About a year ago I tested and filmed two Aiper cleaners, one very similar to this one but with a traditional cord. The other Aiper cleaner was a compact battery-operated unit which I think lacked cleaning time and didn’t have great programming. The Aiper Seagull 3000 is like a combination of these two cleaners and I think this time around Aiper got it right. The Seagull 3000 is a cordless type cleaner since it has a floating battery and an 8ft cord attached to that so technically it is not entirely cordless.
The floating battery gives this cleaner plenty of power and a 2 hour cleaning time so it is a good compromise in my opinion. Note that the battery cord is only 8 feet 2” in length to the maximum depth of a pool you can use this in is 8 ft. So it is designed for a small to the medium pool and with the 2 hour run time you couldn’t effectively use it in a large pool anyway.
The Seagull 3000 utilizes a built-in, rechargeable, 7800mAh Battery so the 2-hour run time is accurate in my testing. So far I have run the cleaner in two different pools several times and it is performing very well. The cleaning time is good enough for a 14,000-gallon pool or less.
There is an app that you can download and connect the cleaner with and I must say although the app is simple it connects via Bluetooth quite quickly and holds the signal surprisingly well. I suspect because the controller floats in the pool allowing for an easy connection. In the app, you can see the remaining battery life, a very nice feature and you can fine-tune the cleaning cycle. You can set it to do a combination of floor and wall cleaning modes giving you more cleaning flexibility.
I think the coolest and a useful feature in the app is the ability to take manual control of the cleaner and in manual mode, you can make the cleaner go forward, backward, left, and right allowing you to spot clean your pool if needed. Having a way to control the cleaner is a very nice feature and one that can come in handy for sure. All in all the app works well and it is simple enough.
The cleaner is a top-loading type which is convenient and the debris chambers are quite large. I don’t know the micron rating of the canisters but I will assume ut is around 100 microns as very fine dust will not be trapped by the cleaner. I wonder if Aiper will have a finer debris canister soon, but so far I don’t see one listed on their site.
If you read the reviews most of the one-star reviews on their previous models were about the drive belt breaking issue. So you may want to purchase a few extra from the link above if you decide to go with the Aiper cleaner. That seems to be the one part the wears out on these cleaners. For the price point of the cleaner that is to be expected. I believe it is a warranty part but I am not sure of what the 24-month warranty will cover.
For the entry price point, the Aiper Seagull 3000 has a lot to offer and it is worth looking at if you are in the market for a mid-range priced cleaner.
