5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!

I put this skimmer in the pool and it can run all day, because it is solar powered. It keeps the water surface clean and clear of debris, pet hairs, insects and anything else floating on top. Plus keeps all of that from going into the filter. Is a real time saver, not having to manually skim the pool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Skimmer but needs one improvement
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2023
We live in Phoenix AZ where it's very hot in the summer so the swimming pool is our most important oasis we like to use at the end of the day. It is an irregular shaped pool with one coved seating including steps in 3 places and a tanning ledge and I like to keep it CLEAN. We also have neighbors that have tall Silk Oak trees to our West and because we have a prevailing breeze toward the East we get a lot of those terrible type of leaves (the kind that grab onto things like leaves with fingers) in our backyard and pool.

I received the Betta SE 2023 on July 7, 23, put it in the pool and away she went! I LOVE THIS THING! It just meanders around cleaning the whole surface and when it gets stuck in any area, after about a minute or so it backs up a few feet then starts forward making a turn at the same time avoiding the trap it was currently. To be honest after observing it for a while I came to understand that even if it's not trapped, it will stop and go backwards then begin forward and turn at the same time so I believe it is programmed into it's logic to do this ever few minutes as a measure to un-trap it and possibly cover more of the pool surface. I really do like this feature very much. It is also has a large basket that is super simple to empty and clean. It's light weight with an easy to grasp handle. Except for the improvement needed (suggested below) it really is the perfect skimmer!

IMPROVEMENT NEEDED:
One of the feature designs is that it has wheels on the front left and right of the body at the water level which is supposed to keep it from scraping against the wall tile when it touches as it meanders around the pool. If your tile is part of the wall then no problem but if your tile is of an overhang type where the wall is recessed (as our pool is) then the height of the water will have to be raised to about 1/2 inch below that tile for the wheels to touch it or else the body of the skimmer will endure scraping. Because of this I had to buy a special level that would allow me to raise the water to that level but the downside is that now the built-in pool skimmers is almost useless because of the height of the water keeping larger leaves and even small debris from entering due to the lower flow because the water level is so high.

The fix would be to redesign the wheel attachment to allow some vertical adjustment. This would be very easy to do, in fact I almost did it myself but before I got that far it suddenly had a malfunction.

MALFUNCTION 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE:
On July 28 exactly 2 weeks after receiving an putting into service I looked out and noticed that the skimmer was not meandering. I looked closer and saw the normally green blinking lights were blinking red. So I took it out of the pool, made sure it was clean, dried it off and put it on my kitchen table to inspect it. I thought maybe the sensor lenses needed cleaning so I carefully clean them and then cleaned the body and looked it over real good. I could not visually see anything broken or out of place so I placed it back into the pool and turned it on. The green lights started blinking and away she went - but that only lasted for about 2 seconds. After the 2 seconds the green lights went dim and then the system shut down. I did this a couple of time in a row with the exact same results. I believe that it has a faulty battery or "bad cell" because being a long time technician that is the way it acts to me.

I contacted Amazon support, told them of the problem and was given a decision to either return for credit or wait till Monday where support would call me and help me go through some diagnoses steps. I opted for the refund because I honestly don't have much time this time of the year because of the work I do.

I decided to give an overall rating of 4 stars because of the battery problem but not less because they really took good care of me and gave me no hassles, also I really like the unit while it was running - in fact so much that I'm going to use my money to purchase another one hoping that the first one was just a fluke.

EDIT:
I am adding to the above review now that I have had my new (2nd one) beta for about 6 weeks now (it is 8/28 at the time of this writing and I have UPGRADED from a 4 to a 5. I LOVE THIS THING! Really, it is just the best little skimmer ever.

The 1st one I purchased definitely has some issues and I am so glad after returning it that I took the chance and purchased another. This one runs very strong, runs around the pool day and night (flashing pretty green lights) never quitting and never getting stuck - it really operates flawlessly.

I'm not saying that the improvement I suggested above would not be welcomed because then I could run my water level using the built in leveler keeping the water about 2 or 3 inches below the lover ledge of the our type hanging tile. But as long as you don't have a hanging tile with lower sharp edge (like ours) or you use a float that is designed to keep the water level high (within an inch of the lower tile edge) then it simply is a pleasure to own and operate this little bot. Cleaning is a breeze, you just unlatch and open the top up, grab the basket handle and dump it in the trash put it back in, close the lid and latch it - very very easy and it keeps my whole pool from getting dirty. I also purchased a Polaris (which is also awsome) but I hardly have to use it at all because this betta does almost all the cleaning work before the debris every sinks below the surface! Really good.

TIP! Before you place the skimmer in the pool get some good car type nano wax (with UV protection) and wax the top and sides of it really well. This will help keep the unit looking new. Wax it about every month more or less and it will stay looking great. Otherwise it will fade especially if you're in a hot climate like we are (Phoenix AZ).

That's it! I love this thing so glad I purchased it.
Yami.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for the price. Simple yet effective!
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024
This pool sweep is quite amazing and effective as a surface cleaner. The solar power works very well and eliminates the need for cords or hoses.
My pool is surrounded by large oak trees which not only drop leaves in the fall but also drop “tassels” this time of the year, spring. The technology is such that it doesn’t have or need a strong suction since it literally sweeps surface debris into the basket. I intentionally waited several months before reviewing so I would have time to assess its effectiveness. I would definitely recommend and purchase it again!! Hopefully it continues to work for at least several years but at this price I would still think it’s cost-effective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy, convenient and reliable
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024
This surface skimmer is awesome. I have used it for about a month so far without any real complaints. It cruises along 24/7 capturing and floating leaves or debris in the pool. It keeps the surface clean and has reduced the frequency at which I need to empty the pool skimmer baskets. It’s quick and simple to empty. So far there has only been one time that cloudy whether lasted long enough for the battery to run out. Once the sun returned, the device automatically went back to work.
The unit’s obstacle avoidance can be a little hit and miss but doesn’t really cause a problem. I had to create a vertical extension that I attached to my chlorine floater to prevent it from fitting under the skimmer and getting thumped by the paddle wheel propeller when they would collide. But that’s not something I consider a negative about the skimmer.
The only negative is the remote control. It’s slow and clumsy to use. But I don’t really have a need or want to use that anyway.
