read up a little, it's the same just a different distribution channelIs there a big difference between S1 and N1? N1 is a little bit more $ on website from what I can tell.

Katodude, do you experience any problem in the deep end when it’s in wall mode like I described above?I run my S1 pretty much every day. It easy. I drop it in the pool and then I fish it out with a dedicated pole and hook. I plug it in to charge. I clean the filter every few days to a week, depending on how dirty the pool is.
The unit is cheap enough what I treat it like a tool and not part of the family.
Mine hasn’t shipped yet but I hope you’re right. A charging stand would be great. I’ll report back if/when I receive it if no one else chimes in.For those that have the S1 Pro, are there battery charger connections on the bottom? I’m wondering if they are going to release a charging stand like on the Beatbot Aquasense. On the Aiper website, I’ve seen two accessories listed that are not currently for sale. One is the buoy that appears to enable app use and the other is a picture of an unknown stand. I’ve been looking at the Beatbot and that charging stand is pretty compelling to me.
Looking at pictures of the S1 Pro, there are two little squares on the underside that are similar to how the Beatbot chargers look. I’m wondering if they are the same?
This was discussed earlier in the thread. Same product just different distribution channels. I think the N versions will be sold in the big box stores.really appreciate this thread. I'm seeing an N1 sold by lowes, but mostly S1's being sold. I can't seem to find what the difference is between the 2. Anyone know?
yeah I hadn't made it to the last 2 pages yet and now see it's the same thing. Thanks.This was discussed earlier in the thread. Same product just different distribution channels. I think the N versions will be sold in the big box stores.
No worries. I hear you, I was nervous as well. I have a rectangular pool but a large deep end with angled walls. Hoping I don’t have to worry about the pro struggling to climb walls or staying upright. I think I only paid $200 more for it. Was on sale for $899 and then had a 15% off coupon so paid $765 total. Don’t appear to have been charged any sales tax, wonder why that is.yeah I hadn't made it to the last 2 pages yet and now see it's the same thing. Thanks.
Going to bite the bullet on the s1 and hope for the best. Nervous as I have a kidney shape and 3.5 to 8' with a pretty steep incline/decline.
I have no idea what they are for but it does indeed have two metal contact plates on the bottom. Hopefully you’re right about a possible future charging stand/station.For those that have the S1 Pro, are there battery charger connections on the bottom?

If the walls on your deep end turn into concave “walls/floors” all the way down to the flat bottom, then watch to see if the same thing that happened to me occurs with your pool when in wall mode. In the shallow end, it goes up the wall, then back down to the flat floor, backs up about 2’, makes a quarter turn and then another before starting back up the wall again. Works great BUT, when it gets down the incline a bit and goes up & down the wall, it’s not ending up on a flat 90 degree bottom like in the shallow end so, when it backs up that 2’ in order to make the turns to go back up the next section of the wall, it stops on a concave wall/floor and gravity takes over. The S-1 basically just slides down the curved section to the bottom and then can’t figure out what to do next. Ends up with most of the walls in the deep end going untouched. Bummer.yeah I hadn't made it to the last 2 pages yet and now see it's the same thing. Thanks.

Haha I think few people actually need a robot vacuum in general. Seems like a luxury and a convenience. But you’re right, difficult to say if it is worth an extra $200. I wanted the extra fine filter, dual brushes, more power, etc. No idea if any of that will make a noticeable difference. This is also my first robot vacuum so I’ll have nothing to compare its performance too other than a pool blaster and a regular hose vac.to those who got the pro... did you really need it? I guess it would be hard to know unless you had both.
Let us know how it makes out when cleaning the walls in your deep end. See what the robot does when it goes back down the wall to get ready for the next sectionNo worries.
