AIPER EcoSurfer 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

The AIPER Surfer S2 Solar Powered Pool Surface Skimmer is easily one of my favorite pool devices! I love that it’s solar powered, so there’s no extra charger taking up an outlet—and it can run 24/7 without needing to be plugged in or recharged. This skimmer does an amazing job picking up debris, especially leaves. After several windy days in a row, I do need to empty the basket more often because it fills up quickly—but that just proves how effective it is! One of my favorite features is the built-in chlorine tablet holder, which is such a convenient bonus. I also love that my pool’s surface always looks spotlessly clean—no floating bugs or debris, ever. I did experience a minor issue when one of the fans stopped spinning, but Aiper’s customer support was outstanding. Their response was prompt, helpful, and resolved the issue quickly. Every interaction I’ve had with their customer service team has been positive. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this product and with Aiper as a brand. I will absolutely continue to recommend them!

We’ve been using the Aiper Surfer S2 for several months now, and it has completely changed how we maintain our pool. From the first use, it was clear this was a well-designed, high-quality product. Performance: The cleaning power is excellent. It consistently removes leaves, dirt, pollen, and fine debris, keeping the water clear with minimal effort on our part. It handles both large debris and smaller particles very well, and it rarely misses spots. Ease of Use: Setup was quick and straightforward. Once it’s in the pool, it runs smoothly and independently—no complicated controls or constant monitoring required. It’s truly “set it and forget it.” Build Quality & Design: The unit feels solid and well-made. It’s sturdy, durable, and clearly built to last. The filter basket is easy to remove and clean, which makes regular maintenance simple and fast. Battery & Efficiency: Battery life has been more than sufficient for full cleaning cycles. It finishes its job without needing frequent recharging, which is a big plus. Customer Support: Aiper’s customer service has been excellent—responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful.

It’s been a great investment for us, and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

After one summer of use, I can say that our Surfer S2 has been great. It did a good job of skimming the surface of our pool and keeping the surface clean. We found that it worked best to just leave it running 24/7, especially during times when blooms or other debris from our trees was actively coming down. It was a game changer from having to use a net all the time. It also helped reduce the amount of debris in the pool skimmer baskets. I also really like how it charges itself via the sun. This makes it almost care free. Never had to charge it all summer. It ran through the night and recharged itself during the day while running. There was only 1 problem. There is a spinning reel at the front of the unit that pulls material into it's hopper. This reel is supported by little ball bearings. One bearing completely failed on our original S2, causing the reel to freeze up. Aiper sent us a replacement S2. Never had any problems after that. Suspect it was just a bad bearing from the beginning. Really nice that they stand behind their product.

If you are considering this unit, buy it. I used this all season last year and did not realize how much small debris it would capture from just skimming. It ran all night and day due to the solar charging that kept it charged all day long. Without the sun, it holds a charge about 2-3 days while running in the pool. The reason why I purchased this unit is because the flap in the basket that stops trash from coming out of the basket when the unit goes backwards. This flap truly makes a difference when cleaning. I have a kidney shaped pool and the size is 38' by 16' and this does a perfect job. I don't have any pictures because it is winter, but if you are considering buying this, I highly recommend pulling the trigger.

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.

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.

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.
