The Betta 2 robot is perhaps the ultimate in automatic pool skimmers. It is propeller driven and runs off solar power. Built-in sensors identify pool edges or other obstacles so it can simply be put into the pool and left to navigate its way around. Should it need to be directed, there is a cordless remote for manual control.

The twin Superior Continuous Torque (SCT) motors are both chlorine and salt tolerant, so it can run in most any pool water. An intake impeller guides leaves and other debris into the internal tray. A convenient handle makes it easy to empty. Adjustable anti-strand bars help prevent the Betta 2 robotic pool skimmer from getting stuck on steps or shallow areas of the pool. LED status indicators provide a variety of useful feedback.

The Betta 2 skimmer is a remarkable device, but the investment required is considerable. Plus, it is only a pool surface skimmer, so it won't tackle the sides or bottom of the pool. The battery cannot be charged via household outlet or USB, so it relies solely on there being adequate sunlight.
