aquabot t2 or maytronics

[yellowbellied]

I just can't seem to decide on which pool cleaner to buy. I have a 20 x 50 gunite pool that needs constant vacuuming. It seems every model out there seems to have issues, and I've narrowed my decision to either one of these. My issues, though are:

Aquabot: a bit more expensive, reviews are so so.
Maytronics: no warranty if purchased through the web.

Any suggestions on which model is the better option?

Both are good brands but they have so many different models, some are good, some are not so good.
You need to narrow it down to which models you looking at and more important, what your budget is

I've narrowed it down to the Aquabot Turbo T2 or the Dolphin DX5

SOme of the really large maytronics dealers have warranty on them, even if purchased online. Got mine online I do have warranty.
dont know all the different dealers, it wold take some searching and maybe a few phone calls. got my cleanier at epicpoolsupply dot com.

Dave, have you had any issues with the Dolphin? It seems like they all (regardless of brands) break down after a couple of years.???

When I did my research on bots. I found aquabot is very expensive to repair compared to dolphin. They also seemed to have more problems. You can also buy the DX5 online with a warranty in the Z5 which saves you a few hundred.

No I havent had any problems at all but I havent had it all that long either. I bought mine based purely on their reputation and after reading literally 100s of reviews about them.

Maytronics is the top of the line when it comes to quality pool cleanersm(IMO). There are lots of folks on the forum who've not had a single problem with theirs and have been using them for years. Its hard to find a negative review either here or on Amazon about one.

Im crossing my fingers that mine keeps on going, and going and going....

Check your credit cards to see which double the manufacturers warranty, I've filed different claims for pool related materials. Got back over $500.

Don't sell yourself short on the Aquabot T2. I have had mine for 8 yrs now and he is still going strong, doing an excellent job of cleaning my pool. So far, he has never needed repaired. I have replaced its worn Drive Belts and Drive Tracks myself - easy thing to do. I think the key to any robotic cleaner is regular maintenance.
