Delegate pool cleaning to the new Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max
Spring is here, and the weather is warming up, giving us hope that we’ll be lounging by the pool in no time. Well, the best way to prepare for the upcoming summer is to get an automated pool cleaner to take over the least pleasant job. The new Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max promises to deliver everything you could ever ask from such a device. Aiper’s new Scuba X1 Pro Max is the most advanced cordless robotic pool cleaner you can get right now. Even better, it’s also incredibly user-friendly, so you won’t have any issues figuring out how to set it up. There are 40 sensors in this robot and nine different motors that will help it map the pool to perfection and navigate the area with precision. The Scuba X1 Pro Max also delivers the world’s strongest suction at 8500 GPH thanks to all those motors, efficiently capturing everything in its path. There’s also a MicroMesh ultra-fine filter in place so none of the bugs, leaves, and debris in the water can escape. View Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max One of the best things about the Scuba X1 Pro Max is that it will clean your entire pool, leaving nothing behind. While some pool cleaning robots will only tackle the walls, floor and waterline, this one handles the water surface, too. The extremely high suction power isn’t just good at gathering up leaves, but it will also help the robot stay on the pool floor and adhere to walls to scrub algae and oil stains. This Aiper robotic pool cleaner has a cordless design and can run for up to 12 hours on a single charge when operating on the surface only, or 5.5 hours on the floor. Talking of which, the box includes a wireless charging dock so you won’t have to plug it in after every cleaning round. This will make your life much easier as you won’t have to dry it first—place it on the dock. While underwater, you can still communicate with the Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max, but you will need the HydroComm Pro. The app also makes it possible to choose the cleaning mode you want the robot to adopt, the cleaning power, and whether you want it to take a second pass. Plus, the thing is solar-powered, so you won’t even have to worry about charging it. If you worry about moving this robot around when it’s not busy cleaning your pool, you should know Aiper also has a Caddy you can buy. Combined, these make the Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max robot pool cleaner the ideal pick for those who dream about a true cordless design with underwater communication and cordless charging. Where to buy Scuba X1 Pro Max The Scuba X1 Pro Max is currently in its pre-order period until April 30th, and you can get it for $2,299 (down from $3,299). Act fast and the coupon code X9Launch200 will save you a further $200. Aiper will even throw in the Caddy for easier maneuverability. If you also want to get the HydroComm Pro, that will cost an extra $349, but it could prove to be worth every penny.  Pre-order Scuba X1 Pro Max and save $1,200 Pre-order Now
