The verdict

The Seagull SE does one thing: keep the floor of a round above-ground pool clean for the price of a few pool-service visits. Don't expect wall or waterline cleaning — and if your pool is in-ground, spend more.

What we like

  • Lowest price of any robot here at roughly $150
  • Light at 7.5 lbs and easy to handle
  • Self-parks near the wall when the battery runs low
  • About 1,040 Amazon reviews — a large sample for a budget robot

Watch out for

  • Floor only: no walls, waterline or steps
  • 90-minute runtime limits it to smaller pools
  • No app, no scheduling, and a 1-year warranty

The Aiper Seagull SE (2025) is a $150 cordless pool vacuum for above-ground pools. It has dual-drive motors and two independent brushes with 1,200 GPH of suction, runs for about 90 minutes per charge (2.5 hours to recharge), and parks near the wall when the battery runs low. It weighs 7.5 lbs, has no app and cleans the floor only. It also has about 1,040 Amazon reviews, which is a big sample for a budget robot.

Who the Seagull SE is for (and who should skip it)

It’s for you if you have a round or oval above-ground pool, you want to stop manually vacuuming the floor, and you’d rather spend $150 than $500. At 7.5 lbs it’s easy to lift out, and for a small flat-bottomed pool the 90-minute battery is enough.

Skip it if you want wall or waterline cleaning, if your pool is large, or if you have an in-ground pool with steps and ledges. For above-ground pools where you want a corded alternative, the Dolphin Nautilus AG is the better-rated step up, and our above-ground guide compares the options.

What it cleans

The floor, and only the floor. The listing is explicit about the suction and brushes but not about walls or the waterline, and robots at this price don’t climb. If you need wall coverage, the Wybot C1 at about $400 is the cheapest cordless option here that does it.

Battery and handling

Ninety minutes is short next to the 160–300 minutes of the pricier cordless robots, but a floor-only cleaner in a small pool doesn’t need much longer. The 44 Wh battery recharges in about 2.5 hours. The robot self-parks near the pool wall when the battery runs low, so you can retrieve it from the edge.

Reliability and warranty

About 1,040 reviews and a rating just under 4 stars on the live page is a normal result for a robot at this price. The warranty is 1 year, and there’s no app to update or support, so the product is as simple as it looks.

Bottom line

The Seagull SE is a fair, cheap floor cleaner for an above-ground pool, and it’s honest about what it isn’t. If you need walls, a waterline or a larger pool, spend more. See our best budget robots for the alternatives.
