This company advertises a lifetime warranty but won't honor the warranty even within a year. They charge a premium price for an average product and do not stand behind their warranty promise.

DO NOT buy from this company. They advertise that the skimmer basket "fits all skimmer boxes" - it does not... the basket was too wide for our skimmer and as such would not sit down far enough to be below the waterline. I emailed them 2 days after it arrived and they sent back saying that return requests had to be sent within 15 days of it being sent (their website says 15 days of being sent or 10 days from receiving). After I emailed back saying that as we are in Australia and it was over the Christmas period, it had only just arrived. They then replied saying that I could send it back at my expense for a refund, but only had 48 hours to do so. I physically could make this deadline. As such we have an item that we cannot use and are out of pocket. Not only is this false advertising, but they are very rude and make it extremely difficult to deal with them. I would strongly recommend buying from somewhere else.

Junk - Mine broke and the company will not honor thier own warranty. It does nothing for your pool.

Its not free shipping. You receive a bill from Fed-Ex after the fact. So while it is free for them, it’s not free for you. Going to try the skimmer but not much faith in what they say at this point.

I purchased one of their units. It didn't do much of anything. I contacted them for a return. They agreed to refund the money but I have to pay the shipping back to their office in Florida. The cost of shipping will be higher than the refund I will receive. I contacted them about that (mentioning that Amazon pays shipping both ways on products) and essentially told me to pound sand. Think long and hard before you buy one of these...It doesn't do much and they will make you pay the freight back to their office for you money back!

Overall about $200 wasted. I have to connect my Polaris Maxx suction vacuum via my pool skimmer. The skim-a-round causes such a suction disruption that it stalls my vacuum and pump every single time. You also need special attachments, only available by emailing support and paying extra shipping for twist lock hoses. I even paid a pro to come try and troubleshoot it. It never functioned and they refused a refund.

Purchased the product but it did not fit my pool skimmer. It arrived in a large box. Inside was the original box but it was damaged and the blue tablet that came with it had leaked all over the box. I assume that’s why it was repackaged. It cost about $16.00 to return it. It was received by them on 5/24/2024. I have yet to receive a refund. They did say it would take up to 14 business days to inspect the product.

I am extremely disappointed with the Skim-A-Round all-in-one skimmer baskets. Despite the glowing descriptions and high promises, this product does not work as advertised. I expected it to effectively skim debris from my pool, but it failed miserably. The basket struggled to capture even the smallest leaves, and larger debris simply bypassed it entirely. It's clear that the design is flawed and not up to the task. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable pool skimmer.
