Dolphin Skimmi Robotic Pool Skimmer

Don’t pay attention to the online reviews about no plug in charger and the fact that it doesn’t have smart guidance. I’m in the northeast, opened my pool early May and this thing hasn’t run out of battery except for the few times when we had 3 days of constant rain and clouds. Honestly I’m not going out to clean the pool those days anyway.As soon as it gets a few hours of sun it’s back to work.As far as how well it cleans, it’s done a phenomenal job on my 20x40 pool.Just buy it with no worries

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This little thing is great! It scoots around our pool most of the day and the evening and picks up very small debris and bugs on the water. You have an app to download and can program it too. We already have a Dolphin robot (and it is amazing) so we thought we’d give this a try. Man was I right. You will not be disappointed!!!

We love the new Dolphin Skimmer we got, you just set it up and pull the pins out and place it in the pool and forget about it. It will run when it's ready and stop in it's on, charge in the sun and then run again. It will dock to the side and you can easily clean the tray and replace it and it's ready to go again.

It works but not the best ... I wish on the App have the option of minutes to run it!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I thought i had reviewed this, if not here goes. This is a great little machine. It'll run all day as long as the sun is out. It does a great job of skimming the surface. The only thing it does that I do not understand is it will park against the bulkhead of the pool and push for several minutes in one spot. If you are having trouble doing all the skimming, this will cut the job by at least 3/4's
