The differences that matter
- Runtime, 270 min vs 180 min: the Scuba S1 gets an hour and a half more work done before it stops.
- Filtration fineness, 3 µm vs 10 µm: the Scuba S1 holds back smaller particles.
In short
Aiper Scuba S1
Suited to a weekly clean scheduled from the Aiper app, done in a single run without restarting midway. The finer filtration also holds back smaller particles, and the app receives software updates over the air (OTA), with nothing to plug in.
WYBOT C2
Suited to an above-ground or in-ground pool, with a 3 l basket and an automatic return to the edge at the end of a cycle. The trade-off is the shorter cycle and the coarser filtration.
