Brushpup, may I ask where you ordered the M5?

Thanks for the feedback TWong! I'm going to wait a bit to see if they have any Memorial Day sales (but I doubt it). Seems that the Z5 is pretty much only sold by Epic. Can't seem to find anyone else selling it.

Twong, I was looking at the Z5 but from other posts it looks like it's not the same - specifically it's missing the third brush? Do you use the Z5, and if so, for how long and what's been your experience? Thanks!

What's Google? :) Of course I did! If you can find a link that actually sells the M5, please pass it on to me. A lot of the links that come up, you get to the site, and no M5 to be had. Lots of DXs, Advantages, etc. Which is part of my original rant about why Maytronics has so many...

I currently need to replace a broken iRobot Verro and have started looking at Dolphin cleaners. The newer ones appear to get good reviews, but it's so darn difficult trying to figure out what model is what and where you can get it. And once you do settle on a model, you find that you can, or...

I was a little annoyed at the way WaterTech tried to convince me that I would have to return it to them at my cost and that I shouldn't have called Sam's for repair or return. Sam's has an unconditional return policy, which Water Tech tried to convince me didn't apply to their products and...

After much research and contemplation, I decided to purchase the Verro 500 from HSN because I found a great deal (PM me if you iwant info on how to save an extra $75 and 4% cash back). I've determined that the Verro is either a non-remote BD or the BD Pearl based on pictures and specs. As...

Yes, this looks very much like the Blue Diamond. I did notice that the warranty is only 1 year though - BD has a 4 year / 400 cycle. BTW, there's a good deal at HSN dot com for the Verro - it's under $1K, free cart, and you can put it on 4 equal installment plans. No, I don't work for them or...

I agree not sure how much of the bags will actually capture of the stuff. Though most bags claim down in the micron size, but I'm not sure how many microns the dust you're dealing with is. I would be more concerned about how the movement of the robot itself wouldn't just kick up all the dust...

Tim, I'm glad to hear they were so accommodating and that it worked out for you. Keep us posted if you have any other issues and how much you like it as the season continues.

I had a BD Remote I purchased last summer and the same thing happened - about three weeks after I started using it. I too live near the East Brunswick facility, but refused to send it back because they wanted me to pay for return shipping. I think it's a terrible policy for a company to expect...

Jamey, what did you end up getting? For what it's worth, and others reading this thread in the same choice of what to buy, I bought a BD remote last season and ended up returning it due to be faulty in the first 30 days. Watertech wanted me to send it to them at my cost for the warranty work...

Rich, I would be interested to see how the Blue Diamond is holding up for you so far. I'll add my two cents to this post. Bought a BD remote last season and ended up returning it after it was faulty in the first 30 days. Basically, the whole 4 year warranty is suspect in my opinion...

Mid to end of season last year I purchased a Blue Diamond (remote model). For the first 10 or so uses I was pleased with it. It then started to intermittently stop working. So I called the manufacturer, who incidentally is located in NJ, and they confirmed that it was indeed defective and...

Where can you find this on the Frontgate website? I was looking and it appears they only have the Blue Diamond as their branded pool cleaner, as they do not mention Blue Diamond anywhere, and the list their price is $1,195.00. That seems to be about the price of the non-RC Blue Diamond. I...
