Preparation for the new pool has moved to cleaners....especially after fooling around with the Kreepy next door and not having much luck. The PB sold it to them for $600 and I said no thanks, I will find my own. I will have a suction line but not impressed with Kreepy. Pressure is not really an option due to initial and ongoing costs. Even though robots are not cheap, I like the concept. A local company has the Tiger Shark and they say they have not had any problems. I like the fact that they are local and also do warranty work but that is the only brand they carry. They will also take it back if I am not happy which is probably worth something compared to an internet company. Based on some of the review here, I am thinking that being able to return for no cost and having a service center close is a plus. I am also considering a blue pearl and dolphin. You can search high and low and find positive and negative reviews for every cleaner out there. Bottom line is it needs to work in my 12x24x42 grecian L. We live on old farm land so not a tree in sight. Expecting mostly dirt and grass in the pool. I would love to hear any suggestions from the group and particularly from anyone who has or has known of someone with a robot and similar pool. I would like to stay under $1000 if at all possible. Thanks
