Looks like so much cool new stuff is coming out...
Does anyone have any idea when these will be coming to the US?

No news i've heard of. This post has been up there for months now and i still haven't heard a word about these impressive looking beasts!

What a beautiful beast!!! :inlove:

Now to find the plans to that critter for a little DIY... ... ...

 

[danskim]

Haha yeah, go for it!
Build me one too while you're at it

Why Bother?
Looks like a whimpy Bubble maker to me! Unless it looks like White PVC Pipe Running, It's just a big Ole Paper weight to me!

Eh?

My Point is the Body of the Skimmer, in the Pic you provided, isn't filling the Skimmer body with a Dense white "PVC Pipe" Look, the way a real preformer should look.
It looks like a Huge Impresive piece of Nothing!

Oh I think that was like right when the reviewer got it (evidenced by the fact there is absolutely no foam anywhere near the head). I just posted it for a full body shot.

Here is a picture of it running after half a day:

And here is one after 2 days and a cleaning:

Also, an impressive video:

Just think what it would do with a mesh mod...

two days of skimming? is there a drain on the collection cup? as I do not see anything collecting. Just another overpriced skimmer.
My nano skimmer collects more in two days.
