Spec-based review: scored from Aiper's published specifications with the same weights as every other robotic skimmer cleaner. Not a hands-on test. How we score.

Our take

The Aiper EcoSurfer S2 Cordless Robotic Pool Skimmer is a solar-assisted robotic surface skimmer from Aiper. It works the surface, moving in a pattern its maker doesn’t describe, and has a companion app. A charge lasts up to 2100 minutes and takes about 5 hours to refill.

On paper it scores 7.3 out of 10 (good) against other robotic skimmers. Its strongest areas are runtime (10.0) and cleaning coverage (8.0). Where it gives ground: navigation (4.0) and pool size (5.0). The maker doesn’t say whether the app connects over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

The best price we found is $359.99 at Aiper, 10% off its $399.99 list price. The typical robotic skimmer we track costs $379.90, so this one is about average. For what it does, its value score is 6.7 out of 10.

If you want a Wi-Fi app, the cheapest we track with it is the Beatbot iSkim Robotic Pool Skimmer at $359.

To spend less for nearly the same spec score, the WYBOT F1 Solar Powered Robotic Pool Skimmer rates 6.8 for $299.98.

Bottom line: a good pick for yards with trees: leaves get skimmed before they sink, pools with no outlet near the deck and above-ground pools.
