Would you rather spend hours swimming in your pool, or hours cleaning it? Dumb question, right? The Aiper Seagull SE will automate that thankless task for you, and it’s on sale for Prime Day for 37% off.
This model crawls along the floor of your pool, patiently vacuuming up leaves and other light debris. We raved about its performance in our review, and it remains our top pick in the budget-priced category.
It’s designed for smaller pools—up to about 850 square feet—and its battery will run for about 90 minutes on a full charge. It should park itself at the edge of the pool when it’s finished, so you can retrieve with a hook attached to a pole.
The Aiper Seagull SE is only $158 todayThe Aiper Seagull SE is a very basic cleaner, so it can’t scrub the pool’s floor or climb its walls to do the same, but models that can do that cost $1,000 to $2,000 and more (you’ll find reviews of those and other models in our roundup of the best robotic pool cleaners of 2024).
But you’ll likely find that running it on a daily basis will free you from the chore of doing it yourself. We called it a bargain at $249.99, but you can grab one during Prime Day for just $158.
