I have a Betta SE Plus skimmer bot. The only thing it’s doing this time of year is picking up bugs (we have tons of trees). I was shocked that the basket is so fine that it gets them.

Betta SE Plus, it's nice to be able to charge it cloudy, or pool is shady. I have it and and older Betta 2. I keep one going 24/7. Picks up 10x more than my skimmer.

I bought a Betta SE Plus a couple of years ago and I love it. It‘s solar powered and starts running a within 30 minutes of sunrise through a couple of hours after dark. Other than emptying the filter, there is no maintenance. Well worth the $300 ish we paid in my opinion.

You got a defective Dolphin, don’t let that dissuade you until you actually get a working one. Last year I bought a Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro. 36/18/8’ inground pool; 28k gal. Works great. Has an app. Can just leave it in and schedule cleanings or push the button. It came with a fine filter basket (I

I have had a 18 x 38 pool for 24 years and never vacuumed it. For 17 years, I had a Dolphin Diagnostic that died after a nearby lightning hit and replaced it with a Dolphin M400 with ultra fine filters. I throw it in the pool Thursday evening and may watch it with a glass of wine by the fire pit. Po

Third! Specifically the Betta SE Plus which solar charges but can also be charged from an outlet. In the summer I almost never have to manually charge it and it just runs 24/7 picking up surface debris. That also keeps a lot of it from sinking to the bottom. In the winter I have to charge it every f

I use the Sora 30 paired with a Betta SE Plus, seems to work great for me. I have several trees near my pool that constantly drop debris so the 24/7 solar skimming was the answer for me. As for the Sora fine filter - it works great but is a little more annoying to clean so I’ve only been using it on

Sora 30 + Betta SE Plus here. Started with a Sora 70 but I have several nearby trees so I wanted the 24/7 skimming. Didn’t seem logical to keep the 70 after buying a Betta.

Someone posted just the other day how the cordless basically died after a year. Never tried one. My house came with an old Aquabot, I replaced it last year with a Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro (corded) and very pleased with it. Has gaskets, added an ultra fine one that gets used after we’re open and clear

My Betta SE Plus runs 24/7/365, well worth it. At least with 4 oak trees dropping leaves, acorns and catkins. Still need to use a leaf net during the worst days, but the Betta catches a lot of stuff while you're doing other things (like sleeping). It keeps a lot off the floor, so a robot is not need
