    Pool robot woes

    My very old (first gen) Roomba product did my stairs. Of course, that was a different house, different pool, different stairs configuration - but it did them. The thing that annoys me is that Sublue told me it would do the stairs.

    Had I been aware of either the Blue Nexus Pro or the Beatbot, I'm not sure I would have gotten the Blue Nexus. However, what I paid is significantly lower. As an aside, the Blue Nexus does NOT clean stairs. We have fairly wide stairs and it just doesn't get up there, no how no way. Even if I...

    Pool robot woes

    I've been using our Sublue (we call him "Charlie") for a few days without any issue. The newer bot listed a few posts above this seems to solve all of the minor complaints I have with Charlie, although I don't know if those complaints would be worth an $1800 price tag. 1. The app is rather...

    Sorry for the delay! It arrived while I was out of town (FOR A MONTH) and I just returned back this morning. Digging myself out of all of the mail and unpacking and then I will get it charged up and throw it in the pool. May take me a few days to be back with an update.

    Pool robot woes

    Discovered the issue as to why the lift functions haven't been working and why it's just been sitting there: the brush and wheels on one side of the unit are frozen. I don't know why - nothing is stuck in there that I can see. Waiting on the company to let me know what it might be and how it...

    Whelp, my initial reports are not favorable. I'm not in love with the app or the lift function (which doesn't always work) and I've been having some other issues with the unit as well. The last two times I put it in the pool, it stayed in one place and did nothing. It also doesn't make it...

    Well, my Blue Nexus was delivered ... one day after I left town for two weeks :-/ I'm encouraging my pool guy, who is a relative and lives with us, to unbox it and let me know how it works. I'll update at the end of November if he doesn't!

    That's a very detailed review! I didn't have the patience to watch the whole thing but spot-clicked through it and got the highlights. I'm really crossing my fingers this is the unicorn I'm looking for.

    No I haven't received it yet. They said they will start to deliver in October so a few days ago I asked - early, mid, or late? The response I got was late. So I don't expect to have it for another month at the very least. Can't wait!

    Keep me honest, guys! If I don't post updates, tag me so I get an email to remind me. I'm super busy and will tend to forget things like this.
