AIPER Automatic Pool Cleaner

Quad-Sponge Brushroll

Both the AIPER and the PAXCESS come with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR sponge brushrolls with two in the front and two in the rear. Two pairs of brushrolls mean extra-scrubbing power for better cleaning efficiency. Combined with an ultra-efficient motor that moves several dozens of gallons of water every minute and you’ve got an excellent robotic pool cleaner that’s made for any type of pool lining surface you may have.

Excellent at Climbing Walls

Like many high-end robotic pool cleaners on the market, the AIPER (and the PAXCESS) comes with a set of grippy tracks, not wheels, to patrol the base of your pool. These tracks along with the high-power motor also allow the robot to scale walls of up to 90° without tipping over to get at the water line. For a budget-friendly robotic pool cleaner, you really can’t ask for much more.

Quick-Paced Programmable Scheduler

The AIPER and PAXCESS both come with quick-paced programmable schedulers that automatically send the robot to begin its cleaning cycles every one, two, or three hours. This is a lot different from what you’d normally find. Most robots have cleaning schedulers programmed for every one to three days, so if you enjoy using your pool frequently, you’ll definitely love these robots’ quick-paced schedulers.

Dual Large Top-Loaded Filters

Inside of these robots are two oversized top-loaded filters that trap debris of various sizes, from super-fine algae to large leaves and acorns. Because the contents are separated into two different baskets, you won’t need to worry about them becoming clogged. Their baskets are top-loaded for quick access and cleaning.

PAXCESS Automatic Pool Cleaner

Intelligent Navigation

Both of these robots are equipped with intelligent navigation software that scan its surroundings to identify obstructions, walls, and stairs. It’s nothing as fancy as what you’d find in a Dolphin robotic pool cleaner, but also the PAXCESS Robotic Pool Cleaner does a pretty good job at sending the robot in all sorts of directions, even vertically to scrub the water line.

80-plus GPM Waterflow

As we mentioned earlier, both of these robots are able to scale climb steep walls with relative ease. This is because of the high-speed jets and filtration system that move more than 80 gallons of water every minute. Filtered water shoots out of the rear to propel it forward and vertically for improved mobility.

For 50-foot Inground Pools

Both of these robots are made specifically for inground pools of up to 50 feet in length and pools of any shape and surface material. Have a concrete, kidney-shaped pool? The PAXCESS will be able to handle the curves of your pool well thanks to its long anti-tangle power cord.

Plug-and-Play

These robots are extremely user-friendly. You don’t need a booster pump, and you don’t need to connect any long hoses or pipes to AIPER and PAXCESS. Instead, all you need to do is plug them into a standard wall out, position the control module close to your pool, drop the robot in, and press the power button. The controls are fairly easy to use, and anything you may not know can easily be found in their manuals.

Oversized Handle

When it comes time clean the filter baskets, you won’t need to jump into your pool to fish it out. Both of these robots come with an oversized top handle that makes picking up and removing the robot from your pool an effortless task. Also, water immediately comes pouring out of these robots from every orifice to reduce its water-weight significantly and quickly as soon as it surfaces.
