Is it worth $300? Betta SE Pool Skimmer Review

Описание: If you ask most pool owners what they dislike the most, it’s not balancing chlorine or cleaning filters. It’s skimming the surface every single day. And lucky for you, this is the product for you. Shop the Betta SE: https://amzn.to/489iFS9

That’s why I wanted to test a fully solar-powered, cordless surface skimmer that you can drop in the pool and forget about. Would it actually save time—or just drift around?

In today’s video, I’m reviewing the Betta SE Solar Skimmer. I’ve tested nearly all the top pool skimmers, and this one genuinely surprised me. If you’re tired of hand-skimming bugs and leaves every morning, you’re going to want to watch this. I also compare a few other skimmers at the end so you can see where the Betta SE stands in the lineup.

Inside the video, I cover:

• Real-world performance after weeks of testing
• Solar charging and battery life (no charger, no dock, no babysitting)
• How the ultrasonic navigation works
• How it handles wind, corners, and running alongside corded pool robots
• Filter basket size, durability, and long-term reliability
• How it stacks up against the Dolphin Skimmi, Aiper Surfer S2, and Beatbot iSkim Ultra
• Limitations you should know before buying
• Who should get this skimmer—and who should upgrade

This isn’t a sponsored review. No paid opinions, no sugarcoating. Just real testing and real results.

The Betta SE is simple, affordable, and shockingly hands-off. If your main battle is surface debris—leaves, bugs, pollen—this thing feels like a cheat code. You just drop it in and it stays in the pool, running every day on nothing but sunlight.

But if you want more power, app control, or the absolute best performance, I also break down alternatives you might want to consider.

Thanks for watching. If you want the best price on the Betta SE or want to see all my reviews, check the link in the description or visit ActuallyUsed.com.
