Hello All
I have had a Solar Breeze NX-2 for 4-5 years and the gears have finally died (have had it replaced x2). There are no replacement parts for it since it's discontinued. What is a good replacement for it in 2023? I have read the forums here on the Ariel, Betta 2. I have also seen that Solar Breeze have come out with a 3rd solar skimmer called the Skimbot. Anyone have any experience with this? I like that the Skimbot will "spray" some water against the wall when it bumps up against it to dislodge the debris that may be on the side of the pool and suck it up. Also, it has an app that acts as a remote control for spot cleaning. The NX-2 did not have any of these features. Also looking for:
1. durability/reliability
2. getting the job done (NX-2 was great except for the debris sticking to the side walls)
3. good battery size
4. good customer support
5. not too expensive
