Trying to do research on replacing my Blue Pearl cleaner (which died after 2-1/2 pool seasons).
I like the SmartPool line, and love their prices, but I have read too many bad reviews on Amazon. Did a BBB search and they have a lot of warranty/product complaints. They've changed their model line (the Scrubber 60 is now called the 9i), but it looks like the only actual change is the color and a shorter warranty. Scary to me that they went from a 2-year warranty on the to a 1-year warranty.
Researching robotic cleaners is a real pain. Wish there was a simple answer for quality and longevity.
UPDATE: SmartPool 9i died in under 75 days, was repaired and returned and worked fine the rest of the season
