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.

While it does work as promised, it is not the last skimmer you will purchase. Water, chemicals, salt, and the elements will cause this product to disintegrate & fail. Getting any refund or replacement parts via email is a hassle, as they want pictures of the failed or broken part. They should simply mail you the part that breaks because it's always the same part. It's the "O" ring that goes around the base to ensure that the unit fits tight around the return opening that travels to the pump and filter. I am on my third one in 6 years.

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.

SAVE YOUR MONEY IS RIGHT, this only works for about 2 days. The rings ware out & warp, and the suction is gone. Then all you have is a worthless basket floating sideways... SAVE YOUR MONEY.........DON'T BUY THIS, YOUR MONEY WILL GO DOWN THE FILTER....

I was very surprised to see such low reviews for Skim-a-Round. I usually am skeptical about products I see advertised on social media and this product was no different. I am quite the male Karen when products disappointment me however this product did not disappoint. It was on sale, shipped free, arrived within two (2) days of purchase, and works exactly as described. I assembled it which was very easy and placed it in my skimmer basket. Within a matter of 30 seconds, my entire pool surface bugs and debris had been pulled into the basket “cyclone”. I was so impressed by this product, I recommended it to my colleague the next day at work.

The only Bernoulli effect was my $41.00 going down the drain. Nowhere in the instructions or videos does it show how far below or above the water line the top of the unit has to be. There is NO vortex created at all. I've got the ring at max setting and nothing! There is also zero indication if the unit sits right on top of the intake or what. The skimmer set-up my pool has is a unit with an adjustable flap that sat below the old basket.
