Budget cordless floor robot for above-ground pools · Reviewed by Katie · amazon.com live, Sept 24 2026
Why it scored a 72
The Seagull SE 2025 is the cheapest way into a robot at $147.98, which earns Value 84, but little else lands. It is cordless, with a 90-minute runtime, a 2.5-hour charge, 1,200 GPH suction and two brushes, and it parks near the wall when the battery runs low. It is built for flat-floor above-ground pools up to 40 ft and cleans the floor only, so Features sits at 62. Owners give it 3.9 stars over 1,027 ratings (Satisfaction 78), Reliability is 70 and the warranty is 1 year. At 72 it is under our buy line.

Should you buy the Aiper Seagull SE 2025?
The Aiper Seagull SE 2025 is for a small, round above-ground pool where the budget is firmly under $200 and brushing walls by hand is fine. At $147.98 it ranks #10 of 10 in our Robot Pool Cleaners category and sits under our buy line. Only 2 were left in stock at our check. The Dolphin Nautilus AG is the dependable above-ground floor cleaner, and the Aiper Seagull Pro ZT6002 adds wall climbing for $399.99.
Where it earns its score
- Lowest price. $147.98, down from $159.99, and less than half the next-cheapest robot in the group.
- Cordless and compact. No cable to tangle, and it measures just 13.5 x 11 x 6.8 inches.
- Self-parking. When the battery runs low it stops near the pool wall for easy retrieval.
- Two brushes. Dual drive motors and two independent brushes with 1,200 GPH suction handle loose floor debris.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 55. Aiper covers it for 1 year, versus 2 years on the Aiper Seagull Pro ZT6002.
- Floor only, short runs. It does not climb walls, and 90 minutes per charge suits small above-ground pools rather than large ones.
- Weakest owner rating. 3.9 stars over 1,027 ratings is the lowest in this group; at 72 it is under our buy line.
Our verdict
The Aiper Seagull SE 2025 scores 72, Buy With Caution and last in our Robot Pool Cleaners category. Value (84) is its only strong factor; Features (62), Quality (68) and a 1-year warranty (55) pull it under our buy line. If your above-ground pool needs a floor robot, the Dolphin Nautilus AG (79) is the safer buy; for walls too, look at the Aiper Seagull Pro ZT6002 (81).
