Yours is the most common / basic shape used for ages.my vinyl lined pool has a slop from 3 1/2 to 7 feet AND the walls in most areas are in an angle.....
Thanks for updating!!! Keep us posted when you try another.

Today is the first I've heard if it. I like the 3 or 5 hour clean cycle. With a bigger pool, that'd be more likely to get it all for me.has anyone heard of "blwl" vacuums????
Was the primary issue the slope of the deep end? Mine is about 20 degrees so I was just curious if this was the main issue.I finally returned the Seauto Shark for a refund, and was able to get a refund on the Asurion extended warranty too. After about five iterations of their software/firmware to correct navigation issues, it still wasn't right. I give Seauto credit for trying and if they stay in the pool robot business I suspect some time in the future they will get it right.
I just pulled the trigger on the Evo 614IQ. Twice the price but I need a cleaner I can throw in and walk away instead of constant monitoring. I also have a much higher level of comfort knowing there will be always be support for the equipment. Cheers!
That was one of the original issues though they fixed it and after the fix the incline was not a problem. My pool incline goes from 8.5' to about 3.5'. The issue they were not able to overcome is the rounded corners of my pool. The programmed logic for floor only mode was not able to deal with the needed change in direction when the cleaning pattern reached a corner. Instead it would continue going into and out of the corner for a very long time. Even if I reached into the water to manually redirect it, it would turn back and continue going to the corner. I found it very cool (though it was part of the problem in this case) that the robot remembered where it was before I redirected it and was able to go straight back to the same spot. Further, I still think there is promise in the technology (brushless motors, sonar, etc...) but the software isn't there yet.Was the primary issue the slope of the deep end?
This fairly echoes my experience so far, with same basic pool design. I've sent email to Seauto requesting either 1) reduce floor mode angle sensitivity or 2) provide option for floor and walls mode.I am in the process of returning the seauto and getting something else. It was my first ever vacuum, so at the beginning I though it was excellent, but I am now realizing that it leaves a lot to be desired.
Pros:
-it goes up the wall easily.
-it is amazingly good at getting unstocked from the floor drains
-battery life seems good
Cons:
- The cleaning patterns is TOO random......... regardless of which mode I put it in, or how many times I run it, I always have large areas that the robot skips...
- It doesn't do well with small dirt (which currently is the main problem with my pool as I am still "under" construction.
I think the problem is actually the shape of my pool........ my vinyl lined pool has a slop from 3 1/2 to 7 feet AND the walls in most areas are in an angle...... I think that is what is confusing the robot....... I think this model might do well on a more standard pool.
