Surface skimmer~$429Beatbot
Beatbot iSkim
A solar skimmer with a 24 W panel and a 10,000 mAh battery that Beatbot rates for 28 hours or more with no sun at all. Its nine-litre basket is coarse — 30 mesh, about 550 microns — so it catches leaves and bugs, not dust.

A specification not listed here is one Beatbot does not publish for this model. It is left blank rather than estimated or borrowed from a sibling.
Features
- 24 W solar panel
- 28+ hours on a full charge without sun
- 9 L basket
- Dual ultrasonic sensors and IMU
- App control
What it does well
- Beatbot rates it for 28+ hours on a charge with no sunlight
- Nine-litre basket, tied with the iSkim Ultra for the largest of any skimmer here
- Three-year warranty, longer than the pricier iSkim Ultra's
- App over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, where the Betta and Surfer S2 make do with a remote
What it gives up
- 550 µm mesh — pollen and fine grit pass straight through
- Beatbot publishes no weight or pool-size limit
- Random and edge paths rather than planned coverage
The two lists above come from the maker’s own specifications and this site’s arithmetic on them, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.
