Aiper Scuba V3 Ultra vs Beatbot AquaSense X

Aiper rates it for sun shelves and shallow areas down to 7.9 in (20 cm), with anti-fall sensors on the ledge.

Beatbot rates it for platforms and large stairs in water as shallow as 14 inches, with a minimum platform area of 3.3 ft x 3.3 ft.

Aiper sells it as a cleaner and skimmer in one, with a surface pass rated at up to 8 hours per charge.

The app offers schedules and the Navium auto-planner, but no user-defined trigger and action rules and no link to other smart home devices.

The app keeps a log of past cycles, including the debris the cameras identified during the run.

The app logs each session with its runtime, battery use and the area covered.

On top of manual schedules, Cognitive AI Navium mode writes a weekly plan on its own from the cleaning history, the pool's usage and the local weather.

MicroMesh multi-layer filtration: a 180 µm layer for leaves and twigs and a 3 µm ultra-fine layer for silt and pollen.

Aiper names no Apple Home support, and with no Matter certification there is no bridge into the Home app either.

Beatbot names Siri, which is app level voice control, and never Apple Home or HomeKit, and the robot is not Matter certified.

Two community HACS integrations talk to the Aiper cloud, but the one that publishes a device list covers the Scuba S1, X1, Surfer S2 and P1 Pro, not the V3 Ultra.

No Aiper product appears in the CSA certified product search, and Aiper claims no Matter support.

No Beatbot product appears in the CSA certified product search, and Beatbot claims no Matter support.

Aiper names no SmartThings support, and the robot is not Matter certified, so the automatic Works with SmartThings path does not apply.

Beatbot names Google Home, Alexa and Siri as its only smart home integrations, and the robot is not Matter certified.

Two front cameras give stereo depth over a 6.6 ft detection range and recognise more than 20 types of debris and obstacles.

Auto Surface Retrieval brings it up at the end of the cycle and holds it at the waterline until it is lifted out, with no hook needed.

The wireless dock sits at the pool edge, so the robot parks itself at the waterline and the owner lifts it onto the dock to charge.

The AstroRinse station sits on the deck, so the robot parks itself at the surface and the owner lifts it onto the station.

Aiper pairs the dual cameras with an ultrasonic sensor, which is what keeps the path planning working in cloudy water and at night.

Aiper lists the Scuba V3 Ultra under Robotic Pool Cleaners for In-Ground Pools, and rates it for concrete, fibreglass, vinyl and stone surfaces.

A magnetic wireless dock charges the robot with nothing to plug in, so there are no exposed contacts to corrode.

The AstroRinse station charges the robot wirelessly at 88 W once its filter cleaning cycle is done.
