Im trying to decide between the Aiper scuba S1 & Wybot C1. My pool is rectangular very similar to yours. I have a 10’ 10’ tanning ledge about 9” deep that I was hoping the to get cleaned as well. Would you recommend one over the other? Great video! 👍🏽
My tanning ledge is a little taller than yours being about a foot deep. Yours a bit more shallow but I think both cleaners will still work. They both reach the tanning ledge well. What's great about both the S1 and C1 is that they both have weekly timers. If you have good wifi connection the Wybot C1 is a great deal. Otherwise, a more simply, physical controlled cleaner is the Scuba S1. More expensive but less range of error from wifi. Hope that helps! 👍
The pattern is dependant on the shape of your pool I'd say. If you have more of a curvier base as opposed to sharper angle you'd choose one pattern over the other. Only way to know which is best is to test it for your specific pool really
Thank you, David, for this review, I have returned WYBOT Osprey 700 back to Amazon, and bought the Aiper Scuba S1, but I will buy this WYBOT C1 too from Amazon for $599 and with $200 coupon, so it is only $399, such a good deal!
To be honest, I compared the functions and parameters of these two models. They are basically the same. They can both clear walls and pool bottoms. However, the price of wybot C1 is $180 less than Aiper scubaS1. With the same warranty period, I chose wybot C1 and it works good.
The C1 is a better price point but very wifi dependent if you want to control the modes and the weekly timer. As long as it stays on sale and you have a good wifi connection, yes I totally agree!
If your deep end isn't too big I'd go for the C1 because of that weekly timer function. But if you have a bigger deep end, the Crab would climb it better overall, it's more aggressive in climbing.
Out of the C1 and the Scuba S1 I prefer the S1. It's more user-friendly on the cleaner itself. The wybot is easy to use as well but you need to connect to wifi to access features
Hey David as far as performance what do you think is better the c1 or scuba s1? I have the scuba but I’m just curious. I know the other has the app feature but just trying to see as far as suction and picking up dirt.
The Scuba S1 seems stronger or more aggressive I should say. But I wish either or both of them had an ultra-fine filter or at least an option for one but they don't.
Would you say this robot + the betta skimmer is the best setup for pool maintenance factoring in price as well? The beatbot has the features to do everything but at over $2k it's a little much considering both of these can be bought for under $1k.
Totally! The combo of a CORDLESS cleaner with an automatic pool skimmer is what I use during swim season. For the cost, if you already have one of those type of cleaners, I would definitely not get the Aquasense Pro. Invest in the other type of cleaner and save a lot of money!
@@imdefinitelydavid I ended up ordering the new Aiper Scuba S1 as well as their Surfer robot for the surface skimming. With the discounts they currently have I was able to get both for under $1k and I figured it would be easier to have both products from the same brand in regards to ease of use with 1 app.
Maybe I’ll consider this one but my wife is really into the Polaris being that Leslie pools sells them and I believe will fix them if something goes wrong I’m not sure but we have a Leslie’s pool close by
I understand that, a decade ago all I bought were Maytronics and Polaris models. I still use my Polaris 360 to this very day during specific times of the season. Hopefully with all this competition from other brands, maybe Polaris and other big names will at least lower their prices?
Is it so hard to use one that just uses the pool suction? Can't fathom why I'd want an electric one of these when I've seen plenty of others that do just fine and I don't need a stupid app.
It all depends on your pool setup, budget and how much work you want to do. Suction cleaners work off the water flow of your pool so they're only effective when the pump is on. So robotic cleaners are a good option since it's a separate power source. Suction cleaners are also very inexpensive compared to robotic cleaners so they're a great budget choice. Suction cleaners are much less work because most people leave them in the pool all the time, whereas robotic cleaners, you will be taking it in and out much more often. But hands down, the main reason probably, a robotic cleaner cleans MUCH better overall than any suction cleaner I've ever used. It captures more debris you can't see and able to reach areas of the pool suction cleaners don't.
They have not fixed the issues with the app. Just look at the reviews in the Apple store. Just bought this product based on your review. Looks like I'm stuck with a $400 paper weight. You should do a how to video on how to get the app to work once it stops.
When the rep contacted me about it, they literally said "oh great, you've already used the 700, this is similar but with an improved app". So yes, I would say so. But also, the S1 of last year also seems similar to it.
Funny you ask about the Zima Pro... I have one on the way and will be reviewing it soon! On paper it looks great and I can't wait to test it. The main difference between it and other cleaners is that it SHOULD stay connected to wifi all the time since it has the floating piece above the water. This changes things and opens up a few features if it works... I'm excited!
Awesome I had asked about if the fan was enclosed so debris doesn't get wrapped around maybe you can double check on that the rep said it was...for me it's between the zima and the waybot s 1 thank you for everything
I prefer the C1 over the Niya 50 to be honest. The C1 has more bang for the buck and a weekly timer option. The Niya 50 has the benefit of the bigger name brand though. But performance wise, for the cost, I prefer the C1.
The only way Wybot and Aiper get serviced is through themselves. You have to reach out to their customer service online. There are no physical retailers that service their cleaners unfortunately. Also, I've heard that they take forever to respond. I haven't had that issue but they usually respond to me quickly
I can't say for sure, I've seen the c1 try and climb a ledge with only 6 inches of water and it won't go over the edge/ontop of the ledge. So I'm going to assume that yes, it can be used in an infinity pool but I can't say for sure, sorry!
Unfortunately no, I reached out to Wybot and they don't have an option for it and don't plan on it. Companies do this so we're forced to look at higher end versions that cost more money sadly 😥
For a cordless cleaner? The only best bang for buck cordless cleaner with ultra-fine filter I've used to date is the Seauto Shark. All other ones with the UFF are at the 1k+ mark. I wish there were more affordable cleaners with the UFF included.

@@MrRitter1927 Im debating..Is the Aiper working well?

I got mine today and very impressed so far. Does the cleaning pattern matter much? If so, can you make a recommendation which may be most effective?

@@imdefinitelydavid the price differential is no longer a major issue as the price of the suction vacs are in the $300-400 range.
7:51 will it work with a pool with 8 foot deep end 8:03

So is this meant to replace the Osprey 700? It seems very similar.

Is the fan enclosed? I Haye a dolphin because I have to clean it everyday because some grass on the bottom of pool
You mean the outlet that water comes out of? If so, no it's not covered. It's where the water exits so it has to be open.
Thank you ,apparently then all the robots have just a open cover over the fan. What are your thoughts on the Zima Pro robot?
Funny you ask about the Zima Pro...

I've used a few wybots too so I'm excited to try that Zima Pro and see how it compares.
how would you compare the wybot c1 to niya sonar 50?

Hey to do you if it is compatible with infinity pools ?
I can't say for sure, I've seen the c1 try and climb a ledge with only 6 inches of water and it won't go over the edge/ontop of the ledge. So I'm going to assume that yes, it can be used in an infinity pool but I can't say for sure, sorry!
Can you upgrade the filter?
Not on the C1, they don't have an option for it. The next step up with filter upgrade would be the S2 and it's double the price.
Will it work with 8 foot deep end?
I've tested it in a friend's pool with 8 foot deep of water and yes, it does!
I can’t connect from my WiFi
In the video you say it doesn’t have an ultra fine filter but Is it possible to get an ultra fine filter for this after the fact?
Unfortunately no, I reached out to Wybot and they don't have an option for it and don't plan on it. Companies do this so we're forced to look at higher end versions that cost more money sadly 😥
