Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is awesome. It’s incredible how much grass and debris this collects. The solar charging is awesome. Everyday it’s at 90%.

We have a wide open backyard with minimal shade and this thing never dies ! The solar power is awesome. The app is easy to use and awesome. Cleaning it is simple and awesome. I now mow the lawn and this bad boy gets all the grass that blows in and it’s awesome ! You own a pool with good sun exposure? Buy this. It’s awesome.

This is a great waterline skimmer! We have experienced a lot of cotton in our pool this summer and this works great to avoid the cotton plugging up the pool skimmers and filters! Also because of its solar capability, it can be left in the pool while we have it uncovered!

I’ve hd this for about a year now. Got it because my neighbors trees dump all sort of leaves, seeds, pollen, etc into my pool. This little gem does wonders at helping keep all that crud out of my skimmers and/or sinking to the bottom, requiring netting out. To that end, it is a huge labor and time saver. THe only negatives are space for the chlorine puck holder is not deep enough, so the holders lid wont fully close until the puck is about 1/4 dissolved. (It does not interfere with operation), and the basket can be a bit fiddle to remove. Other than that, no issues. Solar is another bonus. I put a charge on it beginning of the season, haven’t had to recharge it since.

100% a great buy. I charged it once and it ran all summer long. Saved me so much time cleaning the pool.

Let me start by saying this is required tech for every pool owner. We have 2 large trees in our neighbors yard. The Surfer S2 keeps a happy community, because no side at the neighbor when i go out to clean the pool. It is spring and the tree buds did shed and there were husk all over the yard...but not in the pool! At least not that I could see. Roger (our Surfer S2) worked NIGHT and day to give my "bottom feeder* robot and skimmer little work to do. We have the Surfer S1 and the S2 knocks it out of the park with a battery/solar combo that improves to provide 24x7 cleaning. I have charged it 1 time in now 3 weeks of cleaning! Only problem i have had is a stuck anti stranding bar in a first run unit. Still doesn’t stop the AWESOMENESS.

I love this pool skimmer. Keeps my pool clean, runs 24 hours. Charges while cleaning, picks up everything. Nothing falls back in pool. Picks up the tiniest bugs.

Press the power button once and let it swim all day and night. We've not had to charge it one time over the course of two months. Like others have stated, it'll work straight out of the box and continuously charge via solar. We only take it out of the pool whenever we need to swim or if it needs to be cleaned. The detachable container was super easy to take out and hose down. I highly recommend this product for any pool owner out there.

Skimmer was wonderful for first season. Took it out of storage for this season and one of the propellers will not spin. Tried everything apt said to and basically motor is shot.

So far, it's awesome. We have a ton of pine needles that blow in from a neighbors yard and into the pool, Skimmy takes care of them all! I think we've charged him officially once, the rest of the time he runs on solar and luck. You do need to use the noodle in the pools built-in skimmer, as Skimmy doesn't have a TON of power to jet away from the suction, but with the noodle in, he just zips by it on his normal rounds.

Keeps the pool extremely clean of floaters and has a nice smart setting to only run when needed.

Using now for 2 weeks, its is not cheap I know but this little guy really helps keep the leaves off the bottom of the pool. We have been able to turn off skimmer and now working the water level drops and pump is sucking air and no debris be getting into the pump.

Great solar skimmer and does a great job skimming top of the pool

Love the Aiper Surfer S2. Just put it in and away it goes. I charged it the 1st time and have not since, used well over 10 times. With the solar panel it charges itself. Would highlight recommend it.

I truly regret purchasing this expensive pool skimmer. Right out of the box, it was nothing but problems. It took over 8 hours to fully charge, and only after doing a firmware update did the LEDs finally indicate that it was charged. After setting up the cleaning schedule and placing it in the pool, I started the cleaning cycle – but it was a disaster. The propellers would only spin for about 15 seconds, then stop for 30 seconds, before trying again. This repeated cycle eventually stopped altogether, leaving me with a non-functional skimmer. I tried to restart the setup sequence three times, hoping it was a one-off issue, but it never worked. Honestly, it was faster and less frustrating to skim the pool manually rather than deal with this unreliable product. Buyer beware – don’t waste your time or money on this.

I call this my Timex skimmer. Takes a likin and keeps on tickin! Best battery life for a skimmer under $1,000.

Great for little insects like No-see-ums, or any other that end up in the water, as well as any leaves. Big basket so you won’t have to be cleaning it frequently.

Wasy tonise and works as expected. Pool surrounded by trees and this beast takes care of all the leaves

Works absolutely fantastic! I was a little skeptical, but after a full season, couldnt be happier

Purchased this for my 80 year old Dad. He still calls me every time he cleans it out to brag about how amazing it is!
