Surface skimmer robots
Floating robots that clean nothing but the water's surface, catching leaves, pollen and bugs before they sink. Most charge from their own solar panel and run through the day.
6 robots · 4 brands, $300–$599
Ordered by the pool length each robot’s cable or battery covers, longest first, then by price; robots with nothing published to check come last.
