This Might Be the Smartest Way to Clean a Pool (Beatbot Sora 30 & iSkim) (Video)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smart Home, Product Reviews, Videos
Keeping a pool clean sounds simple until you are the one trying to keep leaves, bugs, pollen, dirt, sand, and that weird waterline grime under control right before people show up. In this video, I’m taking a look at a different approach from BeatBot: instead of asking one robot to do everything, the Sora 30 handles the floor, walls, and waterline while the iSkim patrols the surface.
The big question is whether using two pool robots is actually useful or just overkill. After testing the Sora 30’s suction, wall climbing, smart parking, and long battery life alongside the solar-powered iSkim’s surface cleaning and oversized debris basket, the answer depends a lot on your pool, your backyard, and how much debris you deal with day to day.
