Get the Scuba S1 if…

  • Budget is the main thing.
  • Your pool stays fairly clean.

Get the Liberty 200 if…

  • You want better cleaning and a longer life.
  • You have a tanning ledge.

Why the Liberty 200 wins

The Liberty 200 has the better filter, cleans sun ledges and has Dolphin's service network behind it. The Aiper is fine for a smaller pool on a tight budget.

How we reached this verdict

We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications and the problems owners keep reporting, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
