1 / 7BOTLIFE PS100-BOTLIFE-1011 Solar Pool Skimmer Robot
BOTLIFE PS100-BOTLIFE-1011 is a cordless, app-controlled robotic skimmer designed to collect debris from a pool’s surface. Its listing describes solar and DC charging, a 6-liter basket, and up to 20 hours of runtime, making it a fit for routine surface cleanup rather than a substitute for a pool-floor cleaner.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives inconsistent battery details: it specifies 28.8 volts and 2500 milliampere_hour, but also says one 12V battery is required. Runtime is stated as up to 20 hours and depends on conditions. Confirm the battery configuration and charging details in the selected listing before purchase. The skimmer is described for surface debris collection, not pool-floor cleaning.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Pool owners seeking automated surface skimming for floating leaves and debris.
- Buyers with an in-ground or above-ground pool who want app-based controls and a cordless design.
- Those who can use solar charging in direct sunlight or recharge through the stated DC option.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a robot for scrubbing pool floors or walls, which this listing does not claim.
- Anyone who needs an independently verified runtime or an unambiguous battery specification before buying.
