This popular water-loving robot will clean your pool like a pro — and it's 55% off for Prime Day
Like Rosie the Robot in a bathing suit, this little robot will de-gunk your pool, and you can stay dry when it's done.
What's the worst part of owning a pool? Easy: cleaning it. It's a shame no one has made a Roomba for pools yet. Wait, what? They have? Yep: the bestselling Aiper Seagull Robotic Pool Cleaner will run around the bottom of your pool vacuuming up loose debris, leaves and other gunk that you don't want to swim with or step on (yuck). Right now you can get it for a cool $135, down from $300, for Prime Day when you apply the discount code — that's 55% off.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
It's just about time to get your pool ready for a splash. The Aiper Seagull Robotic Pool Cleaner is marked down by 50%. While that's not the lowest price we've ever seen, it's still a darn good deal — and it means you'll spend a lot less time cleaning and a lot more time lounging.
Why do I need this? 🤔
All you have to do is set this little guy loose in the pool and it will take care of the mess for you. Once turned on, it'll clean for up to an hour and a half. It's ideal for above-ground pools or flat in-ground pools.
The Seagull SE has two dual-drive motors that let it power its way through the water and collect wayward trash and dirt. It's quiet, so you can run it while using the pool without distraction. The filter tray is reusable and simple to clean: Just rinse it with a hose and you're good to go. When cleaning is done, you don't have to dive into the pool to grab the Seagull SE — the included hook makes it easy to fish it out of the water.
Just to be clear: This bot is completely cordless. Place it on its charger when it's done, and it will be ready to clean again in just 2.5 hours. There are four LEDs to let you know things like how much juice is left or whether the filter needs to be cleaned. Maybe the coolest feature: It includes a chemical dispenser so you can keep the water balanced and purified without dumping everything in yourself. Goodbye, awful chlorine smell.
What reviewers say 💬
We all have better things to do than clean the pool. Over 6,000 five-star fans leave that chore up to the Aiper Seagull Robotic Pool Cleaner.
Pros 👍
One shopper raved about the ease of use. "I live in the woods and my pool is constantly under a canopy of maple trees and hemlock," said one verified reviewer. "And of course all kinds of critters dropping in the pool. I've hated constantly vacuuming the pool every other day. Now, all I have to do is drop it in the pool and let it go!! My only mistake was that I should have smoothed the liner out better. Other than that I love that little machine!! Worth every penny!!! We call him Nemo."
"We've been using the vacuum every other day to remove small leaves and wild cherries from the bottom of our pool and we love it!" shared another shopper. "The pool has a shady area with a large mimosa branch and a wild cherry tree with tiny little cherries. They fall into the pool constantly and it would be a pain to drag out the big vacuum daily. This little robot does a fantastic job of getting all of the mess, even getting the occasional pine straw that falls in. The only thing that it hasn't been able to suck is magnolia leaves. If you love your trees and your pool, this AIPER Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner is indispensable!"
One fan said it's "Hands down best pool product I own. If you own an above ground pool and don’t have this you’re working to hard. This thing picks up hair dirt silt EVERYTHING. And I’m about 7months in and it still runs for over the 120minutes that’s rated. Easily the most convenient pool accessory I’ve ever owned. Side note. It charges fast and I can run 2-3 times before a pool party if necessary."
Cons 👎
Although people love the Aiper, some say it doesn't get everything. "This little robot does a good job of getting small debris out of our above-ground pool, granted we don't have any trees or shrubs nearby so it's not a lot. Just wish the brushes could do a little bit more of a scrub to help with the brushing, but like I said it's not bad so this one helps us keep our pool clear and blue. The handle is easy to hook with a pole and cleaning and charging it is a breeze." said one homeowner.
Another customer said that it could use longer battery life. "This thing works as advertised my only complaint is that I wish the batteries would last about 10 minutes longer. Other than that it does a great job of cleaning up silt and small debris."
This little robot will de-gunk your pool, and you can stay dry when it's done — just fish it out of the water using the included hook.
