleaner and this skimmer consistently gets caught on the other cleaners cord. I have a swim deck section on my pool. Due to a known leak that has not been fixed yet, the water level goes up and down somewhat frequently. I have to switch this skimmer back and forth between having the legs down and not having the legs down depending on the water level. I have found there is a sweet spot on the water level with the legs down that the skimmer will still climb up onto the swim deck and get itself stuck. Lastly, if you have the return jets turned up at a higher discharge this skimmer may struggle. I have noticed that when driving straight at a return jet, they will push the skimmer backwards even though the propellers are trying to push it forward.

So I've used this solar powered pool cleaning device since opening my pool. It has worked flawlessly. Who would have thought this little robot would be so darn awesome. This is a mid range peace of kit. It has some good features and software that elevates it above some of it's competition. With a 36h battery life and ease of use. This might be the ultimate companion for those days where you want to enjoy you're pool instead of cleaning it. The build: This product is built with dense high precision molds that are designed to be fully submersible. It boasts high precision spacial awareness sensors that can navigate many types of surfaces. These include flat, decline, incline, walls, rounded and stairs. The cleaning heads offer surface and side scrubbing actions. The robot also sucks in small to medium sized debris with ease. As scene on the pictures above the bottom roller treads are suction based and offer a smooth transition from floor to walls. Without damaging you're pools cover. The recharging receptacle is fully inclosed in a water tight gasket preventing any leaks and potential moisture damage. The large detritus basket is easy to remove and features micro mesh technology. Optimizing water clarity and offering a superior micro particulate sieve. The latest model offers an upgraded back door design. Specifically used in manual mode when performing backtracking maneuvers. The other version would sometimes spit out leaves and other particulates. Thanks to this welcome upgrade that is a thing of the past. Cleaning modes: There are 2 cleaning modes to choose from. Auto, and manual. 1 Auto Mode cleans the entire pools surface..then docs the vacuum close to the edge for easy access. 2 Manual mode: Allows you to control the robot directly via the app. You can guide it's path in real time. In use: I have tested this unit for the past 2 months without any hiccups. It has been consistently good and does it's job with minimal effort. I have tested in in my own above ground circular pool and my sisters in ground rectangular pool. It performed great in both circumstances. Offering the same level of leaning power. For all the good there was a handful of times that the robot got confused on my sisters regular stairs. After turning it off then back on it worked fine after recalibration. Since this is a battery operated machine it takes it's time and might be a bit slow for some users. Cleaning my sisters 28L buy 10W foot pool took almost 1h50mins. This included the walls and surface. In my modest 24 foot above ground pool it took 1hour. Witch is pretty good especially considering, I only had to empty the basket once. In the fall it needed more frequent emptying around 2 to 3 times per use. Since I have many trees on my property. . The unit also charges in the sun offering a constant cleaning solution with even less fuss. This is especially true if you have no trees in you're yard. Yet with the constant shade my unit needed to be topped up at the end of a hard days work. Final thoughts: If you are looking for the robot that could. Then look no further THEN the AIPER surface s2 solar. The ultimate pool cleaning solution. Stop stressing and start relaxing this summer. No worries when guest come over for that all important pool party. The top will be sparkling clean.

The AIPER Surfer S2 arrived in a well-packaged box, and I was immediately impressed by its sleek, futuristic design. The solar panel on top is a standout feature, emphasizing its eco-friendly appeal. The build quality feels sturdy, and the compact size makes it easy to handle. Setup was straightforward, with clear instructions and minimal assembly required. Setting up the AIPER Surfer S2 was a breeze. Simply charge it via USB for the first use, place it in the pool, and let the solar panel do the rest. The app guides you through the initial setup and pairing process. Once in the water, the skimmer gets to work immediately. It moves quietly and efficiently, covering the entire pool surface without missing spots. The smart navigation system ensures it avoids obstacles, and the app provides real-time updates on cleaning progress. Emptying the debris basket is quick and easy. The basket is large enough to hold a significant amount of debris, reducing the frequency of cleaning. The skimmer is made from high-quality, UV-resistant materials that withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and pool chemicals. After weeks of use, it shows no signs of wear or damage. The solar panel remains efficient, and the internal battery holds a charge well. Minor Drawbacks: 1. While the solar panel is a great feature, it’s less effective on cloudy or rainy days, requiring more frequent USB charging. 2. The skimmer doesn’t handle debris at the bottom of the pool, so you’ll still need a separate pool vacuum for thorough cleaning. 3. Occasionally, the app loses connection with the skimmer, requiring a restart to The AIPER Surfer S2 Solar Pool Skimmer is a fantastic investment for pool owners who want to keep their water clean with minimal effort. Its solar-powered operation, smart navigation, and app support make it a standout choice for modern, eco-conscious households. While it’s not without its flaws (solar dependency and surface-only cleaning), its efficiency and convenience more than make up for them. Skip If: - You need a skimmer that also cleans the bottom of the pool. - You live in an area with limited sunlight and prefer a non-solar option. Pro Tip: Use the skimmer in conjunction with a pool vacuum for a spotless pool from top to bottom. Schedule cleaning sessions via the app to ensure your pool is always ready for a swim!

This review is for the AIPER Surfer S2 Solar Pool Skimmer with APP Support, 24/7 Cleaning, Dual Charging Modes, Smart Obstacle Avoidance, Ideal for All Swimming Pool Types. I received it earlier in the Summer, and it's done a fantastic job throughout, but in the fall is where I'm really reaping the benefits. My neighbour has some deciduous trees, and it's one the the earliest to drop it's leaves. We have still had some really warm days so I'm hesitant to close the pool. This Beast has been great at scooping the surface garbage before it goes underwater. The sun isn't as strong as in the height of summer, but the panel gets enough to keep it going. The skimmer is relatively easy to handle and scoop out of the pool. Emptying the filter is also easy. I don't use the Bluetooth, and it does a great job getting around the pool and hitting all the spots.

This thing keeps my pool so clean with barely any effort. It runs quietly, charges on its own, and the app support makes it easy to monitor. I didn’t expect to love it this much, but I do.

I’ve only ever used another brand of premium pool cleaning robots, but am pleasantly impressed with the quality of this unit. It’s very light and works very well even in tight spaces. The unit is very easy to clean and I am very happy with the Aiper brand. The app was easy to setup and we have had no issues with this unit so far. Very good value for the price.
