Just jump on the $799 Evo price. It's hard to imagine anything better anywhere close to this price. You must get the fine filter though - another $50. It is a huge difference what it will pick up. I'm a bit disappointed to think that the robots avg lifespan is 5 years as most say...

Very interesting - Marina doesn't show to sell the 8642iq, but it may be the reason the EVO 614iq is on sale. They may be liquidating inventory. The two robots look very much alike when you compare their operating parts - just a different shell. I will try not to have any regrets if I just...

Excited to see my new 614iq had a firmware update today (maybe it had been there since I got it last weekend - I didn't have notifications turned on), but does Aqua / Evo list their features and updates for each release? I've scoured their web site and missed it if they do. The control box...

Interesting, but I believed since the power center and my phone are both on wifi that would be fast communication as long as they are connected, and both are, regardless of where you are in relation to the device. Then it sends the commands down the power cable to the robot, which also I...

Thank you @Jimrahbe - based on your info and the input by others, I went with the Evo 614iq as well. The first use has impressed me - for reference to others that might some day find this thread, first review is here - New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

Another first day positive review for the 614iq First - the pool was more of a mess than I realized. I knew it was dirty, but I hadn't done anything to it in about 3 weeks, back before our cold snap and 9 degree weather. However, both skimmer baskets had floated (rarely happens in this...

Thought I'd start a thread vs risk taking over another one like the great review thread for the Evo - New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review I read the first 5 pages and the last 5 pages of this thread for info. Current situation - 30 by 15 pool, 5' depth, with a sun ledge starting its 10th...

Where have you found a Home Depot with stock? The couple I have checked, Far North Dallas/Plano, have none and they've taken inventory off their web completely, won't even let you see who carries the product, just says check with the store. I found some at Lowe's on Preston last week, but...

I also turn the pump on high to empty my skimmer baskets, just keeps everything in them and makes it easy. I do not turn the pump off during the process. It can make it a little heavy to lift out from the suction, but never enough to break a basket. Also if they are real full I skim out...
