Our verdict
Aiper's most capable all-rounder for big pools, but factor in the accessory cost.
What we like
- Longest runtime in the range
- Adds surface cleaning
- The Pool Nerd's top-ranked Aiper
What to know
- Heavy (The Pool Nerd measured about 33 lb dry)
- Underwater app control needs the HydroComm Pro accessory, which The Pool Nerd says adds about $500
