Aiper Seagull -- Smallest Robot Vacuum Available?

Naxia Lascif · May 10, 2022

I am looking for the smallest, most compact robot vacuum on the market. So far, looks like that might be the Seagull (600 or 1000) from Aiper -- anyone know of a smaller one?

Seems like an okay brand, not as pricey as Dolphin or Polaris, but the unit also seems a lot smaller (which is what I need).

My pool is pretty small, and has stairs and benches all over, so finding a robot that is compact is paramount.

I'd love to know if anyone has had experience with the Seagull, or even if there is another robot out there that might fit my needs

I think if it were me I'd use a simple PoolBlaster Max on my pool pole and do it by hand that way. You could clean that big tanning ledge with one, which a robot won't do unless its deep enough to submerse the robot in almost entirely.
I was once given an extra fine filter for our PoolBlaster Max and you should see if one is also available?

I have the Aiper seagull 600 cordless and the Aiper Orca Pro 1200 corded. They are both well made. I bought the seagull 600 more as a novelty and mostly use the corded one for true cleaning. That said, I was surprised at how much the little 600 did pick up. It is really only supposed to be used for flat bottom pools but it takes on my slope to the deep end relatively well. It does not climb walls at all though. The 600 would do well in your pool assuming its flat but only on the bottom. You would have to manually brush those stairs and ledges. It only runs for 50 min but scoots along pretty well. It’s not my main pool cleaner but it might work well for certain sized pools.

Yeah, I already have the Water Tech Volt FX-8Li Vacuum, which is pretty good, it just takes a bit of time to do all the stairs, ledges, and benches in my pool. And I'm just too lazy to do that twice a week

I'm glad I have it still have it, as it does the trick for spot cleaning

Yup -- I ended up getting the Aiper Seagull 600, as the price is so good it was worth trying it out.

Takes me about 5-7 minutes to brush all the ledges, bench, and stairs pushing everything to the bottom of the pool. Then I toss the little guy in there, and he does a really surprisingly good job of cleaning up everything on the bottom.

In the end, this turned out to be a quicker and easier solution than using my Water Tech Volt pole vacuum
