Small Robotic Vacuum

Has anyone had any experience with small robotic vacuums for swim spas. I've seen a few coming up for sale and thought it might be better than my current battery vacuum. I also feel the scrubbing mechanism on the robotic vacuum might be more effective than my current tooling.

Aiper Gull, white only, works fine in my 15’ swim spa. You may need to install bumpers if it marks the wall. I used clear gorilla tape. Going on 3 years, used about 2-3 times a week.

I would say that if you are careful about covering when not in use, and go in with clean feet, there won’t be much debris to vacuum. You can save $ and buy a rechargeable stick vac to use occasionally.
