The Beatbot iSkim is a good skimmer. We previously owned a different brand and decided to purchase and try out Beatbot after that skimmer quit working. We charged it initially with the adapter and the solar panel has kept it charged since. It does a good job keeping the surface clean. It does run into the wall occasionally, but we do have an odd-shaped pool. A couple of times the basket has come loose while in the pool. We weren't sure if we didn't snap it fully back into place or if it hit a corner hard enough to make it come loose. The placement of the button for the basket could be better. A small bit of debris will come out when it backs up or sits still, but it isn't terrible. We have owned the skimmer for two months; it has been in the pool 24-7 except for pulling it out to empty it. We have only manually skimmed the pool a few times after bad weather. I have used the app a couple of times to control the Beatbot, really just to see how it worked, and it works well. We live in southeast Texas and our pool is open year-round, so we will be putting the Beatbot to the test over the next year. Overall, I am happy with our decision to purchase a Beatbot.

After running my Beatbot iSkim 24/7, day and night, for four months without a break, one of the propellers stopped working. I contacted customer service, and they immediately apologized and sent me a return shipping label the very same day.

Once they received my unit, they emailed me to explain that the iSkim was on backorder. Instead of making me wait, they offered me the upgraded iSkim Ultra, with the option to exchange it again whenever I wanted. On top of that, they included clarifying agent completely free of charge!

Just four days later, my brand-new iSkim Ultra arrived with all the extras. The entire experience was absolutely incredible, and I honestly cannot remember ever receiving better customer service in my life.

This is exactly why I’m so happy I purchased directly from Beatbot and have the peace of mind of their 3-year warranty. These robots are among the best on the market, and if you watch comparison videos on YouTube, you can see how they stack up against the competition. Knowing that I have a company standing behind its product makes all the difference, especially when running a robot day and night.

Because of this experience, I’m already planning to purchase their bottom-of-the-pool cleaning robot as well. The product quality, warranty, and outstanding customer service have earned my trust completely.

Thank you, Beatbot! You are the best, and I’m so glad I found you. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a high-quality pool…

I run this skimmer alongside my Aquasense 2, and the two together keep my pool completely clean. The skimmer handles the surface, the Aquasense 2 handles the floor and walls, and I haven't had to skim or vacuum by hand since.

The standout feature is the solar charging. I leave it in the pool and let it run all the time, and I've only had to plug it in once. It just keeps going day after day, which is what really makes it feel set-and-forget.

One small suggestion: after a couple of rainy days, I noticed it was searching for a sunny spot to recharge around 11pm. Since it's always connected to the internet, it would be great if it could factor in daylight hours to maximize charging efforts. It's a minor quirk and doesn't affect how well it cleans, and that’s the only time I had to use the optional wall charger.

Highly recommend, especially paired with a robot that handles the bottom of the pool.
