Upgraded X-series pump power handles heavy wet oak leaves, sand, and twigs.
Captures fine silt, pollen, and dead algae that pass through standard cordless baskets.
Drop-in upright charging dock eliminates corroded metal charging pins.
Scrubs horizontally along the tile line in addition to floors and vertical walls.
Ultrasonic obstacle and wall detection optimizes coverage across freeform pools.
Select modes and weekly patrol schedules inside the Aiper app.
The Scuba X1 sits between the mainstream Scuba S-series and the flagship X1 Pro Max. It carries the dual-jet 6,600 GPH suction system and WaveLine 2.0 waterline cleaning without the surface-skimming hardware — and costs a lot less as a result.
The X1 reaches two inches above the waterline and holds a horizontal pass for a full 60 seconds. Sustained contact is what actually lifts the oil-and-sunscreen band; a robot that crosses the tile on the way up a wall never dwells long enough to shift it.
6,600 GPH through dual jets handles fine sand, pebbles and algae. That's flagship-class flow — the X1 Pro Max's advantage is 8,500 GPH plus surface skimming, not a different order of capability on the floor.
Aiper ships firmware updates over the air that adjust cleaning paths and adaptability. That's genuinely unusual at this price and means the machine you buy isn't frozen at its launch behaviour.
In this price tier, compare our Dolphin Quantum (roomy XXL MaxBin™, NanoFilters™, 60-ft swivel cord) for uninterrupted multi-year corded power.
