  • Cordless (battery)
Check it on Amazon

Good for

  • Owners of above-ground or flat in-ground pools
  • Buyers who want cordless cleaning with self-parking

Skip it if

  • You need more than 150 min of runtime
  • Your pool is larger than 1300 sq ft

Dual suction inlets and a long brush capture leaves, sand, dirt and fine debris from flat or slightly inclined surfaces up to 15 degrees. 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.
