If you own an Aiper Seagull Pro cordless robotic pool cleaner, there's an active safety recall you need to know about. This page summarizes the official U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) notice so you can check whether your unit is affected and get it replaced for free. We're not linking you to buy a Seagull Pro, because you shouldn't; this is a safety notice, not a review.
What was recalled and why
The recall covers the Aiper Seagull Pro cordless robotic pool vacuum, model number ZT6001. Its large charging adapter can overheat, which the CPSC describes as a burn and fire hazard. The firm received 19 reports of the pool vacuums melting, smoking, or catching fire while charging, including five incidents of property damage. No injuries had been reported at the time of the recall.
The hazard happens during charging, so the single most important step is to stop charging the unit right away.
How to tell if your unit is affected
The recalled Seagull Pro units share these details:
- Color and size: dark gray, weighing about 24 pounds and measuring roughly 19.5 x 18.5 x 15 inches.
- Markings: the "Aiper" brand name is printed on the top/front. The model name and a serial number that begins with "61" are printed on a label on the bottom.
- Where and when sold: from March 2023 through May 2024, for between $700 and $900, at Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, and Walmart stores nationwide, and online at aiper.com, Amazon.com, and those retailers' websites.
This recall is specific to the Seagull Pro. It does not apply to Aiper's current cleaners such as the Scuba S1, Scuba S3, Scuba X1, or Scuba V3.
What to do if you own one
- Stop using it immediately, and stop charging it. The fire risk is tied to the charging adapter.
- Contact Aiper for a free replacement. Aiper is providing a free replacement Aiper Scuba S1 robotic pool cleaner to affected owners.
- Reach Aiper toll-free at 888-968-0666 (9 a.m.–9 p.m. ET, Monday–Friday), by email at recall@aiper.com, or online at aiper.com/seagullpro-recall.
The bigger picture
Recalls like this are a normal part of a fast-moving product category, and the honest read is that Aiper is handling it the right way: a clear CPSC notice and a free current-model replacement rather than a repair kit for a known fire risk. The replacement, the Aiper Scuba S1, is a current model that is not part of this recall. If you're researching Aiper cleaners generally, our roundup of the best Aiper pool cleaners covers the current lineup.
Always register a new pool robot when you buy it, so the manufacturer can reach you directly if a safety issue ever comes up, and follow the charging instructions in the manual.
