Beatbot AquaSense 2 vs Aiper Scuba S1

Both models on one scale, every figure traced to its manufacturer datasheet. Bar length means the same thing here as on every other page of the site.

AquaSense 2 vs Scuba S1, to scale
  • AquaSense 2
  • Scuba S1
Pool capacitymore is better
3,230sq ft
1,600sq ft
  • AquaSense 2: Published as Recommended Pool Size of 300 square meters (3,230 square feet), specified on a pool bottom area basis in the official spec table.
  • Scuba S1: Pool size: 1600 sq.ft (150 m2), 50 ft (15 m) in length; spec table lists ideal pool type as in-ground while product copy says designed for both above-ground and in-ground pools
Runtimemore is better
Not published
180min
  • AquaSense 2: Beatbot publishes up to 4 hours of continuous floor cleaning from the 10,000 mAh battery, a floor only measurement basis, not a whole pool runtime covering walls and waterline, so no comparable runtime value is charted.
  • Scuba S1: Published as up to 180 minutes in the S1 product page spec table; Aiper's own comparison table on the Scuba S1 Pro store page lists the S1 at up to 150 minutes.
Flow ratemore is better
5,500GPH
4,200GPH
  • AquaSense 2: Published as 5,500 GPH suction, but Beatbot's own footnote states 5500 GPH was the highest rate tested in Beatbot's internal labs and actual results may vary, so this is a peak internal lab figure, not a rated continuous flow.
Filtration (finest layer)less is better
150µm
3µm
  • AquaSense 2: FAQ states a 150 um filter capturing leaves, hair, sand, and insects; spec table lists a 2 L filter basket. Two FAQ entries describe it inconsistently as single layer and as two layer, both at 150 um.
  • Scuba S1: 180um Fine Filter Basket plus 3um MicroMesh Ultra-fine Filter (3.5 L filter basket); the 3um figure is the ultra-fine secondary layer. Aiper's comparison table on the Scuba S1 Pro store page lists only the 180um layer for the S1.
