I have the AWD Breeze and it can climb my walls to the waterline, so I'm not sure what they mean by 60%.

Not only does it climbs the wall no problem but it literally tries to climb out of the dam pool. I kid you not.
The only problem with XLS at this point is I have only heard one person write about it and it wasnt as positive and glowing as the AWD.
you can read my review at http://www.doheny.com about the AWD.
There is only 1 review and its mine.

But which model is the Doheny AWD, a re-badged Rapid or a Breeze?
(Aquabot doesn't make any called a AWD, just 4WD, so it must be a re-badge)
I asked at Doheny's, but have yet to get an answer back.
I'm not sure exactly how you would tell, maybe by looking at the output of the Power Supply?
Or by how many sf/hr it is rated for on the box and/or included literature?
Thanks for any input you can provide.
Inquiring minds want to know...
mpk1970 said:That I dont know but I have a belief it is both. My thoughts are both Rapids and Breeze
Are identical despite any differences possibly shows on any site.
Why? These are the only aquabot models built the way they are just like ecojet line.
I dont think any difference also because Doheny also called aquabot direct to verify
Before I bought it.

I'm sure you are correct.
The only difference is the Warranty is better for the BMO versions.
I found this PDF file buried on their web site that explains it all.
http://www.aquabot.com/PageFiles/1635/2013 Product Catalog.pdf
The BMO versions start on Page #20
In this catalog they have examples of what the cleaner is going to do when it hits a 90 Deg corner.
It shows both 4WD version will climb it, both XLS versions won't.
This is not a deal breaker for me, $250.00 difference means I'll have to scrub the vertical walls in the shallow end. (I'll have to do the stairs anyways)
I ordered the XLS.
It has to be better than my old Hayward Navigator...
