Buying advice

When choosing a robotic pool skimmer, consider pool size, debris type, and desired automation features. Larger pools benefit from models with advanced navigation and larger filters, while smaller or budget-focused installations can opt for basic skimmers that excel at surface debris removal. Energy consumption, ease of maintenance, and warranty length are also important factors to weigh against price.
