Dolphin Deluxe 4: Repair Or Replace?

[s_mark]

I have a 7.25 year old Dolphin Deluxe 4 that requires $147 in non-motor repairs (has original motor). I can buy a new S200 for $699.

Repair or replace?

Mark,

Welcome to TFP! I don't know much about robot cleaners but we have a few experts on this. I'll call them for you.

I would replace. 7 years is definitely getting your money's worth. As soon as that motor goes out it will probably 500 bucks or more. And the S200 is great!

SOME places sell it for nearly that much - $399.99.
