    Well my Triton is finally working like it should. For one reason or another it is MUCH less powerful with the standard filter cartridges. I put the Spring cartridges in and it's like a new machine. Climbing the walls, the steps, picking up every particle of dirt on the pool floor. THIS is...

    Thanks. I spoke with customer service and they are sending a vgb cover which "aids" the unit to suction. I should have it any day now.

    I may give it a shot. I don't get many leaves or sticks, but lots of small particles. Do you know who sells the bags. Will I need any other accessories to make the bags work?

    Does one work better than the other? I am more than willing to try the bags if they work better.

    This unit does not use filter bags. It uses cartridges. It's not that it picks up dirt then it comes back out. It just won't pick up. So frustrating.

    So I've finally had a few opportunities to use my new Triton. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. The robot gets around well, climbs the walls nicely, brushes are always going BUT - It doesn't vacuum well. It doesn't stay close to the floor. The suction is not great. After every full...

    That's interesting. I just bought it a week ago and it was on their website. Now do you see why I'm skeptical? I'll post when it arrives.

    It's brand new. I did a ton of research because I was skeptical. The price was substantially lower than every place I've seen it and I even called Maytronics to get info on the reseller. The company is http://www.doheny.com/. Maytronics said it was their best reseller and I should not worry...

    I actually found the Dolphin Triton for $699 +$99 for remote and caddy with free shipping and no tax. Looking forward to trying it. It seems that the Maytronics product in general is solid regardless of the model. (hoping)

    I'm really glad to hear that. I almost bought an Aquabot until I started seeing very consistent reviews on the Dolphin product. The other brands are very inconsistent. After reading up on the 3 models it seems that remote controls, cable length and other external factors are what...

    Hello - I am new to this board. I've been looking at pool robots and I'm getting dizzy. I've scaled it down the brand I want and now need to choose the model. My pool is 16x32 in-ground. My finalists are the following: Dolphin Nautilus Dolphin Quest Dolphin Premier (A bit out of my price...
