A 5200mAh 6-cell battery gives 150 min of runtime, and a full charge takes 3 hours. The 2.2L filter basket holds debris for longer sessions, and self-parking docks the cleaner near the pool wall when the task ends or the battery runs low.
How to choose
Match runtime to pool size
Runtime decides whether a cleaner finishes a large pool on one charge. The Aiper runs 240-270 min in Eco Mode, the Letexpool runs 180 min, and the OUCAXIA runs 150 min. Compare those figures with the pool sizes each maker gives: up to 1615 sq ft for the Letexpool and up to 1300 sq ft for the OUCAXIA. A longer runtime suits a larger pool, while a shorter runtime fits a pool the cleaner can cover in one session.
Wall and waterline cleaning
A large pool vacuum should clean more than the floor. The Aiper, Letexpool and Dolphin models clean walls and the waterline, and the Aiper also covers shallow areas above 12 inches. The OUCAXIA focuses on flat or slightly inclined surfaces up to 15 degrees with dual suction inlets and a long brush. If your pool has walls that collect debris, pick a model that climbs walls rather than one built only for flat floors.
App control and upkeep
App control lets you choose modes and schedules without handling the cleaner. The Aiper app offers 5 cleaning modes, cleaning logs and a Weekly Custom Cleaning Plan, while the Letexpool app offers 7 modes and customizable paths, and the Dolphin uses Wi-Fi scheduling. For upkeep, rinse the filter basket after sessions: the Dolphin uses a top-load basket and the OUCAXIA uses a 2.2L basket with a quick-rinse design.
