My 14 x 28 pebble-tec pool gets bombarded with a bunch of 8-10”pine straw, leaves from live oak, water oak, sweet gum, and hickory trees, occasional hickory nuts, acorns, debris, heavy pollen in spring, and sand. In fall through spring it’s a daily mess, although a solar cover now keeps some of the stuff from getting in.
I’ve talked to Margaret at Marina, and she recommended choosing from these
Pentair Warrior SE or SI by Maytronics
Maytronics S300 or S300i
Maytronics M600
Based on the comparison charts at Marina, I’m leaning towards the S300i because of the app and cart, but could go down or up a level but would like to find out:
People have reported in past the dolphin wifi app had a lot of bugs, have the bugs in the app been corrected?
Do any notify you when basket is full, or automatically shut off?
Is there any difference in collection basket capacity between these models?
Any advantage to having 2 vs 1 active brushes?
What is the difference between “wifi” and “wifi enhanced” on Marina’s comparison chart?
How useful is floor or wall only cleaning?
Our main drain is a circular ~1” raised grate if that might be a place for the robot to get stuck on, are any of these models better at avoiding getting stuck?
Would there be a problem with any of the robots running while the solar cover is on?
Someone has complained about Maytronics warranty service, would buying the Pentair branded Warrior get better warranty service?
What justifies the $400 difference between S300i and M600?
Any other models to consider?
The Hammerhead resort model at ~ $1700 isn’t that far above the M600 price, and after a storm my pool bottom can have a bushel basket full of leaves in it, but I might get that kind of debris 6 times a year. Would still have to brush the walls though.
Any recommendations and advice will be appreciated
Thanks!
