Overview

A floating, solar-powered skimmer that patrols the pool surface around the clock, catching leaves and pollen before they sink. The iSkim Ultra arrived in 2025 and the cheaper 2026 iSkim followed in April 2026 at $499. It does not clean the floor or walls, so it is meant as a companion to a bottom cleaner such as the AquaSense 2 or Sora. The Ultra is currently sold out on Beatbot.com but both versions are on Amazon.
