1 / 7BRINBO SK01-X Solar Pool Skimmer Robot with App
The BRINBO SK01-X solar pool skimmer robot is designed to collect floating pool debris, with app control, two cleaning speeds, and solar or adapter charging. Its listing describes surface skimming rather than a general-purpose pool-floor cleaner, so buyers should match it to that task.

Customer feedback is represented by aggregate ratings only, with ratings spread between favorable and unfavorable responses. That offers a limited, mixed signal rather than explanations of performance or specific issues. Buyers should weigh the ratings cautiously and assess whether the listed surface-skimming role, random route, app functions, and dual charging fit their needs.
